A Blonde in Love (Lasky Jedne Plavovlasky)
Date	Location
Forman's first international breakthrough hit is a near perfect, wonderful, sweet and funny sex comedy about a girl who takes a one night stand a little too seriously, with farcical results.
24 Aug Sun 7.15	Glasgow Film Theatre, Glasgow

Alice Adams (Double Bill with Double Indemnity)
Date	Location
Small town girl Alice (Hepburn) hails from the wrong side of the tracks. Yearning for nothing more than middle-class acceptance, she dates well-to-do suitor MacMurray.
24 Aug Sun 1.30	Glasgow Film Theatre, Glasgow

Aliens
Date	Location
Revived from a 57-year snooze in deep space, Warrant Officer Weaver is cajoled into joining a marine rescue mission to the planet that is home for the original alien beastie. Unrelentingly paced with a terrifically gutsy performance from Weaver, this nerve-shredding sequel not only matches its predecessor but cannily surpasses it. An Oscar winner for special effects.
23 Aug Sat 8.30	Filmhouse, Edinburgh

Alvin and the Chipmunks
Date	Location
Likeable pre-school comedy featuring a bunch of pint sized chipmunk pop stars and their long-suffering human guardian (Lee).
23 Aug–24 Aug Sat & Sun 10.20am	Vue Hamilton, Hamilton

Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging
Date	Location
After the disappointing 'Bride and Prejudice', writer/director Chadha takes a step into younger territory with this adaptation of two of Louise Rennison's books. The film lacks the sharp wit of slick American comedies such as 'Clueless' and 'Mean Girls', but earns points for featuring actresses, including lead Groome, who really are the age of the characters they're playing.
22 Aug–28 Aug 11.00am, 1.30, 4.00 & 6.30; Tue & Thu 11.00am, 1.30 & 4.00	Cineworld Renfrew Street, Glasgow

The Apartment
Date	Location
This new print of Wilder's corrosive 1960 lampoon of corporate America tells the story of spineless insurance statistician CC Baxter (Lemmon). Having fallen into the practice of leasing his apartment to his superiors for illicit liaisons, Baxter is rewarded with high-speed promotion. All of which suits him fine until he realises that one of the ladies being taken back is the girl of his dreams.

Arthur and the Invisibles
Date	Location
In an adaptation of his own children's book, Besson mixes live-action and CGI animation with patchy results. Arthur (Highmore) embarks on a quest to save grandmother's (Farrow) house, complete with troll-like Minemoys, an evil wizard and saucy princess. Most entertaining in its live-action sequences, it's heavy on style but light on originality.
31 Aug–1 Sep Sun 1.00; Mon 10.30am	Filmhouse, Edinburgh

Bachna Ae Haseeno
Date	Location
Between the ages of 17-30 years old Raj (Kapoor) has relationships with three women. One from Mumbai, one from the Punjab and one from Australia - but what does he learn from these romances? Bollywood coming of age musical with music by popular electronica composer Vishal-Shekhar.

The Ballerina Ballroom Cinema of Dreams
Date	Location
Revelling in the mystique of cinema, Tilda Swinton and Mark Cousins present a bohemian film festival of dreams. Screening three films a day, the eight day programme will open with Peter Ibbetson's 'Henry Hathaway' , close with 'Federico Fellini', and include Joel Coen's choice, 'Dames'. Seating will be on bean bags and a tray of fairy cakes will get you in for free.
15 Aug–23 Aug (Times vary)	The Ballerina Ballroom

Ben X
Date	Location
This mock-documentary introduces us to teen Asperger's sufferer Ben. Moving backwards and forwards between his so-called life of bullying and high school torture and his escape into online role playing games, the film delivers a doom laden narrative. Balthazar's debut feature cleverly dodges and ducks where you would otherwise expect it to run straight.
29 Aug–4 Sep Fri, Sat & Thu 3.30, 6.45 & 8.45; Sun 3.30 & 5.30; Mon 3.30 & 8.45; Tue 3.30 & 6.00; Wed 6.45 & 8.45	Glasgow Film Theatre, Glasgow

The Boy In Striped Pyjamas
Date	Location
Set during World War II, eight-year-old Bruno, son of the commandant at a concentration camp, enjoys a forbidden friendship with a Jewish boy on the other side of the camp fence.
28 Aug Thu 7.00	Odeon Dunfermline, Dunfermline

Brief Encounter
Date	Location
Stiff upper lips and emotionally charged brushes of the hands are all that Johnson and Howard will allow themselves as their extra-marital 'affair' doesn't develop much beyond unspoken longings at a railway station. For some, the tears will still flow; for others, the ungiving morality is exasperating. Given the rigidity of this English romance, the Rachmaninov soundtrack is unfittingly sweet.
22 Aug Fri 5.15	Filmhouse, Edinburgh
26 Aug–27 Aug Tue 7.00; Wed 3.00	Glasgow Film Theatre, Glasgow

Buddha Collapsed Out Of Shame
Date	Location
This simple story revolves around the efforts of poor six-year-old Afghan girl Bakhtay (Noruz) to get herself an education. But poverty and male attitudes towards women conspire to keep her out of school, and outside it the willful tyke is brutally bullied by local boys posing as Taliban fighters and the occupying US Army. An admirable attempt to dramatise the plight of women and children in Afghanistan.
26 Aug–28 Aug Tue 12.45; Wed 6.45; Thu 8.45	Glasgow Film Theatre, Glasgow

Caramel
Date	Location
Charming, bitter-sweet debut feature from writer-director Labaki that centres upon the 'Si Belle' beauty parlour in the Lebanese capital and the dramas of the female clientele. The film is impressively acted by a mostly non-professional cast. While there are no references to the on-going strife in Lebanon, this is still a political film, and a tender tribute to female solidarity.
28 Aug Thu 8.30	Odeon Kilmarnock, Kilmarnock

Charlotte's Web (Subtitled)
Date	Location
Chirpy tot Fern (Fanning) rescues Wilbur the pig from a cruel farmyard fate for lovable arachnid Charlotte to eventually save the day in a bittersweet finale that touches on practical matters of life and death. Somewhere between the cutesy 'Babe' and Orwell's political 'Animal Farm' it should draw in children and nostalgic adults alike.
30 Aug Sat 11.30am	Glasgow Film Theatre, Glasgow

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
Date	Location
In the second instalment of the Narnia films, the Pevensie children are summoned back to Narnia for a slick, fast-paced romp through dark woods, underground caverns and fierce battles. With a simplistic plot, and Caspian (Barnes) reduced to a pretty face, Disney may have finally brought Narnia to the big screen, but for a real journey of the imagination, stick to the books.
23 Aug–26 Aug Sat 11.00am & 7.30; Sun 3.00; Tue 6.00	Tower Mill, Kirkstile

City Of God
Date	Location
The international resurgence of Latin American cinema shows no signs of slowing down. Following 'Central Station', 'Amores Perros', 'Y Tu Mama Tambien' and 'Nine Queens' comes an exhilarating Brazilian drama, 'City of God'. Based on Paulo Lins's sprawling novel and spanning three decades, it's an epic account of the growth of organised drug-dealing in a slum housing project, the so-called City of God in Rio de Janeiro.
31 Aug 7.00	ACE, Edinburgh

College Road Trip
Date	Location
Kumble's family-comedy-drama focuses on trust issues between high-flying teen Melanie (Raven-Symone) and her over-protective father (Lawrence).

Couscous
Date	Location
61-year-old weary Maghrebi émigré Silmane (Boufares) is in need of a miracle after being made redundant. Choosing to open a North African restaurant rather than retire, the action revolves around Sunday dinner for his extended family, where the depiction of Arab family life rivals that of 'La Haine' and 'Days of Glory'.

The Darjeeling Limited
Date	Location
Three eccentric brothers (Wilson, Brody and Schwartzman) cross India by train in an attempt to deal with the recent death of their father. On this evidence writer/director Anderson ('Rushmore', 'The Royal Tenenbaums' is fast becoming the John Cheever of US cinema. This film is preceded by a short by Anderson called 'Hotel Chevalier'; it is imperative you see this film in order to understand what follows. A delight.
27 Aug 7.30	The CatStrand, Castle Douglas

The Dark Knight
Date	Location
Nolan's revamp of the superhero franchise reaches its apotheosis with this sequel to 'Batman Begins', a supremely well-imagined, perfectly executed film that combines blockbuster spectacle with indie cinema cool and smarts.

The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
Date	Location
Julian Schnabel's third biopic tells the tale of 'Elle' editor Jean-Dominique Bauby (Almaric) who, after suffering a debilitating stroke, authored a slim memoir, 'The Diving Bell and the Butterfly'.

One of the very best examples of the post-war American crime movie genre. Adapted from James M Cain's novel by Wilder and Raymond Chandler, the regular-Joe-seduced-by-femme-fatale-into-murdering-her-husband-for-insurance-money plot is elevated by wise-ass dialogue and black comedy.

Female Agents
Date	Location
Allegedly based on a true story: in spring 1944 Churchill oversees a suicidal sabotage and rescue mission by female members of the French Resistance - a showgirl (Gillain), an explosives expert (Déborah François), a prostitute (Depardieu), a radio operator (Maya Sansa) and their leader (Marceau). Salome is an arch stylist and copyist but beyond the handful of great performances this feels like another po-faced TV mini series: interesting but pedestrian.

Hsiao-Hsien's film intricately weaves together compassionate insights into the pressures felt by a single parent with studious examinations of the methods of storytelling. Partly inspired by Albert Lamorisse's warming Parisian short 'The Red Balloon', Hsiao-Hsien's narrative ultimately draws a particularly fine portrait of the French capital.

The Fox and the Child
Date	Location
A giggly eight-year-old French child (Noël-Bruneau) strikes up a friendship with a fox she meets on the way home from school. This marks a step forward in narrative storytelling for Jacquet, who successfully depicts the fox as a wild and uncontrolled force in a non-Disney manner. An often beguiling account of how mankind and animals can exist in harmony.

Get Smart
Date	Location
Segal's tent-pole blockbuster revamp of 1960's spy spoof 'Get Smart' features Carell as an over-prepared secret agent whose clumsiness often leads to the apprehension of enemy spies. Given his chance to shine, Smart is sent to Moscow where he elicits the support of co-spy Agent 99 (Hathaway) as they attempt to thwart the terrorist schemes of KAOS megalomaniac Siegfried (Stamp).

Great Expectations
Date	Location
Lean's adaptation of the Dickens novel remains cinema's definitive version, even after half a century. An orphan meets an escaped convict and is introduced into a new world of adventures and finely observed characters. Photography and design at its best.

Grindhouse
Date	Location
Tarantino and Rodriguez's salute to the 1970s exploitation movie focuses on an ex-stripper with a grenade launcher-equipped machine gun leg, who meets and greets a troop of flesh eating mutating zombies. Taking a step down in tone, Tarantino's 'Death Proof' traces two groups of women tied together only by the presence of a lunatic ex-Hollywood stuntman. Complete with the original imaginary trailers, this 'double feature' offers the 'Grindhouse' package up on one deliciously cultish plate.

Hairspray (Parent & Baby Screening)
Date	Location
Faithful adaptation of the Broadway musical rather than a remake of John Waters' 1988 film. Although darker elements of the story are lost in pursuit of fun and a mainstream audience, this all-singing, all-dancing teen flick shines amid a summer of noisy blockbuster sequels. Travolta's surprisingly endearing performance (in full drag) as Edna Turnblad is the cherry on top.
26 Aug–28 Aug Tue & Thu 10.30am	Grosvenor, Glasgow

Hancock
Date	Location
Smith plays a nihilistic superhero who has fallen out of favour with the public. Due to this scenario, 'Hancock' dangerously flirts with the status of one-joke film. Amazingly, though, Hancock is then rescued (both as a character and as a film) by PR executive Ray Embrey (Bateman), who believes he can turn Hancock's public image from zero to hero.

Hellboy II: The Golden Army
Date	Location
Guillermo del Toro returns to Hollywood with a second blockbuster adaptation of Dark Horse Comics' cult supernatural title. A new storyline pits the hell-spawned hero against a mighty mechanised legion of unstoppable warriors. The sequel has more of everything ? monsters, action, humour, character development, supporting cast and mythology ? but it suffers from an overabundance of riches.
