Akira
Date	Location
Based on the multi-volume graphic novel by Otomo, Akira is a mythical, futuristic tale of post-holocaust Tokyo, where pill-popping biker kids begin to unearth a government project designed to exploit the psychic and telekinetic powers of a group of laboratory-bound children. Superbly animated, with a fantastic visual and narrative imagination, but you'd be well advised to know something of the plot before you see it. View full details

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.

The Bad and the Beautiful
Date	Location
Jonathan Shields (Douglas) is an obscenely talented film producer whose story is told from the perspectives of his ex-friends: a recovering alcoholic star (Turner), a celebrated director (Sullivan) and a bitter writer (Powell). Minelli's 1952 melodrama is bewitching, the screenplay is packed with zingers and it finely balances razzle-dazzle, heartbreak and insight. View full details

Azur and Asmar: The Princes' Quest
Date	Location
Childhood buddies Azur and Asmar become rivals and enemies in a medieval Maghreb. With the action taking place in North African Islamic architecture and over-populated bazaars, the colourful palatte of the animation and 'Arabian Nights'-style storyline is a welcome throwback to the days before Pixar tore up the rulebook. A compassionate and mature film based on classic legends rather than popular culture. View full details

A Dangerous Method
Date	Location
Cronenberg’s investigation of psychoanalysis, seen through the relationship between the two main proponents, Freud (Mortensen) and Jung (Fassbender) makes for a fascinating insight into a moment in history when the world of thought, and the way that we think about ourselves, was being fundamentally reshaped.

Date	Location
Katherine (Schneider) is a novelist living in Glasgow who's been diagnosed with a terminal disease; Roddy (Keitel) befriends her, but unknown to her he works for a TV company with its own agenda.

The Devil Wears Prada
Date	Location
Nice, twee wannabee journalist Andy (Hathaway) finds herself employed as one of two personal secretaries to the formidable Miranda Priestly (Streep), an Anna Wintour style fashion editor. With killer one lines, really well rounded characterisation and excellent performances, it's difficult not to fall for its myriad charms. Though formulaic, in terms of decent mainstream US films this year, this enjoyably innocuous, bitchy romp, may be as good as it gets. View full details
13 Aug 7.45pm	Mugdock Country Park, Milngavie

The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie
Date	Location
A group of friends find their dinner gathering interrupted by a series of bizarre, mostly dreamt-up events. Not as savage a satire as Buñuel's earlier work, but he is certainly more assured as he fires at his constant targets - the church, the state and the army. View full details

Fantastic Mr Fox
Date	Location
Anderson's inspired choice of stop-motion animation pays off in this beautiful and idiosyncratic adaptation of the well-loved children's tale. While kids may enjoy it, Anderson's typically arch humour is aimed more at their parents, who will also be impressed by the star-studded voice cast – Bill Murray as a badger lawyer anyone?

Ill Manors
Date	Location
Six interweaved storylines about violence, prostitution and drugs, all set around London's Forest Gate. The directorial debut of Ben Drew (aka hip-hop artist Plan B) is raw, uncompromising and ambitious; Drew elicits great performances and takes trouble to understand his wayward characters. A kind of hoodie Magnolia. View full details

The Illusionist
Date	Location
The product of five years' work in an animation studio that Chomet (Belleville Rendezvous) set up in Edinburgh when he fell in love with the capital after attending its International Film Festival, this is an uncannily accurate portrayal of Edinburgh and Scotland. The story is an unfilmed script from Jacques Tati and the main character, an ageing magician whose beloved act no longer interests the rock'n'rolling 1950s youth, is based somewhat on Tati himself and is carefully and emotively… View full details

Jo Nesbo's Headhunters (Hodejegerne)
Date	Location
Roger (Hennie) is a successful headhunter living beyond his means, who supplements his income with a double life as a gentleman thief, until one of his victims (Coster-Waldau) fights back. Tyldum's adaptation of Jo Nesbo's novel is somewhere between a Road Runner cartoon and a Coen Brothers thriller: breathlessly, outrageously entertaining. View full details

The King's Speech
Date	Location
As war approaches, King George VI (Firth) is suddenly placed in a position of power, so hires a speech therapist to cure his speech impediment. Firth's affable persona lends an edge to the sheer frustration with which the King stumbles his way through public performances and contributes largely to the film's feel-good twist.

Let the Right One In
Date	Location
Adapted from his debut novel by Swedish horror writer John Ajvide Lindqvist, this chilling coming of age story breathes new life into a tired vampire genre. It's the early 1980s in the Stockholm suburb of Blackeburg and a life-changing friendship is struck between lonely 12-year-old Oskar (Hedebrant) and pale newcomer Eli (Leandersson). A work of nuance, sophistication and calmness – the blood soaked poetry of which is not easy to forget. View full details
3 Jun 7.45pm	Glasgow Film Theatre, Glasgow

The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou
Date	Location
Anderson's fourth film is part high seas adventure, part film industry satire, part existential meditation on the meaning of relationships. It is consistently clever and hilarious, shifting from the light-hearted to the surreal, to scenes of real depth with the kind of ease we've come to expect from the Texan director. Bill Murray heads an eccentric, often brilliant cast, as ageing oceanographer and filmmaker Steve Zissou. No one likes his films any more and his life is falling apart around… View full details
31 May 9pm	Cameo, Edinburgh

The Man Who Fell to Earth
Date	Location
An alien searching for the water needed to save his own planet has his powers destroyed by the sinister machinations of a multinational business enterprise. A well cast Bowie gives perhaps his best performance in this dazzling, occasionally obtuse, piece of Roegian sci-fi. View full details

Monsieur Lazhar
Date	Location
When a popular teacher in a Montreal school commits suicide, Algerian immigrant Bachir Lazhar (Fellag) replaces her, but the grieving pupils don't suspect his own struggles with family tragedy and imminent deportation. Director Falardeau's sensitive approach, and beguiling performances from Fellag and the children, have earned an Oscar nomination. An unexpected charmer. View full details

Night of the Living Dead
Date	Location
Seminal black comedy shocker which spawned two increasingly nasty sequels and countless unauthorised imitations. A group of people barricade themselves into a farmhouse to seek refuge from the hordes of flesh-crazy undead, created by misfiring military experiments. Filmed on a shoestring in Pittsburgh, real gore was supplied by a local butcher. Though it now seems dated, the rough and grainy qualities of the film only serve to make it more horribly convincing.

5 Jun 6pm	Glasgow Film Theatre, Glasgow

Puss in Boots
Date	Location
Puss (Banderas) and Humpty Dumpty (Galifianakis) attempt to steal magic beans from Jack and Jill, with Hayek as feline accomplice Kitty Softpaws. Given the slackening quality of the Shrek franchise, the surprise is that this imaginative romp was one of the 2011's best animated family films. View full details

In pre-WWII Le Havre, army deserter Jean (Gabin) tries to protect beautiful Nelly (Morgan) from a gang of small-time hoods.

Cracking autobiographical teen fantasy (written by 'Knocked Up' star Seth Rogen) that harks back to the glory days of 'Risky Business' and 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off'.

Wendy and Lucy
Date	Location
Twentysomething Wendy (Williams) and her dog Lucy embark on a cross-country road trip from Indiana to find temporary work in a fishing cannery in Alaska. Williams' waif-like physique entirely inhabits the role of Wendy, and through very little dialogue she delivers a pitch performance full of resilience and stoicism.

East is East writer Ayub Khan-Din adapts his own play (itself based on a story by Bill Naughton) about a British-Asian newly-married couple (Ritchie, Karan) whose intrusive family continually hinders them from having sex for the first time. Despite some unnecessary backstory it's sweet-natured and funny, with excellent performances. View full details

American Reunion
Date	Location
The American Pie gang have a 13-year reunion and contemplate some familiar problems about love, sex and intimacy. A fun nostalgia trip that rates the heart as important as the other bodily parts; the original cast are as likable (or not) as ever. Nothing very revelatory but plenty of laughs. View full details

An American Tail
Date	Location
In the late 19th century, the Mousekewitz family makes its way from trouble-torn Russia to a new life in America, but they find the streets of New York are not all paved with gold. A wealth of background detail displays Bluth's admirably painstaking approach to animation, but the foreground narrative, often agreeably perilous, does occasionally reek of sentimentality.

16 Jun 11.30am	Glasgow Film Theatre, Glasgow

Angèle and Tony (Angèle et Tony)
Date	Location
Angèle (Hesme) starts a relationship with fisherman Tony (Gadebois) as a result of a personal ad; it seems doomed from the start, but a connection of sorts develops. Hesme and Gadebois are very good in Delaporte's debut feature, a beguiling and slow-moving story set in a remote Normandy fishing village. View full details

Being Elmo: A Puppeteer's Journey
Date	Location
Documentary on Sesame Street's almost-too-adorable scarlet fuzzball Elmo, and the likable and driven puppeteer Kevin Clash who turned him from a minor character into a breakout phenomenon. Although not especially deep, it has great charm and some interesting insights into the extraordinary Henson universe. View full details

Bel Ami
Date	Location
Georges Duroy (Pattinson) is a young man who gains social and financial advancement via his irresistibility to women, but he has trouble securing professional credibility. Donnellan and Ormerod draw decent performances from their stars but despite an interesting premise, the film can't quite choose whether it's angsty or mocking. View full details
4 Jun 10.30am	Cineworld Enfield, Enfield

Beloved (Les bien-aimés)
Date	Location
Elegiac musical contrasting the lives of Madeleine (Sagnier and Deneuve as younger and older incarnations) and her daughter Vera (Mastroianni), who were young in the 60s and the early 21st century respectively. A sprawling, poignant, ambitious epic of unrequited love. View full details

Contagion
Date	Location
Soderbergh revives the type of all-star disaster movie last seen in the 1970s with this sober account of a deadly virus which threatens the world's population. It lacks any central heart or focus, focusing on the bigger picture rather than clichéd dramatics. View full details

The Crazies

Damsels in Distress
Date	Location
The titular damsels are a group of female undergrads led by the obsessive-compulsive Violet (Gerwig, good) who set about rescuing their fellow students from perceived ills. It's good to have director Stillman back after 14 years, even if the pointed wit has been replaced by studied silliness. View full details

Dark Shadows
Date	Location
18th century vampire Barnabas Collins (Depp) escapes from his coffin to find himself in Maine in 1972. It's fun, thanks to a smart script and plenty of surreal humour; Burton regulars Depp and Bonham-Carter are a hoot, but Moretz and Green could have used more restraint. View full details

Delicacy (La délicatesse)
Date	Location
Recently widowed Nathalie (Tautou) contemplates a union with clumsy workmate Markus (Damiens). Perhaps only French cinema values beauty so highly that an entire film can be drawn out of the prospect of a not-that-good-looking man getting it on with Audrey Tautou; despite considerable charm, there’s little else to hold on to.

The Dictator
Date	Location
Admiral General Aladeen (Cohen) is the titular dictator: a sexist, racist, fascist pig with a penchant for execution, who during a trip to the UN is betrayed by his right-hand man (Kingsley). The jokes come thick, fast and obvious but despite moments of solid satire it feels a bit stale. View full details

Even the Rain
Date	Location
Film director Sebastian (Bernal, bland) arrives in Bolivia to make an epic on the life of Columbus, but is so focused on history that he fails to appreciate present injustices. Laverty and Bolain's well-intentioned drama is heavy-handed, but there are enough touching moments to make it worthwhile. View full details

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
Date	Location
Oskar (Horn) is a precocious youngster whose father (Hanks) died in the 9/11 attacks; he finds a mysterious key and tries to discover where it fits. Despite radiant cinematography and a striking performance from Horn, it's a contrived tearjerker that is neither as poignant nor as profound as it might like to be. View full details

Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Date	Location
A sunny spring day in Chicago is far too good to spend locked in a classroom so the irrepressible Ferris Bueller feigns a malady, cuts classes and promises his two best friends a day to remember. Characteristically Hughes teen comedy that scores with fresh dialogue and appealing characterisations, but has the drawback of some laboured farce and a misguided tendency to make meaningful statements. View full details
4 Jun 8pm	Odeon Manchester, Manchester

Free Men (Les hommes libres)
Date	Location
Younes (Rahim) is a young Algerian working in WW II Paris when the Germans enter; the authorities give him the choice between prison, or spying on a mosque suspected of smuggling out Jews disguised as Muslims. Ferroukhi's film is worthy, but lacks dramatic tension and a properly fleshed-out protagonist. View full details

How I Spent My Summer Vacation
Date	Location
A nameless crook (Gibson) crashes his car and is thrown into the sordid Tijuana prison El Pueblito. Star and co-writer Gibson revels in an enjoyable, controversy-free action-comedy with the zing of Lethal Weapon, that even the most ardent Mel-hater would find hard to dislike. View full details

Invictus
Date	Location
Based on a book by John Carlin, Invictus recounts how Nelson Mandela pulled off the political masterstroke of uniting a racially and economically divided South Africa in support of national rugby team the Springboks, once a symbol of Boer-ish oppression. This has a predictable trajectory but one leavened by minute details about the tedium of governance, ingrained prejudices and a belief that hope will always spring eternal. View full details
23 Jul 7.45pm	Mugdock Country Park, Milngavie

Jeff, Who Lives At Home
Date	Location
Jeff (Segel) is a sweet-natured thirtyish loser whose brother Pat (Helms) ropes him into tracking Pat's possibly adulterous wife (Greer). Diversion (rather than hilarity) ensues, and the film's tendency to elevate Jeff's charming hopelessness over the values of those awful people with jobs and families feels somewhat disingenuous and pandering.

Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'hoole
Date	Location
Off-kilter and inept owlimation from 300 director Snyder featuring Sturgess and Kwanten as young owlets kidnapped and pressed into service as soldiers, who attempt to seek out the mythic guardians of Ga'hoole and defeat the nefarious Metalbeak. View full details

The Lion King
Date	Location
The first Disney animated feature to be based on an original story rather than a traditional folk or fairy tale, The Lion King retains all of the studio's markers: impeccable animation, jolly songs, colourful characters and a strong moral guideline. Solid family fare. View full details
2 Jun–3 Jun Sat & Sun 10.30am	Grosvenor Cinema, Glasgow

Man on a Ledge
Date	Location
A disgraced former cop (Worthington) threatens to jump from a Manhattan rooftop, but it becomes clear to a police psychologist (Banks) that it's a distraction from a heist across the street. Leth nicely balances action, drama and humour, and a strong cast (notably Bell) lend more quality to the film than it probably deserves. View full details
31 May 10.30am	Odeon Mansfield, Mansfield

Marley
Date	Location
Kevin Macdonald's documentary chronicles the rise of Bob Marley, the first musical superstar from the developing countries to gain a global audience. With many archival treasures, the result is a comprehensive portrait but it's overly reverential and the interviews could have delved a little deeper. View full details

Martha Marcy May Marlene
Date	Location
A young woman (Olsen) returns to the house of her sister (Paulson) after two years as a cult member. Olsen is breathtaking, but although Durkin is to be applauded for avoiding melodrama and pat resolutions, the film lacks intensity and could have used a little more narrative meat on its bones.

Date	Location
When 12-year-old orphan Sam (Gilman) convinces Suzy (Hayward) to run away with him, her parents (Murray, McDormand), the local scoutmaster (Norton), sheriff (Willis) and Social Services (Swinton) are soon in pursuit. Anderson's new movie will delight his fans; others may consider it overlong, whimsical and emotionally lightweight. View full details

Mr Popper's Penguins
Date	Location
Family comedy starring Carrey as Mr Popper, a humourless businessman who inherits six penguins. The penguins turn his posh New York apartment into a winter wonderland and they change his life in ways he never imagined. This likeable adaptation of popular book was controversially filmed on a refrigerated sound stage with real Emperor Penguins. View full details

The Muppets
Date	Location
When Muppet fans Gary (Segel), his girlfriend Mary (Adams) and brother Walter (a puppet) learn that oil millionaire Tex Richman (Cooper) plans to demolish the Muppet theatre, it's time to reunite the original cast. If the plot could be fresher, the well-chosen guest stars, self-referential humour and old-school bonhomie should raise a smile. View full details

A Night To Remember
Date	Location
Before James Cameron's Titanic, there was this British version of the sinking. It's more obviously studio-bound than Hollywood's effects-laden spectacular, but has plenty of excitement in a stiff-upper-lip sort of way. And you care more for the characters. And note that Cameron lifted scenes almost wholly intact. View full details
2 Sep–3 Sep Mon 11am; Sun 2.30pm	The Hippodrome, Bo'ness

1 Day
Date	Location
Well-meaning and yet fresh, that this 'hip-hop musical' plays so well is largely down to the courageous and painstakingly observed realism of writer/director Woolcock. The stylised action that at times risks drowning out the sobering message is also what makes the exuberant musical scenes flow, and the whole package does an important job in giving a voice to a disenfranchised sector of society.

The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists
Date	Location
An inept pirate captain (Grant) attempts to win Pirate of the Year competition with the help of a young Charles Darwin (Tennant). Aardman's humour sometimes seems dated but Grant is pleasing, the visuals are enchanting, Staunton's Queen Victoria is a riot and there's much for the whole family to treasure. View full details

Polisse
Date	Location
Sprawling ensemble drama about the daily routines of a Child Protection Unit of the Paris police. There are strong performances and writer/director Maiwenn conveys a powerful sense of naturalism – except for her credibility-stretching decision to cast herself as a glamorous civilian photographer who gets involved with a cop.
