Iron Sky
Date	Location
Nazis on the moon! In Finland’s first blockbuster, a US lunar expedition discovers a hidden moonbase where Nazis have been hiding since the end of WW II. Shame that Vuorensola’s flat satire and B-movie plotting don’t live up to the inspired premise. For once, a Hollywood remake might be in order. View full details

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

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

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
30 May–31 May Wed 10am, 12.40pm, 3.30pm, 6.30pm & 9.30pm; Thu 11.30am, 2.30pm, 5.30pm & 8.30pm	Vue Ocean, Edinburgh

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

Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake
Date	Location

22 Jun–24 Jun Times vary	Edinburgh, Edinburgh

The Raid
Date	Location
An Indonesian SWAT team storms a Jakarta tower block intending to take down crime lord Tama (Sahetapy), but finds itself trapped. About as good a film as you can make about men repeatedly punching each other in the face; Evans' low-budget, high-impact approach has enormous gusto and ingenuity. View full details
30 May–31 May Wed 1.15pm & 6.40pm; Thu 1.15pm	Cameo, Edinburgh

Death Watch (La mort en direct)
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 basic idea is amazingly prescient but the plot is rather preposterous; Schneider's moving performance anchors it in emotional reality. View full details

Goodbye First Love (Un amour de jeunesse)
Date	Location
Vain, drippy, lugubrious teenager Camille (Créton) falls in and out of love with dumb puppy Sullivan (Urzendowsky). Lots of nice shots of breasts and landscapes don't alter the fact that this is about unlikable people exchanging faux-profundities. Might work as aversion therapy for people who think they miss being young. View full details
25 May–31 May Fri 1.20pm, 3.30pm & 6pm; Sat & Sun 1.20pm, 3.30pm & 8.15pm; Mon & Tue 3.30pm & 6pm; Wed & Thu 3.30pm & 8.15pm	Filmhouse, Edinburgh

Two Years at Sea
Date	Location
Documentary about Jake Williams, a man living an isolated existence in northern Scotland. Rivers' debut feature has no voiceover or dialogue – there are no interviews with Williams – but with breathtaking images and a bewitching soundtrack, it's a handsome and meditative film, ultimately honest and uplifting. View full details

Beauty and the Beast
Date	Location
The first animated film ever to get an Oscar nomination for Best Picture, the 30th Walt Disney feature-length cartoon is a classic by anyone's standards.

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

The Lucky One
Date	Location
A US Marine serving in Iraq (Efron, stretching credibility) finds a photo of an unknown blonde beauty (Schilling), credits it with bringing him luck, and after returning home, sets out to find her. The latest adaptation of a Nicholas Sparks novel is schmaltzy, contrived, unconvincing and empty. View full details
30 May–31 May Wed & Thu 11.45am	Vue Omni, Edinburgh

Rowdy Rathore
Date	Location
Bollywood action film in which small time conman Shiva is subject to a series of life-threatening attacks by a gang of deadly criminals while simultaneously trying to woo a lady and deal with a six-year-old who's convinced he's her father. View full details

A Royal Affair
Date	Location
In 18th century Denmark, Johann Struensee (Mikkelsen) becomes personal physician to King Christian VII (Folsgaard); but then the unhappily married Queen Caroline (Vikander) starts cavorting with the doctor. The script is enjoyably literate and it's a welcome break from morbid Scandinavian thrillers, but the cast lacks chemistry. View full details
20 Jul–26 Jul Fri 3.15pm & 5.50pm; Sat 5.45pm & 8.10pm; Sun 3.25pm & 8.15pm; Mon 6pm & 8.20pm; Tue–Thu 2.30pm & 6pm 23 Jul (Parent & baby) 11am	Filmhouse, Edinburgh

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
1 Jun 11pm	Cameo, Edinburgh

Atletu (The Athlete)
Date	Location
This intriguing and elegant hybrid of documentary and biopic tells the inspiring story of the Ethiopian marathon runner Abebe Bikila, who in 1960 became the first African athlete to win gold at the Olympics.

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

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

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
2 Jun–5 Jun Mon, Tue, Sat & Sun 10.30am	Vue Omni, Edinburgh

The Plague of the Zombies
Date	Location
Long before Night of the Living Dead, Hammer horror made a bold move into zombie territory with this 1965 shocker. Inexplicable deaths in a Cornish village prompt a local doctor to call on his medical mentor for assistance. Professor Forbes arrives with his daughter and soon the churchyard gives up its secrets as the dead walk again at the bidding of a master with the power of voodoo at his command. View full details

Le Quai des Brumes (Port of Shadows)
Date	Location
In pre-WWII Le Havre, army deserter Jean (Gabin) tries to protect beautiful Nelly (Morgan) from a gang of small-time hoods. The great collaboration between director Carné and poet/screenwriter Prévert begins here; it's dark, bitter, fatalistic and wonderful, and has been given a meticulous and well-deserved digital restoration.

Salmon Fishing in the Yemen
Date	Location
A nerdish fisheries expert (McGregor) and a sophisticated legal aide (Blunt) are recruited by an angling-obsessed sheik (Waked) to realize the vision of the title. What worked on the page is an insubstantial muddle on film, thanks to an unfocused script and Hallström’s preference for broad emotions over subtlety and complexity. View full details
