What are these?

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.
10 Oct–16 Oct 11.20am	Odeon Dundee, Dundee

The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas
Date	Location
Bruno (Butterfield) is the nine-year old son of a Nazi Commandant (Thewlis). When his father is seconded to manage a concentration camp, the lonely Bruno makes a new friend, Schmuel (Scanlon), beyond the high wire. Badly acted and clumsily directed, this liberal-guilt-monger-sweeping-cod-historical-nonsense is simply unnecessary.
10 Oct–16 Oct 1.15, 3.20, 5.45 & 8.00; Fri & Sat 1.15, 3.20, 5.45, 8.00 & 10.45	Odeon Dundee, Dundee

Brideshead Revisited
Date	Location
Jarrold's revamp of Evelyn Waugh's classic novel pares back the opulent trimmings of the television series to expose the bare bones of Waugh's lament for the civilised past. Charting blithe social climber Charles Ryder (Goode) on his journey from humble Paddington digs to the aristocratic arcadia, the film focuses on his halting love affair with prim posho Julia (Atwell).

Brideshead Revisited (Subtitled)
Date	Location
Jarrold's new adaptation of the Evelyn Waugh novel aims to put its own stamp on the classic tale of social ambition, desire and the weight of religious conviction.

City of Ember
Date	Location

14 Oct Tue 12.00	Odeon Dundee, Dundee

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. Psychotic, chaos-loving clown The Joker (Ledger) is introduced as the dark knight's ultimate nemesis and a thrilling battle slowly terrorises the populace of Gotham.
10 Oct–16 Oct 12.30	Odeon Dundee, Dundee

Death Race
Date	Location
Rehashed elements from Roger Corman's 70s 'Death Race 2000' with Statham as Jensen Ames, who is forced by prison warden Hennessey (Allen) to take part in a three stage Death Race on pay-per-view television. The chase sequences are satisfying and Allen clearly enjoys some action-movie slumming, director Anderson's reboot is predictably stripped of the anarchic humour and political sideswipes of the original.
10 Oct–16 Oct 8.30; Fri & Sat 8.30 & 11.00	Cineworld Dundee, Dundee

Disaster Movie
Date	Location
New spoof comedy from the 'Epic Movie'/'Meet the Spartans' folk. Blockbuster flicks as diverse as the Indiana Jones franchise, 'Iron Man' and 'High School Musical' get lampooned to tedious effect.
10 Oct–16 Oct 10.55am	Odeon Dundee, Dundee

Discovery Film Festival
Date	Location

A programme of films that switches between silent films and imageless sound. Featuring Saul Levine's 'Light Lick Series: Get It While You Can', John Du Cane's 'Lenseless' and Toshiya Tsunoda's 'Unstable Contact'.'Part of Kill Your Timid Notion'.
12 Oct Sun 4.15	Dundee Contemporary Arts, Dundee

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.
14 Oct Tue 8.40	Odeon Dundee, Dundee

The House Bunny
Date	Location
Predictably pitiful comedy about a recently unemployed 'Playboy' mansion bunny (Farris) who goes to college. Formulaic 'Legally Blonde'ish slapstick which still manages to raise a few laughs.
10 Oct–16 Oct 10.45am, 1.00, 3.30, 6.00 & 8.30; Fri & Sat 10.45am, 1.00, 3.30, 6.00, 8.30 & 10.45	Odeon Dundee, Dundee

How to Lose Friends and Alienate People
Date	Location
Toby Young's semi-scandalous memoir about the period the gobby English journo spent carousing with the rich and famous while working at a glossy magazine in New York is given a mainstream movie makeover with this enjoyable enough romantic comedy. Young's rudely confessional and frequently very funny observations are now framed by a bland will-they-won't-they love story that sadly drowns every last scrap of satirical stab.
10 Oct–16 Oct 3.45 & 6.10; Fri & Sat 3.45, 6.10 & 11.00	Odeon Dundee, Dundee
10 Oct–16 Oct 4.00, 6.25 & 8.55; Fri & Sat 4.00, 6.25, 8.55 & 11.25	Cineworld Dundee, Dundee

Journey To The Center of The Earth
Date	Location
Enjoyably silly adventure based on the classic Jules Verne novel starring Fraser ('The Mummy') as a science professor whose renegade theories are held in contempt by the academic community. On an expedition in Iceland, he stumbles upon a discovery that is to be the beginning of his journey deep beneath the Earth's surface.
10 Oct–16 Oct 11.00am	Odeon Dundee, Dundee

Mamma Mia!
Date	Location
A bride-to-be tries to find out the identity of her real father in the lead up to her wedding on a Greek island. Depressingly faithful film adaptation of abominable Broadway and West End ABBA song musical mega hit. The popularity of films like this certainly make one wonder about the rampancy of mental illness in our culture.

Mamma Mia! (Sing-a-Long)
Date	Location
A bride-to-be tries to find out the identity of her real father in the lead up to her wedding on a Greek island. Depressingly faithful film adaptation of abominable Broadway and West End ABBA song musical mega hit. The popularity of films like this certainly make one wonder about the rampancy of mental illness in our culture. With subtitled song lyrics to keep your audience participation word-perfect.

Mutant Chronicles
Date	Location
Major Mitch Hunter (Jane) leads a war against an army of necro-mutants. Impressively dark and odd horror sci-fi adventure co-starring 'Hellboy''s Ron Perlman. Minor cult status of minor franchise series beckons.
10 Oct–16 Oct 5.45 & 8.40; Fri & Sat 5.45, 8.40 & 11.10	Odeon Dundee, Dundee

Nights in Rodanthe
Date	Location
Unhappily married Adrienne (Lane) and an emotionally confused doctor (Gere) are drawn together when a storm closes in on the North Carolina hotel. Schmaltzy, dreary and tedious second-chance romancer based on a novel by Nicholas Sparks.
10 Oct–16 Oct 3.45, 6.10 & 8.35	Odeon Dundee, Dundee

Psycho
Date	Location
Hitch's misogynistic masterpiece has a young secretary take off to hicksville with a bagful of her boss' money. Unfortunately for her, she chooses to put up at the Bates' Motel, run by that nice Norman boy. The ironic dialogue ('Mother's not quite herself today') make it a joy to catch any time around. We liked it, didn't we mother . . . mother?
14 Oct Tue 6.00	Dundee Contemporary Arts, Dundee

Sonic Landscapes
Date	Location

Space Chimps
Date	Location
On the whim of a sinister senator (Tucci), Ham III (Samberg) - the circus performer grandson of one of the first chimpanzees in space is sent into orbit to retrieve a missing satellite. With endless monkey and banana puns and bog-standard animation, 'Space Chimps' is strictly for easily pleased little monkeys.
10 Oct–16 Oct 11.15am & 1.10	Cineworld Dundee, Dundee

Star Wars: Clone Wars
Date	Location
Emperor Palpatine, Count Dooku and General Grievous are poised to rule the galaxy. The universe rests in the hands of the daring Jedi Knights, led by Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, along with brand-new heroes such as Anakin's padawan learner, Ahsoka. Like the more recent 'Star Wars' films, this is fairly tedious stuff, but it is nicely animated and fans will probably love it.
10 Oct–16 Oct 11.05am & 1.10	Odeon Dundee, Dundee

The Stone of Destiny
Date	Location
Smith's hysterical, historical heist film gets a Scotland-only release. Cox plays Ian Hamilton, a student who sets out to liberate the Stone of Destiny from Westminster Abbey and bring in back to Scotland. A cinematic non-event, devoid of thrills, excitement and even common sense.
10 Oct–16 Oct 11.30am, 1.50, 4.10, 6.30 & 8.50; Fri & Sat 11.30am, 1.50, 4.10, 6.30, 8.50 & 11.10	Cineworld Dundee, Dundee

Taken
Date	Location
Retired US secret agent operative Bryan (Neeson) steps into fray when his daughter Kim (Grace), with his ex-wife (Janssen), is 'taken' by sex traffickers on a trip to Paris. A high octane, blood thumping update of Paul Schrader's 1979 'Hardcore' is every bit as ridiculous as it sounds but no less enjoyable for it, with Francophile attitude, Chekhovian familial regret, over the top torture and not a fundamentalist Muslim in sight.
10 Oct–16 Oct 2.50, 4.55, 7.00 & 9.10; Fri & Sat 2.50, 4.55, 7.00, 9.10 & 11.30	Cineworld Dundee, Dundee

Tropic Thunder
Date	Location
While filming a war movie, three Hollywood actors become embroiled with a heroin cartel run by a tyrannical 12-year-old (Brandon Soo Hoo) and are forced to become the soldiers they are portraying. Like Stiller's previous directorial efforts, 'Tropic Thunder' looks like it has been plotted by a child simpleton but most of the time you'll be laughing too hard to notice, or care.
10 Oct–16 Oct 1.30, 3.50, 6.10 & 8.40; Sat 1.30, 8.40 & 11.05; Mon 1.30, 3.50 & 8.40; Fri 1.30, 3.50, 6.10, 8.40 & 11.05	Cineworld Dundee, Dundee

WALL-E
Date	Location
Inspired by sci-fi classics from the 1960s and 70s, Pixar have created a post-apocalyptic story set in a future in which the Earth has been abandoned by humankind, where a solitary robot named WALL-E executes his now pointless trash collecting programme. At its heart this is a very sweet romantic comedy, and that's what provides the emotional clout.
