Quantum of Solace
Date Location
'Quantum of Solace' starts with a trademark action sequence involving cars burning rubber around narrow roads and then proceeds to jump from one thrill to another, while moving through locations like pages in a travel brochure. A major plus is Amalric's turn as the villain Dominic Greene, head of an organisation which exploits energy resources for financial and political gain who are behind an American approved coup in Bolivia. Although the overarching themes are intriguing, some of the plot…

Zack and Miri Make a Porno
Date Location
Rogan and Banks give ebullient performances as the auteur lovers of the title who've been best friends since school, but their shifts in a local café aren't paying the bills. They're inspired by a former classmate and a YouTube escapade to try porn with hilarious results. Great dialogue, real emotions and laugh-out-loud adult humour.

High School Musical 3: Senior Year
Date Location
This time high school seniors Troy (Efron) and Gabriella (Hudgens) prepare for separation before they head off to different colleges by staging an elaborate spring musical. Every bit as nauseating as it sounds (unless you are a child under its shamanistic powers), 'HSM 3' does, however, take advantage of the big screen format with some impressive ensemble music and dance numbers.
21 Nov–27 Nov Fri–Sun 10.45am, 11.30am, 1.00, 1.45, 4.00 & 6.20; Mon 1.00, 1.45, 4.00 & 6.20; Tue 1.45, 4.00 & 6.20; Wed & Thu 1.00 Odeon Dundee, Dundee

Burn After Reading
Date Location
Foul-mouthed CIA analyst Osbourne (Malkovich) quits his job after being demoted. Across town at Osbourne's gym, slow-witted employees Chad (Pitt) and Linda (McDormand) happen upon one of his discs.

Hunger
Date Location
In 1981 provisional IRA member Bobby Sands allowed his body to become the ultimate instrument of protest when he led the Maze prison hunger strike. Directed by Turner Prize-winning artist McQueen and written by Irish playwright Enda Walsh, 'Hunger' is the story of the last six weeks of Sands' life. A brave and unforgettable film, tinged with thematic prescience and the politics of belief.

Max Payne
Date Location
Moore's abortive fantasy-thriller exemplifies everything that is wrong with console to big-screen crossovers.

My Best Friend's Girl

Cook delivers a repugnant performance as Tank, a lothario who makes repulsing women his business, in this 1980s throwback rom-com. Charging other guys to take their girlfriends on abusive dates, Tank's life gets complicated when he falls for the girlfriend of his best friend Dustin (Biggs).

Pride and Glory
Date Location
Hackneyed New York set police procedural about a good cop Ray Tierney (Norton) torn between duty to his family (a long line of cops) and his duty to uphold the law. A top notch cast fail to bring anything to this tedious and underdeveloped thriller from writer Joe 'Smokin' Aces' Carnahan.
21 Nov–27 Dec, not Wednesdays, Thursdays 6.00 Cineworld Dundee, Dundee
Quarantine
Date Location
Grimly effective Spanish zombie movie '[REC]' gets the Hollywood treatment in this scene-by-scene remake.

Blue Velvet
Date Location
In small-town Middle America, would-be boy detective MacLachlan finds a severed ear on some waste ground. When the police shoo him away he decides to do some investigating of his own. A singular fusion of the cosy and the terrifying which blends kitsch and nightmare, B-movie detection and brutal sex to deconstruct our complacent vision of normal society. This is filmmaking of remarkable imagination and skill.

For this Manhattan-set interpretation of 'A Christmas Carol' Gervais plays middle-aged smock-wearing tooth jockey' (dentist) Bertram Pincus, a hateful runt of a man. After going into hospital for an endoscopy, Bertram starts to see dead people, one of whom, Frank (Kinnear), is about to change Bertram's life by introducing him to widower Gwen (Leoni).

Of Time And the City
Date Location
The great but religiously under-funded British filmmaker Terence Davies returns to his Liverpool home with this fascinating subjective documentary. Refusing to ever make an easy observation the film is both a testament to a troubled life and a troubled city. The elocution of bitter A-sexuality and urban displacement has rarely been better annotated.
21 Nov–26 Nov Fri & Wed 1.00 & 6.00; Sat & Sun 6.00; Mon & Tue 1.00 & 8.30 Dundee Contemporary Arts, Dundee

In northeast France, Lea (Zylberstein) has just been released from behind bars and the story follows her re-introduction into society and gradual emotional rapprochement with her sister (Scott Thomas).

Jar City

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. This screening is followed by a screening of the Pixar short 'Presto'.
21 Nov–27 Dec Sat 10.00am Cineworld Dundee, Dundee
Ghost Town (Parent & Baby Screening)

Pan's Labyrinth
Date Location

25 Nov Tue 8.45 Odeon 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.
