Bhoothnath
Date Location
Bollywood presentation.

Cashback
Date Location
Ben (Biggerstaff) can't sleep since he split up with girlfriend Suzy (Ryan). Maybe Sharon (Fox) the checkout girl can help him. Writer/director Ellis' extends his 2004 award-winning short of the same name, leading to continuity anomalies and tedious padding amid the amoral ambiguity and high porn of the original, but it's fairly entertaining and soulful for its meagre budget.
9 May–15 May 9.05 Cineworld Edinburgh, Edinburgh
Dan in Real Life (Senior Screening)
Date Location
Rooted in warm, middle-class family values and about as predictable and inoffensive as a TV sitcom, 'Dan in Real Life' is the story of an advice columnist and widower (Carell) who falls in love with his brother's girlfriend (Binoche). Lead-footed and lame but mildly engaging, Carell's pleasantly effortless comedy style manages to save the film from complete mediocrity.
14 May Wed 11.30am Vue Edinburgh Ocean, Edinburgh
Dead Society
Date Location
This green anarchist film features a telephone interview with anarcho-primitivist John Zerzan who discusses his views on the earth, freeganism, self-defence, wind turbines and the state's war on our bodies.
18 May 3.00 ACE, Edinburgh
Deception
Date Location
This turgid sub-Hitchcockian nonsense features McGregor as accountant Jonathan, who is bored and lonely until he meets lawyer Wyatt (Jackman). Wyatt introduces him to the dark pleasures of a sex club called The List but Jonathan is soon over his head when he becomes the prime suspect in the disappearance of a mysterious young woman (Williams).
9 May–15 May 2.15, 5.00 & 8.15; Sat 2.15 & 8.15; Mon & Tue 5.00 & 8.15 Dominion, Edinburgh
Doomsday
Date Location
In Marshall's derivative but enjoyable dystopian fantasy, Scotland 50 years on is a no-man's land ravaged by disease, cut off from England, and presided over by gangs of cannibals. This may well provide a few guilty pleasures for jaded action fans, but non-genre fans will find this about as subtle as a nail-encrusted club in the face
9 May–15 May 12.45, 3.30, 6.15 & 9.00; Fri & Sat 12.45, 3.30, 6.15, 9.00 & 11.45 Vue Edinburgh Omni, Edinburgh

9 May–15 May 3.00, 5.45 & 8.15 Odeon Wester Hailes, Edinburgh
Doomsday (Subtitled)
Date Location
In Marshall's derivative but enjoyable dystopian fantasy, Scotland 50 years on is a no-man's land ravaged by disease, cut off from England, and presided over by gangs of cannibals. This may well provide a few guilty pleasures for jaded action fans, but non-genre fans will find this about as subtle as a nail-encrusted club in the face
12 May Mon 3.00, 5.45 & 8.15 Odeon Wester Hailes, Edinburgh
Edinburgh International Film Festival 2008
Date Location
The Festival's 62nd year is set to be an interesting one, with the dates having been moved to June for the first time. So you can attend international premieres, discussions, gala events and talks with actors, writers and directors without having to fight off the rest of Edinburgh' August crowds.
18 Jun–29 Jun (Times vary) Various Venues, Edinburgh
Even Dwarfs Started Small
Date Location
Herzog's brilliantly bizarre parable about a remote penal colony inhabited by dwarfs, who stage a revolution in the prison warden's absence. This has to be seen to be believed, unmissable.
22 May Thu 6.15 Filmhouse, Edinburgh
Fool's Gold (Gold Class)
Date Location
Witless, plodding rom-com romp that reunites 'How to Lose A Guy in Ten Days' pretty pair McConaughey and Hudson as estranged husband and wife-cum-treasure hunters on the trail of a legendary treasure ship, assisted by Sutherland's dapper billionaire and pursued by Hart's ruthless rapper-gangster. All that glitters is not gold.
9 May–15 May 4.00 & 6.40 Vue Edinburgh Omni, Edinburgh
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Date Location
Writer and star Segal is Peter Bretter, a composer who gets dumped by his soap star girlfriend Sarah Marshall (Bell). Heading to Hawaii he bumps into her and her new rock star boyfriend Aldous Snow (Brand), who steals the show in an otherwise predictable and grating romantic comedy.
9 May–15 May 1.00, 3.40, 6.25 & 9.10; Mon 1.00, 3.40 & 9.10 Cineworld Edinburgh, Edinburgh
9 May–15 May 1.00, 3.45, 6.30 & 9.15; Fri 1.00, 3.45, 6.30, 9.15 & 11.50; Sat 10.20am, 1.00, 3.45, 6.30, 9.15 & 11.50; Sun 10.20am, 1.00, 3.45, 6.30 & 9.15 Vue Edinburgh Omni, Edinburgh
9 May–15 May 1.20, 3.50, 6.30 & 9.20 Vue Edinburgh Ocean, Edinburgh

9 May–15 May 5.00 & 8.00 Odeon, Edinburgh
Funny Games US
Date Location
Shot-by-shot, English language remake of Austrian auteur Haneke's post-modern 1997 thriller 'Funny Games', relocated to the US. The tormenting of a family of three (Watts, Roth and Gearheart) by sociopaths Paul and Peter (Pitt and Corbet) while on holiday provide an interrogation of the relationship between violence and voyeurism that remains wholly engrossing and deeply shocking.
13 May–15 May Tue 3.15 & 8.45; Wed 3.15 & 5.45; Thu 3.15, 5.45 & 8.15 Filmhouse, Edinburgh
Garage
Date Location
Like Abrahamson's quirky junkie comedy 'Adam and Paul', 'Garage' is another instance of oddballs living life on the margins of Irish society, which casts stand-up comedian Shortt as village idiot gas station attendant Josie, whose attempts at relationships are painful and heart-wrenching to watch. With lofty ambitions, this sophomore effort suffers from heavy-handed dénouement at odds with its winning, smart observations and offbeat comedy.
9 May–15 May 1.25 Cameo, Edinburgh
Happy-Go-Lucky
Date Location
Leigh returns with a familiar, yet reassuringly different film, an affectionate portrait of carefree 30-something Londoner Poppy (Hawkins) and the minutiae of her everyday life. About everything and nothing, the downtime and the uptime, this is life-affirming stuff.
9 May–15 May 11.05am & 5.00 Cineworld Edinburgh, Edinburgh
9 May–15 May 1.00, 3.30, 6.00 & 8.30; Sat 6.00 & 8.40; Sun 3.00 & 8.15; Wed 1.00, 3.30 & 8.40 Filmhouse, Edinburgh
9 May–15 May 3.35 & 8.55; Fri & Sat 3.35, 8.55 & 11.40; Tue 3.35 Cameo, Edinburgh
Hold Me Tight, Let Me Go
Date Location
Longinotto turns a compassionate lens to the children at Mulberry Bush boarding school in Oxford, who have been excluded from their normal schools for extreme behaviour. This engaging study of dysfunction leaves the viewer with an overwhelming awareness of the influence held by adults when it comes to making or breaking young impressionable lives.
12 May Mon 6.15 Filmhouse, Edinburgh
Horton Hears A Who!
Date Location
Animators Blue Sky take a break from their ongoing 'Ice Age' franchise to colourfully realise the universe of Dr Seuss' text. Both Carrey and Carrell are allowed full rein for their brand of vocal mugging as co-directors Hayward and Martino skilfully guide 'Horton' towards a comforting moral about size not being all that important.
9 May–15 May 3.00; Sat & Sun 10.30am, 12.40 & 3.00 Vue Edinburgh Ocean, Edinburgh
I Love You, I Kill You
Date Location
Brandner tells the bleak tale of a small village populated by doped workers forced to run a shooting reserve for the rich. Tired of the control, a citizen breaks free and starts hunting illegally, only to find that he has quickly become the game.
13 May Tue 6.15 Filmhouse, Edinburgh
In Bruges
Date Location
Two gobby Dublin criminals bide their time in Bruges, awating instruction from their cryptic and remote gangster boss Harry. Irish playwright McDonagh, in his feature debut, which wrestles some affecting moments from demonstrative characters, nicely teases out the parallels between the trio and Beckett's Vladimir, Estragon and Godot.
9 May–15 May 12.40, 3.20, 5.55 & 8.30; Mon 12.40, 3.20 & 8.30 Cineworld Edinburgh, Edinburgh

11 May–12 May Sun 5.20; Mon 7.20 Vue Edinburgh Ocean, Edinburgh
Iron Man
Date Location
Performing a perfectly poised balancing act between taking the fantastical material seriously and treating it with a knowing sense of humour, this smart adaptation locates Tony Stark/Iron Man's story of professional irresponsibility and personal redemption firmly within the context of the war on terror. Kidnapped by Afghan insurgents, Iron Man promptly renounces arms manufacture and instead uses his super-powered outfit to right his wrongs.
9 May–15 May 11.30am, 1.20, 2.30, 4.20, 5.30, 7.40 & 8.40; Fri & Sat 11.30am, 1.20, 2.30, 4.20, 5.30, 7.40, 8.40 & 10.40 Cineworld Edinburgh, Edinburgh

9 May–15 May Fri & Wed 2.30; Sun & Thu 5.30; Mon 8.30 Odeon, Edinburgh
Joy Division
Date Location
Beautifully cut and imaginatively constructed documentary explaining the swift rise and abrupt cessation of Joy Division (and troubled singer Ian Curtis ) through rare footage, TV appearances, bootleg recordings, personal photographs and recollections. The film rubbishes the ludicrous rock'n'roll myth of 'live fast, die young' to tell the story with humour, warmth and often-painful clarity.
9 May–13 May Tue 8.55; Fri & Sat 11.45 Cameo, Edinburgh
La Scala Opera: Maria Stuarda
Date Location
Donizetti's tragic opera based on the lives of Mary Queen of Scots and her cousin Queen Elizabeth I is projected from La Scala stage to the cinema screen.
