The Accidental Husband (Senior Screening)
Date Location
Talk radio host Emma Lloyd (Thurman) advises one of her listeners to dump her fireman fiancée days before their wedding. Jilted ex Patrick (Morgan) decides to get his revenge on the radio host and her posh, dull husband-to-be Richard (Firth) with comic and romantic results. Solid, likeably old-fashioned romantic comedy with decent performances and a simple predictable script that never overreaches itself.

Bhoothnath
Date Location
Bollywood presentation.
16 May–21 May 7.40; Sat & Sun 7.40 & 10.40 Cineworld Edinburgh, Edinburgh
Caramel
Date Location
Charming, bitter-sweet debut feature from writer-director Labaki that centres upon the 'Si Belle' beauty parlour in the Lebanese capital and the dramas of the female clientele. The film is impressively acted by a mostly non-professional cast. While there are no references to the on-going strife in Lebanon, this is still a political film, and a tender tribute to female solidarity.
16 May–22 May 12.45, 3.10, 5.35 & 8.05; Fri & Sat 12.45, 3.10, 5.35, 8.05 & 10.30 Cineworld Edinburgh, Edinburgh

Charlie Bartlett
Date Location
Charlie's a joker who manufactures fake IDs and deals his prescribed anti-depression drugs to his classmates, craving popularity to compensate for a fractured family life. Whilst robbed of any wider social resonance, this is an amusing enough take on the agonies of youth, and 'Charlie Bartlett' deserves a B+ for effort.
16 May–22 May 1.15, 3.40, 6.05 & 8.40; Fri & Sat 1.15, 3.40, 6.05, 8.40, 11.00 & 11.10 Cineworld Edinburgh, Edinburgh

Daddy Day Camp
Date Location
Unloveable sequel to the equally unlovable 'Daddy Day Care' which hails a new low in Gooding's career. Crude and sentimental, the film relies on bodily-fluid gags that fall well short of the barely-raised bar established by kiddie pratfall comedies such as 'Cheaper by the Dozen'.
17 May–18 May Sat & Sun 10.00am 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
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
16 May–21 May 12.50, 3.30, 6.10 & 8.50; Fri & Sat 12.50, 3.30, 6.10, 8.50 & 11.25 Cineworld Edinburgh, 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
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.
16 May–21 May 1.00, 3.40, 6.25 & 9.10 Cineworld Edinburgh, Edinburgh

Date Location

20 May–21 May Tue & Wed 9.00 Cameo, Edinburgh
Funny Games
Date Location
A wealthy family are subjected to an increasingly horrific series of 'games' by two young men, beginning with humiliation and ending in torture and murder. The horror-thriller set up seems familiar, but 'Funny Games' is one of the most innovative and shocking films to reach our screens this decade. Chilling, calculated, cerebral, brilliant.
16 May–22 May 1.15; Fri & Sat 1.15 & 11.30 Cameo, Edinburgh
Grindhouse
Date Location
Tarantino and Rodriguez's salute to the 1970s exploitation movie focuses on an ex-stripper with a grenade launcher-equipped machine gun leg, who meets and greets a troop of flesh eating mutating zombies. Taking a step down in tone, Tarantino's 'Death Proof' traces two groups of women tied together only by the presence of a lunatic ex-Hollywood stuntman. Complete with the original imaginary trailers, this 'double feature' offers the 'Grindhouse' package up on one deliciously cultish plate.
18 May Sun 1.30 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.
16 May–22 May 6.20 Cameo, Edinburgh
Heartbeat Detector
Date Location
This French corporate thriller adapted from François Emmanuel's novel 'La Question Humaine' is demanding and rewarding in equal measure. Amalric is the psychologist of a German-French petrochemical company who's asked to discretely assess the mental state of the Paris office's CEO (Lonsdale) until disturbing links between his firm and the Nazis start to take their toll. A beautifully executed and horribly convincing film.
16 May–22 May 1.50, 5.50 & 8.50 Cameo, 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.
16 May–21 May 11.50am, 2.10 & 4.20; Fri & Wed 2.10 & 4.20 Vue Edinburgh Ocean, Edinburgh
17 May–19 May Sat–Mon 12.45 Odeon Wester Hailes, 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.
16 May–21 May 3.20, 5.55 & 8.35; Wed 3.20 & 5.55 Cineworld Edinburgh, Edinburgh

Into the Wild (Senior Screening)
Date Location
Robust yet freewheeling adaptation of John Krakauer's non-fiction book about the extraordinary experiences of young American college graduate and society dropout Christopher McCandless (Hirsch), who traded his privileged future for a life on the road. Penn's portrait of McCandless' travels is a poetic and romanticised one, beautifully photographed by French cinematographer Eric Gautier and unspooling as a series of largely life-affirming encounters with nature and fellow travellers.
21 May Wed 11.30am 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.
16 May–22 May 11.30am, 1.20, 2.30, 4.20, 5.30, 7.50 & 8.45; Fri & Sat 11.30am, 1.20, 2.30, 4.20, 5.30, 7.50, 8.45 & 10.45; Thu 11.30am, 2.30, 5.30 & 8.45 Cineworld Edinburgh, Edinburgh

Made of Honour
Date Location
Tom (Dempsey) is a wealthy New York City playboy who only realises his best friend Hannah (Monaghan) is the love of his life when she plans to marry dashing stranger Colin (McKidd). Predictable 'ménage a trois' rom-com, which relocates to Scotland for some cultural stereotyping.
16 May–21 May 12.10, 3.00, 5.40 & 8.10 Cineworld Edinburgh, Edinburgh

The Manchurian Candidate
Date Location
In his most convincing screen role, Harvey plays a Korean war hero who is brainwashed by Communists and becomes a pawn in the sinister mission planned for his homecoming. Brilliant political satire-cum-thriller, with the cast in great form and a staggeringly inventive plot clearly and grippingly unravelled. It damn well works and surprises in a way that so few films do any more.
18 May 8.00 Scotsman Screening Room, Edinburgh
Manufactured Landscapes
Date Location
Baichwal's thoughtful documentary explores the work of the photographer Edward Burtynsky, whose large-scale colour photos examine the impact of man's industrial processes upon landscapes around the world, on a trip through Asia. This is a film which encourages the viewer to gaze at its images, and feel unsettled by its eerie beauty.
17 May–22 May Sat 3.45; Thu 9.00 Cameo, Edinburgh
The Metropolitan Opera: Puccini's La Bohème
Date Location
Join the New York Metropolitan Opera for Puccini's 'La Bohème', starring the mesmerising Angela Gheorghiu. Screened live and in high definition.

Nim's Island
Date Location
Adapted from Wendy Orr's popular book about what happens when agoraphobic authoress Alexandra Ryder (Foster) is contacted by winsome brat Nim (Breslin), whose scientist father Jack (Butler) has gone missing. Breslin and Butler adapt well to the frothy postmodern adventure but Foster's attempts at slapstick are embarrassingly crude and obvious, lessening any emotional impact.
16 May–21 May 11.00am, 1.20, 3.30 & 5.35 Cineworld Edinburgh, Edinburgh

Operation Filmmaker
Date Location
Davenport documents the fall from grace of Shi'ite film student Muthana Mohmed. Responding to an appeal made by Muthana on MTV, American director Liev Schreiber charitably took him on as an intern. The student was not, however, the hard-working left-leaning protégé who had spoken so frankly about his dreams of Hollywood, but a spoilt Bush-loving bum.
19 May Mon 6.30 Filmhouse, Edinburgh
Outpost
Date Location
Beefy mercenary DC (Stevenson) has to get shadowy businessman Hunt (Wadham) into an abandoned bunker in an Eastern European war zone and out again while dodging the undead Nazis. Filmed in Glasgow's Film City Studios and on location in Dumfries, 'Outpost' is an impressively pared down genre flick which borrows from the best. If this is your bag, you won't be disappointed.
16 May–22 May 4.00, 6.30 & 9.15; Fri & Sat 4.00, 6.30, 9.15 & 11.45 Vue Edinburgh Omni, Edinburgh
Oxford Murders
Date Location
Professor Arthur Seldom (John Hurt) and student Martin (Wood) simultaneously discover the body of an old lady (Massey) and become entangled in solving an elaborate puzzle of strange deaths. This Mexican/Spanish but essentially English crime tale plays like an episode of 'Midsomer Murders' (albeit it a particularly good one), with absorbing plot and quality performances leading to the far from obvious dénouement.
16 May–21 May 8.30 Odeon, Edinburgh
Persepolis
Date Location
This adaptation of Satrapi's autobiographical coming-of-age graphic novel is an exceptionally moving piece of animated filmmaking. Chronicling the liberal outlook of young Iranian Marji, Satrapi refreshingly manages to portray a love of Iran without being revisionist or disguising any harsh truths about the regime.

Reprise
Date Location
Using a short film of workers returning to work in the Saint Ouen Wonder Factory after the general strike of 1968 as a starting point, Le Roux obsessively tracks down the individuals involved. His furtive documentation provides an intriguing filmic platform for retrospection.
18 May Sun 2.00 Filmhouse, Edinburgh
Shutter
Date Location
Lame English language remake of the 2004 Thai horror about a photographer who discovers mysterious shadows on his snaps after witnessing a horrific accident. B-listers Jackson and Taylor star, Japanese TV director Ochiai dons the director's hat.

Smart People
Date Location
Dysfunctional American family comedy that examines the improbable rejuvenation of widowed English professor Lawrence Wetherhold (Quaid). Contemptuous, irascible, narcissistic and detached from his children (Ashton Holmes and Ellen Page), Wetherhold's feckless adopted brother Chuck (Church) and ER doctor Janet Hartigan (Parker) attempts to rescue him from his isolation are scuppered by the lack of chemistry between the two romantic leads.

Son of Rambow
Date Location
Troubled child and wannabe filmmaker Lee Carter (Poulter) enlists Will (Milner), a member of a fundamentalist Christian Evangelical family, as a stuntman for a remake of 'Rambo: First Blood' in this patchwork of beguiling surreal comedy and eccentric but darkly pertinent family drama. An absolute joy.

Speed Racer
Date Location
A live action though CG-heavy adaptation of a 1960s Japanese television anime about a futuristic family of racecar designer-drivers who are pitted against a corporate fat cat. The film's message is: business bad, family good, winning best of all. Not that this matters in a film with migraine-inducing race sequences and stomach-churning thrill-rides.

The film's message is: business bad, family good, winning best of all. Not that this matters in a film with migraine-inducing race sequences and stomach-churning thrill-rides.

There Will Be Blood
Date Location
Silver prospector Daniel Plainview (Day-Lewis) and his adopted son move to the impoverished evangelically centred town of New Boston and finds himself in a battle of wits against sleazy child preacher Eli Sunday (Dano) over oil, ethics and the American Dream. Utterly riveting and with Day Lewis playing a wonderful part with a poisonous zeal, Anderson finally returns to 'Punch Drunk Love' form.

21
Date Location
Spacey plays a professor who teaches six MIT students to card count in this heavy-handed, unfaithful adaptation of Ben Mazrich's book, which was based on the gambling exploits of card shark Jeffrey Ma. This is filmmaking by numbers and it's not a winning formula.
16 May–21 May 6.30 & 9.20 Vue Edinburgh Ocean, Edinburgh
Welcome to the Sticks
Date Location
Philippe Abrams (Merad) is sent to the town of Bergues, in the far, far north where apparently it's cold, the people are basic and they talk in an incomprehensible dialect (Ch'ti). Predictably, Bergues is not so bad. Surprisingly this middle-of-the-road farce is the most successful French movie of all time.
