The Dark Knight
Date Location
Following on from Nolan's critically and commercially successful 'Batman Begins', this sequel promises to be bigger and possibly even better in almost every way. Inevitably, though, expect proceedings to be overshadowed by Ledger's final screen role, as Batman's (Bale) arch-nemesis The Joker.
25 Jul–31 Jul 10.00am, 12.00, 12.40, 1.20, 3.45, 4.20, 5.00, 7.20, 8.00 & 8.40; Fri & Sat 10.00am, 12.00, 12.40, 1.20, 3.45, 4.20, 5.00, 7.20, 8.00, 8.40 & 11.00; Sun 10.00am, 12.40, 1.20, 3.45, 4.20, 5.00, 7.20, 8.00 & 8.40 Vue Edinburgh Omni, Edinburgh

25 Jul–31 Jul 12.40, 4.20 & 8.00 Vue Edinburgh Omni, Edinburgh
Kung Fu Panda
Date Location
Overweight panda Po (Black) joins his heroes, the Fierce Five, in a butt-kicking adventure when the valley of peace is threatened with the return of bad kung fu master, Tai Lung (McShane). This is Dreamworks-does-manga animation, overlaid with an Eastern version of the fated place-in-the-universe style philosophy originally trademarked in 'The Lion King'.
25 Jul–31 Jul 10.35am, 2.00, 4.20 & 6.30; Sun 10.35am, 4.20 & 6.30; Mon 10.35am, 2.00 & 4.20 Cineworld Edinburgh, Edinburgh

Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging
Date Location
After 'Bend it Like Beckham', 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 Georgia Groome, who really are the age of the characters they're playing.
25 Jul–31 Jul 10.20am, 1.00, 3.20, 5.40 & 8.10; Fri & Sat 10.20am, 1.00, 3.20, 5.40, 8.10 & 10.40 Vue Edinburgh Ocean, Edinburgh

Baby Mama
Date Location
When her doctor bluntly tells her that he 'doesn't like the shape' of her uterus, Kate (Fey) engages the surrogate services of baby mama Angie Ostowist (Poehler), a trailer trash Gwen Stefani-wannabe. Each generation gets the Mary Tyler Moore it deserves; as creator and star of NBC's '30 Rock' sitcom, Fey has earned herself the right to be 2008's funny-girl.
25 Jul–31 Jul 11.45am Odeon Wester Hailes, Edinburgh
25 Jul–31 Jul 1.40, 4.10, 6.40 & 9.10 Vue Edinburgh Ocean, Edinburgh

25 Jul–31 Jul 6.45 & 9.30; Tue 9.30 Vue Edinburgh Omni, Edinburgh
Donkey Punch
Date Location
Tammi (Burley) joins her two girlfriends on a holiday in Mallorca, only to be lured onboard a luxury yacht by some unscrupulous boys. Messy drug taking, DIY porn-making and a series of violent deaths by knife, rope, flare gun and outboard motor follow. A misguided British attempt to muscle in on the already hackneyed torture-porn genre.
25 Jul–26 Jul Fri & Sat 10.40 Cineworld Edinburgh, Edinburgh
25 Jul–26 Jul Fri & Sat 11.30 Vue Edinburgh Ocean, Edinburgh
The Bank Job (Senior Screening)
Date Location
Roger 'Cocktail' Donaldson's low-key thriller uses the purportedly true story of a 70s heist, with Stratham as used-car dealer Terry, whose clean getaway is impeded by Jamaican drug-lords, seedy pornographer Lew Vogel (David Suchet) and British establishment lackey Miles Urquhart (Peter Bowles). The tension mounts but with slack scripting and a descent into cliché, the film ultimately plays out as a frustratingly lightweight game of cops and robbers.
29 Jul Tue 11.00am Odeon, Edinburgh
29 Jul Tue 11.15am Odeon Wester Hailes, Edinburgh
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.
25 Jul–31 Jul 9.50am, 10.20am, 12.20, 1.00, 3.15, 4.00, 6.00 & 9.00; Sun 9.50am, 10.20am, 12.20, 3.15, 4.00, 6.00 & 9.00 Vue Edinburgh Omni, Edinburgh

Baby Mama (Subtitled)
Date Location
When her doctor bluntly tells her that he 'doesn't like the shape' of her uterus, Kate (Fey) engages the surrogate services of baby mama Angie Ostowist (Poehler), a trailer trash Gwen Stefani-wannabe. Each generation gets the Mary Tyler Moore it deserves; as creator and star of NBC's '30 Rock' sitcom, Fey has earned herself the right to be 2008's funny-girl.

Journey To The Center of The Earth 3D
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.
25 Jul–31 Jul 12.25, 3.00, 5.40 & 8.15 Cineworld Edinburgh, Edinburgh
The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
Date Location
In the second instalment of the Narnia films, the Pevensie children are summoned back to Narnia for a slick, fast-paced romp through dark woods, underground caverns and fierce battles. With a simplistic plot, and Caspian (Barnes) reduced to a pretty face, Disney may have finally brought Narnia to the big screen, but for a real journey of the imagination, stick to the books.
25 Jul–31 Jul 10.40am Vue Edinburgh Ocean, Edinburgh
25 Jul–31 Jul 12.15 & 5.30 Odeon Wester Hailes, Edinburgh

Meet Dave
Date Location
Eddie Murphy plays Dave Ming Chang, a spaceship made in the image of its miniature-sized captain (also Murphy) who has landed on Earth on a mission to save his planet. Now, one of the least eagerly anticipated reunions in cinema history - between Murphy and director Brian Robbins ('Norbit') - invites us to Meet Dave. You really shouldn't bother.
25 Jul–31 Jul 11.15am Cineworld Edinburgh, Edinburgh
25 Jul–31 Jul 11.50am & 2.20; Wed 2.20 Vue Edinburgh Ocean, Edinburgh
25 Jul–31 Jul 8.30 Odeon Wester Hailes, Edinburgh
Hancock
Date Location
Smith plays a nihilistic superhero who has fallen out of favour with the public. Due to this scenario, 'Hancock' dangerously flirts with the status of one-joke film. Amazingly, though, Hancock is then rescued (both as a character and as a film) by PR executive Ray Embrey (Bateman), who believes he can turn Hancock's public image from zero to hero.
25 Jul–31 Jul Fri & Sat 12.15, 3.00, 5.30, 8.20 & 11.10; 12.15, 3.00, 5.30 & 8.20 Cineworld Edinburgh, Edinburgh

Date Location
The Festival's 63rd year. Programme still to be announced, see website for updates.
17 Jun 2009–28 Jun 2009 (Times vary) Various Venues, Edinburgh
The Forbidden Kingdom
Date Location
Chop-socky superstars Jackie Chan and Jet Li share the screen for the first time in this East-meets-West martial arts adventure in which a kung fu obsessed American teen makes a discovery that sends him on a quest to China to free the imprisoned Monkey King. Think 'Karate Kid' crossed with 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon'.
25 Jul–31 Jul 11.45am Cineworld Edinburgh, Edinburgh
Bra Boys
Date Location
The most commercially successful Australian documentary ever released, 'Bra Boys' offers a rare insider's glimpse into the notorious surfing tribe of south Sydney's working class beachside suburbs. Narrated by Russell Crowe.
31 Jul Thu 6.15 Filmhouse, Edinburgh
Sex and the City: The Movie (Gold Class)
Date Location
Carrie Bradshaw and the girls are back in a big screen adventure that apparently takes on such big issues as fashion, marriage and death.
25 Jul–31 Jul 2.20 & 5.30 Vue Edinburgh Omni, Edinburgh
Birdman of Alcatraz
Date Location
Frankenheimer's absorbing drama tells the true story of the redemption of a convicted killer. Robert Stroud (Lancaster, giving one of his finest performances) leaves a trail of violence and murder on his way to death row, but finds redemption when he finds a wounded sparrow and secretly nurses it back to health.
25 Jul–26 Jul Fri 6.00; Sat 4.00 Filmhouse, Edinburgh
Kismat Konnection
Date Location
Bollywood flick about life, luck and, of course, love.
27 Jul–28 Jul Sun 2.00; Mon 8.05 Cineworld Edinburgh, Edinburgh
Wanted
Date Location
Scottish comic book writer Mark Millar's ultra-violent graphic novel gets the Hollywood blockbuster treatment. Fellow Scot McAvoy takes the lead as a super-assassin inductee under the tutelage of action babe Fox (Jolie) and boss Sloan (Freeman). Toning down the comic's darker elements and ramping up the SFX, Bekmambetov's quirky stylistic excesses make up for the script's weaknesses. And McAvoy is quite convincing.
25 Jul–31 Jul 9.00 Cineworld Edinburgh, Edinburgh
The Blue Angel
Date Location
Berlin's decadent cabaret era is vibrantly brought to life as Dietrich's voluptuous singer Lola-Lola sets out to seduce and destroy a bourgeois schoolteacher. In her first major role, the actress taps into a potent current of female sexuality.
30 Jul Wed 6.00 Filmhouse, Edinburgh
The Edge of Love
Date Location
Welsh chanteuse Vera Phillips (Knightley) happens upon old lover Dylan Thomas (Rhys) who is now married to Caitlin (Miller). They become a firm threesome until Vera falls in love with young officer (Murphy) and group dynamics shift unpleasantly. Based around real events, Maybury's film is clever, funny, insightful and full of killer lines.
25 Jul–31 Jul 6.30 Cameo, Edinburgh
The Game Plan
Date Location
'The Game Plan' follows the fortunes of Elvis-obsessed American football superstar quarterback Joe Kingsman (Johnson) and his estranged eight-year old daughter (Pettis) when she enrols him in ballet school. The result is overblown and overlong, bland and formulaic, yet its earnest brand of character comedy for pre-teens pays off.
