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.
22 Aug–28 Aug 12.50 Cineworld Edinburgh, Edinburgh
Brief Encounter
Date Location
Stiff upper lips and emotionally charged brushes of the hands are all that Johnson and Howard will allow themselves as their extra-marital 'affair' doesn't develop much beyond unspoken longings at a railway station. For some, the tears will still flow; for others, the ungiving morality is exasperating. Given the rigidity of this English romance, the Rachmaninov soundtrack is unfittingly sweet.
22 Aug Fri 5.15 Filmhouse, Edinburgh
College Road Trip
Date Location
Kumble's family-comedy-drama focuses on trust issues between high-flying teen Melanie (Raven-Symone) and her over-protective father (Lawrence). When Melanie decides she wants to check out the universities in which she might pursue her academic career, Porter decides to be her an uninvited escort, provoking predictable father-daughter disagreements and leading to obvious resolutions.

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.

The Flight of the Red Balloon
Date Location
Suzanne (Binoche), a busy puppeteer, hires Song (Song), a Chinese film student, to look after her young son. Hsiao-Hsien's film intricately weaves together compassionate insights into the pressures felt by a single parent with studious examinations of the methods of storytelling. Partly inspired by Albert Lamorisse's warming Parisian short 'The Red Balloon', Hsiao-Hsien's narrative ultimately draws a particularly fine portrait of the French capital.
22 Aug–28 Aug Fri & Sat 12.50; Mon–Thu 1.20 Cameo, Edinburgh
Get Smart
Date Location
Segal's tent-pole blockbuster revamp of 1960's spy spoof 'Get Smart' features Carell as an over-prepared secret agent whose clumsiness often leads to the apprehension of enemy spies. Given his chance to shine, Smart is sent to Moscow where he elicits the support of co-spy Agent 99 (Hathaway) as they attempt to thwart the terrorist schemes of KAOS megalomaniac Siegfried (Stamp).

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.
22 Aug–27 Aug Fri, Sat & Wed 11.00 Vue Edinburgh Omni, Edinburgh
Hellboy II: The Golden Army
Date Location
Guillermo del Toro returns to Hollywood with a second blockbuster adaptation of Dark Horse Comics' cult supernatural title. A new storyline pits the hell-spawned hero against a mighty mechanised legion of unstoppable warriors. The sequel has more of everything ? monsters, action, humour, character development, supporting cast and mythology ? but it suffers from an overabundance of riches.

I Live In Fear
Date Location
Very fine early Kurosawa movie, made between 'Seven Samurai' and 'Throne Of Blood', 'I Live in Fear' tells the intimate story of a Tokyo family facing the threat of nuclear war. The father (Mifune, uncomfortably playing a character twice his age) wants to emigrate to a farm in Brazil, his family don't want to and try to have him incarcerated. This is a little nugget of a movie, a time capsule from the Atomic Age.
22 Aug–23 Aug Fri 9.00; Sat 3.30 Filmhouse, Edinburgh
Killer of Sheep
Date Location
Charles Burnett's seminal 1977 ultra naturalistic portrayal of urban African-American life gets a very welcome re-release. See where latter day auteur David Gordon Greene ('George Washington', 'All the Real Girls', the forthcoming 'Pineapple Express') stole all his ideas from.

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'.

Man on Wire
Date Location

Date Location
London governess Miss Pettigrew (McDormand) has just lost another job. Dumped by her agency, Miss Pettigrew manages to worm her way into the house of American wannabe starlet Delysia (Adams).

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
Date Location
Chunky old-fashioned explorer Rick O'Connell (Fraser) returns, and this time he's off to check out the catacombs of ancient China. This risible third installment of hearty adventure franchise is awash with bad CGI effects, infantile humour and sloppy performances. This is pure cheeseball. Unless you've had a lobotomy avoid.

Ran
Date Location
Kurosawa's 'King Lear' is a bleak and despairing vision of mankind torn apart by disunity, personal vengeances and family feuds that produce no honour, no victors, just victims. An accomplished fusion of Japanese history and blood-drenched Shakespearean drama, this film grows more impressive with repeated viewings.
22 Aug–23 Aug Fri 2.00; Sat 4.30 Filmhouse, Edinburgh
The Red Desert (Il Deserto Rosso)
Date Location
A woman who has recently suffered a nervous breakdown begins a tentative affair with a friend of her husband. Antonioni uses muted colours and an industrial landscape to magnificent effect, as Vitti's fraught heroine becomes dislocated and menaced by her surroundings. A masterpiece of cinema as art.
22 Aug Fri 1.15 & 6.00 Filmhouse, Edinburgh
Seven Samurai
Date Location
A group of timid villagers seek protection against the excesses of a brutal warlord by hiring seven heroic samurai. Seminal Japanese action picture, with a slow-building dignity matching the best of John Ford, and in its stylishly aesthetic handling of screen violence, a profound influence on everyone from Peckinpah to Eastwood. Highly recommended.
22 Aug Fri 7.15 Filmhouse, Edinburgh
