Mamma Mia!
Date	Location
A bride-to-be tries to find out the identity of her real father in the lead up to her wedding on a Greek island. Depressingly faithful film adaptation of abominable Broadway and West End ABBA song musical mega hit. The popularity of films like this certainly make one wonder about the rampancy of mental illness in our culture.

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.

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 11.00am, 1.30, 4.00 & 6.30; Tue & Thu 11.00am, 1.30 & 4.00	Cineworld Renfrew Street, Glasgow

Wild Child
Date	Location
This vacuous rehash of teen movie clichés presents Californian brat Poppy, a foul-mouthed and obnoxious Malibu-mite who is shipped off to a posh boarding school in England in the hope that she learn that values and price-tags are not the same thing. Another dog-eared slice of Working Title crapola aimed squarely at the dumbest of US teens.

You Don't Mess With the Zohan
Date	Location
Zohan (Sandler) is a superhuman Mossad agent who renounces violence to pursue his real dream - a new life as a NY hairdresser. As well as a Borat-style delight in his own nakedness, Zohan is characterised by his 'funny foreigner' enthusiasm for hummus, Euro-disco and Wham-era hairstyling. Sandler's latest attempt to un-stereotype himself is a tragic attempt to use outrageous comedy to smooth relationships between New York's Israeli and Palestinian communities

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).

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.

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.
22 Aug–28 Aug 10.35am, 1.10, 3.50, 6.30 & 9.10	Cineworld Parkhead, Glasgow

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'.
22 Aug–28 Aug 11.20am, 2.10 & 4.40	Showcase Cinema, Coatbridge, Glasgow
23 Aug–31 Aug Sat & Sun 1.15	IMAX Theatre, Glasgow

The Fox and the Child
Date	Location
A giggly eight-year-old French child (Noël-Bruneau) strikes up a friendship with a fox she meets on the way home from school. This marks a step forward in narrative storytelling for Jacquet, who successfully depicts the fox as a wild and uncontrolled force in a non-Disney manner. An often beguiling account of how mankind and animals can exist in harmony.
22 Aug–28 Aug 11.00am	Showcase Cinema, Coatbridge, Glasgow
23 Aug–24 Aug Sat & Sun 11.00am	Odeon At The Quay, Glasgow

Make It Happen
Date	Location
Indiana country girl Lauryn (Winstead) comes to Chicago to study dance, but when she fails the college audition she gets work in a mildly saucy nightclub instead. Tosh rites-of-passage drama from the man who brought you 'Save the Last Dance 1&2' and yes 'Step Up 1&2'.
22 Aug–28 Aug 11.00am, 1.30, 4.00, 6.20 & 8.45; Sun 4.00, 6.20 & 8.45; Mon 11.00am & 1.30	Cineworld Renfrew Street, Glasgow

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.
22 Aug–28 Aug 11.00am, 2.00, 5.00, 8.10 & 9.00; Fri & Sat 11.00am, 2.00, 5.00, 8.10, 9.00 & 11.20; Thu 11.00am, 2.00, 5.00 & 8.10	Cineworld Renfrew Street, Glasgow

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.

Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day
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). Nalluri's attempts to recreate a sparkling Mitchell Leisen style romantic comedy are undone by inferior performances and the complete predictability inherent in this kind of mentally painful experience.

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–28 Aug 9.45; Fri & Sat 9.45 & 11.55	Showcase Cinema, Coatbridge, Glasgow

Space Chimps
Date	Location
On the whim of a sinister senator (Tucci), Ham III (Samberg) - the circus performer grandson of one of the first chimpanzees in space is sent into orbit to retrieve a missing satellite. With endless monkey and banana puns and bog-standard animation, 'Space Chimps' is strictly for easily pleased little monkeys.

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.
22 Aug–28 Aug 12.10 & 2.20	Cineworld Renfrew Street, Glasgow

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.
23 Aug Sat 11.30am	Cineworld Parkhead, Glasgow

Singh is Kinng
Date	Location
Mischevious Punjabi Sikh Singh (Kumar) gets sent to Australia to bring back someone to his local village. Unfortunately the former Indian village dweller has becomes a Don of the Australian underworld and Singh has to extricate him from there. Bollywood musical .

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.

Her Name is Sabine
Date	Location
French actress Sandrine Bonnaire's impressive directorial debut proffers an intimate and poignant documentary portrait of her 38-year-old autistic sister Sabine. Whilst this film quietly expresses Bonnaire's profound love for her sibling, it also poses important broader questions about how society should care for those suffering from debilitating behavioural conditions.
22 Aug–25 Aug Fri 8.00; Sat 1.30 & 8.00; Sun 5.15; Mon 7.00	Glasgow Film Theatre, Glasgow

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.
23 Aug Sat 10.00am	Cineworld Parkhead, Glasgow

Mamma Mia! (Sing-a-Long)
Date	Location
A bride-to-be tries to find out the identity of her real father in the lead up to her wedding on a Greek island. Depressingly faithful film adaptation of abominable Broadway and West End ABBA song musical mega hit. The popularity of films like this certainly make one wonder about the rampancy of mental illness in our culture. With subtitled song lyrics to keep your audience participation word-perfect.

Nim's Island (Subtitled)
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.
23 Aug Sat 11.30am	Glasgow Film Theatre, Glasgow

Penelope
Date	Location
With her moneyed background and good sense of humour Penelope (Ricci) should have been a bit of a catch. Sadly, she has a pig's snout for a nose, and, not only do her swinish features send the boys running, they also confine her to dating the landed gentry. 'Penelope' is characterised by its subtlety, rejecting easy plot turns and 'Shrek'-esque pop culture commentary, its individuality and intelligence making it a bit of a hybrid freak.
23 Aug–24 Aug Sat & Sun 11.00am	Odeon At The Quay, Glasgow

Shoot on Sight
Date	Location
A police thriller based on the London Police's 'shoot on sight' policy intorduced due to escalating terrorist fears following the events of 7 Jul 2005.

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.
23 Aug Sat 10.00am	Cineworld Parkhead, Glasgow

The Spiderwick Chronicles
Date	Location
Upon moving into the dilapidated Spiderwick Estate, siblings Jared (Highmore), Simon (Highmore) and Mallory (Bulger) find a guide to a fantastical world of faeries and creatures in this adaptation of Holly Black and Tony DiTerlizzi's series. They must battle against Mulgarath, however, the evil shape-shifting ogre who is also after the key to the fantasyland of faeries.
