The Raid
Date Location
(4 stars) An Indonesian SWAT team storms a Jakarta tower block intending to take down crime lord Tama (Sahetapy), but finds itself trapped. About as good a film as you can make about men repeatedly punching each other in the face; Evans' low-budget, high-impact approach has enormous gusto and ingenuity.

This Must be the Place
Date Location
(4 stars) Reclusive rock star Cheyenne (Penn) goes in search of the SS officer who humiliated his father at Auschwitz. A weird and sometimes wonderful mixture of road movie and revenge drama from the director of Il Divo, with a fearlessly idiosyncratic but endearing performance from Penn, superb visuals and a great score.

American Reunion
Date Location
(3 stars) The American Pie gang have a 13-year reunion and contemplate some familiar problems about love, sex and intimacy. A fun nostalgia trip that rates the heart as important as the other bodily parts; the original cast are as likable (or not) as ever. Nothing very revelatory but plenty of laughs.

Damsels in Distress
Date Location
(3 stars) The titular damsels are a group of female undergrads led by the obsessive-compulsive Violet (Gerwig, good) who set about rescuing their fellow students from perceived ills. It's good to have director Stillman back after 14 years, even if the pointed wit has been replaced by studied silliness.

Dark Shadows
Date Location
(3 stars) 18th century vampire Barnabas Collins (Depp) escapes from his coffin to find himself in Maine in 1972. It's fun, thanks to a smart script and plenty of surreal humour; Burton regulars Depp and Bonham-Carter are a hoot, but Moretz and Green could have used more restraint.

The Dictator
Date Location
(3 stars) Admiral General Aladeen (Cohen) is the titular dictator: a sexist, racist, fascist pig with a penchant for execution, who during a trip to the UN is betrayed by his right-hand man (Kingsley). The jokes come thick, fast and obvious but despite moments of solid satire it feels a bit stale.

Jeff, Who Lives At Home
Date Location
(3 stars) Jeff (Segel) is a sweet-natured thirtyish loser whose brother Pat (Helms) ropes him into tracking Pat's possibly adulterous wife (Greer). Diversion (rather than hilarity) ensues, and the film's tendency to elevate Jeff's charming hopelessness over the values of those awful people with jobs and families feels somewhat disingenuous and pandering.

16 Jun20 Jun Wed 7.30pm; Sat 8pm; Sun 5pm macrobert, Stirling
Marley
Date Location
(3 stars) Kevin Macdonald's documentary chronicles the rise of Bob Marley, the first musical superstar from the developing countries to gain a global audience. With many archival treasures, the result is a comprehensive portrait but it's overly reverential and the interviews could have delved a little deeper.

Mr Popper's Penguins
Date Location
(3 stars) Family comedy starring Carrey as Mr Popper, a humourless businessman who inherits six penguins. The penguins turn his posh New York apartment into a winter wonderland and they change his life in ways he never imagined. This likeable adaptation of popular book was controversially filmed on a refrigerated sound stage with real Emperor Penguins.

The Muppets
Date Location
(3 stars) When Muppet fans Gary (Segel), his girlfriend Mary (Adams) and brother Walter (a puppet) learn that oil millionaire Tex Richman (Cooper) plans to demolish the Muppet theatre, it's time to reunite the original cast. If the plot could be fresher, the well-chosen guest stars, self-referential humour and old-school bonhomie should raise a smile.

The Young Victoria
Date Location
(3 stars) Was she just another inbred royal or was she a caring monarch who loved her country as much as she loved her boring husband? These are just a few of the questions asked of Queen Victoria by Julian Fellowes in his typically expansive and witty screenplay. Produced by Scorsese and featuring the cream of British cinema, this feels like the real deal, but Vallée's ill-judged handling of the material sadly disappoints.

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
Date Location
(2 stars) Despite an irresistible army of pension-age talent including Dench, Smith and Wilkinson, all on excellent form, this story about a group of unconnected British retirees who come to the titular hotel in Jaipur and find resolution for their various issues and challenges, feels too calculated to offer anything more than disposable entertainment at best, and cheaply manipulative emotional kicks at worst.

Irvine Welsh's Ecstasy
Date Location
(2 stars) Lloyd (Sinclair) is a club-loving drug-smuggler who dumps his girlfriend (Andrup) in favour of Heather (Kreuk), but their happiness is threatened by psychotic club owner Solo (Rota). This drear, witless compilation of drug-movie clichés has no sense of time or place, and replaces Welsh's strength of detail with limp vagueness.

The Lucky One
Date Location
(2 stars) A US Marine serving in Iraq (Efron, stretching credibility) finds a photo of an unknown blonde beauty (Schilling), credits it with bringing him luck, and after returning home, sets out to find her. The latest adaptation of a Nicholas Sparks novel is schmaltzy, contrived, unconvincing and empty.

Salmon Fishing in the Yemen
Date Location
(2 stars) A nerdish fisheries expert (McGregor) and a sophisticated legal aide (Blunt) are recruited by an angling-obsessed sheik (Waked) to realize the vision of the title. What worked on the page is an insubstantial muddle on film, thanks to an unfocused script and Hallström’s preference for broad emotions over subtlety and complexity.

What to Expect When You're Expecting

(2 stars) Based on the New York Times best seller of the same name, this comedy focuses on five couples about to have children.

Outside Bet
Date Location
(1 star) Hoskins piles on the geezer as Percy 'Smudge' Smith, the head of a band of Fleet Street hacks who unwisely entrust their redundancy money to Bax (MacNab), who invests it on a racehorse. Dated misogynist comedy, bargain-basement sentimentality and glib moralising cause the film to fall at the first hurdle.
