Appaloosa
Date Location
Based on Robert B Parker's Western novel, 'Appaloosa' charts two young men's attempt to police a small town lorded-over by a rancher. The arrival of a beautiful widow complicates matters further. Traditional but powerful western which relies on narrative psychology and fine performance work rather than special effects. Following on from 2000's 'Pollock' Harris proves himself to be a more than interesting filmmaker.

Date Location
Bruno (Butterfield) is the nine-year old son of a Nazi Commandant (Thewlis). When his father is seconded to manage a concentration camp, the lonely Bruno makes a new friend, Schmuel (Scanlon), beyond the high wire. Badly acted and clumsily directed, this liberal-guilt-monger-sweeping-cod-historical-nonsense is simply unnecessary.

Jarrold's revamp of Evelyn Waugh's classic novel pares back the opulent trimmings of the television series to expose the bare bones of Waugh's lament for the civilised past.

3 Oct–9 Oct Fri & Sat 10.20am, 1.30, 4.40, 8.00 & 11.15; Sun–Thu 11.15am, 2.30, 5.45 & 9.00 Cineworld Renfrew Street, Glasgow

The Company
Date Location
A drama about the lives and loves, hopes and fears and successes and failures of a ballet company, filtered through the vision of Hollywood maverick Altman. Eschewing the melodrama and histrionics associated with film forays into the world of stage showbiz, this instead constructs a detailed portrait of the ballet world. A distinctly Altman-esque film,'The Company' is, in fact, the brainchild of Campbell. Campbell, once a student at the National School of Ballet in Canada, gets a story-writing…

Death Race
Date Location
Rehashed elements from Roger Corman's 70s 'Death Race 2000' with Statham as Jensen Ames, who is forced by prison warden Hennessey (Allen) to take part in a three stage Death Race on pay-per-view television. The chase sequences are satisfying and Allen clearly enjoys some action-movie slumming, director Anderson's reboot is predictably stripped of the anarchic humour and political sideswipes of the original.

88 Minutes
Date Location
Pacino plays Jack Gramm, a forensic scientist who finds himself framed for murder. Given 88 minutes to find the real culprit, Pacino wearily scrambles between police, suspects and a Death Row killer to prove his innocence. With a ludicrously cheesy cliffhanger climax, '88 Minutes' amounts to rank codswallop.

Exit Calm, The Sweet Leaves and Exit Music
Date Location
Over-14s show. Tipped spacey indie band from Yorkshire, who have been described by Mani as "proper fucking music".
7 Oct 7.00 ABC2, Glasgow
The Fall
Date Location
A little girl (Untaru) meets a paralysed stuntman in hospital (Pace) and the patient proceeds to relate a colourful tale, all influenced by his state of mind. As time goes by the boundaries between fiction and reality blur rather alarmingly. An extravagant, self-indulgent, amazing, eye-catching and confounding work.
3 Oct–9 Oct 12.30, 3.20, 6.30 & 9.10 Cineworld Renfrew Street, Glasgow
Female Agents
Date Location
Allegedly based on a true story: in spring 1944 Churchill oversees a suicidal sabotage and rescue mission by female members of the French Resistance - a showgirl (Gillain), an explosives expert (Déborah François), a prostitute (Depardieu), a radio operator (Maya Sansa) and their leader (Marceau). Salome is an arch stylist and copyist but beyond the handful of great performances this feels like another po-faced TV mini series: interesting but pedestrian.
7 Oct Tue 8.00 Odeon: Braehead, Renfrew
Fleeto
Date Location
Paddy Cunneen's short play, inspired by the 'Iliad', draws on contemporary Glasgow's so-called 'knife culture'. A hard-hitting contemporary re-invention of the Greek tragic form.
7 Oct–8 Oct 7.30 St Bride's Centre, Edinburgh
Fly Me to the Moon
Date Location
A 3D film describing mankind's first trip to the moon is a lively sounding prospect, and moments in Stassen's animation provide a genuine wow-factor, but such moments of poetry are fleeting and the majority of this film insanely focuses on the uninteresting plight of three houseflies who stowaway onboard.

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).
3 Oct–9 Oct 1.20 & 6.20; Sat & Sun 11.10am, 1.20 & 6.20 Vue Edinburgh Ocean, Edinburgh
3 Oct–9 Oct 7.30; Sun 2.30 Discovery Theatre, Isle Of Bute
The Glass Menagerie
Date Location
Frothy, liberal and enjoyable adaptation of Tennessee Williams' classic play stars Douglas 'gentleman caller' Jim to faded Southern belle Amanda (Lawrence). This, the first film adaptation of the play, was despised by Williams for the liberties it took with the text, most notably the ending.
7 Oct Tue 6.15 Glasgow Film Theatre, Glasgow
Good Dick
Date Location
A young girl (Palka) whiles away her time in the sprawling suburbs of Los Angeles watching pornography rented from her local video store. One of the boys that works in the store takes a shine to her and the pair enter into a sadomasochistic relationship. Beneath a seedy and disturbing exterior, this is a very sweet, very affecting and quite sophisticated film.
3 Oct–9 Oct 3.00, 5.00, 7.00 & 9.00; Sun 2.30, 4.30 & 8.30 Glasgow Film Theatre, Glasgow

Date Location

Tuesdays 10.00–2.00am The Viper Bar & Club, Glasgow
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.
3 Oct–9 Oct 7.25 Showcase Cinema, Coatbridge, Glasgow
How Ohio Pulled it Off
Date Location
A look, on the eve of America's 2008 presidential elections, at the events of GW Bush's contentious defeat of John Kerry, which all hung on the votes of Ohio.
7 Oct Tue 7.00 The Belmont, Aberdeen
How to Lose Friends and Alienate People
Date Location
Toby Young's semi-scandalous memoir about the period the gobby English journo spent carousing with the rich and famous while working at a glossy magazine in New York is given a mainstream movie makeover with this enjoyable enough romantic comedy. Young's rudely confessional and frequently very funny observations are now framed by a bland will-they-won't-they love story that sadly drowns every last scrap of satirical stab.
3 Oct–9 Oct Fri 10.55am, 3.45, 6.10, 8.45 & 11.10; Mon 10.55am, 3.45, 6.10 & 8.45; Sat 10.55am, 1.15, 6.10, 8.45 & 11.10; Tue 10.55am, 1.15, 6.10 & 8.45; Sun & Wed 10.55am, 1.15, 3.45 & 8.45; Thu 10.55am, 1.15, 3.45 & 6.10 Odeon Dundee, Dundee
