Charlie's a joker who manufactures fake IDs and deals his prescribed anti-depression drugs to his classmates, craving popularity to compensate for a fractured family life.

In Marshall's derivative but enjoyable dystopian fantasy, Scotland 50 years on is a no-man's land ravaged by disease, cut off from England, and presided over by gangs of cannibals.

8 And A Half
Date Location
Showing in a pristine new 35mm print. Many regard this moody magnum opus as the Italian maestro's finest hour. Following a scenario not unlike the one that faced Fellini himself when he was under pressure to come up with a sequel to the massive international success of 'La Dolce Vita', Mastroianni plays a filmmaker plagued by intellectual insecurity and Catholic guilt as a weird selection of actresses, financiers, writers and hucksters dog his every move. As ever with Fellini, it's all about…

The Eye
Date Location
Alba (in one of her better performances) stars as a blind concert violinist who becomes haunted by terrifying supernatural visions once a corneal transplant restores her sight. Yet another Asian horror remake, this does contain some disturbing imagery early on but sticks too closely to formula and brings no new focus to the genre.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall

Honeydripper
Date Location
It's 1950 in rural Alabama and morally circumspect pianist Tyrone Purvis (Glover) is trying to save the Honeydripper lounge from bankruptcy and his ass from prison. Although this benign and jolly tale is too long and features too many characters, Sayles' ability to spin a good yarn remains undiminished, irreproachable, enviable and all too rare.

Iron Man
Date Location
Performing a perfectly poised balancing act between taking the fantastical material seriously and treating it with a knowing sense of humour, this smart adaptation locates Tony Stark/Iron Man's story of professional irresponsibility and personal redemption firmly within the context of the war on terror. Kidnapped by Afghan insurgents, Iron Man promptly renounces arms manufacture and instead uses his super-powered outfit to right his wrongs.

Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
Date Location
Sweet-faced, oily-torsoed 'Any Dream Will Do' wannabe Craig Chalmers takes to the stage in Andrew Lloyd Webber's heftily-padded, simplified Bible story with songs. The teen crowds may swoon and the energetic performances may make it all zip along, but as a lead Chalmers is easily out-sung and out-acted by his co-stars.
26 May–31 May Mon 7.30; Tue & Wed 2.00 & 7.30; Thu 7.30; Fri 5.00 & 8.00; Sat 2.00 & 5.00 His Majesty's Theatre, Aberdeen
Joy Division
Date Location
Beautifully cut and imaginatively constructed documentary explaining the swift rise and abrupt cessation of Joy Division (and troubled singer Ian Curtis ) through rare footage, TV appearances, bootleg recordings, personal photographs and recollections. The film rubbishes the ludicrous rock'n'roll myth of 'live fast, die young' to tell the story with humour, warmth and often-painful clarity.

Made of Honour
Date Location
Tom (Dempsey) is a wealthy New York City playboy who only realises his best friend Hannah (Monaghan) is the love of his life when she plans to marry dashing stranger Colin (McKidd). Predictable 'ménage a trois' rom-com, which relocates to Scotland for some cultural stereotyping.

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.
