Dundee

The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas
| 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. |

Tropic Thunder
| Date |
Location |
| While filming a war movie, three Hollywood actors become embroiled with a heroin cartel run by a tyrannical 12-year-old (Brandon Soo Hoo) and are forced to become the soldiers they are portraying. Like Stiller's previous directorial efforts, 'Tropic Thunder' looks like it has been plotted by a child simpleton but most of the time you'll be laughing too hard to notice, or care. |

The Stone of Destiny
| Date |
Location |
| Smith's hysterical, historical heist film gets a Scotland-only release. Cox plays Ian Hamilton, a student who sets out to liberate the Stone of Destiny from Westminster Abbey and bring in back to Scotland. A cinematic non-event, devoid of thrills, excitement and even common sense. |

Taken
| Date |
Location |
| Retired US secret agent operative Bryan (Neeson) steps into fray when his daughter Kim (Grace), with his ex-wife (Janssen), is 'taken' by sex traffickers on a trip to Paris. A high octane, blood thumping update of Paul Schrader's 1979 'Hardcore' is every bit as ridiculous as it sounds but no less enjoyable for it, with Francophile attitude, Chekhovian familial regret, over the top torture and not a fundamentalist Muslim in sight. |

The House Bunny
| Date |
Location |
| Predictably pitiful comedy about a recently unemployed 'Playboy' mansion bunny (Farris) who goes to college. Formulaic 'Legally Blonde'ish slapstick which still manages to raise a few laughs. |
