Date Location
Following on from Nolan's critically and commercially successful 'Batman Begins', this sequel promises to be bigger and possibly even better in almost every way. Inevitably, though, expect proceedings to be overshadowed by Ledger's final screen role, as Batman's (Bale) arch-nemesis The Joker.
25 Jul–31 Jul 10.00am, 12.00, 12.40, 1.20, 3.45, 4.20, 5.00, 7.20, 8.00 & 8.40; Fri & Sat 10.00am, 12.00, 12.40, 1.20, 3.45, 4.20, 5.00, 7.20, 8.00, 8.40 & 11.00; Sun 10.00am, 12.40, 1.20, 3.45, 4.20, 5.00, 7.20, 8.00 & 8.40 Vue Edinburgh Omni, Edinburgh

Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging
Date Location
After 'Bend it Like Beckham', 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 Georgia Groome, who really are the age of the characters they're playing.
25 Jul–31 Jul 10.20am, 1.00, 3.20, 5.40 & 8.10; Fri & Sat 10.20am, 1.00, 3.20, 5.40, 8.10 & 10.40 Vue Edinburgh Ocean, Edinburgh

Baby Mama
Date Location
When her doctor bluntly tells her that he 'doesn't like the shape' of her uterus, Kate (Fey) engages the surrogate services of baby mama Angie Ostowist (Poehler), a trailer trash Gwen Stefani-wannabe. Each generation gets the Mary Tyler Moore it deserves; as creator and star of NBC's '30 Rock' sitcom, Fey has earned herself the right to be 2008's funny-girl.
25 Jul–31 Jul 11.45am Odeon Wester Hailes, Edinburgh
25 Jul–31 Jul 1.40, 4.10, 6.40 & 9.10 Vue Edinburgh Ocean, Edinburgh

Donkey Punch
Date Location
Tammi (Burley) joins her two girlfriends on a holiday in Mallorca, only to be lured onboard a luxury yacht by some unscrupulous boys. Messy drug taking, DIY porn-making and a series of violent deaths by knife, rope, flare gun and outboard motor follow. A misguided British attempt to muscle in on the already hackneyed torture-porn genre.
25 Jul–26 Jul Fri & Sat 10.40 Cineworld Edinburgh, Edinburgh

14 Aug 11.00–5.00am The GRV, Edinburgh
The Bank Job (Senior Screening)
Date Location
Roger 'Cocktail' Donaldson's low-key thriller uses the purportedly true story of a 70s heist, with Stratham as used-car dealer Terry, whose clean getaway is impeded by Jamaican drug-lords, seedy pornographer Lew Vogel (David Suchet) and British establishment lackey Miles Urquhart (Peter Bowles). The tension mounts but with slack scripting and a descent into cliché, the film ultimately plays out as a frustratingly lightweight game of cops and robbers.
29 Jul Tue 11.00am Odeon, Edinburgh
29 Jul Tue 11.15am Odeon Wester Hailes, Edinburgh
Hopetoun House Summer Fair

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.
25 Jul–31 Jul 9.50am, 10.20am, 12.20, 1.00, 3.15, 4.00, 6.00 & 9.00; Sun 9.50am, 10.20am, 12.20, 3.15, 4.00, 6.00 & 9.00 Vue Edinburgh Omni, Edinburgh
