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.

What Happens in Vegas . . .
Date Location
This underwhelming romantic comedy details the love trajectory of Vegas gamblers Joy (Diaz) and Jack (Kutcher), who wake up one morning to find they are married and have also hit the jackpot on the tables.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall

Charlie Bartlett
Date Location
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. Whilst robbed of any wider social resonance, this is an amusing enough take on the agonies of youth, and 'Charlie Bartlett' deserves a B+ for effort.
16 May22 May 1.15, 3.40, 6.05 & 8.40; Fri & Sat 1.15, 3.40, 6.05, 8.40, 11.00 & 11.10 Cineworld Edinburgh, Edinburgh

17 May 7.00 The Liquid Room, Edinburgh
Beetlejuice
Date Location
Recently deceased and very charming New England couple have difficulty in adjusting to the afterlife. Not the least of their worries is the tasteless refurbishment of their old home by a nasty New York yuppie family, and they eventually call on freelance bio-exorcist Betelgeuse (pronounced 'Beetle-juice') to deal with the problem in his own inimitable fashion. A movie of exuberantly eccentric cartoonish capers, which creates its own comic cosmos where the unexpected is the norm. Great fun it…
16 May17 May Fri & Sat 11.40 Cameo, Edinburgh
Dr Jane Goodall
Date Location
The UN Messenger for Peace gives a talk titled 'Gombe and Beyond', followed by a book signing event.
20 May 7.00 George Square Theatre, Edinburgh

In Bruges
Date Location
Two gobby Dublin criminals bide their time in Bruges, awating instruction from their cryptic and remote gangster boss Harry. Irish playwright McDonagh, in his feature debut, which wrestles some affecting moments from demonstrative characters, nicely teases out the parallels between the trio and Beckett's Vladimir, Estragon and Godot.
16 May21 May 3.20, 5.55 & 8.35; Wed 3.20 & 5.55 Cineworld Edinburgh, Edinburgh
16 May21 May 5.00 & 7.40; Fri & Sat 5.00, 7.40 & 10.10 Vue Edinburgh Ocean, Edinburgh
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.

Speed Racer
Date Location
A live action though CG-heavy adaptation of a 1960s Japanese television anime about a futuristic family of racecar designer-drivers who are pitted against a corporate fat cat. The film's message is: business bad, family good, winning best of all. Not that this matters in a film with migraine-inducing race sequences and stomach-churning thrill-rides.
16 May21 May Fri–Wed 12.15 & 3.30 Vue Edinburgh Omni, Edinburgh

Doomsday
Date Location
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. This may well provide a few guilty pleasures for jaded action fans, but non-genre fans will find this about as subtle as a nail-encrusted club in the face
16 May21 May 12.50, 3.30, 6.10 & 8.50; Fri & Sat 12.50, 3.30, 6.10, 8.50 & 11.25 Cineworld Edinburgh, Edinburgh

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.

19 Jun 6.00 Edinburgh Festival Theatre, Edinburgh
The Accidental Husband (Senior Screening)
Date Location
Talk radio host Emma Lloyd (Thurman) advises one of her listeners to dump her fireman fiancée days before their wedding. Jilted ex Patrick (Morgan) decides to get his revenge on the radio host and her posh, dull husband-to-be Richard (Firth) with comic and romantic results. Solid, likeably old-fashioned romantic comedy with decent performances and a simple predictable script that never overreaches itself.
