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.

The Dark Knight
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.

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
Date	Location
In the second instalment of the Narnia films, the Pevensie children are summoned back to Narnia for a slick, fast-paced romp through dark woods, underground caverns and fierce battles. With a simplistic plot, and Caspian (Barnes) reduced to a pretty face, Disney may have finally brought Narnia to the big screen, but for a real journey of the imagination, stick to the books.
25 Jul–31 Jul 10.40am	Vue Edinburgh Ocean, Edinburgh
25 Jul–31 Jul 12.15 & 5.30	Odeon Wester Hailes, Edinburgh

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.

Kung Fu Panda
Date	Location
Overweight panda Po (Black) joins his heroes, the Fierce Five, in a butt-kicking adventure when the valley of peace is threatened with the return of bad kung fu master, Tai Lung (McShane).

Twice in a life-time chance to see the growly-voiced genius.
27 Jul–28 Jul 8.00	Edinburgh Playhouse, Edinburgh

Hancock
Date	Location
Smith plays a nihilistic superhero who has fallen out of favour with the public. Due to this scenario, 'Hancock' dangerously flirts with the status of one-joke film. Amazingly, though, Hancock is then rescued (both as a character and as a film) by PR executive Ray Embrey (Bateman), who believes he can turn Hancock's public image from zero to hero.
25 Jul–31 Jul Fri & Sat 12.15, 3.00, 5.30, 8.20 & 11.10; 12.15, 3.00, 5.30 & 8.20	Cineworld Edinburgh, Edinburgh

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.

Wanted
Date	Location
Scottish comic book writer Mark Millar's ultra-violent graphic novel gets the Hollywood blockbuster treatment. Fellow Scot McAvoy takes the lead as a super-assassin inductee under the tutelage of action babe Fox (Jolie) and boss Sloan (Freeman). Toning down the comic's darker elements and ramping up the SFX, Bekmambetov's quirky stylistic excesses make up for the script's weaknesses. And McAvoy is quite convincing.

Date	Location
Smith plays a nihilistic superhero who has fallen out of favour with the public. Due to this scenario, 'Hancock' dangerously flirts with the status of one-joke film. Amazingly, though, Hancock is then rescued (both as a character and as a film) by PR executive Ray Embrey (Bateman), who believes he can turn Hancock¹s public image from zero to hero.

A thriller set in the rarefied world of classical music.

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.

The growing pains of a trio of 15-year-old girls, set mostly in the municipal swimming pool in a Parisian suburb, translate into arrogance and sexual confusion in their games of one-upmanship, social climbing and sexual awakening.
