Gomorrah

Garrone offers an intriguing account of the Napoli-based Camorra, adapted from the bestselling book by journalist Roberto Saviano. This excellent ensemble drama shows us various facets of Mafia life, from the recruiting of young kids to the infiltration of seemingly legitimate industries such as haute couture and segues into the waste industry.

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.
10 Oct–16 Oct 11.00am, 1.45, 4.05, 7.00 & 9.30; Fri & Sat 11.00am, 1.45, 4.05, 7.00, 9.30 & 12am Showcase Cinema, Coatbridge, Glasgow

How to Lose Friends and Alienate People
Date Location
Toby Young's semi-scandalous memoir about the period the gobby English journo spent carousing with the rich and famous while working at a glossy magazine in New York is given a mainstream movie makeover with this enjoyable enough romantic comedy. Young's rudely confessional and frequently very funny observations are now framed by a bland will-they-won't-they love story that sadly drowns every last scrap of satirical stab.
10 Oct–16 Oct 11.35am, 2.15, 4.45, 7.20 & 9.55; Fri & Sat 11.35am, 2.15, 4.45, 7.20, 9.55 & 0.30am Showcase Cinema, Coatbridge, Glasgow

Mamma Mia!
Date Location
A bride-to-be tries to find out the identity of her real father in the lead up to her wedding on a Greek island. Depressingly faithful film adaptation of abominable Broadway and West End ABBA song musical mega hit. The popularity of films like this certainly make one wonder about the rampancy of mental illness in our culture.

10 Oct–16 Oct 11.40am, 2.20, 5.10 & 8.00; Fri & Sat 11.40am, 2.20 & 5.10 Cineworld Renfrew Street, Glasgow

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.
10 Oct–16 Oct 11.25am, 1.55, 4.25, 7.15 & 9.45; Fri & Sat 11.25am, 1.55, 4.25, 7.15, 9.45 & 0.05am Showcase Cinema, Coatbridge, Glasgow

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.
10 Oct–16 Oct 10.30am, 1.10, 4.00, 6.40 & 9.10; Fri & Sat 10.30am, 1.10, 4.00, 6.40, 9.10 & 11.50 Cineworld Renfrew Street, Glasgow

13 Oct 7.30 City Halls, Glasgow
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.

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.

Inevitably bowdlerised but suitably sweaty version of Tennessee Williams' loquacious play. A deceived and cancer-ridden Southern patriarch (Ives) gathers his greedy, in-fighting family for a birthday celebration, and is met by general sycophancy from all except his strangely distant son. Even in diluted form this still packs a punch and the Taylor-Newman teaming is irresistible.

Baby Doll
Date Location
Tennessee Williams and director Kazan took two of the playwright's one act works and turned them into this blackly comic melodrama about a bored teen bride, her clumsy husband and their slyly seductive neighbour. The chaos of the couple's house mirrors the broken-down morality of the characters, while the hot 'n' sweaty Deep South setting keeps passions close to the boil. Wonderful stuff.
