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.

Brideshead Revisited
Date Location
Jarrold's revamp of Evelyn Waugh's classic novel pares back the opulent trimmings of the television series to expose the bare bones of Waugh's lament for the civilised past.

13 Oct–18 Oct 7.30; Wed & Sat 2.30 & 7.30 King's Theatre, Glasgow
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
Date Location
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.
14 Oct Tue 6.00 Glasgow Film Theatre, Glasgow
City of Ember
Date Location
Students from the amazing underground city of Ember go through a series of adventures in order to sustain their special secret world for another 200 years. Ho-hum but visually impressive children's adventure sci-fi.

The Dark Knight
Date Location
Nolan's revamp of the superhero franchise reaches its apotheosis with this sequel to 'Batman Begins', a supremely well-imagined, perfectly executed film that combines blockbuster spectacle with indie cinema cool and smarts. Psychotic, chaos-loving clown The Joker (Ledger) is introduced as the dark knight's ultimate nemesis and a thrilling battle slowly terrorises the populace of Gotham.
10 Oct–16 Oct 7.00 IMAX Theatre, Glasgow
Davy and Peter Rothbart
Date Location
Readings and music based on found notes, letters and the like.
14 Oct 8.00 The Sub Club, Glasgow
Death Race
Date Location
Rehashed elements from Roger Corman's 70s 'Death Race 2000' with Statham as Jensen Ames, who is forced by prison warden Hennessey (Allen) to take part in a three stage Death Race on pay-per-view television. The chase sequences are satisfying and Allen clearly enjoys some action-movie slumming, director Anderson's reboot is predictably stripped of the anarchic humour and political sideswipes of the original.
10 Oct–16 Oct 8.20; Fri 8.20 & 11.10; Sat 11.10 Cineworld Renfrew Street, Glasgow
Devil Sold His Soul, Fei Comodo and Rinoa

Disaster Movie
Date Location
New spoof comedy from the 'Epic Movie'/'Meet the Spartans' folk. Blockbuster flicks as diverse as the Indiana Jones franchise, 'Iron Man' and 'High School Musical' get lampooned to tedious effect.

10 Oct–16 Oct 11.20am, 1.50 & 4.00 Showcase Cinema, Coatbridge, Glasgow

88 Minutes
Date Location
Pacino plays Jack Gramm, a forensic scientist who finds himself framed for murder. Given 88 minutes to find the real culprit, Pacino wearily scrambles between police, suspects and a Death Row killer to prove his innocence. With a ludicrously cheesy cliffhanger climax, '88 Minutes' amounts to rank codswallop.
10 Oct–16 Oct 12.00 Cineworld Renfrew Street, Glasgow
Elysian Fields: The Life and Curious Death of Tennessee Williams
Date Location
A new play by Derek McLuckie about Tennessee Williams in his dotage - old, lonely, drink addled and drug addicted - before a fatal accidental overdose. With Grant Smeaton as Tenn & Pauline Goldsmith as Vivien Leigh, his companion in madness. 'Part of Glasgay!'
14 Oct–18 Oct 8.00 The Arches, Glasgow
Flashbacks of a Fool (Senior Screening)
Date Location
Set in present-day California and an English seaside resort circa 1972, Joe Scott (Craig between Bond outings), is a washed up Hollywood star who recalls a traumatic teenage experience that leads to professional success and personal self-destruction. Good supporting performances and rather pedestrian flashbacks make for an interesting, if not outstanding drama about the repercussions of childhood folly.
14 Oct Tue 11.00am Odeon At The Quay, Glasgow
Fly Me to the Moon
Date Location
A 3D film describing mankind's first trip to the moon is a lively sounding prospect, and moments in Stassen's animation provide a genuine wow-factor, but such moments of poetry are fleeting and the majority of this film insanely focuses on the uninteresting plight of three houseflies who stowaway onboard.
10 Oct–16 Oct 11.30am, 1.40, 3.40 & 6.00; Sat 11.30am, 1.40 & 3.40 Cineworld Renfrew Street, Glasgow

Garrone offers an intriguing account of the Napoli-based Camorra, adapted from the bestselling book by journalist Roberto Saviano.

A deserving winner of the Grand Prix at Cannes.

10 Oct–16 Oct 2.30, 5.30 & 8.15; Sun 12.15 & 5.30; Tue 3.00 & 8.15 Glasgow Film Theatre, Glasgow
Good Dick
Date Location
A young girl (Palka) whiles away her time in the sprawling suburbs of Los Angeles watching pornography rented from her local video store. One of the boys that works in the store takes a shine to her and the pair enter into a sadomasochistic relationship.

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.

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

Mongol
Date Location
In the first of a planned trilogy on the Mongol leader's life, Genghis Khan (Asano) suffers imprisonment, the murder of his father and the loss of his bride before waging war against his traitorous one-time ally.

Righteous Kill
Date Location
New York police detective partners Rooster (Pacino) and Turk (De Niro) duke it out over a series of cop killings while staring admiringly at each other as if they're celebrating a diamond-wedding anniversary.
