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.

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.

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 Oct16 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

11 Oct 11.00–3.00am The Arches, 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.

Mamma Mia! (Sing-a-Long)
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.

10 Oct11 Oct Fri & Sat 8.00 Cineworld Renfrew Street, Glasgow
The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas
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 Oct16 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

Gomorrah
Date Location
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. A deserving winner of the Grand Prix at Cannes.
10 Oct16 Oct 11.15am, 2.40, 5.50 & 9.00 Cineworld Renfrew Street, Glasgow
10 Oct16 Oct 2.30, 5.30 & 8.15; Sun 12.15 & 5.30; Tue 3.00 & 8.15 Glasgow Film Theatre, Glasgow
The Dark Knight

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.

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.

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. When they met in Michael Mann's 'Heat' the anticipation was enormous but 13 years and a loss of kudos later, not so much.
10 Oct16 Oct 2.30, 5.20 & 8.20; Mon & Tue 2.30 & 8.20 Cineworld Renfrew Street, Glasgow
10 Oct16 Oct 7.50 & 10.20; Fri & Sat 7.50, 10.20 & 0.40am Showcase Cinema, Coatbridge, Glasgow

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 Oct16 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

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.
10 Oct16 Oct 10.20am & 12.40 Cineworld Renfrew Street, Glasgow
10 Oct16 Oct 11.15am & 1.45; Fri 1.45 Odeon At The Quay, Glasgow

Brideshead Revisited

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.

Pineapple Express
Date Location
'Knocked Up' star Rogen returns to play Dale, a permanently-baked legal process-server whose friendly weed-dealer Saul (Franco) sells him a rare strain of cannabis known as 'Pineapple Express'. When Dale accidentally leaves a half-smoked joint at the scene of gangland murder, the pair are forced to go on the run. A loose, freewheeling and highly enjoyable action comedy.

On the whim of a sinister senator (Tucci), Ham III (Samberg) - the circus performer grandson of one of the first chimpanzees in space is sent into orbit to retrieve a missing satellite.

Alasdair Gray: Works in Print
Date Location
Art works produced by the prolific writer.
3 Oct–22 Nov, not Sundays, Mondays 10.00am–5.30 Glasgow Print Studio, 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 Oct16 Oct 8.20; Fri 8.20 & 11.10; Sat 11.10 Cineworld Renfrew Street, Glasgow
Drona
Date Location

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 Oct16 Oct 12.00 Cineworld Renfrew Street, Glasgow
Five Children and It
Date Location
Charming adaptation of E Nesbit's classic children's book, set during WWI when a bunch of city kids are bundled off to stay with their Uncle Albert (Branagh). Soon they discover a mysterious creature living in a sandy alcove nearby. Like Harry Potter with a heart.
11 Oct12 Oct Sat & Sun 10.30am Grosvenor, 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. Beneath a seedy and disturbing exterior, this is a very sweet, very affecting and quite sophisticated film.
10 Oct16 Oct Fri 12.45, 5.00 & 9.00; Sat 2.15 & 6.30; Sun 3.15 & 5.15; Mon 1.00, 3.00 & 9.00; Tue 2.15, 4.15 & 6.15; Wed & Thu 3.00, 5.00 & 9.00 Glasgow Film Theatre, Glasgow

The Women

Depressing update of Clare Booth Luce's 1936 satirical play set in the idle and bitchy world of wealthy wives and divorcees.

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.

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.

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.
