Glasgow, tomorrow

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. Cue farcical attempts to cheat each other out of the money while falling in love. It's watchable enough, but ultimately just a bit of a dumb waste of time.
16 May–22 May 11.10am, 1.30, 3.50, 6.30 & 8.50	Cineworld Parkhead, Glasgow
16 May–22 May Fri & Sat 11.30am, 2.30, 5.30, 8.30 & 11.10; 11.30am, 2.30, 5.30 & 8.30	Cineworld Renfrew Street, Glasgow

Forgetting Sarah Marshall

Date	Location
Writer and star Segal is Peter Bretter, a composer who gets dumped by his soap star girlfriend Sarah Marshall (Bell). Heading to Hawaii he bumps into her and her new rock star boyfriend Aldous Snow (Brand), who steals the show in an otherwise predictable and grating romantic comedy.
16 May–22 May Fri & Sat 11.15am, 2.00, 4.35, 7.15, 9.50 & 0.20am; 11.15am, 2.00, 4.35, 7.15 & 9.50	Showcase Cinema, Coatbridge, Glasgow

17 May–18 May 11.00am–5.30	Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, Glasgow

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 May–22 May Fri & Sat 10.40am, 1.20, 4.00, 6.40, 9.20 & 11.50; 10.40am, 1.20, 4.00, 6.40 & 9.20	Cineworld Renfrew Street, Glasgow

16 May–22 May 1.45, 4.15, 6.45 & 9.15; Thu 6.45 & 9.15	Odeon At The Quay, Glasgow

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 May–22 May Fri & Sat 11.00am, 1.35, 4.05, 7.05, 9.40 & 0.10am; 11.00am, 1.35, 4.05, 7.05 & 9.40; Thu 11.00am, 1.35, 4.05, 7.05 & 9.40	Showcase Cinema, Coatbridge, Glasgow

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.
16 May–22 May Fri & Sat 11.00am, 1.45, 4.20, 7.05, 9.30 & 11.50; 11.00am, 1.45, 4.20, 7.05 & 9.30	Showcase Cinema, Coatbridge, Glasgow

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 May–22 May Fri & Sat 11.10am, 1.10, 2.10, 4.10, 5.10, 7.10, 8.10, 10.10 & 11.10; 11.10am, 1.10, 2.10, 4.10, 5.10, 7.10, 8.10 & 10.10; Thu 11.10am, 2.10, 5.10 & 8.10	Showcase Cinema, Coatbridge, Glasgow

17 May–18 May Sat & Sun 3.20	Grosvenor, Glasgow

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 May–22 May Fri & Sat 10.20am, 1.00, 3.45, 6.20, 9.20 & 11.50; 10.20am, 1.00, 3.45, 6.20 & 9.20	Cineworld Renfrew Street, Glasgow

Resolution Asset Management Women's 10K

Date	Location
10 gruelling kilometres from Nithsdale Road to Mosspark Boulevard, though there won't be much time for sightseeing if you're taking part. Last year Kenyan Vivien Cheruiyot won with a time of 32.08. Can you do better?
18 May 10.00am	Bellahouston Park, Glasgow

Azur and Asmar: The Princes' Quest

Date	Location
Childhood buddies Azur and Asmar become rivals and enemies in a medieval Maghreb. With the action taking place in North African Islamic architecture and over-populated bazaars, the colourful palatte of the animation and 'Arabian Nights'-style storyline is a welcome throwback to the days before Pixar tore up the rulebook. A compassionate and mature film based on classic legends rather than popular culture.
17 May–18 May Sat & Sun 10.30am	Grosvenor, Glasgow

The Beat Club

Date	Location
Good music, good drinks and good people. Live music venue and club with rooftop smoking terrace, playing host to a wide range of musical styles from rock to disco. The focus here is very much on customer care and having a good time.
Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays 9.00–3.00am	The Beat Club, Glasgow

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.
16 May–21 May 10.50am, 1.15, 4.00 & 6.20	Cineworld Renfrew Street, Glasgow
16 May–22 May 11.00am, 1.15, 3.35, 5.50 & 8.10; Thu 11.00am, 1.15 & 3.35; Sun 11.00am, 3.35, 5.50 & 8.10; Mon 11.00am, 1.15, 3.35 & 8.10	Cineworld Parkhead, Glasgow

Happy-Go-Lucky

Honeydripper

Date	Location
It's 1950 in rural Alabama and morally circumspect pianist Tyrone Purvis (Glover) is trying to save the Honeydripper lounge from bankruptcy and his ass from prison. Although this benign and jolly tale is too long and features too many characters, Sayles' ability to spin a good yarn remains undiminished, irreproachable, enviable and all too rare.
16 May–22 May Fri, Sun, Mon & Tue 3.00 & 8.20; Sat 6.00; Wed 2.30 & 8.20; Thu 2.30, 5.50 & 8.20	Glasgow Film Theatre, Glasgow

21

Date	Location
Spacey plays a professor who teaches six MIT students to card count in this heavy-handed, unfaithful adaptation of Ben Mazrich's book, which was based on the gambling exploits of card shark Jeffrey Ma. This is filmmaking by numbers and it's not a winning formula.
16 May–21 May 11.05am, 1.50, 4.40, 7.50 & 10.30	Showcase Cinema, Coatbridge, Glasgow
16 May–21 May 9.00	Cineworld Renfrew Street, Glasgow

Caramel

Date	Location
Charming, bitter-sweet debut feature from writer-director Labaki that centres upon the 'Si Belle' beauty parlour in the Lebanese capital and the dramas of the female clientele. The film is impressively acted by a mostly non-professional cast. While there are no references to the on-going strife in Lebanon, this is still a political film, and a tender tribute to female solidarity.
16 May–22 May Fri & Sat 12.30, 3.00, 5.40, 8.00 & 10.30; 12.30, 3.00, 5.40 & 8.00	Cineworld Renfrew Street, Glasgow

Date	Location

Outpost

Date	Location
Beefy mercenary DC (Stevenson) has to get shadowy businessman Hunt (Wadham) into an abandoned bunker in an Eastern European war zone and out again while dodging the undead Nazis. Filmed in Glasgow's Film City Studios and on location in Dumfries, 'Outpost' is an impressively pared down genre flick which borrows from the best. If this is your bag, you won't be disappointed.
16 May–22 May Fri & Sat 11.30am, 1.40, 4.00, 6.40, 9.00 & 11.30; 11.30am, 1.40, 4.00, 6.40 & 9.00	Cineworld Renfrew Street, Glasgow

Torsten Lauschmann

Date	Location
Lauschmann brings together sculpture, photography, projections and sound into an exhibition which is at once a dramatisation and a simplfication of the everyday, from where the viewer can experience the shimmering, fleeting transcendence of the German-born, Glasgow-based artist's vision.
6 Mar–25 May	Gallery of Modern Art, Glasgow

Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden?

Date	Location
Spurlock's new documentary, in which the campaigner tries to find Osama Bin Laden, is one long ego-trip. Little attempt is made to actually find him; instead Spurlock ventures to Egypt, Morocco, Afghanistan and Pakistan to show how the Muslim population living there are by-and-large ordinary folks concerned with raising their families and making a living.
16 May–21 May Fri & Sat 1.10, 3.35, 6.00, 8.20 & 10.45; 1.10, 3.35, 6.00 & 8.20; Mon 1.10 & 3.35	Cineworld Renfrew Street, Glasgow

The Eye

Date	Location
Alba (in one of her better performances) stars as a blind concert violinist who becomes haunted by terrifying supernatural visions once a corneal transplant restores her sight. Yet another Asian horror remake, this does contain some disturbing imagery early on but sticks too closely to formula and brings no new focus to the genre.

Smart People

Date	Location
Dysfunctional American family comedy that examines the improbable rejuvenation of widowed English professor Lawrence Wetherhold (Quaid). Contemptuous, irascible, narcissistic and detached from his children (Ashton Holmes and Ellen Page), Wetherhold's feckless adopted brother Chuck (Church) and ER doctor Janet Hartigan (Parker) attempts to rescue him from his isolation are scuppered by the lack of chemistry between the two romantic leads.

Caramel (Subtitled)

Date	Location
Charming, bitter-sweet debut feature from writer-director Labaki that centres upon the 'Si Belle' beauty parlour in the Lebanese capital and the dramas of the female clientele. The film is impressively acted by a mostly non-professional cast. While there are no references to the on-going strife in Lebanon, this is still a political film, and a tender tribute to female solidarity.

Nim's Island (Subtitled)

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.

Playtime

Date	Location
Monsieur Hulot, tussling with the modern world as usual, follows a group of American tourists around a garish and hi-tech Paris of concrete and glass. Undervalued later Tati, with the actor Tati's slapstick of old overshadowed by Tati the director's masterly control of the widescreen frame.
