Post apocalyptic thriller with Diesel as Russian mercenary Toorop who is escorting a very special woman (Yeoh) to China.

The Mist
Date Location
After a thunderstorm artist David (Jane) heads down to the local supermarket, only to join a small cross-section of the town hemmed indoors by a mysterious mist.

10 Sep Wed 6.00 Vue Inverness, Inverness
RocknRolla
Date Location
Ritchie's story is told with a signature narration and follows the pursuits of a bunch of get-rich-quick, bumbling, loveable rogues who could have walked straight off the set of an Ealing comedy. With trademark flashes of visual panache and humour, it's all perfectly serviceable, but still leaves us guessing over whether Ritchie is just a one-trick pony.
5 Sep–11 Sep 12.55, 3.40, 6.10 & 8.45; Fri & Sat 12.55, 3.40, 6.10, 8.45 & 11.20 Vue Inverness, Inverness

The universe rests in the hands of the daring Jedi Knights, led by Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, along with brand-new heroes such as Anakin's padawan learner, Ahsoka.

Street Kings
Date Location
Tom Ludlow (Reeves) is a vodka-soaked LA cop forced to take on his own department when a former colleague is murdered. Reeves is impressive, but Whitaker's corrupt police chief is less so. For all its pedigree 'Street Kings' is a misfiring entry into the corrupt cop genre.
9 Sep–11 Sep Tue 8.45; Wed 6.15; Thu 8.15 Eden Court Theatre, Inverness
Summer Hours (L'Heure d'ete)
Date Location
It's the 75th birthday of widowed matriarch Helene, and attending the celebrations are her three children, grandchildren and elderly housekeeper, who must decide collectively what to do with their artistic inheritance when Helene passes away soon after.

Wild Child
Date Location
This vacuous rehash of teen movie clichés presents Californian brat Poppy, a foul-mouthed and obnoxious Malibu-mite who is shipped off to a posh boarding school in England in the hope that she learn that values and price-tags are not the same thing. Another dog-eared slice of Working Title crapola aimed squarely at the dumbest of US teens.
5 Sep–11 Sep 1.05 & 5.50; Sat & Sun 10.50am, 1.05 & 5.50 Vue Inverness, Inverness
You Don't Mess With the Zohan
Date Location
Zohan (Sandler) is a superhuman Mossad agent who renounces violence to pursue his real dream - a new life as a NY hairdresser. As well as a Borat-style delight in his own nakedness, Zohan is characterised by his 'funny foreigner' enthusiasm for hummus, Euro-disco and Wham-era hairstyling. Sandler's latest attempt to un-stereotype himself is a tragic attempt to use outrageous comedy to smooth relationships between New York's Israeli and Palestinian communities
