Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging
Date Location
After 'Bend it Like Beckham', Chadha takes a step into younger territory with this adaptation of two of Louise Rennison's books. The film lacks the sharp wit of slick American comedies such as 'Clueless' and 'Mean Girls', but earns points for featuring actresses, including lead Georgia Groome, who really are the age of the characters they're playing.
25 Jul–31 Jul 10.20am, 12.50, 3.15, 5.55 & 8.20 Vue Inverness, Inverness
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. With a simplistic plot, and Caspian (Barnes) reduced to a pretty face, Disney may have finally brought Narnia to the big screen, but for a real journey of the imagination, stick to the books.
25 Jul–31 Jul 9.50 Vue Inverness, Inverness
Civic Bonfire and Fireworks Display
Date Location
The largest and most spectacular bonfire night party in the North of Scotland.
5 Nov 7.00–8.00 Bught Park, Inverness
The Dark Knight
Date Location
Following on from Nolan's critically and commercially successful 'Batman Begins', this sequel promises to be bigger and possibly even better in almost every way. Inevitably, though, expect proceedings to be overshadowed by Ledger's final screen role, as Batman's (Bale) arch-nemesis The Joker.
25 Jul–31 Jul 9.45am, 12.00, 1.00, 3.30, 4.30, 7.00 & 8.00; Fri & Sat 9.45am, 12.00, 1.00, 3.30, 4.30, 7.00, 8.00 & 10.30 Vue Inverness, Inverness
The Edge of Love
Date Location
Welsh chanteuse Vera Phillips (Knightley) happens upon old lover Dylan Thomas (Rhys) who is now married to Caitlin (Miller). They become a firm threesome until Vera falls in love with young officer (Murphy) and group dynamics shift unpleasantly. Based around real events, Maybury's film is clever, funny, insightful and full of killer lines.
25 Jul–31 Jul Fri 6.00 & 8.30; Sat 1.30 & 6.00; Sun 2.00 & 7.45; Mon 6.00 & 8.30; Tue 11.30am & 6.00; Wed 8.15; Thu 2.00 & 6.00 Eden Court Theatre, Inverness
Festival Summer Showcase
Date Location
A lively and varied showcase of the talented performers who have previously entered the Inverness Music Festival.
Wednesdays (from 1 Aug) Wed 8.00–10.00 Inverness Town House, Inverness
Hancock
Date Location
Smith plays a nihilistic superhero who has fallen out of favour with the public. Due to this scenario, 'Hancock' dangerously flirts with the status of one-joke film. Amazingly, though, Hancock is then rescued (both as a character and as a film) by PR executive Ray Embrey (Bateman), who believes he can turn Hancock's public image from zero to hero.
25 Jul–31 Jul 1.05, 3.20, 5.50 & 8.10; Fri & Sat 1.05, 3.20, 5.50, 8.10 & 11.10; Sun 1.05, 5.50 & 8.10; Tue 1.05, 3.20 & 5.50 Vue Inverness, Inverness
Hancock (Subtitled)
Date Location
Smith plays a nihilistic superhero who has fallen out of favour with the public. Due to this scenario, 'Hancock' dangerously flirts with the status of one-joke film. Amazingly, though, Hancock is then rescued (both as a character and as a film) by PR executive Ray Embrey (Bateman), who believes he can turn Hancock¹s public image from zero to hero.
27 Jul–29 Jul Sun 3.20; Tue 8.10 Vue Inverness, Inverness

6 Sep 9.00am Culloden Moor, Inverness
Himalaya
Date Location
In the high mountains of the Himalayas, a village prepares for the annual yak caravan to market. However, the young chieftain has been killed and the old clan head refuses to recognise the hot-headed Karma as his successor. A worthy insight into the lives of a hardy people. The landscape is breathtakingly shot, and the attention to local detail feels authentic. The plot has less going for it, being at heart a fairly hackneyed story of an heir to the throne having to prove he is worthy of the…
29 Jul–31 Jul Tue 8.00; Wed 11.30am & 6.00; Thu 8.30 Eden Court Theatre, Inverness

Kung Fu Panda
Date Location
Overweight panda Po (Black) joins his heroes, the Fierce Five, in a butt-kicking adventure when the valley of peace is threatened with the return of bad kung fu master, Tai Lung (McShane). This is Dreamworks-does-manga animation, overlaid with an Eastern version of the fated place-in-the-universe style philosophy originally trademarked in 'The Lion King'.
25 Jul–31 Jul 9.55am, 12.10, 2.25, 4.40 & 6.50 Vue Inverness, Inverness

Manufactured Landscapes
Date Location
Baichwal's thoughtful documentary explores the work of the photographer Edward Burtynsky, whose large-scale colour photos examine the impact of man's industrial processes upon landscapes around the world, on a trip through Asia. This is a film which encourages the viewer to gaze at its images, and feel unsettled by its eerie beauty.
29 Jul–31 Jul Tue 8.30; Wed 6.15; Thu 8.15 Eden Court Theatre, Inverness
Meet Dave
Date Location
Eddie Murphy plays Dave Ming Chang, a spaceship made in the image of its miniature-sized captain (also Murphy) who has landed on Earth on a mission to save his planet. Now, one of the least eagerly anticipated reunions in cinema history - between Murphy and director Brian Robbins ('Norbit') - invites us to Meet Dave. You really shouldn't bother.

Un Secret
Date Location
Miller revisits France's traumatic experiences under German Occupation during World War Two in this polished and suspenseful melodrama. 'Un Secret' begins in the mid-1980s, with the psychologist François (Amalric) worried by his father's sudden disappearance. As a series of intricately laid family secrets then unravel, the emphasis is heavily placed on the individual's subjective experience and memory of history.
28 Jul–31 Jul Mon 8.45; Tue 5.15; Wed 2.00 & 8.30; Thu 6.15 Eden Court Theatre, Inverness
Shotgun Stories
Date Location
Nichol's slow burn modern Western features three brothers stumbling their way through luckless lives. At their father's funeral they come face to face with their half brothers and a Shakespearean feud erupts. Essentially a parable about grief and the futility of hostility, Nichol observes that poverty and hope are the main currency traded in this southeastern part of Arkansas.
25 Jul–28 Jul Fri & Mon 6.15; Sat 8.45; Sun 8.00 Eden Court Theatre, Inverness
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.
25 Jul–31 Jul 10.30am Vue Inverness, Inverness
Vantage Point (Senior Screening)
Date Location
Eight strangers - including Secret Service agents Thomas Barnes (Quaid) and Kent Taylor (Mathew Fox), tourist Howard Lewis (Forest Whitaker) and American TV news producer Rex Brooks (Weaver) - try to unlock the truth behind an assassination attempt on the US President Ashton (Hurt). Competently made but ridiculously silly and badly acted thriller which attempts to pollinate Oliver Stone's 'JFK' with 'Groundhog Day'.
29 Jul Tue 1.05 Vue Inverness, Inverness
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.
25 Jul–31 Jul 10.00am, 12.25, 2.55, 5.25 & 7.50; Fri & Sat 10.00am, 12.25, 2.55, 5.25, 7.50 & 10.25 Vue Inverness, Inverness
Wanted
Date Location
Scottish comic book writer Mark Millar's ultra-violent graphic novel gets the Hollywood blockbuster treatment. Fellow Scot McAvoy takes the lead as a super-assassin inductee under the tutelage of action babe Fox (Jolie) and boss Sloan (Freeman). Toning down the comic's darker elements and ramping up the SFX, Bekmambetov's quirky stylistic excesses make up for the script's weaknesses. And McAvoy is quite convincing.
25 Jul–31 Jul 9.00; Fri & Sat 9.00 & 11.30 Vue Inverness, Inverness
