| 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. | ||
| Empire Clydebank, Clydebank | 16 May–22 May Fri–Wed 1.10, 3.30, 6.20 & 8.50; Thu 12.40, 3.30, 6.20 & 8.50 | 08714 714 714 |

| Chirpy tot Fern (Fanning) rescues Wilbur the pig from a cruel farmyard fate for lovable arachnid Charlotte to eventually save the day in a bittersweet finale that touches on practical matters of life and death. Somewhere between the cutesy 'Babe' and Orwell's political 'Animal Farm' it should draw in children and nostalgic adults alike. | ||

| 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 | ||
| Empire Clydebank, Clydebank | 16 May–21 May Fri & Mon–Wed 1.20, 3.50, 6.30 & 9.10; 3.50, 6.30 & 9.10 | 08714 714 714 |

| One-joke comedy about a humble congressman (Carell) who is visited by God (a painfully smug Freeman) and told to build an ark. With animals lining up two by two, Evan is forced to question his maker's mysterious ways during his conversion from straight-laced suit to mystic sage in this tepid religious farce. | ||

| 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. | ||
| Empire Clydebank, Clydebank | 16 May–21 May Fri & Mon–Wed 1.50, 4.20, 6.40 & 9.00; 6.40 & 9.00 | 08714 714 714 |

| 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. | ||

| Animators Blue Sky take a break from their ongoing 'Ice Age' franchise to colourfully realise the universe of Dr Seuss' text. Both Carrey and Carrell are allowed full rein for their brand of vocal mugging as co-directors Hayward and Martino skilfully guide 'Horton' towards a comforting moral about size not being all that important. | ||

| 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. | ||
| Empire Clydebank, Clydebank | 16 May–22 May Sat & Sun 11.30am; Fri–Wed 1.30, 2.30, 4.30, 5.30, 7.30 & 8.30; Thu 1.40, 2.30, 4.40, 5.30, 7.40 & 8.30 | 08714 714 714 |

| 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. | ||

| 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. | ||
| Empire Clydebank, Clydebank | 16 May–22 May Fri & Mon–Wed 12.40, 3.00, 5.20 & 7.50; Thu 1.10 & 6.30 | 08714 714 714 |

| 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. | ||
| Empire Clydebank, Clydebank | 16 May–22 May Sat & Sun 12.45; Fri–Wed 2.00, 5.00 & 8.00; Thu 3.20 & 8.45 | 08714 714 714 |

| 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. | ||
| Empire Clydebank, Clydebank | 16 May–22 May Thu 12.50, 3.40, 6.10 & 8.40; 1.00, 3.40, 6.10 & 8.40 | 08714 714 714 |
