Events at Odeon Wester Hailes

City of Ember

Location	Date	Tickets
	Students from the amazing underground city of Ember go through a series of adventures in order to sustain their special secret world for another 200 years. Ho-hum but visually impressive children's adventure sci-fi.
Odeon Wester Hailes, Edinburgh	10 Oct–16 Oct 3.00, 5.30 & 7.45; Sat & Sun 12.30, 3.00, 5.30 & 7.45	0871 22 44 007

Flashbacks of a Fool (Senior Screening)

Location	Date	Tickets
	Set in present-day California and an English seaside resort circa 1972, Joe Scott (Craig between Bond outings), is a washed up Hollywood star who recalls a traumatic teenage experience that leads to professional success and personal self-destruction. Good supporting performances and rather pedestrian flashbacks make for an interesting, if not outstanding drama about the repercussions of childhood folly.
Odeon Wester Hailes, Edinburgh	14 Oct Tue 11.30am	0871 22 44 007

The House Bunny

Location	Date	Tickets
	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.
Odeon Wester Hailes, Edinburgh	10 Oct–16 Oct 3.15, 5.45 & 8.30; Sat & Sun 12.30, 3.15, 5.45 & 8.30	0871 22 44 007

The House Bunny (Parent & Baby Screening)

Location	Date	Tickets
	Predictably pitiful comedy about a recently unemployed 'Playboy' mansion bunny Shelly ( Farris) who goes to college. Formulaic 'Legally Blond' style comedy which still manages to raise a few laughs.
Odeon Wester Hailes, Edinburgh	14 Oct Tue 11.30am	0871 22 44 007

How to Lose Friends and Alienate People

Location	Date	Tickets
	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.
Odeon Wester Hailes, Edinburgh	10 Oct–16 Oct 8.15	0871 22 44 007

Igor

Location	Date	Tickets
	Animated story about a hunchbacked evil scientist's assistant who aspires to become a scientist himself.
Odeon Wester Hailes, Edinburgh	10 Oct–16 Oct 3.30 & 6.15; Sat & Sun 1.00, 3.30 & 6.15	0871 22 44 007

Journey To The Center of The Earth

Location	Date	Tickets
	Enjoyably silly adventure based on the classic Jules Verne novel starring Fraser ('The Mummy') as a science professor whose renegade theories are held in contempt by the academic community. On an expedition in Iceland, he stumbles upon a discovery that is to be the beginning of his journey deep beneath the Earth's surface.
Odeon Wester Hailes, Edinburgh	11 Oct Sat 11.30am	0871 22 44 007

Mamma Mia!

Location	Date	Tickets
	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. The popularity of films like this certainly make one wonder about the rampancy of mental illness in our culture.
Odeon Wester Hailes, Edinburgh	10 Oct–16 Oct 3.45 & 6.00; Sat & Sun 1.15, 3.45 & 6.00	0871 22 44 007

Mirrors

Location	Date	Tickets
	This 'Into the Mirror' re-make features Sutherland in full Jack Bauer mode as an ex-cop who turns security guard to patrol the scorched interiors of a fire-gutted New York hotel. Having accidentally shot his partner in the line of duty, alcoholic Carson soon begins to hallucinate that an evil force behind the hotel's mirrors is after his family.

Mirrors (Subtitled)

Location	Date	Tickets
	This 'Into the Mirror' re-make features Sutherland in full Jack Bauer mode as an ex-cop who turns security guard to patrol the scorched interiors of a fire-gutted New York hotel. Having accidentally shot his partner in the line of duty, alcoholic Carson soon begins to hallucinate that an evil force behind the hotel's mirrors is after his family.
Odeon Wester Hailes, Edinburgh	13 Oct–16 Oct Mon 2.30; Wed 5.15; Thu 8.00	0871 22 44 007

Nights in Rodanthe

Location	Date	Tickets
	Unhappily married Adrienne (Lane) and an emotionally confused doctor (Gere) are drawn together when a storm closes in on the North Carolina hotel. Schmaltzy, dreary and tedious second-chance romancer based on a novel by Nicholas Sparks.
Odeon Wester Hailes, Edinburgh	10 Oct–16 Oct 3.00, 5.30 & 7.45; Sat & Sun 12.30, 3.00, 5.30 & 7.45	0871 22 44 007

The Stone of Destiny

Location	Date	Tickets
	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.
Odeon Wester Hailes, Edinburgh	10 Oct–16 Oct 2.45, 5.15 & 8.00	0871 22 44 007

Taken

Location	Date	Tickets
	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.
Odeon Wester Hailes, Edinburgh	10 Oct–16 Oct 3.45, 6.00 & 8.30	0871 22 44 007

Tropic Thunder

Location	Date	Tickets
	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.
Odeon Wester Hailes, Edinburgh	10 Oct–16 Oct 8.15	0871 22 44 007

WALL-E

Location	Date	Tickets
	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.
Odeon Wester Hailes, Edinburgh	11 Oct–12 Oct Sat & Sun 1.15	0871 22 44 007
