The Waterfront

Events at The Waterfront

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.
The Waterfront, Greenock	10 Oct–16 Oct 5.30 & 8.00; Sat–Thu 2.00, 5.30 & 8.00	01475 732201

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.
The Waterfront, Greenock	10 Oct–16 Oct 8.00	01475 732201

Igor

Location	Date	Tickets
	Animated story about a hunchbacked evil scientist's assistant who aspires to become a scientist himself.
The Waterfront, Greenock	10 Oct–16 Oct 6.00; Sat–Thu 2.15 & 6.00	01475 732201

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.
The Waterfront, Greenock	11 Oct–16 Oct Sat–Thu 2.05	01475 732201

Kung Fu Panda

Location	Date	Tickets
	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'.
The Waterfront, Greenock	11 Oct–16 Oct Sat–Thu 2.10	01475 732201

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.
The Waterfront, Greenock	10 Oct–16 Oct 5.45	01475 732201

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.
The Waterfront, Greenock	10 Oct–16 Oct 6.10 & 8.10	01475 732201

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.
