| Charming, bitter-sweet debut feature from writer-director Labaki that centres upon the 'Si Belle' beauty parlour in the Lebanese capital and the dramas of the female clientele. The film is impressively acted by a mostly non-professional cast. While there are no references to the on-going strife in Lebanon, this is still a political film, and a tender tribute to female solidarity. | ||

| 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. | ||

| 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 | ||

| 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. | ||

| Leigh returns with a familiar, yet reassuringly different film, an affectionate portrait of carefree 30-something Londoner Poppy (Hawkins) and the minutiae of her everyday life. About everything and nothing, the downtime and the uptime, this is life-affirming stuff. | ||

| Two gobby Dublin criminals bide their time in Bruges, awating instruction from their cryptic and remote gangster boss Harry. Irish playwright McDonagh, in his feature debut, which wrestles some affecting moments from demonstrative characters, nicely teases out the parallels between the trio and Beckett's Vladimir, Estragon and Godot. | ||

| 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. | ||

| 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. | ||

| Beefy mercenary DC (Stevenson) has to get shadowy businessman Hunt (Wadham) into an abandoned bunker in an Eastern European war zone and out again while dodging the undead Nazis. Filmed in Glasgow's Film City Studios and on location in Dumfries, 'Outpost' is an impressively pared down genre flick which borrows from the best. If this is your bag, you won't be disappointed. | ||

| Dysfunctional American family comedy that examines the improbable rejuvenation of widowed English professor Lawrence Wetherhold (Quaid). Contemptuous, irascible, narcissistic and detached from his children (Ashton Holmes and Ellen Page), Wetherhold's feckless adopted brother Chuck (Church) and ER doctor Janet Hartigan (Parker) attempts to rescue him from his isolation are scuppered by the lack of chemistry between the two romantic leads. | ||

| 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. | ||
| Cineworld Renfrew Street, Glasgow | 16 May–22 May 10.30am, 1.30, 4.40 & 8.00; Thu 10.30am, 1.30 & 4.40; Mon 10.30am, 1.30, 5.45 & 8.40 | 0871 200 2000 |

| Spacey plays a professor who teaches six MIT students to card count in this heavy-handed, unfaithful adaptation of Ben Mazrich's book, which was based on the gambling exploits of card shark Jeffrey Ma. This is filmmaking by numbers and it's not a winning formula. | ||

| 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. | ||

| Spurlock's new documentary, in which the campaigner tries to find Osama Bin Laden, is one long ego-trip. Little attempt is made to actually find him; instead Spurlock ventures to Egypt, Morocco, Afghanistan and Pakistan to show how the Muslim population living there are by-and-large ordinary folks concerned with raising their families and making a living. | ||
