Events at Vue Hamilton

The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas

Location	Date	Tickets
	Bruno (Butterfield) is the nine-year old son of a Nazi Commandant (Thewlis). When his father is seconded to manage a concentration camp, the lonely Bruno makes a new friend, Schmuel (Scanlon), beyond the high wire. Badly acted and clumsily directed, this liberal-guilt-monger-sweeping-cod-historical-nonsense is simply unnecessary.
Vue Hamilton, Hamilton	17 Oct–19 Oct Fri–Sun 11.20am	08712 240 240

Burn After Reading

Location	Date	Tickets
	Foul-mouthed CIA analyst Osbourne (Malkovich) quits his job after being demoted. Across town at Osbourne's gym, slow-witted employees Chad (Pitt) and Linda (McDormand) happen upon one of his discs. A shaggy, punctured tyre blackmail thriller entails with the requisite outbreaks of shock tactic violence and absurdist plotting.

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.
Vue Hamilton, Hamilton	17 Oct–21 Oct Fri–Tue 12.00, 2.10 & 4.20	08712 240 240

Death Race

Location	Date	Tickets
	Rehashed elements from Roger Corman's 70s 'Death Race 2000' with Statham as Jensen Ames, who is forced by prison warden Hennessey (Allen) to take part in a three stage Death Race on pay-per-view television. The chase sequences are satisfying and Allen clearly enjoys some action-movie slumming, director Anderson's reboot is predictably stripped of the anarchic humour and political sideswipes of the original.
Vue Hamilton, Hamilton	17 Oct–18 Oct Fri & Sat 11.20	08712 240 240

Eagle Eye

Location	Date	Tickets
	An anonymous voice on photocopy shop worker Jerry's (LaBoeuf) mobile phone starts depositing large amounts of money in his bank account, accompanied by large amounts of bomb-making equipment in his flat. Cue razzle-dazzle car-chases and foot pursuits with agreeable intensity.
Vue Hamilton, Hamilton	17 Oct–23 Oct Sun–Tue 12.10, 2.40, 5.30 & 8.20; Thu 11.30am, 2.10, 5.00 & 7.30; Fri & Sat 12.10, 2.40, 5.30, 8.20 & 11.10; Wed 11.30am, 2.10, 5.00, 7.30 & 10.20	08712 240 240

The Fox and the Child

Location	Date	Tickets
	A giggly eight-year-old French child (Noël-Bruneau) strikes up a friendship with a fox she meets on the way home from school. This marks a step forward in narrative storytelling for Jacquet, who successfully depicts the fox as a wild and uncontrolled force in a non-Disney manner. An often beguiling account of how mankind and animals can exist in harmony.
Vue Hamilton, Hamilton	18 Oct–19 Oct Sat & Sun 10.30am	08712 240 240

High School Musical 3: Senior Year

Location	Date	Tickets
	This time high school seniors Troy (Efron) and Gabriella (Hudgens) prepare for separation before they head off to different colleges by staging an elaborate spring musical. Every bit as nauseating as it sounds (unless you are a child under its shamanistic powers), 'HSM 3' does, however, take advantage of the big screen format with some impressive ensemble music and dance numbers.
Vue Hamilton, Hamilton	22 Oct–23 Oct Wed 10.00am, 10.30am, 12.00, 12.40, 1.20, 2.40, 3.20, 4.10, 5.20, 6.00, 7.00, 8.00, 8.40, 9.50 & 10.40; Thu 10.00am, 10.30am, 12.00, 12.40, 1.20, 2.40, 3.20, 4.10, 5.20, 6.00, 7.00, 8.00, 8.40 & 9.50	08712 240 240

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.
Vue Hamilton, Hamilton	17 Oct–23 Oct Fri & Sat 11.00am, 1.20, 3.40, 6.10 & 8.30; Sun 11.00am, 3.40, 6.10 & 8.30; Mon 1.20, 3.40, 6.10 & 8.30; Tue 1.20, 3.40 & 8.30; Wed & Thu 10.40am, 1.00, 3.40, 6.20 & 8.50	08712 240 240

The House Bunny (Subtitled)

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.
Vue Hamilton, Hamilton	19 Oct–21 Oct Sun 1.20; Tue 6.10	08712 240 240

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.
Vue Hamilton, Hamilton	17 Oct–21 Oct Fri–Tue 6.30 & 8.50	08712 240 240

Igor

Location	Date	Tickets
	Hunchbacked Igor (voiced by Cusack) ekes out his precarious existence as humble servant to the sinister Dr Glickenstein (Cleese), an evil genius set on winning the annual evil science fair in the badass province of Malaria. But Igor bravely decides to enter the competiton himself and enters his Bride of Frankenstein-style creation called Eva (Molly Shannon). Decent but uninspired animation.
Vue Hamilton, Hamilton	17 Oct–23 Oct Fri, Sat & Sun 10.50am, 1.10, 3.20 & 5.40; Mon & Tue 1.10, 3.20 & 5.40; Wed & Thu 11.40am & 1.50	08712 240 240

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.
Vue Hamilton, Hamilton	17 Oct–23 Oct Fri & Sat 1.40; Sun & Mon 1.40 & 6.50; Tue 6.50; Wed & Thu 10.10am, 12.30 & 3.00	08712 240 240

Mamma Mia! (Sing-a-Long)

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. With subtitled song lyrics to keep your audience participation word-perfect.
Vue Hamilton, Hamilton	17 Oct–18 Oct Fri & Sat 6.50	08712 240 240

Mirrors

Location	Date	Tickets
	This 'Into the Mirror' remake 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.

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.
Vue Hamilton, Hamilton	17 Oct–18 Oct Fri & Sat 10.50	08712 240 240

The Rocker

Location	Date	Tickets
	Despite being a conscientious and passionate big haired 'soft-cock rock' drummer, Fish (Wilson) is dumped by 80s legends Vesuvius on the eve of their signing to a big label. Twenty years on he agrees to be the drummer for his nephew's band ADD, and they soon set out on tour. Dysfunctional, charmless and deeply sexless stuff.
Vue Hamilton, Hamilton	17 Oct–23 Oct Fri & Sat 11.30am, 1.50, 4.10, 6.40, 9.00 & 11.30; Sun 11.30am, 1.50, 4.10, 6.40 & 9.00; Mon & Tue 1.50, 4.10, 6.40 & 9.00; Wed 11.50am, 2.20, 5.10, 7.40 & 10.10; Thu 11.50am, 2.20, 5.10 & 7.40	08712 240 240

Space Chimps

Location	Date	Tickets
	On the whim of a sinister senator (Tucci), Ham III (Samberg) - the circus performer grandson of one of the first chimpanzees in space is sent into orbit to retrieve a missing satellite. With endless monkey and banana puns and bog-standard animation, 'Space Chimps' is strictly for easily pleased little monkeys.
Vue Hamilton, Hamilton	17 Oct–19 Oct Fri, Sat & Sun 10.15am	08712 240 240

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.
Vue Hamilton, Hamilton	17 Oct–21 Oct Sun, Mon & Tue 7.50; Fri & Sat 7.50 & 10.30	08712 240 240

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.
Vue Hamilton, Hamilton	17 Oct–23 Oct Mon & Tue 12.05, 2.20, 4.45, 7.00 & 9.10; Sun 2.20, 4.45, 7.00 & 9.10; Wed 8.10 & 10.30; Thu 8.10; Fri & Sat 2.20, 4.45, 7.00, 9.10 & 11.40	08712 240 240

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.
Vue Hamilton, Hamilton	17 Oct–21 Oct Fri–Tue 4.30 & 9.20	08712 240 240

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.
Vue Hamilton, Hamilton	17 Oct–19 Oct Fri–Sun 11.10am	08712 240 240

Wild Child

Location	Date	Tickets
	This vacuous rehash of teen movie clichés presents Californian brat Poppy, a foul-mouthed and obnoxious Malibu-mite who is shipped off to a posh boarding school in England in the hope that she learn that values and price-tags are not the same thing. Another dog-eared slice of Working Title crapola aimed squarely at the dumbest of US teens.
