Events at Odeon

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.

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, Edinburgh	10 Oct–16 Oct 3.15, 5.30 & 8.15	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, Edinburgh	10 Oct–16 Oct 5.30 & 8.15; Mon & Tue 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, Edinburgh	10 Oct–16 Oct 3.00 & 5.45	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, Edinburgh	10 Oct–16 Oct 3.45, 5.45 & 8.00	0871 22 44 007

The Stone of Destiny (Parent & Baby Screening)

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.

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, Edinburgh	10 Oct–16 Oct 8.10	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.
