✽✽ Toy Story 3 2D (U) ●●●●● (Lee Unkrich, USA, 2010) Voices of
Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusack. 108min. Andy has grown up and is on the way to college, so everyone’s favourite toys are packed off to Sunnyside day-care centre. After a whirlwind of close-cut situations, the film manages to retain its good humour and pathos long enough to bring all the characters safely to a satisfying resolution. General release.
✽✽ Toy Story 3 3D (U) ●●●●● (Lee Unkrich, USA, 2010) Voices of
Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusack. 108min. See above. General release. The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (12A) ●●●●● (David Slade, US, 2010) Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner. 123min. The epic relationship between Bella (Stewart) and undead Edward (Pattinson) falters when her new lupine friend Jacob (Lautner) is added to the mix. Will humans, vampires and werewolves ever get on? The fun of Twilight is seeing this situation treated as though it is of life- shattering importance. Selected release. Undertow (Contracorriente) (15) ●●●●● (Javier Fuentes-León, Peru/Colombia/France/Germany, 2009) Cristian Mercado, Tatiana Astengo, Manolo Cardona. 100min. Peruvian fisherman Miguel (Mercado) manages to balance a pregnant wife (Astengo) and a male lover (Cardona) until it all goes pear- shaped and his bit on the side disappears. Although director Fuentes-León doesn’t immediately resort to simple resolutions, disappointingly we are still never far from cliché or whimsy. Glasgow Film Theatre; Cameo, Edinburgh. Welcome (15) ●●●●● (Phillippe Lioret, France, 2009) Vincent Lindon, Firat Ayverdi, Audrey Dana. 109min. The plight of the immigrant and the viciousness of casual racism are the backdrop for this warm and engrossing drama about Bilal (Ayverdi), a young Iraqi refugee on his way to England who enlists the help of a former Olympic swimmer to help him swim the Channel. A European Parliament presentation. Filmhouse, Edinburgh. Whatever Works (12A) ●●●●● (Woody Allen, US, 2009) Ed Begley Jr, Patricia Clarkson, Larry David. 91min. David plays a misanthropic nuclear physicist whose life is suddenly changed when a naïve runaway waif from the Deep South (Wood) turns up on his doorstep. Promising beginnings give way in the second half and this doesn’t quite amount to the comedy delight that aficionados of Jewish humour may hanker after. Cameo, Edinburgh. Wild Grass (Les Herbes Folles) (12A) ●●●●● (Alain Resnais, France, 2009) Sabine Azema, Andre Dussollier, Emmanuelle Devos, Mathieu Amalric. 103min. Adapted from Christian Gailly’s novel The Incident, Wild Grass follows the burgeoning amour fou between Georges (Dussollier) and Marguerite (Azema) after he recovers her stolen purse in a parking lot. The giddiness of the affair is reflected in the soaring camerawork, while the titular wild grass becomes a recurrent motif, showing how passion flourishes even in ordinary worlds. Glasgow Film Theatre. Wild Target (12A) ●●●●● (Jonanhan Lynn, UK/France, 2010) Bill Nighy, Emily Blunt, Eileen Atkins. 90min. Unconvincing and unfunny remake of 1994 French farce about a middle-aged hitman (Nighy) who finds his professional routine upset by the feelings he develops for his latest target, kooky thief Rose (Blunt). Empire, Clydebank; Cameo, Edinburgh. William McLaren – An Artist Out of Time (U) ●●●●● (Jim Hickey, UK, 2009) 51min. Documenting the life and work of Scottish artist William McLaren – from simple beginnings in the 1920s in a mining town to the creation of work for some of the finest private houses and public buildings in the UK. This screening will be followed by Jim Hickey’s short film And So Goodbye. Glasgow Film Theatre.
