Jackpot FILM Jo Nesbø’s second big screen adaptation (after Morten Tyldum’s rather good Headhunters, released earlier this year) is a tale of blood, betrayal and black, black comedy. So, business as usual then. Selected release from Fri 10 Aug.
Damien Jurado MUSIC The gentle Seattle rocker plays us some plaintive and beautiful tracks from new album Maraqopa. With support from North Carolina psych-folkers Megafaun. The Arches, Glasgow, Thu 16 Aug.
Frankie Boyle COMEDY The species known in Latin as francis controversus emerges from its pupa of hate once again to regale the world with tales of The Last Days of Sodom. Frankie has threatened/promised that this is his last ever stand-up tour, so dinnae miss it. King’s Theatre, Glasgow, Thu 16–Sat 18 Aug.
James McLardy VISUAL ART The culmination of the sculptor’s six week residency at The Duchy is stuffed with examinations of artistic fakery under cheeky titles such as, ‘Putting our finger in the pie, we are the pie and the finger, and the putting.’ The Duchy, Glasgow, until Sat 25 Aug
The Bourne Legacy FILM Matt Damon may be gone, but Jeremy Renner is more than able to fill his shoes. Once again, it’s a fast- paced, stunt-packed story of a super-spy on the run from his paymasters. General release from Mon 13 Aug.
