A New York Winter's Tale (12A)
A New York Winter's Tale (12A)
A star cast fails to compensate for this very silly fairy story, in which angels and demons battle it out in New York. Colin Farrell is a thief in the early 1900s, who falls in love with a wealthy young woman (Jessica Brown Findlay) who is dying of consumption. While he is convinced he can save her, the city's preeminent demon (Russell Crowe) is determined to kill them both. William Hurt adds a touching turn as the woman's press baron father, Jennifer Connolly a teary one when the story flashes forward to the present day. Appalling dialogue doesn't help an unlikely premise.
Stalingrad (3D) (15)
Russia's first IMAX 3D production steamrollers its way to our shores, having broken box office records in Russia and China. Set during the German siege of Stalingrad in 1942, its David and Goliath approach focuses on a small band of Russian soldiers holed up in an apartment building, from where they attempt to keep the far superior Nazi forces at bay - while protecting the block's one surviving resident.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
