A Dangerous Game (PG)
A Dangerous Game (PG)
HHHH
Dir: Anthony Baxter
Runtime: 102 minutes
ANTHONY Baxter follows up You've Been Trumped, his look at The Donald's building of a golf course in Aberdeenshire, with another blistering documentary. Broadening out to take in course development across the world, Baxter assembles an impressive array of talking heads, including 30 Rock's Alec Baldwin, but the highlight has to be the sit-down with Donald Trump himself. A Dangerous Game shows Baxter safely ensconced in the Rory McIlroy league of filmmakers.
Cineworld and Picturehouse cinemas in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Dundee, Perth, Falkirk and Aberfeldy.
The Guest (15)
HHH
Dir: Adam Wingard
With: Dan Stevens, Candice Patton
Runtime: 100 minutes
DOWNTON Abbey's Dan Stevens leaves cousin Matthew far behind for this genre-blending thriller by the writers-directors of You're Next. Stevens plays David, recently home from Iraq and keen to visit the still grieving family of a former brother-in-arms. He would like to pay his condolences, but is that all he wants? Stevens is a revelation in a film that keeps its tongue firmly in its cheek and largely gets away with it.
See The Herald tomorrow for an interview with Dan Stevens.
Sex Tape (15)
H
Dir: Jake Kasdan
With: Jason Segel, Cameron Diaz
Runtime: 94 minutes
IT IS probably a given that this comedy about a couple who film themselves having sex, only to have the tape find its way on to the internet, is charmless. That it should be laugh-free is more of a pain in the iPad. Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel take a very thin idea about a marriage in the sexual doldrums and try to stretch it from here to infinity. Only Apple, whose devices are plugged mercilessly throughout, could have a smile on its face after this.
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
