The Selfish Giant (15)
(Clio Barnard, 2013, UK) Conner Chapman, Shaun Thomas, Sean Gilder. 91 mins
In the tradition of Kes, or Fish Tank, this offers a child's-eye view of poverty that's too strong for real-life kids of the same age. Despite the fairytale origins, miracles are in short supply in this Bradford suburb, where two drop-out mates scavenge for opportunities. But the balance between harsh realism and mythical lyricism is beautifully struck, and the two leads really are miraculous.
Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa (15)

Old-suited Knoxville and his "grandson" take to the road for Borat-style pranks.
Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs 2 (U)

There appears to be something of a trend in cinema at present to create fairytale’s aimed at grownups, as it seems that amidst the ongoing recession and terror-filled news reports, some good old-fashioned escapism is just what we’re in the mood for. With shades of the likes of Midnight in Paris, The Great Beauty and In The House – Ferzan Ozpetek’s A Magnificent Haunting has a similar enchantment to the aforementioned titles, however where it pales in comparison, is within its distinct lack of wit and satire.
Pietro (Elio Germano) is a 28-year-old aspiring actor, who works part-time at a bakery to make ends meet. Moving to Rome and into a new apartment, he is desperate to turn his dreams into a reality, confiding in his one and only friend in the city, his cousin Maria (Paola Minaccioni).

This is the Pure Movies trailer for Loose Cannons, directed by Ferzan Ozpetek and starring Riccardo Scamarcio, Nicole Grimaudo, Alessandro Preziosi, Ennio Fantastichini, Lunetta Savino, Ilaria Occhini, Elena Sofia Ricci, Bianca Nappi, Massimiliano Gallo, Paola Minaccioni and Crescenza Guarnieri. Celebrated award-winning director Ferzan Özpetek’s outrageous family comedy lifts the lid on a multi-generational household coming to terms with a rapidly modernising world, and the broadening social acceptance that comes with it. No other nationality respects their food and family gatherings with the fervour and zest of the Italians, but when it comes to the Cantone family, some things are better left well away from the dinner table and in the closet!
