Grant’s Film Club – Friday, July 4

This week at the movies there is plenty to satisfy both adults and children with the latest instalment in the animated Ice Age franchise and Michael Mann’s latest action-thriller Public Enemies starring Johnny Depp.

It’s been seven years since the movie which made famous Sid, Manny, Diego, and of course, the Scrat, now Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs is hitting cinema screens across the UK.

According to STV’s film correspondent Grant Lauchlan, this latest sequel features computer animation which provides a feast of visual treats to rival its Pixar contemporaries, which is enhanced by the 3D experience.

This time Manny and Diego are on a mission to save Sid the sloth from a magical dinosaur world beneath the snow, joined by a host of new creatures and characters, including a dinosaur-hunting weasel, voiced by Simon Pegg.

In the action-thriller Public Enemies, acclaimed Heat and Collateral filmmaker Michael Mann directs Johnny Depp, Christian Bale, and Oscar-winner Marion Cotillard in the true story of legendary Depression-era bank robber John Dillinger.

The charismatic ganster’s lightning raids made him the number one target of J. Edgar Hoover's fledgling FBI and its top agent, Melvin Purvis.

Grant said: “Technically brilliant and with some charismatic performances, the film focuses on the political mood of the era, the violence and the tommy gun action, which is intense but never thrilling. And that kind of sums up the movie.”

This week in the Film Club you could be in with a chance of winning copies of the multi Oscar-nominated Doubt, starring Meryl Streep, Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Amy Adams. In the film Streep plays a traditional thinking nun who starts a personal crusade against a charismatic and popular priest who may or may not be guilty of abusing a pupil at the school.

We're also giving away a five sets of Public Enemy goodie bags.
