Underdog (U)
2.30pm 1hr 24mins
A bomb-sniffing beagle is fired from the mayor's office for a faux pas. That night a mad scientist dognaps him and injects him with an elixir. The dog escapes, but now has superpowers. He's adopted by a security guard - an ex-cop, who's a widower with a moody teen son, Jack. The boy discovers that the dog, named Shoeshine by dad, has super powers, but it's their little secret. While Underdog saves people in distress, the mad scientist and his underling continue their plot to catch him and take over the city. There's also a girl Jack likes who has a dog that Shoeshine takes a shine to. Will every dog have his day?
No Country For Old Men (15)
7.30pm 2hrs
“No Country for Old Men” tells the story of a drug deal gone wrong and the ensuing cat-and-mouse drama, as three men crisscross each other's paths in the desert landscape of 1980West Texas. The film melds the themes of fate and circumstance the Coens have previously used in Blood Simple and Fargo with the novel's motifs of chance, free-will, and determinism.
Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun – Times called it "as good a film as the Coen brothers... have ever made A Guardian journalist said the film proved "that the Coens' technical abilities, and their feel for a landscape-based Western classicism reminiscent of Anthony Mann and Sam Peckinpah, are matched by few living directors. The film was honored with numerous awards, garnering four Academy Awards (including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay), three British Academy of Film Awards

Johnson & Boswell – Late But Live
Written by TV Comedian Stewart Lee this side-splitting show features Balimory Star Miles Jupp and star of comedy at Edinburgh Festival Fringe Simon Munnery. This show is a superb opportunity to see quality comedy outside of the Fringe and in the Borders. “Much may be made of a Scotchman, if he be caught young.” (Samuel Johnson). “In England you have better horses, and in Scotland we have better men.” (James Boswell). A combination of stand-up and storytelling - “this is a spellbinding, giggle-engendering hour”. The Scotsman.
