Set on a remote island in the middle of the Atlantic, based loosely on the real island of Tristan da Cunha, Further Than the Furthest Thing tells the story of a small community isolated from the world beyond the ocean.

When an apparently dormant volcano becomes active, the inhabitants are forced to flee their homes in search of a new life. Arriving in a place of industry and progress, the islanders are soon put to work and must quickly adapt to their new surroundings. Can they ever return to their island? The truth will slowly unravel and life will never be the same again. Contains strong language and partial nudity.

As the owner of the Titanic Pizza Restaurant in Carnoustie, Marie says 'I nominated Titanic 3D to commemorate the 100th anniversary this April and to celebrate the release of the 3D version. I am very excited to be seeing it on the big screen again, but as it's 3D I'll be watching in waterproofs!' Who can forget the first time they saw Leonard DiCaprio and Kate Winslet standing on the edge of the majestic Titanic, with their hair flapping in the wind and the sounds of James Horner's soundtrack in the background?

The most luxurious liner of the era, the ship carried over 1,500 people to their deaths on 15 April 1912. Rose is a 17-year-old upper-class American who falls for a free-spirited young steerage passenger named Jack. When he opens her eyes to the world that lies outside her gilded cage, their forbidden

Salmon Fishing in the Yemen (tbc) @ Dundee Contemporary Arts Cinema

Publish date: 2012-4-27 12:00 Posted by Dundee Contemporary Arts Cinema

There's no better man than Lasse Hallstrom to bring Paul Torday's bestselling novel Salmon Fishing in the Yemen to the big screen. A story dependent on faith and trust is perfect for the Swedish filmmaker, who has a long filmography of charming, warm-hearted relationship films (My Life as a Dog, Chocolat, What's Eating Gilbert Grape). Ewan McGregor is Fred Jones, a fisheries expert who is approached by Harriet Chetwode-Talbot (the always engaging Emily Blunt) with an outrageous plan - to introduce salmon into the waterways of Yemen for the purpose of sport fishing. Fred claims it's impossible but the enthusiasm of Harriet's boss, a sheikh who fulfils his love of fishing on frequent trips to the Scottish highlands, is infectious. When Fred is encouraged by the prime minister's spokesperson, Bridget Maxwell (Kristin Scott Thomas), to take the job, he soon finds himself working in the arid land of Yemen. With Harriet at his side, Fred begins to believe that impossible dreams really can come true. Hallstrom seems attracted to unashamedly romantic stories and we love him all the more for it. He brings a golden glow and a sense of real adventure to this story which celebrates some grea
