The Lake House
IN 1994's Speed, Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves had to race against time in an out-of-control bus. Reunited for this gentle romance, they've got temporal troubles all over again: this time, they're correspondents who fall in love by letter only to discover that they exist two years apart. Good luck to them - although two years is unambitious time-travelling, if you ask me. Keanu got a lot further back when he was in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.

Just My Luck
CAN Lindsay Lohan cut it as a grown-up movie star? Well, not if she keeps making showcase movies for British teen pop bands. She's certainly dressed like an adult here - that's no little girl's figure she's flashing - but she's also sharing the screen with the band McFly, who are trying to get noticed across the pond. She's a spoiled princess whose luck runs out; cute Chris Pine is the loser who helps her get it back.

Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead Man's Chest
EXPECT lovable loopiness from Johnny Depp, reprising his much-loved turn as Captain Jack Sparrow in one of the big-bucks sequels of the summer. Also on board is the wonderful Bill Nighy, funny-faced Office star Mackenzie Crook and scary Scandinavian Stellan Skarsgard. Cheekbones and pouting by Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom.

Superman Returns
BRAVE people bring you the new-fangled Superman. Brave because, as everyone knows, the entire franchise is cursed, and will be their destruction. It has already taken 10 years to come to fruition, and rattled through a laundry list of "attached" directors and stars. Actors who nearly donned the tights include Paul Walker, Ashton Kutcher and Brendan Fraser. The final choice is Brendan Routh.

DISPARATE events and people whose stories mesh due to pivotal car accidents? Hmm. Amores Perros, anyone? Crash? The gimmick of Greg Marcks's comic thriller has been done to death in the time it's been hanging around waiting for a UK release (it was finished in 2003). Still, forgive the familiarity and it's an entertaining thing, with fun performances from Hilary Swank, pictured, Patrick Swayze and Ben Foster.

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
