Director Jim Loach discusses Oranges and Sunshine.

Director Jim Loach discusses Oranges and Sunshine, which tells the story of a social worker who uncovered one of the most significant social scandals in recent history.

Source Code We review what may be the first great Hollywood action movie of the year - the critically acclaimed action thriller starring Source Code featuring Jake Gyllenhall as a soldier who wakes up in the body of an unknown man and discovers he's part of a mission to find the bomber of a Chicago commuter train. 

Oranges and Sunshine - Director Jim Loach discusses Oranges & Sunshine which tells the story of Margaret Humphreys, a social worker from Nottingham, who uncovered one of the most significant social scandals in recent times: the organised deportation of children in care from the United Kingdom to Australia. Almost single-handedly, against overwhelming odds and with little regard for her own well-being, Margaret reunited thousands of families, brought authorities to account and worldwide attention to an extraordinary miscarriage of justice.

'With Kids' - A year ago 'With Kids' set-up their own cinema in their drop in centre in Dennistoun. Since then they've been showing movies to the community for free. The Movie Café's Paul Saunders went along to the most recent Cinema Night to see how it all works. 

Our DVD Pick of the Week is John Cassavetes classic, Minnie and Moskowitz - the most accessible, and endearing example of his very exceptional art. 

And finally The Italian Film Festival - A preview of the eagerly-awaited annual celebration of Italian cinema returns to Scotland this April from 1 to 14 April in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Dundee.
