Meantime and The Nomad’s Summer Cinema weekend of classic films under the stars with London’s favourite beers kicks off with Christopher Nolan’s (The Dark Knight, Inception) now-legendary early feature, starring Guy Pearce as a man desperately trying to piece together his past. Despite looking disconcertingly like Tim-nice-but-dim, Christopher Nolan is the current king of cerebral mainstream [...]

TIME BANDITS (PG) - THE OLD ROYAL NAVAL COLLEGE - LONDON - 9 July 2011

Meantime and The Nomad’s Summer Cinema weekend of classic films under the stars with London’s finest beers continues with Terry Gilliam’s wonderful, time-travelling, dwarf-championing romp.

THE KING’S SPEECH (12A) - WALMER CASTLE - 20 July 2011

“Let the microphone do the work, sir” The British public can never be trusted with their cinema-going habits. Apart from the box office bashing caused by each Harry Potter, a film comes along every 5 years or so that sees folk young and old pouring into the nation’s multiplexes; sometimes we’re hoodwinked (The English Patient, [...]

RAGING BULL (18) - YORK HALL - BETHNAL GREEN - 21 July 2011

So give me a stage / Where this bull here can rage / And though I could fight / I’d much rather recite /… that’s entertainment. We all know Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro still love each other. Although Marty’s been seen around town with a little lady called Leo a lot recently, we [...]

At Brockwell Lido. There might be a submarine. And swamp leeches. And a jaguar shark. The second of our [...]
