Bitterness aside (yes, we too were not on the pulse fast enough to bag tickets before their price sky-rocketed), we are rather enjoying the bitch fight that is ‘should Ewan McGregor have been cast as Iago in the Donmar Warehouse’s production of Othello?’ Bloomberg, while slightly disappointed by McGregor’s under-emphasis of evil intent, are definitely the most complimentary of his performance: Fortunately, Ewan McGregor gives a very creditable performance -- codpiece and all ... The......

If you’re a fan of musicals then you probably think the bigger the better. In which case you must pop down to the BFI Imax, where their After-Dark All-Nighter event will be screening four modern musicals on the trot on Saturday 8th December. First off the bat is 1980’s high school classic Fame at 11.15pm where the students of the New York High School for Performing Arts discover sex and show tunes. For those......

This week - The Spartans resist Persian domination (300) and Carmen Electra shoots a British porno (I Want Candy). First up, a film that went straight to the top of the box office chart in the USA, made a hatload and has angered some Iranians, 300. First of all, you'll want to read our own review. What do you mean that wasn't enough for you? What do you mean you want to hear from......

A man was arrested yesterday afternoon in south east London as part of a major investigation into 'alleged international terrorism'. On Monday three other men were arrested in Hackney as part of the same investigation. Mayor Ken has announced his plans for an architecture and urban design unit which will "support the delivery of world-class architecture and sustainable and inclusive design across London’s built environment." Talking of which: Colliers Wood Tower has been voted......

Looks like it's going to be beautiful weather this weekend, and thank all relevant deities for that because there's a bundle of outdoor frolics to be had this coming Saturday and Sunday. Start the weekend early with Moulin Rouge, showing free this Friday at The Scoop as part of the More Movies season on Friday night. Trip along after work with cushions, a picnic and extra points go to whoever starts a sing along......

You may have tripped over and fallen into it once, you may have been wandering by and thought "ooh, I bet that place would be good for an outdoor film screening in the summer." And you wouldn't be the only one... The Scoop is the sunken amphitheatre situated next to City Hall and looks a lot like a set of curved stairs leading down to a level, empty space. It is the More London......

We love The Scoop. It's the great little amphitheatre on the South Bank where we can nestle under Ken's Testicle like enlightened crab lice and watch FREE stuff. The full list of events isn't up yet, but there's a decent mix of classic and crowd pleasing films showing through most of June at 9.15pm: Brief Encounter Chinatown Moulin Rouge Some Like It Hot Blowup Walk the Line The Wicker Man Alien Nine Queens Dr......

Cripes, we not really sure where to start. So many exhibitions and only 31 days to see them all in – just remember to pack your brolly because looking outside it seems winter is here again. Tomorrow marks the opening of Edvard Munch by Himself at the Royal Academy. There are over 150 works on display, mostly self-portraits, that span the stylistic and psychological changes he went through during in his career. To put......

Something strange is happening down here in the Londonist dungeon. Editro's decreed the Londonistas wear nothing but leather jerkins, pvc crotch high boots and 'plug in' horses tails. Everyone's getting a little hot under the collar: the news team are a tad friskier than usual (which is pretty damn frisky ladies and gentlemen) and the literary guys are arguing the relative merits of The Story Of O as a life style choice. It can......

London has more corners, and secrets, than anyone could imagine; every now and then, visionaries latch onto one neglected aspect of it and bring it to general attention, in the process transforming our view of the city we thought we knew so well. Of late, the National Theatre has been rich with that sort of insight. Who really noticed, or cared about, the theatre's flytower until they struck on the idea of projecting films......
