Time Out says

Tue Apr 9 2013 True to their name, the notoriously tight-lipped team behind Secret Cinema won’t say a word about what to expect from the hugely popular film series’ twentieth instalment – beyond promising ‘the biggest cultural event of the year’. We can’t promise it will be that, exactly, but we can tell you Secret Cinema never fail in providing an exceedingly impressive alternative night out.
The film and theme is kept hush-hush until the day, but expect to see live music and DJs, hundreds of actors who recreate the film as you stumble across the set, food stalls and impressive set decoration. The effort these guys go to is definitely worth the ticket price, even at a hefty £43.50. Booking is most definitely essential.

Beginning at the Beginning

Spent last weekend at the movies - the Nomad in Holland Park in the tented opera house on Friday and Sunday to see Some Like it Hot, on the former, and the wonderful Cinema Paradiso on the latter.  Both played to cinema loving full houses.  Comfortable and fun and pretty unexpectedly luxurious!  Then on to my favourite cinema club, the Lexi in Kensal Rise on the Saturday to see the well reviewed Beginners.  Best ever performance from Ewan who plays a guy mixed up emotionally by his father's decision to 'come out' following his mother's death shortly followed by his own.  But the film is a little 'cutsey' spending too much time on the blonde romantic aspects and less on the decision of the father which has long term consequences on those he leaves behind.  Despite these reservations, this is a film worth getting the DVD for (when it comes out!) whatever your leanings ....
