Movie Buff
Watch your flicks in style

I love going to the cinema. I laugh, I cry, I scream, I shout.

But lately I've become addicted to posh cinemas. The kind that makes you feel like it's a real occasion.

A mixed bill of feisty dance works and short films at the RFH with Skin Shakers. 8pm. Belvedere Rd, SE1. £12. 020 7960 4242.
It's Thursday, so it's Yo-Yo You're-Only-Young-Once time at Cherry Jam with DJ Seb Chew and mate Leo Greenslade. 6pm-2am. 58 Porchester Rd, W2. £5 (free before 8pm).

Enough already of the Electric Cinema! We all know it's really cool there,
but other theaters are thankfully starting to follow suit, offering their clientele a little more than Revels and large Coke.

For instance, did you know that One Aldwych has a fabulous, intimate screening room? On Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening you can have an aperitif and three course dinner in one of the restaurants and then head for the screening room to watch a movie – all for about £35. Sunday matinees include the requisite bloody mary and brunch before the film.

Or how about the Curzon Mayfair which has just had it's first make-over (about time for the 66 year-old theatre). It now has a second screen and a new bar. While her sister, the Soho Curzon, is closed for her own re-vamp, the Mayfair screens are showing the double bill Sunday Rep's and as ever a selection of choice foreign and independent movies.

Just remember to shut your mobile off.

One Aldwych - Call Axis restaurant on 020 7300 0300 or email for dinner and movies on Friday and Saturday. Call Indigo restaurant on 020 7300 0400 or email for dinner or brunch and movies on Sunday.

Curzon Cinemas - Box office 020 7495 0500
