After
yet another washout bank holiday, just as the
weather doesn't have a ruddy clue what it's doing,
the world of film is looking equally temperamental.
At this perennial time of year where Hollywood
doesn't quite know what to do with itself, as
Samantha Jones once warned: "ladies, it's slim
pickings out there."

The
torrent of Sex and the City trailers may have already
revealed too much, but the special screening at the
Electric
Cinema boasts enough cosmos and canapés to drive
out those wretched spoilers. And even if the early reports
may not be exactly raving, you'd have to be a fool to
miss out. Or a man.
Boys, tired of such girlish cinema tomfoolery? Then
the merest mention of the Barbican's 'Best
of Bond Weekend' should promise both simultaneous
respite and revenge (and yes, there will be martinis
served pre-film; and yes, they will be shaken, so no
need to make more of a fool of yourself).
