Anyone for a movie... or two?
15th-30th October
The Times and the BFI are back with the 52nd London Film Festival showcasing a whole range of new movies to wet your taste buds. The LFF runs from the 15th -30th October and is a film buff's paradise as not only do you get to see screenings of the latest films, but you can also immerse yourself in the educational side of the festival through Q&A's with actors and directors - a highlight of mine is set to be the Tiscali Screen Talks with actor Benicio Del Toro and director Danny Boyle.

Keep Smiling Through at the Cuming Museum
Until 1st November
Being that October is Black History Month, we thought the Keep Smiling Through: Black Londoners on the Home Front 1939-1945 exhibition would be perfect for what's on in October. The exhibition highlights many of the contributions that black Londoners made to the Second World War and will document the voluntary roles on the home front of ordinary black men and women. The exhibition is free, visit www.southwark.gov.uk/cumingmuseum for more information.
Josh Hartnett in Rain Man
Until 20th December
Josh Hartnett attempts to fill the shows of Tom Cruise in the stage version of the popular 80's film, Rain Man and so far he and the rest of the cast have been getting great reviews from the critics. Running from 28th August to the 20th December at the Apollo Theatre in the West End, Harnett plays used car salesman Charlie Babbit and Adam Godley plays his brother Raymond in this modern take that is loosely based on the award winning film. Your girlfriend will be mega impressed if you manage to bag front row seats for this. www.apollo-theatre.co.uk
