What's On - July
Yes, it may be summer, but it appears that the threat of some decent weather hasn't sated anyone's appetite for sitting inside in darkened rooms watching flickering images on screens, as this month's bumper crop of cinema releases, revivals and double bills attests.
Releases this month include: Predators, Inception, plus SFL9 Opening Night Film: Splice. There's a choice of Teen Wolf or The Lost Boys at Curzon's Midnight Movies, The Royal Society's Festival Of Science + Arts kicks into gear at the Southbank Centre (- now with added Pterosaurs!), plus there's the science of ice cream explained, at the Science Museum's Dana Centre.
Yum!
