Matt Damon may not be the most charismatic Hollywood hunk around but he does suppressed emotion and brooding profile jolly well and his amnesiac assassin turn in the Bourne Trilogy is total brainless, Saturday night all action fare. So brace yourselves, because our friends at the BFI IMAX are showing not only all 3 Bourne films back to back in their all-nighter on 23 August but they're throwing in Team America: World Police as......

Day 15: Still no closer to Mordor. Ring weighs a tonne. Really wish I had stayed at home - just cannot be bothered with this sodding quest. Day 24: Legolas sings Elvish songs to keep up our spirits. Makes me sick, the way he prances about on top of the snow. I'm the shortest person on this sodding quest, I don't think it's funny when I'm slogging away behind him, chest high in piles of......

The London Lesbian and Gay Film Festival is nearly here and to celebrate, we've got a pair of tickets to give away for the BFI IMAX's All Night Musicals on Saturday 29 March. The 70s themed line up of films gets incrementally camper, and the costumes get more outrageous, the later it gets. The recent Dreamgirls movie opens the bill, followed by 80s-tastic dance and drama spectacle, A Chorus Line (based on the 1970s......

Lets face it, everybody loves a bit of zombie, there’s something oddly loveable about the undead as they lumber about feasting on flesh and being generally hungry. So what could possibly be better than a whole night of zombies on the truly massive and awe-inspiring screen that is the BFI IMAX? Absolutely nothing that’s what. The perfect date night in fact! The After Dark Zombie All-Nighter on 19 January features 4 of the best......

Advent is upon us. Hanukkah starts on Wednesday. Office parties are already everywhere. Tis the season to be jolly, jolly, jolly but we know this can be draining, emotionally and financially. Don't let the state of your wallet throw you over the edge. We can't afford to buy tickets to the BFI IMAX all-nighter next weekend and we're not allowed to enter our own competition. But we can do the following splendid things for......

If you’re a fan of musicals then you probably think the bigger the better. In which case you must pop down to the BFI Imax, where their After-Dark All-Nighter event will be screening four modern musicals on the trot on Saturday 8th December. First off the bat is 1980’s high school classic Fame at 11.15pm where the students of the New York High School for Performing Arts discover sex and show tunes. For those......

The Mayor of London wants you to stay up late. Stay up late for the Lates October season. He wanted you to cut back on sleep and catch up on culture back in May when the first Lates season was launched, now it's October, he wants you to check out the things you miss during the day in the big museums and galleries. Have you been meaning to see something at any of the......

Unless you've been hiding under a very large rock, you'll be aware that July is the month of Harry Potter. Not only is the seventh and final book released on Saturday, but the film version of the fifth book, Harry Potter and the Order Of The Phoenix, opened in London on 12 July. There are no less than thirty cinemas showing the film in London, so you certainly have plenty of viewing options. Londonist......

The word ‘awesome’ used to mean jaw-on-floor and full of awe. It’s a definition that’s on the move, last seen passing the ‘hmm, yes, that’s rather good’ mark and creeping towards an ‘OK, thanks’ retirement home for decrepit adjectives. We’d like to pull it out of retirement for one last mission – to describe the twin Nasa rovers, still rolling across Mars, and this awesome (yes, we said it) documentary, which finally uses the......

This week - The pilot light's gone out... on the sun (Sunshine) and Will Ferrell goes iceskating (Blades of Glory). Don't you hate it when the sun is going out and you have to go and reignite it? First up, Sunshine Bradshaw gives it 4/5, calling it a "beautiful-looking new space adventure". All of the reviews today are impressed with the way this film looks, It's a film with some stunning sequences and gobsmacking......

This week - The Spartans resist Persian domination (300) and Carmen Electra shoots a British porno (I Want Candy). First up, a film that went straight to the top of the box office chart in the USA, made a hatload and has angered some Iranians, 300. First of all, you'll want to read our own review. What do you mean that wasn't enough for you? What do you mean you want to hear from......

The Optronica festival took place last week, and Londonist was lucky enough to get tickets for the sold-out session on Friday evening at the BFI IMAX, where we were treated to video mash-ups by festival programmers Addictive TV, and a reactive retelling of Peter Greenaway's Tulse Luper trilogy by the director himself. It was easily the trendiest thing we'd been to all year - possibly ever - as proved by the high proportion of......

Tomorrow and Saturday the BFI IMAX is hosting a couple of all-nighters dedicated to Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy. These are the original theatrical 35mm versions meaning that they're still way too long, but not quite as way too long as the extended DVD versions: Boasting the biggest screen in Britain - the height of five double-decker buses - and a 12,000 watt digital surround sound system, the BFI IMAX is the......
