what do £36 brogues, bagels, cadbury's eclairs, charity shops, £30 cash, a handsome perfumier in a pinstripe suit and his hippy girlfriend who are looking for a flatshare have in common???

Capitalism : A Love Story
Nice one to the Curzon cinema for making us laugh for 30 mins by introducing a film about Capitalism with a montage of advertisements diametrically opposed to the message of the film. Hegemony Rules!!

American Werewolf in London (1981)
Won the Saturn Best Horror award and Outstanding Achievement in Makeup. According to Wiki,
The film was one of three high-profile wolf-themed horror films released in 1981, alongside The Howling and Wolfen.
Those will be next on the list :)
Particularily awesome version of 'Blue Moon' in the sound-track, by Bobby Vinton.
Funny to see Rik Mayall as 'second chess player' in the 'Slaughtered Lamb' pub in East Proctor.
Frank Oz stars as the annoying American Embassy rep, and later, Ms Piggy in the Muppets, which is showing on TV during a horror nightmare sequence.Nice continuity error in the scene shot in Tottenham Court Rd underground station, where the clock above the escalator reads 13.01, despite the fact that it is the full moon after midnight, so the tube station would either be shut or full of people trying to get home before the last train.
Nice to see footage of London in the 80's: the most striking thing about Picadilly Circus is the lack of cyclists.
The wiki also tells us 'In June 2009, it was announced that Dimension Films was working with producers Sean and Bryan Furst on a remake of the film'
One to watch out for.

Pinarello Lungavita 2010
We have got this beauty in the window at our shop in Victoria. It is the only one in the country, and I am itching to take it out on a test ride. This 6061 aluminum fixed-gear machine retails at £799, and would suit the suited and booted. The components are not great, and rather than completing the look, they ruin it........but the frame and forks are a winner! I hope to see one of these, with some nice brown leather bar tape and a sexy Brooks saddle at the second Annual Tweed Run in London this April.......
