Another night marathon so the movies are a tad old:

SEX AND THE CITY 2

Recommended. While Carrie and Big are working on regaining their sparkle (2 days weekly off work or marriage), the movie sparkles in all possible ways: slick haute couture outfits and luxurious decor provide the usual Sex And The City glamour and shine, sparkling humour held me in stitches (e.g. about Liza Minelli singing at a gay wedding: "Why has Liza Minelli signed up for this?!" "It's pure physics. Where there's so much gay energy, she just materialises.") and infallible Samantha sends off enough sparkles to start a fire.

THE SORCERER'S APPRENTICE

Recommended. Full of marvellous special effects, fast action, fantastic humour (e.g. "I'm a sorcerer." "And I thought my last boyfriend was different because he wore a scarf.") I seriously considered seeing it again straight after the screening ended.

PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE SANDS OF TIME

Watchable. I liked the going back in time idea (didn't have enough of that) but the trailer promised more special effects - these were far and few between and of poor quality and there were too many brawls and dagger fights, it also completely lacked humour or even irony.

I have to say that Warsaw Multikino with freshly squeezed juice to buy is so much better than London Cineworld that only sold the worst of fast food.
