It's a similar story in and out of the capital this week: Batman is indeed Forever (or at least for a few weeks before Die Hard With a Vengeance is released). And Mighty Morphin Power Rangers rule OK. Judge Dredd (above) has made an impressive entrance, but it's not really the thing for a summer's day, is it? We must be going to see it because there's nothing else on. A common reason - look how well A Man of No Importance has done.
