I've increasingly become interested in contemporary art so on a recent trip to Beijing I was determined to get to visit the 798 Dashanzi Art District.
After about a half hour cab ride out to the north east of the city, you're there. The area is an ex-electronics factory compound, sprawling over an area the size of Chelsea (everything seems to be on a monumental scale in China).
It's a cauldron of design, photography and art housed in well over 100 galleries and spaces ranging from the (relatively) petite to the stadium sized. Check out ullens-center.org for a flavour.
Whilst the buildings exude a post-communist architectural grit, what the gallerists have done with the spaces is fantastic and hyper cool - some with the original Mao slogans still painted on the walls. So cool, in fact Dior were hosting a show in one of the spaces the day after I was there. If you find yourself in Beijing with half a day to spare (as you do), it's worth a trip.

Thanks to a suitably raunchy script and a pair of winning performances from Jonah Hill and Russell Brand, Get Him to the Greek is one of the year's funniest comedies.

Not for the faint of heart, Kick-Ass takes the comic adaptation genre to new levels of visual style, bloody violence, and gleeful profanity.

It isn't quite the breath of fresh air that Iron Man was, but this sequel comes close with solid performances and an action-packed plot.
