You could go see the incredibly talented Esperanza Spalding tonight, except you can't, it's sold out. Unless you've got tickets, you're stuck with one of these.

Where In The World Is Osama Bin Laden? (Film)

Pest Centre, VII, Király utca (T4/6), 3 min

Supersizer, Morgan Spurlock goes on yet another quest for the unattainable. This time it's not a Big Mac induced heart-attack, rather it's for the elusive public enemy number one, Osama Bin Laden.

Whether you love Spurlock or think his questions are asinine, there's bound to be some funny moments in this pseudo-documentary that's got a title strikingly similar to Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego.

Trailer here. Lackluster reviews here.

Balkan Táncház (Dance)
Budapest Jazz Club, 26th January, 20:00
Budapest is, without a doubt, táncház capital of the world. Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Macedonia, Serbia. And the list just keeps getting longer...

The Duchess (Film)
Művész, 26th January, 15:30, 19:15, 21:15
Keira Knightley. All the girls seem to hate her and all the guys can't help but ogle over her. Love her or hate her, she more often than not gets typecast into these elegant woman-gone-badgirl roles. This time she's a boozer, gambler, looker, and a woman of power, yet all her husband seems to want her for is to produce a male heir. Trailer here. Reviews here.

Moldavia Táncház (Dance)
Könyvtár PinceKlub [map], 26th January, 21:00, free
If there's one thing missing from your life, it's learning how they dance the Öves in Moldavia. Danced by the Csángós - but who are the Csángós? (If you follow this link, don't forget to read the argument beneath the video.)
