...with a wide variety of used clothes, bric-a-brac, books and CDs. But the Notting Hill shop - one of three in London recently reopened as high-fashion boutiques - looks downright chic, with polished dark-wood flooring, arty light fixtures, and top-brand ladies' wear displayed on stylish wrought-iron racks. The shop also sells brand-new fair-trade clothes and accessories typically made by London College of Fashion students from organic fabrics, as well as one-of-a-kind items made from recycled clothes and other materials.

It's the fifth, and three of the first four (Iron Man, Wanted and Hellboy II) have been terrific or just short of it. (The Incredible Hulk: not so hot.) It's been one of the best summers in memory for flat-out blockbuster entertainment, and in the wow category, the Nolan film doesn't disappoint. True to format, it has a crusading hero...
