These are the most beautiful outdoor cinemas in Asia
For where to catch a flick under the stars in Asia, you only have to look as far as Time Out 's list of the 30 most beautiful outdoor cinemas in the world. Our picks range from a cinema in a cemetery to a venue in a Roman amphitheatre, with a gorgeous spot called Westpac OpenAir overlooking Sydney Harbour, the Opera House, and Harbour Bridge topping the list.
However, what we're interested in are the beautiful outdoor cinemas that can be found in Asia, and there are just two spots that rank. The most spectacular one in the region? Hendrick's Sunset Cinema in Singapore, set on the sandy shores of Sentosa Island's Tanjong Beach. Framed by swaying palm trees and expansive sunset views (hence the name), this is where crowds have been settling in since 2017 to catch Oscar-worthy films. To complete the experience: deck chairs, wireless noise-cancelling headphones, and even DJ sets and food trucks before the movies start.
The other outdoor cinema in Asia to make the list is The Grounds in Hong Kong. This one's for those who like lots of personal space – the venue is set up with 100 'socially-distanced' private pods that can seat up to four people. And talk about service: you can order food from various restaurants via QR code and get your items served straight to your pod. Backdropped by Hong Kong's unmistakable skyline, The Grounds also plays host to live music, yoga, and other lifestyle events.

Spacey told actor ‘don't worry about it' after alleged assault, documents claim
Ruari Cannon is suing Mr Spacey as well as two organisations connected to the Old Vic Theatre in London, claiming he suffered psychiatric damage as a result of sexual and emotional abuse. The 33-year-old has waived his anonymity in the claim. In court documents seen by the PA news agency, Mr Cannon alleges that Mr Spacey, who was a 'powerful figure and a world-famous actor and celebrity' at the time, assaulted him in about June 2013, when he was 'a very vulnerable young man'. Kevin Spacey attending Cannes Film Festival (Doug Peters/PA) Oscar-winning actor Mr Spacey has previously denied allegations of inappropriate behaviour and wrongdoing, and details of his defence are not yet available. According to the documents, filed in June, Mr Spacey was working as artistic director at the Old Vic Theatre at the time of the alleged assaults on a production of a play by Tennessee Williams known as Sweet Bird Of Youth, and Mr Cannon was a member of the cast in this production. They claim that Mr Spacey 'took a particular interest' in Mr Cannon for 'reasons of sexual interest' and sent him a 'lavish' gift of a framed poster of the 1985 production of the play directed by Harold Pinter. After the press preview of the show on June 12 2013, Mr Cannon attended a party at The Savoy in London organised by The Old Vic Theatre Company (The Cut) and The Old Vic Theatre Trust 2000. It is claimed that one of the alleged assaults took place at the event. Setting out the allegations, Elizabeth-Anne Gumbel KC, for Mr Cannon, said: 'Kevin Spacey pulled the claimant towards him, turned him around through 45 degrees and placed his left hand on the claimant's buttocks and lifted up the recess material of his suit.' It is alleged that Mr Spacey then pushed Mr Cannon's underwear 'as far up' into his bottom as possible, 'so as to cause pain and distress'. Ms Gumbel added: 'Mr Kevin Spacey pulled the claimant closer to him and whispered into the claimant's ear 'Don't worry about it'. 'Mr Spacey made more uncalled for and unwelcome advances to the claimant during the evening.' The following day, Mr Cannon reported the alleged assaults to his stage manager at the Old Vic Theatre, but no action was taken. According to the documents, it is accepted that Mr Cannon did not ask for any action to be taken, and was scared about how any further action might affect his career. Later that year, during the run of the show, Mr Cannon saw Mr Spacey at the Old Vic bar. Mr Spacey allegedly said to him, 'I hear you have a dirty secret', and then said: 'Open up.' Ms Gumbel said: 'Kevin Spacey then forced open the claimant's mouth with his fingers and thumbs and commented 'quite a bad boy' before the claimant could pull away. 'The claimant then left the bar. The forcing open of the claimant's mouth was another assault for which Kevin Spacey was responsible and for which the second and/or third defendants were vicariously liable. 'Further in 2017 when the Old Vic set up a confidential complaints email on October 31 2017 the claimant reported the above complaint again to the Old Vic.' She added that the alleged assaults were carried out by Mr Spacey in the course of his work for the organisations connected to the Old Vic, and they are 'vicariously liable' for the alleged assaults carried out in the context of a theatre production. Law firms Carter-Ruck, which is representing Mr Spacey, and Clyde & Co, representing the companies, have been approached for comment.

The museum's on the tram!
The National Museum of Scotland invites you to take the tram around Edinburgh – but particularly the Museum Tram as they have commissioned a wrap both inside and out turning one of the trams into a moving source of facts about the museum. The moving museum will travel through the city for the next two years, introducing passengers to some of the best-loved objects from the National Collection and giving them a taste of what it's like to visit the National Museum of Scotland. Patsy Convery, Head of Marketing and Communications at National Museums Scotland told us about the idea behind the latest marketing venture. She said: 'We have over 25,000 objects on display at the National Museum – and what we really wanted to do was to show the breadth of the treasures that we have in there. We have items here that are from Scottish history, the natural world, from Art and Design, science and technology, and also global cultures. And what we want to do is to inspire people to find out a little bit more about the collection, but also to visit and hear more about the stories that they can tell. 'It's the first museum wrap. But we wanted to do more than just wrap the tram – we wanted it to be an experience in itself, and that's why we're inviting people to step inside as though they're visiting the museum up on Chamber Street' Sarah Singh, Head of Service Delivery at Edinburgh Trams, said: 'We're delighted to have the National Museum of Scotland represented on one of our trams for the next two years. The museum offers an incredible space for exploring Scotland's history and place in the world in a meaningful way, and we're proud to offer some small extension of that. Look out for a 3,000-year-old toy mouse and a Saltire which has been to space – some of our favourite additions to the design!' A short walk from the Princes Street tram stop, the National Museum of Scotland attracts over 2.3 million visitors each year. It is Scotland's most-visited attraction and the most popular museum in the UK outside London. The museum is currently staging the world's biggest exhibition of primate behaviour, Monkeys: Our Primate Family and hosts a programme of seasonal events and activities.
