5 feelgood things to do in Inverness this weekend
The Equalizer is back on the big screen, Scarlet Diamonte has a glam night in mind, make your garden glow, catch some Moon music and catch a small screen fantasy animation
1 People's protector steps up again
On now The Equalizer 3 (15) returns ex-assassin Robert McCall (Denzel Washington) to the big screen, still serving justice for the oppressed in this third instalment of the all-action franchise.

It's probably the last outing for the animated world where we get plucky companion Elfo (voiced by Nat Faxon) and personal demon Luci (Eric Andre), steering potty-mouthed Queen Bean (Abbi Jacobson) who is agonising over a prophecy that she must kill someone she loves. To release the realm from the grip of scheming sorceress Queen Dagmar (Sharon Horgan), Bean prepares to vanquish her mother and confront other manifestations of evil including Satan. A headless corpse and a Machiavellian scientist complicate Bean’s best-laid plans as she learns her true destiny in the absorbing story ...
