Public Enemies
Miami Vice creator Michael Mann's period films always invite curiosity, not least because Mann seems so at home with gleaming urban crimescapes as in Heat. So an attempt to tackle depression era gangster John Dillinger and the G-Man out to collar him should prove irresistible, not least because it pits Johnny Depp against Christian Bale. Most cinemas from Friday 3rd July. -- David Perilli, Cinema Editor

The regular Monday night 'jam' sessions at the Cricketers go from strength to strength under trumpeter Paul Stubb's aegis. Even as we head into a full blown summer heatwave the band has been cooking up a storm lately. Drawing an excellent rhythm section from committed local pro and semi-pro players, fronted by a mix of keen regulars and young talent, for the price of a pint you can enjoy the spectacle in this friendly backstreet local. Highly recommended. -- David Ellingham, Jazz Editor
