What's On
Public Enemies
Johnny Depp & Christian Bale starMiami 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

At 100 yards it is one of the longest outdoor swimming pools in Europe. Despite being almost 100 years old and badly in need of an overhaul it remains one of the jewels in the crown of any Cambridge summer. Open until 12th Sept -- Rob Coe, Sports Editor
