  • The Imposter

    I went to see the new documentary, The Imposter at the weekend. All I’ll say here is that it’s very good, and tells the story of a child who goes missing in Texas in the 90s, but who then seemingly shows up in Spain a few years later. It’s not worth me saying much more…

  • Total Recall

    I was at university when the 1990 “original” version of Total Recall came out in cinemas, with Arnold Schwarzenegger playing a somewhat unlikely worker who had dreams of being a spy.

Coming 10 days after his victory in the Tour de France, he’s clearly an outstanding athlete. Wonderful Bradley leading the charge…
