Reimagining Roald Dahl's beloved story for a modern audience, Robert Zemeckis's visually innovative THE WITCHES tells the darkly humorous and heart-warming tale of a young orphaned boy who, in late 1967, goes to live with his loving Grandma in the rural Alabama town of Demopolis.
The boy and his grandmother come across some deceptively glamorous but thoroughly diabolical witches, so Grandma wisely whisks our young hero away to an opulent seaside resort instead.
Regrettably, they arrive at precisely the same time that the world's Grand High Witch has gathered her fellow cronies from around the globe—undercover—to carry out her nefarious plans.

All three films in director Christopher Nolan's epic superhero trilogy, starring Christian Bale in his dual role as Bruce Wayne/Batman.
Batman Begins (2005)
In the wake of his parents' murder, disillusioned industrial heir Bruce Wayne travels the world seeking the means to fight injustice and turn fear against those who prey on the fearful. He returns to Gotham and unveils his alter-ego: Batman, a masked crusader who uses his strength, intellect and an array of high-tech deceptions to fight the sinister forces that threaten the city.
The Dark Knight (2008)
Batman, aided by Commissioner Gordon and new District Attorney Harvey Dent, has managed to rid Gotham's streets of the organised crime gangs that once ravaged the city. Things seem to be looking up, although on the personal front, Bruce Wayne discovers he has a rival in his affections for main squeeze Rachel Dawes in the shape of the new DA who, as a political climber, likes to keep his cards close to his chest. But just when the authorities think they're finally making progress in their fight against crime, the appearance on the streets of a sinister new figure, with a demented grin and a passion for chaos, causes panic among the good people of Gotham, and leads to a battle of wits between Batman and the Joker which threatens to get extremely personal.
The Dark Knight Rises (2012)
It has been eight years since Batman vanished into the night, turning, in that instant, from hero to fugitive. Assuming the blame for the death of D.A. Harvey Dent, the Dark Knight sacrificed everything for what he and Commissioner Gordon both hoped was the greater good. For a time the lie worked, as criminal activity in Gotham City was crushed under the weight of the anti-crime Dent Act. But everything will change with the arrival of a cunning cat burglar with a mysterious agenda. Far more dangerous, however, is the emergence of Bane, a masked terrorist whose ruthless plans for Gotham drive Bruce out of his self-imposed exile. But even if he dons the cape and cowl again, Batman may be no match for Bane.
Includes over 7 hours of bonus content from all three films.

A collection of children's animated adventures from the Blue Sky
studios. In 'Epic' (2013), Mary Katherine (voice of Amanda
Seyfried) lives in a cabin in the woods with her eccentric father,
Professor Bomba (Jason Sudeikis), who studies the local fauna. One
day, when he doesn't return from a hike in the forest, she sets out
to find him, inadvertently stumbling across some strange glowing
leaves. Clutching one, Mary Katherine is shrunken down to the
forest floor, where, after meeting up with a group of warriors
known as the Leafmen, she finds herself helping her new friends in
their war to save their world from the clutches of the evil
Boggans. In 'Horton Hears a Who!' (2008), a jungle elephant named
Horton (Jim Carrey) discovers a race of tiny beings living in a
solitary dandelion. Recognising the dangers they face, the friendly
pachyderm resolves to keep his microscopic pals safe. However, as
Horton is the only one who hears the inhabitants of 'Whoville', his
other animal pals are convinced he's gone crazy and resolve to do
something about it. Horton and his miniscule friends must struggle
against these impossible odds to prevent disaster. In 'Ice Age'
(2002), a group of three animals embark upon an epic journey at the
dawn of the great ice age. Sid the sloth (John Leguizamo), Manfred
the woolly mammoth (Ray Romano), and Diego the sabre-toothed tiger
(Denis Leary) team up to help return a human baby to its father,
and must risk life and limb as they traverse boiling lava pits and
travel through dangerous ice caves to complete their mission. In
'Ice Age 2: The Meltdown' (2006), Manny is ready to start a family,
but nobody has seen another mammoth for a long time; in fact, Manny
thinks he may be the last one. That is until he miraculously finds
Ellie (Queen Latifah), the only female mammoth left in the world.
The only problem is, they can't stand each other... In 'Ice Age 3:
Dawn of the Dinosaurs' (2009), Scrat the squirrel (Chris Wedge) is
still trying to get his paws on that ever-elusive nut, Manny and
Ellie anxiously await the birth of their mini-mammoth, and Diego
wonders if he's growing too laid-back living the life of a pampered
house cat. Meanwhile, Sid the sloth gets into trouble when he
creates his own makeshift family by hijacking some unusually large
eggs, and inadvertently discovers a mysterious underground world
where dinosaurs still roam. In 'Ice Age 4: Continental Drift'
(2012), when the entire continent is set adrift following a global
cataclysm, Manny, Diego and Sid find themselves separated from the
rest of the herd. Commandeering a nearby iceberg as a makeshift
boat, they take to the high seas. Fearsome sea creatures and
battlethirsty pirates are among the challenges faced by the
intrepid trio as they ride the waves of the world in search of
their family. In 'Rio' (2011), Blu (Jesse Eisenberg) is a rare
macaw living in a bookshop in small-town Minnesota. Believing
himself to be the last of his kind, he is thrilled to hear that a
female macaw of the same species has been spotted in South America.
Blu must now overcome his social ineptitude and fear of flying and
set out for Rio de Janeiro to track down the feisty and independent
Jewel (Anne Hathaway) and try to win her heart. Finally, in
'Robots' (2005), Rodney Copperbottom (Ewan McGregor) is a small
town robot who has a gift for inventing things and a hope of moving
beyond his quaint surroundings. Dreaming of doing something better
than working alongside his dad in a restaurant, Rodney, armed with
his unique talent for inventing, embarks on a journey to Robot City
to meet his idol, the majestic inventor Bigweld (Mel Brooks).
Documentary about Victor Hugo's classic nineteenth-century story
and its subsequent adaptations to stage and screen. The novel
follows the journey of French ex-convict Jean Valjean who atones
for his sins by becoming an upstanding member of society. In the

Mackintosh, in which Alfie Boe later played the lead role. Tom
Hooper directed the 2012 film version which stars Hugh Jackman as
Valjean. The programme features input from cast and crew of both
productions, including Mackintosh, Boe, Hooper and Jackman, as well
as Anne Hathaway, Amanda Seyfried and Frances Ruffelle, as they
discuss how the story has continued to captivate audiences over so
many years.

All three films in director Christopher Nolan's epic superhero
trilogy, starring Christian Bale in his dual role as Bruce
Wayne/Batman. 'Batman Begins' (2005) explores the origins of the
Batman legend and the Dark Knight's emergence as a force for good
in Gotham. In the wake of his parents' murder, disillusioned
industrial heir Bruce Wayne (Bale) travels the world seeking the

the fearful. He returns to Gotham and unveils his alter-ego:
Batman, a masked crusader who uses his strength, intellect and an

Gotham's avenging angel squaring-up to a new kid on the block -
psychotic prankster, the Joker (Heath Ledger, in the role that won
him a posthumous Oscar for Best Supporting Actor). In the space of
a year, Batman (Bale), aided by Commissioner Gordon (Gary Oldman)
and new District Attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart), has managed
to rid Gotham's streets of the organised crime gangs that once
ravaged the city. But just when the authorities think they're

General chemistry textbooks are usually lengthy and present
chemistry to the student as an unconnected list of facts. In
inorganic chemistry, emphasis should be placed on the connections
between valence shell electron configuration and the physical and
chemical properties of the element. Basic Principles of Inorganic
Chemistry: Making the Connections is a short, concise book that
emphasises these connections, in particular the chemistry of the
Main Group compounds. With reference to chemical properties, Lewis
Structures, stoichiometry and spider diagrams, students will be
able to predict or calculate the chemistry of simple polyatomic
compounds from the valence shell configuration and will no longer
be required to memorise vast amounts of factual chemistry. This
book is ideal for students taking chemistry as a subsidiary subject
as well as honours degree students.
