Roland Emmerich directs this political thriller based around the
notion that William Shakespeare was not in fact the author of the
canon of plays attributed to him. In Elizabethan England, political
intrigue abounds as the Tudors and the Cecils battle it out over
the succession of Queen Elizabeth I (Joely Richardson/Vanessa
Redgrave), and the Essex Rebellion mobilises against her. Enter the
dashing and wildly talented Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford
(Jamie Campbell Bower/Rhys Ifans), who not only fathers an
illegitimate son in a clandestine incestuous relationship with
Queen Elizabeth, but is also the secret author of the plays labeled
with the name of William Shakespeare (Rafe Spall).

Shakespeare in Love
Young Will Shakespeare is the up-and-coming playwright of the time but has been disastrously struck by the bane of the writer's life - writer's block. His comedy "Romeo and Ethel the Pirate's Daughter" is not going anywhere and the playhouse is under threat of closure. What Will needs is a muse - and she appears in the form of the beautiful (and betrothed) Lady Viola. The path of true love doesn't run smooth for Will, however - Viola is engaged to be married to the insufferable Lord Wessex at the command of Queen Elizabeth. The joys and tragedy of his own life soon find their way onto the page in a moving, witty and spellbinding tale.

Computer-animated comedy adventure. Lucas Nickle (voice of Zach
Tyler Eisen) is a ten-year-old boy whose family has just moved to a
new town, and Lucas isn't enjoying it much. He hasn't made any
friends yet, his big sister ignores him, his parents (Larry Miller
and Cheri Oteri) are occupied with their upcoming vacation in
Mexico, and his loving but slightly crazy grandmother (Lily Tomlin)
is convinced space aliens are casing out the neighbourhood. To make
matters worse, the local bully has found Lucas and is making his
life miserable, so the boy looks for someone he can push around -
and he soon finds a large colony of ants in his yard. Lucas takes
out his frustrations by stomping, drowning, and burying the bugs,
not realising that the ants see him as a threat to their safety and
aren't about take his attacks lying down. Zoc (Nicolas Cage) is a
'wizard ant' who creates a formula that shrinks Lucas to the size
of an insect, and the tiny boy is brought before the leader of the
Ant Council (Ricardo Montalban) and the Queen of the Colony (Meryl
Streep) to answer for his crimes against the ants. Showing
compassion, the queen sentences Lucas not to death, but to live
among them and see how difficult their circumstances can be.

Larry Sabato, one of the leading experts in American politics, has
brought together respected journalists and academics from across
the political spectrum to examine every facet of the 2012 election,
and what its development and outcome will mean for the nation
moving forward. In frank, accessible prose, each author offers
insight that goes beyond the headlines, and dives into the
underlying forces and shifts that drove the election from its
earliest developments to its dramatic conclusion. Contributing
authors joining Larry Sabato with chapters in the book include:
Professor Alan Abramowitz of Emory University; Professor Diana Owen
of Georgetown University; Jamelle Bouie of American Prospect;
Professor James Campbell of SUNY-Buffalo; Political writers and
commentators Kyle Kondik and Geoff Skelley of the University of
Virginia Center for Politics; Michael Toner, former chairman of the
Federal Election Commission; Karen E. Trainer of Wiley Rein LLP;
Nate Cohn of The New Republic; Rhodes Cook, formerly of
Congressional Quarterly; Robert Costa of National Review; Sean
Trende of RealClearPolitics; and Professor Susan MacManus of the
University of South Florida. Following Sabato's introductory
analysis, the contributors provide a comprehensive review of
everything in play during the 2012 elections, including the
controversial roles that unprecedented amounts of money and media
played in deciding who would occupy the Oval Office as well as
pivotal seats in Congress. They also explore the nominating
processes, conventions, and futures of both the Democratic and
Republican parties, and what recent geographic and demographic
electoral realignments might mean for America's politics beyond
2012.
