Thriller loosely based on the autobiography by Martin McGartland,
former undercover informant to the British police on the activities
of the IRA. Set in Belfast in the late 1980s, the film shows how
McGartland led a double life for four years while still in his
early twenties, revealing nothing of his position even to close
friends and family, until his cover was blown in 1991 and he was
kidnapped and tortured by the IRA. Ben Kingsley co-stars as Fergus,
McGartland's British 'handler'.

British director Nicholas Roeg's first film in 15 years is a
supernatural drama set amidst the rolling hills of the Irish
countryside. Needing to escape the city and her demanding boss Lars
(Donald Sutherland), young architect Liffrey (Kelly Reilly) and
boyfriend Richard (Oscar Pearce) buy a cottage in the Irish hills
to restore. The Tucker family, who lived there previously and have
now moved to a nearby farm, soon make the couple uneasy, especially
mother-of-three daughters Mabs (Miranda Richardson), who can't hide
her desire to have a son. The atmosphere takes a turn for the worse
when Liffrey announces she's pregnant, mainly because Mabs's mother
Molly (Rita Tushingham) has been trying, through use of the black
arts, to finally have her own grandson. Isolated in her pregnancy,
Liffrey is soon surrounded by a family convinced that the baby she
is carrying rightly belongs to Mabs.
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.Medical theory and
practice of the 1700s developed rapidly, as is evidenced by the
extensive collection, which includes descriptions of diseases,
their conditions, and treatments. Books on science and technology,
agriculture, military technology, natural philosophy, even
cookbooks, are all contained here.++++The below data was compiled
