Experience Pitch Perfect like never before in an all-new, full length Sing-Along Edition! Beca, a freshman at University, finds herself joining The Bellas, the school’s all-girl singing group, whose only thing in common is how good they sound when they sing together. Follow the lyrics and sing-along with your favourite a cappella groups as The Bellas take on their rivals in a campus competition in this outrageously hilarious laugh-out-loud comedy!
Double bill of musical teen comedies following the fortunes of an
all-girl a cappella singing group. In 'Pitch Perfect' (2012), Anna
Kendrick stars as Beca, a freshman who is persuaded to join The Bellas,
her university's all-female singing group. Raising their energy and
expanding their repertoire, The Bellas have soon taken their music to a
whole new level, culminating in a sing-off against their male
counterparts in a campus-wide competition.

'Fearsome wit' Elle 'Charming' Buzzfeed 'Ridiculously entertaining' Associated Press 'Endearingly honest' Guardian A collection of humorous autobiographical essays by the Academy Award-nominated actress and star of Pitch Perfect, Twilight, Up in the Air, Into the Woods and Trolls. Even before she made a name for herself on the silver screen, Anna Kendrick was unusually small, weird, defiant, and '10 per cent weird'. When she was thirteen, a classmate dropped by her house unexpectedly and discovered written evidence of Anna's social ineptitude. From then on she decided to 'keep the crazy inside my head where it belonged. Forever. But here's the thing about crazy: It. Wants. Out.' In Scrappy Little Nobody, she invites her readers inside her brain, sharing extraordinary and charmingly ordinary stories with candour and winningly wry observations. With her razor-sharp wit, Anna recounts the absurdities she's experienced on her way to and from the heart of pop culture as only she can - from her unusual path to the performing arts (her older brother's affinity for Vanilla Ice may have inadvertently launched her career) to her double life as a middle-school student who also starred on Broadway to her initial 'dating experiments' (including only liking boys who didn't like her back) to the perils of reading The Shining while filming Twilight in the isolated Canadian wilderness to reviewing a binder full of butt doubles to her struggle to live like an adult woman instead of a perpetual 'man-child'. Enter Anna's world and follow her rise from 'scrappy little nobody' to someone who dazzles on the stage, the screen, and now the page - with an electric, singular voice, at once familiar and surprising, sharp and sweet, funny and serious (well, not that serious).

The cast also includes Elizabeth Banks, Hailee Steinfeld, Brittany Snow and Katey Sagal.
Romantic comedy from Paco Cabezas starring Sam Rockwell, Anna Kendrick and Tim Roth. A kind, if a little quirky, young woman called Martha (Kendrick) dumps her boyfriend after he cheats on her.

Francis is very forthcoming when talking to Martha about his activities, but Martha doesn't realise at first that he is serious. Francis is a hitman of sorts, one whose moral compass leads him to assassinate the very people who hire him as punishment for them resorting to murder to get what they want. The new couple are being pursued however, and not just by gangsters who want to hire Francis but also by Francis' old partner, Hopper (Roth). Martha really likes Francis, but can she deal with the baggage that comes with him?
