Directed by Brenda Chapman, the Oscar-winning director and co-writer of Pixar's Brave, COME AWAY is a whimsical and inspiring live-action fairy-tale and an ingeniously conceived prequel to two of the world's most beloved and enduring pieces of children's literature Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan.
Starring Angelina Jolie, David Oyelowo, Anna Chancellor, Michael Caine, Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Reece Yates, the film follows the adventures of siblings Alice and Peter who transform into Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland in a bid to help their parents overcome the tragedy of losing their eldest son.
Peter and Alice find strength in the power of their imaginations and set off on a real adventure to try and rescue the family - escaping to a destiny of eternal boyhood in the distant isle of Neverland - whilst Alice delves into a world of Wonderland.
Collection of six feature films from director Christopher Nolan, with 3 bonus discs packed with special features. In
'Memento' (2000) Leonard Shelby (Guy Pearce) is suffering from
acute short-term memory loss and is unable to remember anything for
more than a few minutes at a time. This makes things very difficult
when his one mission in life is to track down his wife's killer who
escaped from the scene of the crime. '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
(Christian Bale) 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. In
'The Prestige' (2006) Rupert Angier (Hugh Jackman) and Alfred
Borden (Bale) are London-based magicians of the highest order, both
blessed with spectacular powers of deception and both cursed with
unrelenting envy for one another's skills. When Alfred performs an
awe-inspiring trick for which there seems no logical explanation,
the friendly competition shared between the pair turns to deadly
rivalry as the enraged Rupert determines to uncover his rival's
deepest secrets. 'The Dark Knight' (2008), sequel to 'Batman
Begins', sees Gotham's hero 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, 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. 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 (Maggie Gyllenhaal) in the shape of the new
D.A., 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. In 'Inception' (2010) Dom Cobb
(Leonardo DiCaprio) is a professional thief with a difference: the
spoils he goes after are not material objects but the thoughts,
dreams and secrets buried in the minds of other people. This rare
talent has cost him dear, rendering him a solitary fugitive
stripped of everything he ever really cared about. When he is
offered a chance for redemption by reversing the process and
planting an idea rather than stealing it, he and his team of
specialists find themselves pitted against a dangerous enemy that
appears to pre-empt their every move. Finally, 'The Dark Knight
Rises' (2012), the final film in Nolan's Batman trilogy, set eight
years on from the events of 'The Dark Knight', sees Batman
returning to save Gotham City from the evil clutches of brutal
terrorist Bane (Tom Hardy) and his enigmatic sidekick, Selina Kyle
(Anne Hathaway). However, Batman's ability to act as an avenging
angel is curtailed by the fact that he is now on Gotham City Police
Department's Most Wanted list, having assumed responsibility for
the crimes of deceased District Attorney Harvey Dent.

Our lives are driven by a fact that most of us can't name and don't
understand. It defines who our friends and lovers are, which careers we
choose, and whether we blush when we're embarrassed.
That fact is whether we're an introvert or an extrovert.
The most fundamental dimension of personality, at least a third of us
are introverts, and yet shyness, sensitivity and seriousness are often
seen as a negative. Some of the world's most talented people are
introverts - without them we wouldn't have the Apple computer, the
theory of relativity and Van Gogh's sunflowers. In Quiet, Susan Cain
shows how society misunderstands and undervalues introverts while
giving them the tools to better understand themselves and take full
advantage of their strengths.
Passionately argued, superbly researched, and filled with real stories,
whether an introvert or extrovert, this book will change how you see
human beings for good.
