Animated adventure from popular director Tim Burton. Set in a 19th century European village, the film follows the story of Victor (voiced by Johnny Depp), a young man who is whisked away to the underworld and wed to a mysterious Corpse Bride (Helena Bonham Carter), while his real bride, Victoria (Emily Watson), waits bereft in the land of the living.

Though life in the Land of the Dead proves to be a lot more colourful than his strict Victorian upbringing, Victor learns that there is nothing in this world, or the next, that can keep him away from his one true love.

Family sci-fi adventure starring Bill Murray and Tim Robbins. The City of Ember is an underground city built to last 200 years to house humankind following an unspecified disaster. However, the 200-year mark has been and gone and the city is running low on food and energy. The technological knowledge from the original builders of the city has been lost and disregarded, and generations of corrupt officialdom have added to the deterioration of the once flourishing community. When two teenagers, Lina Mayfleet (Saoirse Ronan) and Doon Harrow (Harry Treadaway), uncover the precious box of instructions left behind by the city's builders generations before, they decide to brave the darkness and set out on a mission to save their dying city.

Caroline s No Nightshade Kitchen: Arthritis Diet Living without Tomatoes, Peppers, Potatoes, and Eggplant Caroline s No Nightshade Kitchen: Arthritis Diet is a book about finding relief from the pain and inflammation of arthritis when every other treatment and prescription failed. The following excerpts from my cookbook explain how arthritis suddenly changed my life, and how I m changing it back with delicious foods and a life that is pain free. My simple story and fourteen year history In 1998, I began to notice pain and swelling in the knuckles of my hands. The discomfort was sudden and became severe. I m an abstract oil painter, and was concerned that I would lose my ability to paint. It became apparent that not only would I be unable to paint, but there were other things I could no longer do well. I was frightened and there seemed to be no end to the misery. It never occurred to me that the inflammation I was experiencing in my hands could be related to the hot chili peppers and tomatoes I ate almost every day. During the next three years, I went to many doctors who administered every arthritis prescription available at the time, but the medications actually made the pain worse. I spent thousands of dollars trying to find an answer that would give me relief, but my discomfort only increased. I felt hopeless and desperate as the pain intensified and the disfiguration of my hands worsened. In 2001, I was visiting a friend who is very knowledgeable about numerous types of alternative healthcare. She noticed my bright red hands and asked if I knew anything about nightshades and arthritis. She explained that nightshade plants (tomatoes, peppers, white potatoes, and eggplant) had been proven to affect some people severely who have arthritis. I thought she was crazy. I couldn't believe giving up many of the foods I enjoyed eating would make a difference. However, because the pain had been severe for three years, and I was truly desperate, I began the experiment my friend suggested the next day, but with little hope a dietary change would lessen my pain. I try to refrain from using the word miracle; but to be honest it was a miracle to me because the pain and swelling stopped completely in a few days. I was fortunate that improvement came quickly, and I m grateful that my friend spoke up. My father, who was born with a deformity in his feet and ankles, also suffered from a type of arthritis. His diagnosis was vague, just as mine would be years later. The treatments and medications he was given did little to help eliminate his pain, which was often severe to the point that he couldn t walk. He died many years ago, but what if eliminating nightshades from his diet could have made a difference for him? I m not a medical professional and I don t have all the answers. I wish it were as simple as taking a pill, but it s not. I only know what I ve experienced and what others have shared with me. Caroline s No Nightshade Kitchen: Arthritis Diet is my story with nightshades. It s also my collection of savory recipes. Cooking and dining are opportunities for pleasure, and they should not make you sick.
