The Kingdom (2007)
Jarhead (2006)
Drawing its inspiration from Anthony Mann's 'The Fall of the Roman Empire' (1964) and Stanley Kubrick's 'Spartacus' (1960), Ridley Scott's Oscar-winning take on the Roman epic lavishes the genre with the very latest in computer-generated effects technology. After the death of Emperor Marcus Aurelius (Richard Harris), Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix) betrays the Emperor's beloved General Maximus (Russell Crowe) and takes the throne for himself. Maximus is sold as a slave and then trained as a gladiator, keeping himself strong with thoughts of revenge. Eventually he is taken to the Colosseum, where he prepares to fight in a contest presided over by the corrupt Commodus. Will he suffer the ultimate humiliation and die for the entertainment of his enemy or will he survive the rigors of the arena and find a way of exacting his revenge?

Box set containing all three 'Stuart Little' movies, starring Michael J. Fox as the loveable rodent. In 'Stuart Little' (2000), when Mr and Mrs Little (Hugh Laurie and Geena Davis) visit an orphanage to find a brother for their son George (Jonathan Lipnicki) they come away with a charming talking mouse called Stuart. After initial misgivings, George and Stuart begin to get on famously, and everything seems to be going perfectly; but unknown to the family, the neighbourhood cats have ganged together with the sole intention of getting rid of Stuart. In 'Stuart Little 2' (2002), feeling lonely in his adoptive home, Stuart is happy to make a new friend in the form of the bird Margalo (voice of Melanie Griffith), who crash-lands next to him when he is on his way home from school. Margalo goes with Stuart to visit his family, but after being coaxed by the bullying Falcon (voice of James Woods), she is eventually persuaded to steal Mrs Little's (Davis) wedding ring. When she subsequently disappears from the Little's home, Stuart sets off on a daring rescue mission through the big city to save her from Falcon's clutches. Finally, in 'Stuart Little 3' (2005), school's out for the summer and the Littles are spending their vacation at a beautiful lakeside cabin. Leading the way is Stuart, who can't wait to become a Scout and spend his entire vacation canoeing, hiking and being the outdoorsy little guy he claims to be. But there is something lurking in the forest which could spoil the fun.
