Collection of two comedies. In 'No Strings Attached' (2011), when
long-time friends Emma (Natalie Portman) and Adam (Ashton Kutcher)
decide to add a physical dimension to their relationship and move
into 'friends with benefits' territory, they agree to keep things
strictly casual and on a 'no strings' basis. But before long both
of them find things becoming more complicated than planned as those
pesky emotions get in the way. In 'Morning Glory' (2010), a sparky,
ambitious young television producer spies an opportunity to claw
her way up the career ladder when she is offered a job on
'Daybreak', the worst-performing morning chat show in the ratings.
Her decision to hire veteran newscaster Mike Pomeroy (Harrison
Ford) to host the show meets with scepticism from network executive
Jerry (Jeff Goldblum) and co-host Colleen Peck (Diane Keaton), and
with little enthusiasm from Pomeroy himself, who is obliged by his
contract to take this less-than-promising gig. Can Becky overcome
the poor ratings and in-fighting to bring the team together and
transform the show into something to be proud of?

Computer-animated comedy adventure. Lucas Nickle (voice of Zach
Tyler Eisen) is a ten-year-old boy whose family has just moved to a
new town, and Lucas isn't enjoying it much. He hasn't made any
friends yet, his big sister ignores him, his parents (Larry Miller
and Cheri Oteri) are occupied with their upcoming vacation in
Mexico, and his loving but slightly crazy grandmother (Lily Tomlin)
is convinced space aliens are casing out the neighbourhood. To make
matters worse, the local bully has found Lucas and is making his
life miserable, so the boy looks for someone he can push around -
and he soon finds a large colony of ants in his yard. Lucas takes
out his frustrations by stomping, drowning, and burying the bugs,
not realising that the ants see him as a threat to their safety and
aren't about take his attacks lying down. Zoc (Nicolas Cage) is a
'wizard ant' who creates a formula that shrinks Lucas to the size
of an insect, and the tiny boy is brought before the leader of the
Ant Council (Ricardo Montalban) and the Queen of the Colony (Meryl
Streep) to answer for his crimes against the ants. Showing
compassion, the queen sentences Lucas not to death, but to live
among them and see how difficult their circumstances can be.

the body of a paramedic and infiltrated the TARDIS, which he plans

Box set containing two popular feature films. In 'The Princess
Diaries' (2001), San Francisco teenager Mia Thermopolis (Anne
Hathaway) just wants to get through the rigours of high school
unharmed, avoiding as many of life's petty embarassments as
possible. However, when her long-lost grandmother Clarisse (Julie
Andrews) appears out of the blue, Mia gets the surprise of her
life; it seems she is the princess of a tiny principality called
Genovia, and is in fact next in line to the throne. Angry that this
news has been kept from her, Mia nevertheless agrees to embark on a
crash course of princess lessons. But when she begins to get lost
in a comic flurry of bungled state engagements and over-eager media
attention, the prospective princess begins to wonder if the royal
life is really the right life for her. In 'The Princess Diaries 2 -
Royal Engagement' (2004), American high school graduate Mia
Thermopolis has just turned 21, and is being groomed to succeed her
grandmother as Queen of Genovia. But it materialises that an
ancient Genovian law decrees that unmarried women cannot take the
throne, and the bitter Viscount Mabrey (John Rhys-Davies) and his
cronies oppose her coronation. When Queen Clarice (Julie Andrews)
asks that Mia be given 30 days to find a husband, Mabrey is
reluctant to allow it - but little does he know that his own
nephew, the young and handsome Nicholas (Chris Pine), has caught
Mia's eye.

Three digitally remastered Doctor Who episodes from the 1970s, '80s
and '90s. In 'The Talons of Weng-Chiang' (1977), the Doctor (Tom
Baker) and Leela (Louise Jamison) arrive in Victorian London to
find that galactic war criminal Magnus Greel has created giant rats
in the sewers and is sucking the life essence from young girls to
sustain him in his search for his time cabinet. Aided by Professor
Litefoot and music hall proprietor Henry Jago, the Doctor must stop
Greel (masquerading as the Chinese god Weng Chiang) and his
servants Li H'sen Chang and killer doll Mr Sin. 'The Caves of
Androzani' (1984) represents the final outing for the fifth
incarnation of everyone's favourite Time Lord. The Doctor (Peter
Davison) and Peri (Nicola Bryant) become embroiled in an
underground war of gun running and drug smuggling shortly after
landing on the planet Androzani Minor. Apprehended by the military,
they are rescued from execution by the brilliant but horribly
disfigured criminal, Sharaz Jek, whose infatuation with Peri looks
set to be cut short when he discovers that both she and the Doctor
have contracted the deadly disease Spectrox Toxaemia. The only
possible cure is the milk of the queen bat, which dwells in the
caves currently being roamed by the killer Magma Creature... In
'Doctor Who: The Movie' (1996), the Doctor (Sylvester McCoy)
crashlands the TARDIS on Earth in end-of-century San Francisco
while en route to return the Master's remains to their home planet
