Following critical acclaim, Victoria resumes her role as queen establishing herself as a working mother, learning to balance her responsibilities as both parent and Sovereign. However, Prince Albert is still struggling to find a role for himself alongside his powerful wife as she returns to her duties, intent on proving that she can be mother, dutiful wife and Queen.
Victoria’s challenges during her reign, both home and abroad, leave her with a modern dilemma, can she really have it all?
In March 1912, Gene Grace, a young Atlanta businessman, was found
shot in the locked bedroom of his fashionable home ""between the
Peachtrees."" Daisy Grace, his flashily dressed Yankee wife from
Philadelphia, was soon arrested on a charge of assault with intent
to murder. Gene Grace lingered for two years, but was paralyzed.
More importantly, under Georgia law, he could not testify against
his wife. Prosecutors were forced to rely upon the circumstantial
evidence of an alleged ""diabolical plot."" The Atlanta
newspapers--led by the Georgian, under the very new control of Mr.
Hearst, that giant of ""yellow journalism""--covered the case
relentlessly. Papers across the country followed the drama for
months, concluding with a five-day trial held in the searing heat
of a Georgia summer. This is story of the tragic romance between
""the Adonis of a country town"" and the woman known to all as
""Daisy of the Leopard Spots.
Collection of three British romantic comedies. In 'About Time'
(2013), following yet another uneventful New Year's Eve Party,
21-year-old Tim (Domhnall Gleeson) learns a life-changing secret
from his father (Bill Nighy). It seems that the men in Tim's family
possess the unique ability to travel in time by simply entering a
dark space, clenching their fists, and imagining the place they
want to be. Armed with this knowledge, Tim decides to leave rural
Cornwall behind and move to London to become a lawyer, and in the
process, find love. All seems to be going well when he meets and
falls for the dazzling Mary (Rachel McAdams), using his newfound
abilities to help win the day. But when a mishap in the time
travelling manoeuvre threatens his future happiness, Tim soon comes
to realise that, above all else, it's how you live your life in the
present that really matters. In 'Love Actually' (2003), eight
stories involving the love lives of more than a dozen characters
are brought together over one Christmas and climax on Christmas
Eve; from the recent widower Daniel (Liam Neeson), the failing
marriage of Karen (Emma Thompson) and Harry (Alan Rickman), the
aging rocker (Nighy) who just wants to get paid (and laid if
possible), through to the Prime Minister (Hugh Grant) falling for a
member of Number 10's staff (Martine McCutcheon). In 'Notting Hill'
(1999), Anna Scott (Julia Roberts) is the world's most famous movie
star, whilst divorcee William Thacker (Grant) owns an ailing travel
bookstore in his local neighbourhood of Notting Hill. One day Anna
buys a book from William's shop and later collides messily with him
on a street corner. She accompanies him home to clean herself up,
and from there springs an unlikely romance. However, the path of
true love is littered with obstacles, not least the media, the
adoring fans and the differences in their lifestyles.
