the anthropomorphic ninjutsu-trained turtles Leonardo (Pete
Ploszek), Michelangelo (Noel Fisher), Donatello (Jeremy Howard) and
Raphael (Alan Ritchson). The turtle's arch nemesis Shredder (Brian
Tee) has returned and employed Techno Cosmic Research Institute

Rocksteady (Stephen Farrelly). Meanwhile, the evil Kraang (voice of

and vigilante Casey Jones (Stephen Amell), the turtles face a fight
on two fronts to save the city from certain destruction.
Triple bill of horror movies. 'Hiding' (2012) stars Ana Villafańe
as a young woman attempting to begin a new life following the
brutal murder of her parents. Taken into the care of a witness
protection programme, a new identity is established for Jo
(Villafańe) in Montana and she leaves her home in New York and her
past life behind. Unfortunately, when a man known as Mr Ostrog
(Dean Armstrong) appears and begins to take an interest in her, Jo
could be forgiven for thinking that the protection programme has
failed to keep her identity safe from the man she is due to testify
against. In 'The Victim' (2011) Annie (Jennifer Blanc)'s camping
trip with her friend, Mary (Danielle Harris), goes disastrously
wrong when Mary is savagely attacked and Annie witnesses her
murder. As she flees through the woods from pursuers Harrison (Ryan
Honey) and Cooger (Denny Kirkwood), Annie comes across a small
cabin inhabited by the loner Kyle (Michael Biehn), but will he help
her or hinder her? 'Beneath the Dark' (2010) is a psychological
thriller from first-time director Chad Feehan. Driving through the
Mojave Desert on their way to the wedding of an old college friend,
Paul and Adrienne (Josh Stewart and Jamie-Lynn Sigler) stop for the
night at Roy's Motel. Confronted by a surreal atmosphere and their
equally strange hosts, Frank and Sandy (Chris Browning and Angela
Featherstone), Paul begins to feel uneasy about his new
surroundings and wonders what lies in store for them.

Romantic comedy starring Kristen Bell, Josh Duhamel and Danny
DeVito. Beth Harper (Bell) is a young, career-driven New Yorker who
has hitherto been very unlucky in love. While on a whirlwind trip
to Rome for her sister's wedding, she is attracted to the best man,
Nick (Duhamel), but is dismayed to see him with another woman and
turns to drink to drown her disappointment. In her drunken state
she delves for coins in the famed 'Fontana de Amore', and is amazed
on her return to New York to find herself being pursued by not one
but five love-crazed men - including the delectable Nick. But is he
really in love with her, or simply under the fountain's spell?

Neo-Noir as Post-Classical Hollywood Cinema suggests the terms
"noir" and "neo-noir" have been rendered almost meaningless by
overuse. The book seeks to re-establish a purpose for neo-noir
films and re-consider the organization of 60 years of neo-noir
films. Using the notion of post-classical, the book establishes how
neo-noir breaks into many movements, some based on time and others
based on thematic similarities. The combined movements then form a
mosaic of neo-noir. The time-based movements examine Transitional
Noir (1960s-early 1970s), Hollywood Renaissance Noir in the 1970s,
Eighties Noir, Nineties Noir, and Digital Noir of the 2000s. The
thematic movements explore Nostalgia Noir, Hybrid Noir, and Remake
and Homage Noir. Academics as well as film buffs will find this
book appealing as it deconstructs popular films and places them
within new contexts.

Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett and Morgan Freeman lend
their voices to this CGI-animated comedy based on the line of toys
made by Lego. The wicked Lord Business (Will Ferrell) is determined
to destroy the Lego universe and rebuild it using glue - which goes
against the very nature of Lego. Mistaken as the 'Special', the
only surviving Master Builder, the rather ordinary Emmet (Pratt) is
selected to lead a group of figures on a mission to put a stop to
Lord Business's evil plan. Emmet is helped by wise wizard Vitruvius
(Freeman), tough girl Wyldstyle (Banks) and DC superhero Batman
(Arnett), but can he find something extraordinary within himself in
order to save the world? The film also features the voices of
Channing Tatum, Liam Neeson, Nick Offerman, Alison Brie and Jonah
Hill. The film won a BAFTA for Best Animated Film and was nominated
for Best Original Song at the Oscars.
The present book reveals the importance of preventive medicine in
cardiology and public health, addressing the lack of a broad
discussion of this topic in the current literature. It examines the
most important risk factors for different cardiovascular diseases,
discussing them in detail from a clinical standpoint and presenting
important information from a preventive medicine perspective.
Further, specific chapters discuss the burden of cardiologic risk
factors in special contexts, such as in women, child and
adolescents, and in low-income populations. Lastly, a number of
conditions that are often overlooked in terms of their
cardiological impact are discussed, such as Chagas disease,
rheumatic cardiomyopathy and post-traumatic stress disorder.
Cardiovascular diseases are still the major cause of death in the
world, even though they are considered preventable clinical
conditions. The increased prevalence of some risk factors for
cardiovascular diseases is an important concern for cardiologists
around the world. On the other hand, primary prevention programs
have proven their efficacy concerning some known and treatable risk
factors, such as with hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, diabetes
and smoking, but still need to be made more of a priority in public
health. Prevention of Cardiovascular Diseases is a book intended
for multi-disciplinary audience and aimed for all professionals who
are willing to face the challenge of cardiovascular prevention
