The Dark Knight.

Christian Bale once again embodies the man behind the mask in The Dark Knight. The film reunites Bale with director Christopher Nolan and takes Batman across the world in his quest to fight a growing criminal threat. With the help of Lieutenant Jim Gordon and District Attorney Harvey Dent, the new 'white knight', Batman has been making headway against local crime.

That is until a rising criminal mastermind, known simply as The Joker, unleashes a fresh reign of chaos across Gotham City. To stop this devious new menace – Batman's most personal and vicious enemy yet - he will have to use every high–tech weapon in his arsenal and confront everything he believes. There is still plenty of work to be done for if Gotham is ever to rid itself of its villainous underbelly.

'Out of the darkness, comes the Knight'

Successful and single businesswoman Kate Holbrook has long put her career ahead of a personal life. Now 37, she's finally determined to have a kid of her own. But her plan is thrown a curve ball when she discovers she has only a million–to–one chance of getting pregnant. Undaunted, the driven Kate allows South Philly working girl Angie Ostrowiski to become her unlikely surrogate. Simple enough…

After learning from the steely head (Sigourney Weaver) of their surrogacy centre that Angie is pregnant, Kate goes into precision nesting mode: reading childcare books, baby–proofing the apartment and researching top pre–schools. But the executive's well–organised strategy is turned upside down when her Baby Mama shows up at her doorstep with no place to live.

Georgia Nicolson is 14 years old, lives with nosey parents who don't understand her, an annoying three-year-old sister and has to wear a beret to school. She would, however, rather be blonde, have a smaller nose and a boyfriend.

Revolving around her hilarious journal entries, prepare to be engulfed in the world of the soaring joys and bottomless angst of being a teenager. This hilarious coming of age story is a very British take on American high school movies such as 'Clueless' and 'Mean Girls' and is based on the international best selling series of books by Louise Rennison.

Troubled by her ancient parents and buoyed by her cat Angus and her friends 'The Ace Gang' Georgia struggles through life in search of her main desires, to get a gorgeous sex god as a boyfriend and to throw the biggest and best 15th birthday party ever.

When handsome brothers Tom and Robbie arrive at school, she thinks her boyfriend dreams have been answered but things are never as simple as they seem.

'Teenage troubles …with hilarious consequences'
