They are investigating the disappearance of Rachel Solando (Emily Mortimer), a patient who vanished from a locked room. Dr. John Cawley (Ben Kingsley), the head psychiatrist, explains that Rachel was institutionalized after drowning her three children.

- [ ] Alice In Wonderland

Plot: In this extension of Lewis Carroll’s original stories, Alice Kingsley, now 19, attends a party at a Victorian estate shortly after the death of her beloved father. The formal affair, unbeknownst to Alice, is an engagement party planned by her mother and sister. Just as the arrogant and boorish Lord Hamish Ascot proposes to Alice under a gazebo and before the eyes of hundreds of snooty society-types, Alice spots a white rabbit wearing a waistcoat and pocket watch. In shock and confusion, she runs off into a maze and follows the White Rabbit through it. She eventually tumbles down a rabbit hole into Underland, more commonly referred to as “Wonderland” by its inhabitants. She had visited this place 10 years earlier, but had entirely forgotten about it. She then reunites with her childhood friends, including the Mad Hatter, who explains to Alice that they need her help in over-throwing the Red Queen, who has taken control of Wonderland from her benevolent sister, the White Queen. Alice is also told that she is the only one who can slay the Jabberwock, thedragon who terrorizes the inhabitants of Wonderland under the rule of the Red Queen. Alice then embarks on an adventure of self-discovery in the process of saving Wonderland and her friends there from both the Jabberwock and the Red Queen’s reign of terror

Cast:

Mia Wasikowska as Alice. A 19-year-old young lady “who doesn’t quite fit into Victorian society and structure.” Her return to Wonderland “becomes a rite of passage as she discovers her voice and herself.” Alice will evolve over the course of the new film into a more empowered heroine than in previous incarnations. Alice will change size throughout the story, ranging from a height of merely six inches to a maximum of 20 feet tall.

Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter. Tim Burton explained that Depp “tried to find a grounding to the character, something that you feel, as opposed to just being mad. In a lot of versions it’s a very one-note kind of character and you know his goal was to try and bring out a human side to the strangeness of the character.” The orange hair is an allusion to the mercury poisoning suffered by many hatters who used mercury to cure felt. According to Depp: “I think he was poisoned, very, very poisoned, and it was coming out through his hair, through his fingernails and eyes.” The Mad Hatter is Alice’s ally. Wasikowska says: “They have an understanding about each other. They both feel like outsiders and feel alone in their separate worlds, and have a special bond and friendship.”In an interview, Depp stated his experience was “A dream come true” and that the Mad Hatter is like “A mood ring, his emotions are veryclose to the surface”

Helena Bonham Carter as Iracebeth, the Red Queen. Bonham Carter’s head will be increased in size by three times on screen. The Red Queen is the older sister of the White Queen. She also hates animals, and she proves this by using animals as furniture. Bonham Carter’s character is a combination of the Red Queen and the Queen of Hearts.

Crispin Glover as Ilosovic Stayne, the Knave of Hearts. He is the head of the Red Queen’s Army. Seven feet, six-inches tall, with a scarred face and a heart-shaped patch covering his left eye, Stayne is an arrogant, tricky character who follows the Red Queen’s every order. He’s the only one capable of pacifying her and calming her dramatic mood swings. “I am the martial element for the Red Queen,” says Glover. “The Red Queen has a fair amount of short-tempered reactions to things that people do, and so my character has to be quite diplomatic.” His darker side emerges in the shadows of the castle hallways.

Anne Hathaway as Mirana, the White Queen. Her character does not require digital manipulation. Hathaway summed up her character with a caption on a magnet of Happy Bunny holding a knife; “Cute but psycho. Things even out.” She is very eccentric and dramatic. According to Hathaway, “She comes from the same gene pool as the Red Queen. She really likes the dark side, but she’s so scared of going too far into it that she’s made everything appear very light and happy. But she’s living in that place out of fear that she won’t be able to control herself.” Hathaway describes her interpretation of the White Queen as “a punk-rock, vegan pacifist”, with inspiration drawn from Blondie, Greta Garbo, and the artwork of Dan Flavin.

Stephen Fry as the Cheshire Cat.  He is a dapper tabby with the ability to appear and disappear. He is all calm, casual sensuality with a seductive grin that masks his cowardice. It’s the cat’s disembodied head that first appears to Alice in Tulgey Wood after she’s been attacked by the vicious Bandersnatch. He offers to purify the gashes on her arm by licking them. Alice declines, although she allows him to lead her to the Hatter’s Tea Party where the Hatter blames him for deserting them on the day the Red Queen seized control of Underland. Using his skills and the Hatter’s coveted top hat, The Cheshire Cat later finds a way to redeem himself.

Michael Sheen as the White Rabbit. The White Rabbit works for the Red Queen, but is also a secret member of the Underland Underground Resistance. He was sent (by the Hatter) to search for Alice. Sheen stated, “The White Rabbit is such an iconic character that I didn’t feel like I should break the mold too much.”

Alan Rickman as Absolem, the Caterpillar. Rickman was filmed while recording his voice in a studio, but his face won’t be composited onto the character’s face as originally planned.

Christopher Lee as the Jabberwock. The Jabberwock is a vicious and nasty dragon that is owned by the Red Queen. An item in the film called “The Oraculum” suggests that John Tenniel’s original design for the Jabberwock will be used in the film.

Barbara Windsor as the Dormouse. Burton said that it was Windsor’s voice that sealed the deal for her role as Dormouse

Paul Whitehouse as the March Hare.

Matt Lucas as Tweedledum and Tweedledee. Burton said it was a mix of animation and Lucas. “It’s a weird mixture of things which gives his characters the disturbing quality that they so richly deserve.”

Michael Gough as the Dodo.

Timothy Spall as the Bayard, the Bloodhound.

- [ ] Digital Economy Bill

- [ ] The digital economy bill will become law before Parilment is dissovled in April, the bill will allow for contoversial law which will enable rights owners of copyrighted material to cut off or restrict internet access for users who download films and music illegally.  The point of the bill is to combat privary.  The earlier highlight of the 3 strikes and ur out rule has removed but has been repalce with something else. The Liberal Democrats forced through a surprise amendment to the bill’s notorious clause 17. Instead of new powers that threatened sweeping alterations to British copyright law, the Lib Dems added a clause that gives a high court judge the right to issue an injunction against a website accused of hosting a “substantial” amount of copyright-infringing material, potentially forcing the entire site offline.

- [ ] Final Fantasy XIII: Cocoon – a utopia in the sky.

Its inhabitants believed their world a paradise.

Under the Sanctum’s rule, Cocoon had long known peace and prosperity.

Nurtured by their benevolent protectors, the fal’Cie, humankind came to believe that these tranquil days would continue forever.

But the discovery of a single hostile fal’Cie changed everything.

The moment that fal’Cie from Pulse ‚Äì the feared and detested lowerworld ‚Äì awoke from its slumber, peace on Cocoon came to an end.

Fal’Cie brand humans, transforming them into magic-wielding servants.

They become l’Cie ‚Äì the fal‚ÄôCie‚Äôs chosen.

Those branded with the mark of the l’Cie must either do their master‚Äôs bidding or face a fate far worse than death.

A prayer for redemption…

A wish to protect the world…

A promise to challenge destiny…

After thirteen days, the intertwining fates of a chosen few will lead them to battle. A battle for the future.
