  New York, 1974. Fifty-year-old Chris (Clive Owen; Children of Men) has just been released from prison on good behaviour, several years after he was involved in a gangland murder. Waiting for him reluctantly outside the prison gates is his younger brother, Frank (Billy Crudup; Watchmen), a cop with a bright future. Hoping that Chris has changed, Frank is willing to give his brother a chance; he shares his home, finds him a job, and helps him reconnect with his children and his ex-wife (Marion Cotillard; The Dark Knight Rises). But Chris' past quickly begins to catch up with him, and his descent back into a life of crime becomes inevitable. For Frank, it's the last in a long line of betrayals, and he banishes him from his life. But it's already too late; the brothers' destiny will be bounded, forever. Blood ties are the ones that bind. Also starring; Mila Kunis (Black Swan), Zoe Saldana (Guardians of the Galaxy), Matthias Schoenaerts (Rust & Bone) and James Caan (The Godfather) Special Features: 'Behind the scenes'

• Family Matinee - March Of The Penguins/Charlie And The Chocolate Factory/Cats And Dogs | DVD | (18/09/2006) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £17.99

  March of the Penguins: Set against the barren splendour of the Antarctic March Of The Penguins captures in extraordinary detail the remarkable lengths that Emperor penguins go to every year to breed their young. This most grueling of courtship rituals begins with a long long walk and slide across hundreds of miles of ice rock and snow in freezing temperatures that regularly dip below -20c. Hampered by icy winds and polar storms the parent penguins risk starvation while guarding the single egg - not easy when contact between the egg and the frozen ground will prove fatal to the unborn chick - and face the perils of a trek back to the ocean in search of food where predators including leopard seals lie in wait. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: Tim Burton brings his vividly imaginative style to the beloved Roald Dahl classic Charlie and the Chocolate Factory about eccentric candy-maker Willy Wonka (Johnny Depp) and Charlie Bucket (Freddie Highmore) a good-hearted boy from a poor family who lives in the shadow of Wonka's extraordinary factory. Long isolated from his own family Wonka launches a worldwide contest to select an heir to his candy empire. Five lucky children including Charlie draw Golden Tickets from Wonka chocolate bars and win a guided tour of the legendary candy-making facility that no outsider has seen in 15 years. Dazzled by one amazing sight after another Charlie is drawn into Wonka's fantastic world in this astonishing and enduring story.

• Charlie And The Chocolate Factory | HD DVD | (14/05/2007) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £24.99

  Acclaimed director Tim Burton brings his vividly imaginative style to the beloved Roald Dahl classic Charlie and the Chocolate Factory about eccentric chocolatier Willy Wonka (Johnny Depp) and Charlie Bucket (Freddie Highmore) a good-hearted boy from a poor family who lives in the shadow of Wonka's extraordinary factory. Most nights in the Bucket home dinner is a watered-down bowl of cabbage soup which young Charlie gladly shares with his mother (Helena Bonham Carter) and father (Noah Taylor) and both pairs of grandparents. Theirs is a tiny tumbledown drafty old house but it is filled with love. Every night the last thing Charlie sees from his window is the great factory and he drifts off to sleep dreaming about what might be inside. For nearly fifteen years no one has seen a single worker going in or coming out of the factory or caught a glimpse of Willy Wonka himself yet mysteriously great quantities of chocolate are still being made and shipped to shops all over the world. One day Willy Wonka makes a momentous announcement. He will open his famous factory and reveal all of its secrets and magic to five lucky children who find golden tickets hidden inside five randomly selected Wonka chocolate bars. Nothing would make Charlie's family happier than to see him win but the odds are very much against him as they can only afford to buy one chocolate bar a year for his birthday. Indeed one by one news breaks around the world about the children finding golden tickets and Charlie's hope grows dimmer. First there is gluttonous Augustus Gloop who thinks of nothing but stuffing sweets into his mouth all day followed by spoiled Veruca Salt who throws fits if her father doesn't buy her everything she wants. Next comes Violet Beauregarde a champion gum chewer who cares only for the trophies in her display case and finally surly Mike Teavee who's always showing off how much smarter he is than everyone else. But then something wonderful happens. Charlie finds some money on the snowy street and takes it to the nearest store for a Wonka Whipple-Scrumptious Fudgemallow Delight thinking only of how hungry he is and how good it will taste. There under the wrapper is a flash of gold. It's the last ticket. Charlie is going to the factory! His Grandpa Joe (David Kelly) is so excited by the news that he springs out of bed as if suddenly years younger remembering a happier time when he used to work in the factory before Willy Wonka closed its gates to the town forever. The family decides that Grandpa Joe should be the one to accompany Charlie on this once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
