We stayed at Aria for 5 nights in October and were fairly happy with our stay. The villa itself is nice, clean and spacious with typical hotel-decor and provides complete privacy. The only thing that I questioned about the villa is the mosquitonet which doesn't have a roof and therefore completely has no purpose.
The staff is very friendly but, except for receptionstaff, feel a bit confused and not really on top of everything. Housekeeping didn't come until late in the afternoon why we had to call for it to avoid being interrupted during afternoon nap or having a bath before leaving for dinner. To be fair, they did a good job when getting there.
Breakfast is average although we didn't understand why the buffet changed after two days resulting in fewer choices. The rest of the food we had was also average, including the candle light dinner during which we almost fell asleep waiting between courses.
Aria deserves a gold star for being the only accommodation on our trip who sent an email prior to our arrival welcoming us and offering to arrange free airporttransfer and express arrival (a perfect service well worth the extra $25 per person). I should add that the others were 5 star accommodations. Overall the receptionstaff were always not only friendly but also fulfilled our needs efficiently. I would also like to mention one of the guards in the back (a tall guy) who was kind enough to watch over our shoulders when arriving with taxi at night so we wouldn't be tricked by the driver. What a nice touch!
Aria definitively has potential with a little more experienced personnel and as soon as the madness of the constructions next door are finished. The peaceful atmosphere that Aria aims for clearly can't happen until the drilling noise stops.

Anglo-American co-production focusing on the Palmore family,
each of whom has a crisis of faith: the father loses his
congregation to a rival preacher and his faith in God; the mother
reconsiders her marriage, and the son - a university lecturer - discovers
that the philosophy to which he devoted his career is a Nazi sham. The
inter-connecting stories each have some extremely powerful
moments (Christ appearing to Warner; an extremely eerie confrontation
between Maloney and Pleasence), but generally feel
plodding; interfering with the main story-line of the Palmore daughter in
Jodhi May plays a member of the Mercy Mission of Divine Revelation, kidnapped by "exit counsellor" James Earl Jones (in her mother's employ), who slowly tries to reverse-brainwash her. May initially hallucinates that he is Satan, but quickly proves herself an extremely quick-witted woman who angrily battles him point by point in logical debate, before collapsing under the emotional strain.
Under chase from the FBI, the American section is fast-paced and nail-biting; scenes between May and Earl Jones are terrifying. May's relationship with her mother is extremely emotionally affecting (such as the scene where she first hugs her then, distraught, beats her, declaring "You're nothing to me") - and the whole series should be watched for Jodhi May's peerless performance. If only it had been a two-hour film focusing on the one plot, however; the writer's only flaw is trying to build up suspense by frequently inserting slow, dull scenes about the Palmore men.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
(Some spoilers; just trying to describe the movie)
This was a telefilm produced by both the US and the UK and shown on PBS's Masterpiece Theatre. It's really like watching several seemingly different stories unfold, and the satisfaction of seeing them all tie into one another. It's a patient story, so I don't want to say it's "slow" or "boring" but I advise people to really let the film set its own pace, reveal its complex characters and the bigger story of what faith means to a person. It's not a religious story, but it shows multiple views of personal faith: the conflict between a logic-minded son and his father who is a church leader; the effect on Christianity and strict parenting which alienates a daughter and allows her to be vulnerable to a mysterious cult. It also touches on the secular blind faith behind historical institutions -- how our own histories are like Biblical passages, unwilling to be rewritten or reconsidered. I was really impressed by this story. It left more questions than answers, and that's what made it so compelling and unforgettable. The story picks up the pace when James Earl Jones' character, a de-programmer, is hired by the mother of the family who lost their daughter to the strange doomsday cult. In order to get her back, they essentially have to kidnap her and brainwash her again to get her back to normal, a process that is intentionally uneasy, meant to make you think cult de-programming is no different than cult re-programming. But don't get me wrong -- this in no way sanctifies cults in any way. To loosely quote a character from the movie: there are signs and wonders everywhere -- it simply depends on what you want see.
this is a good story about cults, how they really are and what it it like to leave one. it is also the best role of james earl jones i think other than darth vader or thulsa doom. the story has particular significance for me as i left a cult type of thing right before i watched it on public broadcasting. i could relate, plus the lead actress whatever her name is way cool.

All Waitlist requests submitted on Thursday, December 3rd, 2015 beginning at 10:00am until 10:00pm on Friday, December 4th, 2015 will be given the same date classification. All requests received from 10:01pm on Friday, December 4th will be sorted based on the date and time your request was received.

The Finance Department's Drop Deadlines are different than the University's
Finance DROP Deadline - Monday, January 25th, 2016
Should you decide to drop a Finance course, you must do so through Penn In Touch prior to the Finance Department's drop deadline. If you drop a Finance course after the department deadline you will receive a "W" on your transcript.
Finance Concentration
The concentration in Finance develops the skills necessary to work at a high level of expertise in all areas of finance, in both the private as well as public sectors: asset management; commercial and investment banking in an international context; the financial management ('treasury function') of commercial and industrial enterprises as well as of financial institutions; the financial aspects of venture capital as well as of mergers and acquisition; and in most aspects of management consulting in both the domestic as well as the international sectors. In addition, concentrating in finance equips students well for careers in law and government, and not simply in the private sector.
To complete the concentration, students are required to complete FNCE 100 and FNCE 101, and any four additional courses offered by the Finance Department. These courses must be taken for a grade.
The department offers a large number of upper level courses in a variety of these areas, and students are encouraged to choose among these broadly, to develop their skills widely. It is not wise to focus all one's courses in a narrow area, however appealing this may be immediately. The field of finance changes rapidly and the aim of the concentration is to develop the basic tools, to be able to learn and adapt these skills as needs of the specific job changes.
For a complete listing of FNCE courses, refer to the Undergraduate Course Listings Page.
Several types of specialized programs can be devised, if desired, but it is recommended that the students seek the suggestion of the advisor before doing so.
1. Only one Finance 399, Independent Study OR Advanced Study may be applied to the concentration. Independent Studies must be supervised by a member of the Finance Department standing faculty.
2. No courses taken Pass/Fail may be applied towards meeting the concentration requirement.
3. Students cannot obtain credit for both FNCE 101 and ECON 102 (formerly ECON 004). ECON 102 (ECON 004) does not count towards the FNCE 101 requirement. Students who have already taken ECON 102 (ECON 004) must take a higher level FNCE elective to count towards the FNCE 101 requirement. Since this course replaces FNCE 101 it must be taken for a grade. For students concentrating in Finance, additionally, this higher level elective used for the FNCE 101 requirement will not count as one of the four courses required for the Finance concentration.

Matale Girls' Dormitory GlobalGiving Report
In the Spring of 2009, The Harambee Centre and Southridge High School in Beaverton Oregon brought four students, Robert Kasumba, Specioza Naligo, Rita Nabukenya, Denis Kagimu, and Father Joseph Kato on an intercultural exchange trip to the US, the first of Uganda its kind between Matale and their sister school Southridge. In November 2011, nationwide in the senior four (S.4) class sat for their O-Level Uganda Certificate of Education exams. One of the students on that trip, Robert Kasumba was the best in Rakai district, an accomplishment not seen before at Matale. Matale had its best year academically with 11 first grades and 27 second grades. This performance was not possible a few years ago. With the help of many of our supporters to fund a new science laboratory, Robert Kasumba and his classmates were enabled to perform well. Below is an email that Robert sent to the Harambee Centre after they received the results.
Am so glad to thank you for the support you've given to our school in all aspects that has enabled the school to perform well in last year's UCE exams that have been recently released. The science Laboratory that you constructed and opened in 2008 for the school has enabled us so much to improve our performance in the Exams.
Secondly I would like to thank you for the project you've embarked on of establishing a girl's Dormitory. I know it will help the girl students to improve in their lives and give them a comfortable environment for their Education.
Best Regards,
Robert Kasumba."
After reviewing the results, the fact still remains that the girls are not doing as well as the boys. They have the same potential as the boys, but the odds are against them. Our proposed girls' dormitory is meant to address some of the challenges the girls of St. Andrews and the Matale community that cannot afford to go to the pricier, better equipped private school in Uganda face.
The science laboratory gave Matale one of the best facilities in the district, and two years after it was completed the results are speaking for themselves. It is with this same approach that we know the girls' dormitory will create a safe place for the girls of Matale, enabling them to focus on their education.
Help us reach to this goal, and to give hope and opportunity for the girls of Matale. By investing in the girls, we invest in a better community for tomorrow.
Thank you.

Hilton HHonors™ Card
American Express®
Social Media 2015 in a nutshellSource: https://plus.google.com/111734108729371718469
American Express®
Every man's heart one day beats its final beat. His lungs breathe a final breath. And if what that man did in his life makes the blood pulse through the body of others and makes them bleed deeper and something larger than life, then his essence, his spirit, will be immortalized.
Punk,Slater,Jericho do their best Rick Rude impression.
Imagine that.
Some great artwork from Ghost Thunder Collective! Check out some more wrestling artwork here!
"He's Got… Geena Davis Tights" - WCW Magazine [July 1993]
Years before Trent Barreta would imprint Bill Murray onto his kneepad, Rick Rude was walking around WCW with various Hollywood starlets airbrushed onto his tights. My only disappointment with this photo is that WCW Magazine robbed us from seeing how Christina Applegate looked on Rude's crotch.
D-Generation X
I Feel Real Good and I Look Better, I Make a Burlap Bag Look Like a Cashmere Sweater: "Ravishing" Rick Rude and the Wonder of Airbrushed Tights
Outside of professional wrestling, men have been saddled with boring pants for a very long time. We're expected to wear khakis to work, jeans at home, and shorts in the summer. We get checkers and stripes for patterns. We just got colored denim. The internet fashion community is doing some tremendously interesting things with leggings, but beyond the problems I have with that particular item of clothing (they seem designed to fit women who largely exist on dimensions not our own; they're incredibly expensive), the gates of this particular fashion promised land remain closed to me because I'm a dude: if I want a pair of leggings, I've got to pony up dough to companies with names like "Meggings," because we dudes have to re-masculate everything we come in contact with, so you know it ain't for girls.
But wrestling has been making the case for long tights on men for decades, and few wrestlers have done so more succinctly than "Ravishing" Rick Rude, whose tights were as much a part of his gimmick as the mustache and his insistence that we, the inner-city sweathogs in the crowd, shut our yaps while he took off his robe to show the world what a real sexy man looked like. Rude wore the tights out of necessity — his belief that wrestling was "an upper-body business" led him to skip more than a few leg days at the gym—but he took that situation and made the best of it, turning his tights into advertisements for his greatness. Few of these would be good for everyday wear, but here are ten of my favorite designs of the 200 or so the ravishing one had in his collection, with more to follow in the future:
The Cheryl Roberts: Want to cut a man down to the bone? Commission an airbrushed portrait of his significant other on a skintight piece of spandex and wear their face in public. Rude earned a few DDTs from Jake the Snake Roberts, but he also earned enough to have a few pairs of these made in different colors.
The Junkyard Dog: Rude would often wear his opponents visage to the ring for crucial matches. Presumably, a man's soul dies when he sees his likeness grinding and gyrating atop him.
The Intercontinental Championship: The design everybody thinks of when they remember Rick Rude, sullied only somewhat by the childish airbrushing of The Ultimate Warrior on the back (a grave insult according to Gorilla Monsoon). The strap on the front of these fleshtone tights is suitable for framing, for painting on the side of your custom van, or for WrestleMania V. Take your pick.
The Manicure: Not subtle.
The Crown Jewels: Because he was wrestling Davey Boy Smith in England. I can't tell, but that's probably either Fergie or Diana throwing herself at Cartoon Rude, from one leg to the next. Rick Rude > Prince Charles.
The Everyday: Rick Rude pulls these off way better than I could, but if this striking blue/black pair of tights showed up in a store or online, I'd be hard pressed not to buy them. In fact, replica tights are the final frontier of professional wrestling merchandise. I suspect that's because the WWE thinks we're all John Cena cosplayers, and as such are perfectly happy to walk the earth in sneakers and cargo shorts. Not me. When I walk the streets, I want to look like an impossible animal. These are my jam.
The Sexiest Man Alive: While Rude's hair and signature mustache would both be subject to the razor during his WCW tenure, both often showed up on his later tights. The mustache must have been as comfortable as a favorite pair of jeans.
The 70s Concert Poster: When you absolutely, positively have to let a man like Dusty Rhodes know that the difference between you and he is that you make human flesh look good.
The Most Eligible Bachelor of the 90s: Rude looked like an angry sailor during much of his WCW run, but the hottest ladies of the early 1990s were into that whole shore leave thing, apparently.
The Harlequin: The result of an imaginative kid's afternoon with Crayola Crayons and a sheet of construction paper after finding one of mom's novels. This is the kind of thing Rick Rude got away with on public television for the better part of a decade.
Sadly, Rick Rude was less than ravishing while acting as a manager across ECW, WWF, and WCW, as drab brown suits and a blocky goatee became the order of the day. But in the future, when men have finally shed their insecurities about their masculinity and shed the five pounds of worthless garbage occupying their pockets, we can all look back at Rude's in-ring career as a harbinger of a glorious new era in fashionable menswear.
Time to tell the world what YOU'd like to have right now. Time to insult the residents of the town you're in. Time to keep the noise down while you take your robe off, and show the ladies what Simply Ravishing is all about!
R.I.P. to the O.G. pussy magnet "Ravishing" Rick Rude
(December 7, 1958 – April 20, 1999)

AbstractThis Ranger Phase I SBIR proposes an innovative approach to extracting knowledge from unstructured and semi-structured documents in order to meet critical needs of both government and commercial organizations. This SBIR will specifically address the needs of the 45th Space Wing (45 SW) of the Air Force Space Command. 45 SW provides space launch and range support for the Air Force, DoD, civil, and commercial customers. A key goal of this SBIR is to provide a solution that fits into the 45 SW's Knowledge Management Framework. The 45 SW envisions a single integrated range picture serving critical information needs for the entire spaceport community. This effort will tackle a key challenge in making the vision a reality, which is to extract knowledge from the wealth of unstructured and semi-structured information sources. Ranger will link these sources with structured sources via a unifying enterprise model. Ranger's API make this unified view available to both application developers and to users who want to search for information.

The general question to be considered in this paper points to the nature of the world described by chemistry: what is macro-chemical ontology like? In particular, we want to identify the ontological categories that underlie chemical discourse and chemical practice. This is not an easy task, because modern Western metaphysics was strongly modeled by theoretical physics. For this reason, we attempt to answer our question by contrasting macro-chemical ontology with the mainstream ontology of physics and of traditional metaphysics. In particular, we introduce the distinction between stuff-ontology, proper of chemistry, and individual-ontology, proper of physics. These two ontologies differ from each other in the basic categories of their own structures. On this basis, we characterize individual-ontology in such a way that the features of stuff-ontology will arise by contrast with it.

CHICAGO – The stage play that Harry Lennix is in town to direct – "A Small Oak Tree Runs Red" – is in its last weekend, and is giving the actor/director the best notices of the theater part in his long and successful career. For more information about the play, and ticket availability, click here.
Film Review: 'After Earth' Proves M. Night Shyamalan's Checkmate With Mismatched Smith Family
CHICAGO – Oscar accolades are a godsend, but so are they an affliction. They're the ultimate vote of respect from your industry, but then you've got to keep being as genius as they thought you were. In M. Night Shyamalan's case, it's all gone downhill since his 1999 smash-hit "The Sixth Sense," which was nominated for six of these portly golden statues. Now attaching his name to a movie does it more destruction than good.
Rating: 1.5/5.0
After first trying to emulate Alfred Hitchock and failing to, Shyamalan shifted to attempting a blockbuster with 2010's "The Last Airbender," which won at the box office but failed with critics. Back for redemption in 2013, he teamed up with the most mismatched kin you could imagine: the profitable Hollywood family comprised of Will, Jaden, Jada Pinkett and Caleeb Pinkett Smith.
The result of Shyamalan trying to evidence he could rise to J.J. Abrams or Steven Spielberg blockbuster caliber is that he can't and likely never will. "After Earth" is a wasteland riddled with cinematic trash the likes of which would take thousands of words to successfully dissect. But I'll humor you nonetheless – while our critic, Brian Tallerico, already has in his 1-out-5 trashing.
|Read Adam Fendelman's full review of "After Earth".
From the 12 titles he's written and mostly all directed (excluding "After Earth" because it just opened), I calculate that Shyamalan films have a cumulative global box-office gross of $2.5 billion on total production budgets of $665 million (according to Box Office Mojo data from 2010's "Devil" back to 1992's "Praying With Anger").
Only one Shyamalan film had a global gross less than its production budget (1998's mega flop "Wide Awake"), and by the numbers, he's a financial success over and over again. But numbers lie. In the hearts and minds of moviegoers and critics, he's a failure time and time again who keeps trying to prove he's a legend that he's not. Out of 12, only two – "The Sixth Sense" (his biggest big-office hit, at $672 million, and most profitable film) and 2002's "Signs" (his second biggest, at $408 million) – should have made it to Hollywood.

Consumer electronics sales rises by 9%
Jasper Huitink : September 16th 2005 - 18:30 CET
Consumer electronic sales rises by 9% :
Digital cameras, flat panels, communications devices and MP3 players continue to drive consumer electronics (CE) industry sales growth as evidenced in figures released today by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) in its revised U.S. Consumer Electronics Sales and Forecast Report. According to Market Research, total CE factory-to-dealer sales in 2005 are projected to increase 9% on revenues of $123 billion. CEA reported that final year-end figures indicate total industry sales grew 10% in 2004, totaling $113 billion in revenues. CEA reported that some sales increases are coming as consumers make replacement or upgrade purchases, specifically pointing to the digital camera and wirele
Wargo - Top sales
Wargo also noted that CEA upwardly revised MP3 projections based on continued consumer interest in portable audio products. Total MP3 sales are projected to reach 15.9 million units in 2005, compared to 7.1 in 2004. Satellite radio sales also are expected to do well in 2005, contributing to the audio and after-market categories. "The CE industry certainly is delivering on the digital promise for consumers." "Prices are low. It's a great time to be shopping for consumer electronics."
CEA President - Healthy growth
"The consumer electronics industry continues to enjoy healthy growth and consumers are faring even better thanks to competitive pricing and overall price deflation," said CEA President and CEO Gary Shapiro. "While price declines and competition place pressure on profit margins, these factors also help drive total unit sales as consumers flock to join the digital era. With this in mind, we have upwardly revised sales projections for several product categories in our updated 2005 forecast report."
Digital cameras - Consumers keep buying
"Even with digital cameras now in 49 percent of U.S. homes, consumers are purchasing higher mega-pixel digital cameras as upgrades to their original digital cameras," said CEA Director of Industry Analysis Sean Wargo. "We're seeing a similar upgrade mentality with wireless communications handsets. Many consumers are opting for digital camera phones and smart phone devices as opposed to direct model replacement purchases. This demonstrates how established these products are in the lives of consumers."
CEA - Forecast
CEA reported in the Forecast Report that digital camera sales totaled 18.9 million units in 2004, representing $4.7 billion in industry sales. The revised forecast report shows an updated 2005 sales projection of 23.1 million units on an estimated $6.1 billion. The average digital camera unit price also is expected to increase from $251 to $265, whereas the flash media category is expected to experience a unit price decline. Despite the price decline, flash media is projected to produce $3.5 billion in sales in 2005 compared to $3.1 billion in 2004.
Electronica - Consumers benefit
Consumers also will benefit from flat panel wholesale price declines, which Wargo attributes to manufacturing cost efficiencies and robust competition. The average LCD unit price will decrease from $857 in 2004 to $754 this year; the average plasma unit price is projected to decrease from $2,698 to $1,953. CEA expects plasma and LCD unit shipments to nearly double compared to last year as consumers enjoy the lower prices. LCD unit sales are projected to reach 3.9 million units on $3 billion compared to 1.8 million units and $1.6 billion in 2004. Plasma unit shipments are projected to reach 2 million and $3.9 billion, increasing dramatically over the 2004 volumes of 870,000 units and $2.3 billion.

Almost 9 in 10 mobile shoppers report a negative experience and a third of them turn to competitors as a result, according to a report by Skava. The study also found that 30% of smartphone users said they would never return after a bad experience. "We assumed that the need for filling in credit card and billing details would be the main reason people don't like shopping on mobile. However, what was surprising was that this wasn't the main reason people didn't shop on mobile –- it was because they found the retailer's websites hard to use," said Danielle McCormick, senior director of marketing at Skava.

100. Insomnia
Year: 2002 Director: Christopher NolanAl Pacino employs blessed few "Hoo-ah!" histrionics in this moody cat-and-mouse game, a solid remake of the bleaker, better (natch) 1997 Norwegian thriller. Stepping into Stellan Skarsgård's unsteady shoes, Pacino stars as Will Dormer, a sleep-deprived L.A. detective called to the midnight sun-cursed Alaskan town of Nightmute (ooh, irony) to investigate the murder of a teenage girl. Director Christopher Nolan winds the tension by splicing in the sensory details of Dormer's trancelike existence, the casualties of which include his longtime partner (Martin Donovan). Hilary Swank is great as a sharp but wide-eyed local cop in awe of Pacino's big city veteran, but it's Robin Williams who quietly steals the show here. In his second villainous role of 2002 (the other being One Hour Photo), Williams, as a writer hip to Dormer's own story, matches Pacino note for measured note. Their tête-à-têtes, all low-decibel volleys, are riveting. In a cinematic landscape of physical and psychological extremes, Williams' performance is a reminder of how nuanced an actor he could be.—Amanda Schurr
99. Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father
Director: Kurt Kuenne Year: 2008
Kurt Kuenne was childhood friends with a man named Andrew Bagby, who, in late 2001, was murdered by ex-girlfriend Shirley Turner. Relieved he'd finally put an end to a turbulent relationship, he had no idea Turner was pregnant. So she killed him, then fled to Newfoundland, where she gave birth to Bagby's son, Zachary. This is how Dear Zachary begins: a visual testament to both Andrew Bagby's life, as well as the enduring hearts of his parents, who, as Kuenne chronicles, moved to Newfoundland after their son's murder to begin proceedings to gain custody of Zachary. Kuenne only meant the film to be a gift, a love letter to his friend postmarked to Zachary, to allow the baby to one day get to know his father via the many, many people who loved him most. Told in interviews, photos, phone calls, seemingly every piece of detritus from one man's life, Kuenne's eulogy is an achingly sad portrait of someone who, in only 28 years, deeply affected the lives of so many people around him. And then Dear Zachary transforms into something profoundly else. It begins to take on the visual language and tone of an infuriating true-crime account, painstakingly detailing the process by which Bagby's parents gained custody and then—just as they were beginning to find some semblance of consolation—faced their worst nightmares. The film at times becomes exquisitely painful, but Kuenne has a natural gift for tension and pacing that neither exploits the material nor drags the audience through melodramatic mud. In retrospect, Dear Zachary's expositional approach may seem a bit cloying, but that's only because Kuenne is willing to tell a story with all the disconsolate surprise of the tragedy itself. You're gonna bawl your guts out.—Dominic Sinacola
98. Omar
Year: 2014 Director:Hany Abu-Assad
More trenchant as a political allegory than a character drama, Omar is more interested in the ideas within this slow-burn thriller than in plot machinations. To writer-director Hany Abu-Assad, maniacal twists and cunning action set pieces would simply get in the way—better that we spend our time thinking about why the characters find themselves in this situation at all. Nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar, Omar stars Adam Bakri as the titular young Palestinian, who must daily scale the imposingly tall security wall that separates him from his girlfriend, Nadia (Leem Lubany). Though very much in love, they haven't yet revealed their relationship to her brother (and Omar's good friend) Tarek (Eyad Hourani), who is planning with Omar and another close pal, Amjad (Samer Bisharat), to kill an Israeli soldier. The three friends' mission is a success—it's Amjad who pulls the trigger—but soon after, Omar is snagged by Israeli forces, led by Agent Rami (Waleed F. Zuaiter). Threatening Omar with imprisonment, Rami promises him freedom if he'll deliver Tarek, the group's leader, to them in exchange. What's most resonant in Omar is that, just as we can't always gauge the characters, they're, too, concealing parts of themselves from each other, a byproduct of living in a part of the world where distrust is commonplace and secrecy a necessity. Which is why Omar's startling ending is both somewhat mystifying and also oddly perfect—we don't see it coming, and yet deep down, we're not surprised at all that it happened.—Tim Grierson
97. The Running Man
Year: 1987 Director: Paul Michael Glaser
While The Running Man lacks the sophistication and dynamic pacing of a certain other Schwarzenegger-starring/dystopian sci-fi/satire film, its entertainment value is nothing to sneer at. Adapted loosely from a Stephen King novel of the same name, The Running Man depicts a future where everyone dresses like they're at an '80s-themed Halloween party and citizens regularly tune into a show where convicted criminals must fight to survive against both their fellow contestants and professional killers. Insert Hunger Games reference here. Between the absurd production design and Paula Abdul-choreographed dance sequences, any attempted satire is all but buried in a thick layer of silly. Still, in terms of sheer fun value, this film is quite the gem.—Mark Rozeman
96. Cold in July
Year: 2014 Director: Jim Mickle
Richard Dane seems like a decent-enough man. Living in East Texas in 1989, he has a wife and child, and when he hears a noise coming from the living room late one night, he goes out cautiously, holding his dead father's gun tentatively. He didn't mean to kill anyone. And he certainly didn't intend to have just about everything in his world change in the moment when he accidentally pulled the trigger. Michael C. Hall plays Richard, not overdoing the character's regular-hick modesty. Adapted from Joe R. Lansdale's novel, Cold in July has a steely, slightly off-kilter vibe. Less extreme than the regional portraits preferred by the Coen brothers, the movie soaks up the period details, particularly in Jeff Grace's wry nod to the synthesizer-driven scores of the 1980s. As in his past films, Mickle demonstrates an impressive degree of tonal control: Cold in July clearly pays homage to a certain style of bygone genre filmmaking, but not at the expense of the characters or the stakes. (Still, not for nothing is a crucial scene set at a drive-in theater.) Consequently, the film has both a giddy, escapist feel and a grim suspense, its self-conscious artificiality melding perfectly with its barebones emotional authenticity.—Tim Grierson
95. Sixteen Candles
Year: 1984 Director: John Hughes
It's the movie that made Molly Ringwald a star, and rightfully so: as Samantha, the everywoman whose parents forgot her birthday and whose crush doesn't know she exists, she appeals to the angsty high-schooler yearning to be seen in all of us. Samantha's undeniably middle-of-the-road—she's not popular, but she's not a geek; her home life is messy, but it's not dysfunctional—and that gives her mass appeal, so much so that her story's become sort of a modern fairy tale, the American Dream of teen romantic comedies. —Bonnie Stiernberg
94. Exit through the Gift Shop
Year: 2010When renowned graffiti artist Banksy took the camera away from Thierry Guetta, the man shooting his biopic, and decided that the subject would become the documentarian (and the documentarian, the subject), an incomparably zany (and very, very funny) documentary was born. Against all odds, Mr. Brainwash, as Guetta christens himself, puts on the largest and most profitable street art exhibition in history. The film never quite takes a side on the Warholian question of whether Guetta/Mr. Brainwash is actually a legitimate artist or has merely convinced enough people that he is—or whether those are one and the same, or whether it even matters. But the most compelling theme of the film is its cinematic exploration of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle: That a phenomenon cannot be observed or measured without simultaneously changing it. Guetta never puts spray can to wood until he's being documented by Banksy. Does that mean Banksy made him what he is? Destroyed, in some sense, what he was? And is that good or bad, or neither? Banksy's not saying.—Michael Dunaway
93. The Invitation
Year: 2016 Director: Karyn Kusama Available: July 8
The less you know about Karyn Kusama's The Invitation, the better. She slow-burns to perfection. The Invitation is a tale of deep and intimate heartache, the kind that none of us hopes to ever have to endure in our own lives. The film taps into a nightmare vein of real-life dread, of loss so profound and pervasive that it fundamentally changes who you are as a human being. That's where we begin: with an examination of grief. It's remarkable for its foundation, for all of the substantive storytelling infrastructure that Kusama builds the film upon in the first place. The film starts in earnest as Will (Logan Marshall-Green in top form) arrives at a dinner party his ex-wife, Eden (Tammy Blanchard), is throwing at what once was their house. He has brought his girlfriend, Kira (Emayatzy Corinealdi), along with him. But something is undeniably off at Eden's place, and because Will is the lens through which Kusama's audience engages with the film, we cannot tell what that something is. There is oh so much more to be said about The Invitation, especially its climax, where all is revealed and we see Will's fears and Eden's spiritual affirmations for what they are. Until then you'll remain on tenterhooks, but to Kusama, jitters and thrills are sensations worth savoring.—Andy Crump
92. Results
Results is a significant departure for Andrew Bujalski. While relatively low-budget, this is the director's biggest film to date—there's no shaky camerawork or poor sound quality here, and working, notable actors are seemingly getting working day rates. Bujalski's Funny Ha Ha, in 2002, was one of the first to be coined "mumblecore," and the awkward but natural performances from its nonprofessional actors became a defining characteristic of the movement. There's certainly more polish from Cobie Smulders, Guy Pearce and Kevin Corrigan, but their performances—refined and, admittedly, "professional"—only enhance the lived-in nature of the characters Bujalski's created. These characters all happen to be rather pathetic, emotionally stunted and odd human beings—but you can't help but become invested in their lives, each with their own endearing quirks, each amusing in their own way to discover and observe. The film is a series of tiny, revealing moments. —Regan Reid
91. Dope
Year: 2015 Director: Rick Famuyiwa
At its core, Dope is a coming-of-age story told from the black geek perspective. Malcolm (Shameik Moore) is a brainy high school student who's trying to leave "The Bottoms" of Inglewood, California. This isn't a straight-up, feel-good comedy—drugs and gangs aren't easy comic fodder—but Dope satirizes preconceived notions of race and culture. Famuyiwa keeps things entertaining while still posing hard-hitting questions to the characters and audience. Dope's infectious energy, and Famuyiwa's tendency to throw genre and stereotypes to the wind, is refreshing. Dope is dope. —Christine N. Ziemba
90. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
Year: 2011 Director: Tomas AlfredsonSteeped in the monochrome color palette and noir soundtrack of 1970s espionage cinema, Tomas Alfredson's adaptation of John le Carré's classic bestselling spy novel offers smart, nostalgic entertainment for a discerning adult audience. Set in 1973 at the height of the Cold War, the film turns on the suspicion that a double agent has infiltrated Britain's Secret Intelligence Service (SIS), a.k.a. MI6. Shortly after a botched operation to ferret out the mole ends his career, Control (John Hurt) dies, leaving his investigation in the hands of retired operative George Smiley (Gary Oldman). With grayed blond hair and owlish glasses, Oldman disappears into his role, not only physically but behaviorally. Smiley is a still man, watching and waiting, while his mind whirs, processing and analyzing years' worth of data, information and memories.—Annlee Ellingson
89. Gladiator
Year: 2000 Director: Ridley Scott
In Gladiator, Sir Ridley Scott shamelessly leans on the glitz of Hollyrome; it's a shallow, overused trope, but if you can stomach the utter film's veneer of historical fakery, you'll be rewarded with some absolutely spectacular bloodshed. Here, too, Gladiator wrestles with issues of accuracy – particularly in its opening fracas – but when swordplay and siege is this well staged, you're on the wrong side of cinema if you dare reach for your Latin textbooks. Whether on the battlefield or in the arena, Gladiator's magnificently orchestrated violence will keep you held firmly in its crimson-streaked thrall; you will be entertained.—Andy Crump
88. A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night
Year: 2014 Director: Ana Lily Amirpour
The ravishing look of writer-director Ana Lily Amirpour's feature debut is so enveloping that it doesn't much matter that not a lot happens within the frame. Draped in dreamy black-and-white and scored with proto-Morricone instrumentals and evocative goth-rock, A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night proudly stakes its claim as an aspiring cult classic. Advertising itself as "the first Iranian Vampire Western," the film transcends just about every word in that description, and yet it has the defiant one-dimensionality of a lurid graphic novel. The film stars Sheila Vand (Argo) as the titular girl. She lives in Bad City, a desert community littered with slowly churning oil derricks and an unsettling open pit where dead bodies are dumped. This unnamed character walks the city streets at night decked out in a chador, which makes her look like a superhero. More accurately, she's a vampire, feasting indiscriminately on men deserving of the grisly fate. (Pimps and other baddies seem to be favored targets.) The other important character is Arash (Arash Marandi), a strikingly handsome young man who takes a liking to this mysterious woman, not knowing her true identity. Shot in Southern California, A Girl Walks is a triumph of high-contrast lighting, the dark shadows coexisting with the flickering streetlights. Like Jim Jarmusch, Amirpour enjoys playing around with genres from an ironic distance, letting her noir-ish tone set the terms for everything else that goes into the film. She has a knack for the finely tuned marriage of sound and picture, drafting scenes and moments that stun the senses.—Tim Grierson
87. Philomena
Year: 2004 Director: Stephen Frears Philomena, follows a woman's search for her son, who was "sold off" by the Irish Catholic church 50 years earlier. Starring Judi Dench and Steve Coogan, the heartbreaking twists and turns of Philomena's journey are even more jaw-dropping as we learn the story is based on the 2009 nonfiction book The Lost Child of Philomena Lee, by BBC correspondent Martin Sixsmith. In 1950s Ireland young Philomena (Sophie Kennedy Clarke) is disowned by her family after a tryst results in pregnancy. Sent to Roscrea convent, she works in the laundries to pay for her room and board—and her sins. She and the other young mothers are allowed to see their children for an hour a day. Philomena and her son Anthony adhere to this limited schedule for nearly three years until Anthony is adopted, against her wishes, on Christmas 1955. Nearly five decades later, the elderly Philomena (Dench) reveals the secret she's been keeping all these years to her daughter. They reach out to Sixsmith (Coogan), a recently fired British government flack and former BBC journalist, to help Philomena search for her lost son. Although talking about "chemistry" is usually reserved for romantic onscreen relationships, it applies here in spades. Dench and Coogan create a believable rapport for their disparate characters. They play with the yin and yang expertly, and we watch as the characters both grow from their experience together in subtle, yet substantial, ways. The bittersweet mystery could have easily strayed into maudlin, tabloid territory, if it solely targeted evil nuns or a Catholic Church coverup. But instead, Philomena adds much-needed moments of humor s it follows the journey for the truth, raising questions about faith, infallibility and family. The steady direction by Frears, coupled with the snappy and substantive dialogue, keeps the film grounded when even the truth becomes hard to believe.—Christine N. Ziemba
86. Seymour: An Introduction
Year: 2015 Director: Ethan Hawke
You could be excused for assuming that the documentary Seymour: An Introduction was just a vanity project for director Ethan Hawke, who has the means and the name to engage in such thing. But if you assumed that, you'd be missing quite a powerful film. Hawke first met composer, pianist and piano teacher Seymour Bernstein at a dinner party, and was immediately taken with him, as viewers will be, as well. As he began spending more time with the octogenarian, he became more and more taken not only with his life story, but also with his views of art and of life well lived. Seymour: An Introduction turns out to be part biopic, part artistic musing and part late-night "meaning of life" discussion, and Hawke shows a deft touch in balancing the three. He takes a remarkable individual who's influenced his life and thinking, and shares him with the rest of us. It's a generous—and a moving—piece of filmmaking. —Michael Dunaway
85. Hard to Be a God
Year: 2015 Director: Aleksei GermanAleksei German's final film is a stark, wild journey through medieval sci-fi filth. Like the drunken bastard child of a dreamy Andrei Tarkovsky epic and a Terry Gilliam yarn, in Hard to Be a God we see hints of Tarkovsky's pensive takes, as well as his predilection toward existential speculative fiction (he adapted his 1979 film Stalker from a novel by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky, the same Russian brothers who wrote Hard to Be a God in 1964), coupled with a sort of sensory overload as German's frames wander through countless intricate details that call to mind Gilliam, another director attracted to obsessive, timeless dystopia. Tarkovsky may have a penchant for surreal confusion, but he anchors his oneiric sensibilities in characters' motivations, desires, and souls. Here, there's no real motivation, no real desire, and no real soul, just a crawl through depravity. But if that's all you're after, then here you go: This shit is executed majestically. —Jeremy Mathews
84. Short Term 12
Year: 2013 Director: Destin Cretton
As it progresses, Short Term 12 remains rigorously structured in terms of plot; yet it never feels calculated. In fact, the film serves as a fine example of how invisible screenwriting can be. By allowing his characters' irrational emotions to influence events and instigate key turning points, Cretton capably masks the film's finely calibrated story mechanics. And while everything seemingly comes to a head during a key crisis, it's only fitting that the story ends with a denouement that bookends its opening. Cretton's clear-eyed film is far too honest to try and convince us that there's been any sort of profound change for Grace or anyone else. Instead, it's content to serve as a potent reminder that tentative first steps can be every bit as narratively compelling as great leaps of faith.—Curtis Woloschuk
83. Beverly Hills Cop
Year: 1984 Directors: Martin Brest
We might remember Beverly Hills Cop for Eddie Murphy's one-liners and that perfect microcosm of 1984, "Axel F," but at its heart, it's an action movie. In fact, Mickey Rourke and Sylvester Stallone were both attached to Murphy's role before last-minute re-writes catered the story to the SNL actor. And this was Murphy at his cocky, wise-cracking best—always in complete charge of the situation no matter how much of a fish-out-of-water his Axel Foley might have been.—Josh Jackson
82. Wet Hot American Summer
Year: 2001 Director: David Wain
A cult film that's long since surpassed that status, Wet Hot American Summer is a lot of things: It's hilarious; it's perfectly cast; and it's a clear demonstration that Christopher Meloni has more range than simply playing a dour sex crime detective. But what makes it so brilliant, 15 years later and with a Netflix series on lock, is that it's so painfully, relentlessly nihilistic. We could trade quotable lines for days (my personal favorites being what Jon Benjamin's can of vegetables admits he's acrobatically capable of, and then Paul Rudd bluntly refusing to make out with Elizabeth Banks's character due to her burger flavor), but the key to the movie's endurance—past its timelessness grounded in a specific brand of '80s sex romp flick—is the way in which it treats nostalgia. Like Wain, Michael Showalter and Michael Ian Black's Stella series, Wet Hot American Summer, which takes place over the course of Camp Firewood's last day, exists in a bleakly amoral world. Here, bad things happen to good people—and really only to good people. Wain takes innocence and obliterates it, punishes it, gleefully destroying all nice memories anyone would ever hold dear about long lost summers, first loves and youth. Without a shred of wistfulness, Wet Hot American Summer surpasses its origins in parody and becomes something more: It earns its comedy. Taunting our very explicitly American tendency to let everything we touch devolve into sentimentality, the film proves that when we obsess over remembering ourselves at our best, we might as well be celebrating us at our worst. —Dom Sinacola
81. The Big Short
Year: 2015 Director: Adam McKay Available: July 6 The Big Short, Adam McKay's kaleidoscopic look into the months leading up to the 2007 financial meltdown, is an angry film. And rightfully so—the amount of callous thievery characters uncover here is enough to make any rational person's blood boil. It's also, unquestionably, a funny film, tempering its acerbic leanings by highlighting just how blatantly surreal the whole ordeal truly was. McKay looks to counteract the inherently dry, impenetrable subject matter on display with boatloads of vibrant, cinematic style. The Big Short may not always succeed, but it stands as an essential film nonetheless.—Mark Rozeman
80. Heaven Knows What
Year: 2015 Director: Josh Safdie, Benny Safdie
Harley (Arielle Holmes) is a young woman who's as addicted to heroin as she is to her brutally apathetic boyfriend, Illya (Caleb Landry Jones). Aesthetically, the Safdies' have made a picture of urgent, abrasive beauty. Cinematographer Sean Price Williams captures Holmes and her excellent supporting cast through a combination of tight close-ups and long shots that lend the film an air of removed intimacy. Ultimately, he's almost as much the star of Heaven Knows What as Holmes, who matches up well with Jones, the film's most notable professional actor. Cinema lets us engage with difficult subject matter through a veneer of security. But something like Heaven Knows What pierces that veil. By its very nature, it pushes the boundaries of our personal comfort. It's clear we need more films like that. —Andy Crump
79. Breathe
Year: 2014 Director: Mélanie Laurent
Nothing's more effective at shaking a teen out of their monotonous high school routine than the arrival of a new student. That's the stuff actress/director Mélanie Laurent's sophomore film, Breathe, is made of: mystery and allure, with generous dollops of adolescent rivalry, sexual awakening and verbal abuse spooned on top. Think of Breatheas a distant European cousin to the fraught teen movies of Larry Clark as well as Catherine Hardwicke's Thirteen, stories of imperiled youth, loneliness and volatile sentiment. —Andy Crump
78. Phoenix
Year: 2014 Director: Christian Petzold
Rarely in recent memory has the insoluble mystery of other people been so potent a driving force as it is in Phoenix. Here's a drama that starts off with a seemingly simple conceit but eventually grows more and more troubling—and fascinating—into a critique of collective moral blindness and an up-close examination of marriage. The latest from German filmmaker Christian Petzold, Phoenix works best for all the answers it doesn't provide, honoring the mysteries of everyday life rather than explaining them away.—Tim Grierson
77. Scrooged
Year: 1988 Director: Richard DonnerWe learn all we need to know from Bill Murray's modern day Ebeneezer in his introduction: After viewing the latest promos for his television network, Frank opens his desk drawer, catches his reflection in a small mirror, smiles, fixes his hair and then closes it. In case it's not clear: Frank Cross has a drawer in his desk devoted to a vanity mirror. While the rest of the film sometimes devolves into over-the-top nonsense, it's Murray's committed touches like these that make Frank Cross so memorable.—Greg Smith
76. I Am Love
Year: 2010 Director: Luca Guadagnino
The Recchi family, the powerful Italian clan at the core of Luca Guadagnino's I Am Love, is exclusive. Its wealth is nearly immeasurable, if not incomprehensible, and even marrying into it doesn't warrant an invitation to its inner circle. Although Emma (Tilda Swinton) gave up her life in Russia—with the exception of her Russian accent, which she just can't keep from tainting her Italian—in order to become a Recchi, she orbits the rest of the family in the Recchi villa, where the sense of propriety is nearly as tangible and cloying as its thick tapestries. I Am Love is a beautiful film, and a lesson in storytelling. It unfolds at a leisurely but lovely pace, taking time to revel in the details of the setting but never shifting focus from its many rich, complex characters. Swinton becomes Emma, her every pore and follicle embodying passion, guilt and grief with equal conviction. Even in its most tense moments, I Am Love is like the many dishes Antonio shows off in the film—painstakingly created and never overdone.—Ani Vrabel
