In a medium founded on expanding one's imagination and perception of reality, no genre does it better than science fiction. We've come a long way from the days when Georges Méliès took us to the moon, for today's filmmakers look far beyond our universe and into the deepest corners of our soul to reflect the current society.
With the latest entry in the Star Trek franchise arriving in theaters this week, we've set out to reflect on the millennium's sci-fi films that have most excelled. To note: we only stuck with feature-length works of 60 minutes or longer and, to make room for a few more titles, our definition of "the 21st century" stretched to include 2000.
Check out our top 50 below and let us know your favorites in the comments. We've also put the list on Letterboxd to keep track of how many you've seen. »

On May 9th, 1986, John Badham's Short Circuit debuted in theaters nationwide. The family adventure film with a sci-fi twist starred Steve Guttenberg, Ally Sheedy, and Fisher Stevens as a group of humans trying to protect a sentient robot by the name of Number 5—as he's known to the government agencies chasing him—who goes rogue after electrocution causes him to develop a sense of identity and the constant need for "more input."
Short Circuit was a smash success upon its release, opening number one at the box office and eventually taking in over $40 million during its theatrical run in the spring and early summer of 1986. And while Short Circuit did as well as it did partly because of the actors involved, there's no denying that it was the film's robotic co-star that pretty much stole the film and became a huge part of mid-'80s pop culture as well. »

Duncan Jones is having a very strange year. There can't be any easy way to lose your father, but when your father is an icon known the world over and his death is a cultural moment that creates worldwide shock waves, I can only imagine the way it magnifies your pain. Add to that a global press tour in which you have to sell the movie that you've just spent three years making, during which you're going to be asked thousands of wildly insensitive if well-meaning questions about your father, and I can't imagine the strength it took Duncan to make it through without collapsing. I've known him casually for several years now, but I made sure that when I sat down with him to discuss Warcraft, his new film based on the massively-popular Blizzard game, I kept the conversation firmly on the film and nothing else. "Do your kids play World of Warcraft?" Duncan asked as I settled into my chair. Universal transformed one full soundstage into a sort of catch-all set from the film, full of props and costuming. It's always impressive to see just how much of this stuff they have to create for a movie. I am unfamiliar with the property, though, so I was interested in the conversation, not the set dressing. "No. I think it's a little advanced for them still. My oldest is 10, and he's starting to ask about games like this, like strategy games. He still prefers pure action. The little one's got the mind for it, though." He laughed, and I finished setting up my recorder. "Okay. First of all, having just seen it last night, I'm still not sure what I saw. There's so much work that Ilm does that is really next level for them and for digital performance in general. Walk me through an average day on Warcraft for you." He considered the question for a moment. "Well, you know, we made a decision early on that with the anatomy of our Orc characters, we felt like the best way to pull that off was to do it with motion capture. One of our concept artists is this amazing guy called Wei Wang who was actually a fan of Warcraft. He had done such amazing artwork and he submitted it to Blizzard, and they hired him to come onboard for them. He was the one who realized the sort of true dimensions of an Orc and how to realize them in a sort of live action environment. They're almost like a Humunculous. They have a head the same size as a human being, but then their shoulders get bigger, their arms get bigger than that, and they have massive hands. We were never really going to be able to pull that off with prosthetics or costumes or anything like that, so we went the motion capture route. Knowing that we were going to do that, we wanted to surround them with as much live-action real stuff as possible. So Gavin Bouquet, our production designer, basically made just a vast number of huge beautiful live action sets where we would shoot all of our content with our Orcs and our humans. So when you say it looks spectacular, a lot of it comes down to Ilm, and also a lot of credit goes to the very practical, physical stuff that was made by Gavin Bouquet and his team, Mayes Rubeo who did the costuming and the wardrobe, and Weta, who gave us our weapons and built our armor." I've had a growing problem with video game movies, and it boils down to the difference in the way we digest the two things: movies are, for all the involvement you feel with them, passive experiences. You watch them. You may feel personally invested, but you cannot control the outcome of the film. With video games, you are constantly in control, and depending on the scope of the game, you may have the ability to have a completely unique experience than anyone else who ever plays that same game. Those two things do not seem easily reconciled to me, and I asked how important it was to make the Orcs feel like they fit into the same world as the humans as a way of pulling the audience in and making them invest as deeply as you would hope people invest in a game. "My thinking was that it's going to be easier to get the audience to care and get engaged with the human characters. I want them to care about these Orc characters up front and not see it as a gimmick but really understand and root for these guys as much as they do for the humans." I mentioned the film's opening shot, a close-up of Durotan (Toby Kebbell's Orc character), and the insane amount of detail that went into making it look alive. Duncan said, "Hanging on that shot as long as we did was really a start of that job of getting the audience to empathize with a father, a husband, his baby that's on the way, and his people who are really in this critical situation where they need to find a new home." I asked him if it was important to hire a lead actor who had some experience with this sort of motion-capture performance work. Toby Kebbell did such a great job playing Koba in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes that I'm not surprised to see him getting more of this kind of work. Andy Serkis seems positively evangelical about getting other people involved in this type of performance work, and Terry Notary has made a new career for himself training other people to do this work. "It was really important that if we were going to be hiring actors who had never done it before, we really had some sort of a trunk to help support the tree. Toby and Terry [Notary, who plays Peon, one of the Orcs] were really the guys who had the experience and were able to encourage the others. Toby in particular has this amazing acting ability beyond the motion capture. I don't know if you ever saw the Black Mirror episode that he did. He's a fantastic actor." I agreed. "He seems to be good at figuring out places for the subtle stuff that punctuates performance, the things that read through what he does." "That's kind of a newer thing," Duncan pointed out, "because the development of the facial capture in particular is a next step in the technology. Things have progressed thanks to what Jeff White [visual effects supervisor] at Ilm had developed for our movie. They've gotten so much better at getting the new assets and allowing Toby to just be as subtle as he wanted to and have the confidence that all of that would be picked up without animators having to physically manhandle his model to do it." Yes, this conversation's going to get nerdy, but how do you avoid that in talking about the technical breakthroughs made to bring a film about Orc armies to life? I've been in love with this stuff my whole life, and I still remember the first magazines I bought to read about how they made Star Wars in 1977. I am constantly thrilled to see how these amazing artists push the tech forward, and how the tech serves to help them make their art. It's a great back and forth, and I love watching it and reporting on it. "You also had Hal Hickel on as your animation supervisor," I said. "I love him because he's also a director, and it seems like he approaches this work as a filmmaker." "I absolutely love Hal," Duncan said, lighting up at the mention of each of these collaborators. "I love Jeff and Hal and Jason [Smith, visual effects supervisor] and all of that team. We had a lot of fun working out how… you know going in that there were moments in the film where the physical movements that you want from an actor are never really gonna do justice to what an Orc is capable of. Or what an Orc on Orc mano a mano fight might be like, so Hal absolutely added a whole level of hyperreality to those movements. He's amazing because he was also able to deliver on the subtleties as well, where maybe something wasn't quite what we needed it to be, but we knew what we wanted, and he managed to get us there." One of the film's boldest choices is how it starts on a close-up of Durotan, and then we spend 10 minutes with only CGI characters, finally introducing some of the live-action cast after that, and even then, never really offering the audience a movie star or something overly familiar to latch onto. It's a pretty ballsy way to kick things off. "That's a scary choice for a studio," I said. "Was Blizzard considered the movie star here? Was that the star above the title that allowed you to cast the people that you wanted, regardless of their box-office power?" He nodded as he replied. "It certainly gave us confidence and maybe a little bit of a safety net that allowed us to go after the people we thought were the right actors for the parts. I was a fan of Travis Fimmel from Vikings. I was definitely a fan of Paula Patton, and I felt like if we were gonna do the character of Garona in live-action, there was a very, very short list of people who I felt comfortable could make it work. I'd seen Paula Patton in Mission Impossible, and I thought that quality in that role, that's the right person for this role." I laughed, because I feel exactly the same way about Patton. "When she kicks her shoes off to go chase the other spy, you know right away that other spy is going to get her ass beat." Duncan started laughing as well. "That's what makes her great in something like this, that confident physicality. That's a big choice because her character is the only Orc created as a live-action character." "Beyond that," he continued, "I would say in Mission: Impossible, she did a certain thing ... In this role, what she was being asked to do on an acting level was much wider. I think she really delivered, and I truly believe this is the best Paula Patton has ever been in a movie." I love that a director is that big a cheerleader for one of his actors. "You gave her those teeth. Those things are an obstacle. Right away, they change her face and her jaw dramatically." "We did. Although we didn't paint her green, which is one of the things you might be surprised by." "Wait… really? Did you rotoscope her?" "We had to roto her for every shot in the movie, and we just color shifted her entirely. The reason we did that is because we had seen what Guardians of the Galaxy had done with their green lady character, and we felt like it looked like someone had just been painted green. Our feeling was, you know, skin doesn't look like that. Skin has different colors all over it. The way to do that is to keep the skin as it is and shift it." "So, just piecing all of this together and making sure that you had everything that you needed as a filmmaker, was there ever a moment where it just felt like this crazy math problem that you're constantly writing?" He laughed again. "Yeah, 5D chess. Absolutely. Between the technical challenges and the scale of it and working with such a large cast who were all separated into separate camps between the Orcs and the humans, it was a constant game of 5D chess, all trying to make sure that no matter what technical challenges will be thrown at me or what improvisations I worked on with the actors, we always remained focused on 'Okay, what is the story we're trying to tell? Who are the heroes? Who are the leads? How are we trying to drive the story forward ad bring these characters all together at the right moments?'" One of the film's big choices is to tell a story that is definitely not over as the closing credits roll, an introduction to the characters and the stakes as things move into place. "In the last few minutes of the film, you snap everybody into a very different role than they've had before," I pointed out. "So the next time out its gonna be radically different, they're gonna have radically different relationships, and you've definitely left us with a lot of questions at the end of this one. Was there ever a push to make it more closed?" "No," said Duncan, "there was never a push to do that. I think the challenge was to make sure that even though we leave that opportunity to move on to a fuller trilogy of a story, that this felt like there was a story that had been told in this film. That's a challenge for any film. Normally, the biggest challenge is for the middle films. What we tried to do was set up how the Orcs find themselves in a place. They can't stay in their world anymore, so they've invaded this world. Durotan has led his people to a new world and is trying to find a home for his Orcs. At the end of this movie, they don't have their home yet, but we know that they're looking for it. And I think if we ever get the chance to make more of them, I would hope by the end of the trilogy, the Orcs would have their new home." "So you seem to have cast Ben Foster with every intention of asking him to go full Ben Foster in the role…" "That's why you cast Ben Foster," he said, laughing again. "If you cast the right actors for the right roles and they're into it and they're willing to go for it, you get magic." Seeing my reaction to the pun, Duncan burst into long, loud laughter. "Wow, I didn't even attempt that." It was impossible not to collapse into laughter as well, seeing how entertained he was. "Thank you for coming with me on that pun." I mentioned how Foster reminds me of the work that Mark Hamill did in the Star Wars films. He always seemed to believe in the world and the details of the world with such ferocity that it made it real for me as a viewer. He felt comfortable, like he really lived in the world and didn't just pick up these props for the first time in his life. "That's the real trick in these films," I said. "It's beyond a trick," Duncan replied. "Ben Foster was challenging me constantly when we were in pre-production to explain to him how magic worked. What is the vocabulary that he's speaking? What do these words mean? What are the movements that he should be doing in order to cast spells? He was grilling me, and we basically worked out how to cast the spells that he casts throughout the movie and how they relate to each other. When Ben Foster was casting magic and Ben Schnetzer was watching him in this kind of apprentice relationship, Ben Foster knew his stuff. He could actually teach Ben Schnetzer how to do things, and it wasn't just, 'I'm gonna wave my arms and special effects will put something there.'" "This speaks to the faithfulness to the game that you've maintained," I said, "and I'll be honest… that's not something I can speak to. I come to this fresh. I talked to one gamer afterwards who was really surprised by how much it felt like Warcraft. She felt like, 'Yep, that's the world. It's not the exact moment I play, but it's the world, and it's right.' How did you strike the balance? Because I love that you don't have any sort of opening crawl. You don't bury us under exposition in the beginning. It's only seeded as we go and you sort of feed it to us little bits at a time." "If you're a little bit lost for the first 10 or 15 minutes, I'm okay with that. As long as by the end of the movie, you feel like you understood what's just happened." "Do you have a favorite creature or creation for the film, something that when you saw it fully-executed felt like you nailed it?" "Durotan and his wife Draka. In particular, Draka, and it's more than just the creature onscreen. We found this amazing performer and actress by the name of Anna Galvin who plays Draka. She's an Australian, she lives up in Vancouver, and she had really not done that much. She had done one or two bits in motion-capture for a computer game before, but she hadn't really done it for a full project. She was all-in to play this character Draka. A lot of us who saw her performance were like, 'Wow, you went for it in a way where we all feel like we need to raise our game.' She was phenomenal. And that led to a final character that was even wilder because of her." I mentioned that there's a moment near the end where Anduin's big griffin goes to town on some Orcs that just made me belly-laugh. "Yeah," he agreed, laughing as well, "there's some good stuff in there." I told him about my own experience as a motion-capture performer when we made a pilot for Comedy Central for a possible Ain't It Cool News TV show. I was supposed to play Moriarty each week as an animated character to look just like the Cartuna drawings that were part of the site's identity, and I'd interact in real time with Harry, who was shot on a live-action stage next-door to where my performance was being captured. It was a crazy complicated way of trying to share movie news and rumors, but fun to try to pull off. The guys who were in charge of the performance capture were the same team who had just finished the Agent Smith fight in The Matrix Reloaded, and they had a ton of stories about how they were pushing things forward, about what the cutting edge really was at that particular moment. Part of the thing that drove them crazy on our show was trying to map the seven-foot spindly thin body of Moriarty onto the six-foot pear-shaped fanboy physique of me. I asked Duncan how they approached trying to map a human physiology to that of a giant oddly-proportioned Orc and how far things have evolved in the 14 years between my pilot and this film. "The only thing that we added was at the actors' request if they wanted to wear tusks. It just gave them a slightly different way of talking when they're performing. Some of the actors wanted to do it, some of them chose not to, but that was really it. What we did have on set that was very useful was live playback of a very simplified version of the asset. That becomes really important for framing. Orcs range from seven and a half to nine feet tall and they are three to four feet wide. They're just incredibly wide and obviously that affects how you frame things. In order for us to be able to frame a shot, we needed to be able to get a sense of just how much space they'd occupy. I mean, Rob Kazinsky is a pretty big guy, but he ain't that big. We needed to know how much space he would be taking." I told him that I'm fond of Kazinsky because, like Vin Diesel, he's a total giddy nerd on the inside who just happens to look like a comic book superhero on the outside. I know Kazinsky's a gamer, and I asked Duncan if there was a learning curve where Rob was able to slip into the skin of the Orc more and more as he worked with it and got to live out his fanboy fantasies. "Well, like you said, he was in there right from the start. He walked in knowing who Orgrim was, what the lore was, where that character was going to end up. I think he wanted to do justice to a character that he really knew well in the same way any Marvel fan, if they had the chance to be in a Marvel film, would. He was right there from the start, but I think the confidence of doing the motion-capture work came about thanks to working with Terry in what we called Orc camp with Toby, where they just spent time coming up with and learning a vocabulary of movement for the Orcs. How to move like an Orc, how not to turn your head like this but actually turn from the shoulders to make sense of these giant neck muscles that they have. There's all sorts of things that you don't naturally think of until you realize that the anatomy of your character is way different from your own and you're gonna have to move to make that work." "Does making a film this big change the way you approach the next film you make? Is there anything you take with you from this into Mute?" "I've wanted to make Mute for such a long time, and I'm fortunate because it looks like now I'm gonna have the opportunity to do it with Paul Rudd and Alexander Skarsgard and a number of other people who haven't been announced yet. It's gonna be a palate cleanser. It's on a much much lower budget, and it's back to science fiction, but a very different kind of science fiction. It's gonna be great to take that break from this kind of filmmaking to go back to that one, and hopefully if this goes down well, I'll get the chance to come back and do another one of these. I hope you enjoyed it." How about it? Now that Warcraft is open around the world, I'm curious to see how you guys are reacting to it. Even after writing and posting my review, I certainly haven't stopped thinking about it, and the boys have been asking, so I'll most likely end up taking them to see it. Are you guys open to another one? Did you find yourself drawn into this world or distanced from it? And if you're a super-fan of the games, do you think this is something that was intended for you instead of a broader audience? Warcraft is in theaters now. »

Chicago – Mention the name Harry Lennix, and images of his many character roles are bound to emerge – Harold Cooper in the TV series "The Blacklist," General Swanwick from "Batman v Superman" and Commissioner Blades from Spike Lee's recent "Chi-Raq." The deeply knowledgeable Lennix brings his years of dramatic expertise, as he directs the Congo Square Theatre Company's world premiere stage play "A Small Oak Tree Runs Red.'
The play is an allegory set in purgatory, the weigh station between heaven and hell. Three African-America characters – two men, and a woman – are in this space, trying to remember what brought them there. They all three have nooses around the necks, the victims of the 1918 Georgia Lynch Riots. With ramifications all the way to the present day, "A Small Oak Tree Runs Red" is a stark reminder of the hatred that has burned in the soul of America since its inception. »

The way things work nowadays, remakes and reboots tend to clog the multiplexes. When Hollywood tries something original, like The Nice Guys for example, audiences basically overlook it in favor of the familiar . from another X-Men movie to the latest Marvel blockbuster. So you can understand why legendary producer Joel Silver was asked if one of his most successful film series, The Matrix trilogy, could ever extend, or even be remade. His answer gives me hope that the Wachowski.s vision will be left untouched. As you likely recall, 1999.s The Matrix was such an inventive, genre-bending piece of science-fiction, the Wachowski Sisters immediately were tasked with creating a sequel. They took it one step further and crafted a trilogy, delivering The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions. The sequels didn.t quite live up to the original film, but it doesn.t sound like anyone is going to get »

The (then) Wachowski Brothers genre bending thriller plays more levels of 3-D chess than perhaps Spock himself could have handled. The directors tapped into some mind-meld with moviegoers as well; The Matrix was a smash hit making way for two sequels, The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions. Stylistically innovative and much copied, the film starred Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne and Carrie-Anne Moss as the slow-motion somersaulters of the matrix.

The problems with sequels is expectation. When you have a project that is received so well by an audience, a follow up is not always able to reach the levels of expectation people want from that product. For every "The Empire Strikes Back" and "The Godfather II" there's "The Matrix Reloaded", a sequel that advanced the story but did not reach the level of expectation people had for it.
The biggest Marvel event of the past decade was Civil War. Marvel, doing what they do best, assembled every character in their arsenal and gave us a story that touched upon some real life issues in a way that wasn't preachy and didn't pound you over the head with it's obviousness. To create a sequel to a story that is so well received would be a tough job for any team.

Earlier this month, it was announced that 20th Century Fox's Deadpool will debut on Blu-ray and DVD May 10, although it won't be available on laserdisc or VHS formats just yet. One format that hasn't been mentioned is a Digital HD release, which many studios use to release their movies a few weeks earlier than the traditional route. As it turns out, Deadpool will be no different, with star Ryan Reynolds announcing on his Twitter page that the Digital HD version of Deadpool is coming earlier than expected, and will be here next week, on Tuesday, April 26.
It isn't known which special features will be included on the Digital HD release. But we learned earlier this week what will be included on the Blu-ray release. The Deadpool extras include Deleted/Extended scenes with optional commentary from director Tim Miller, a Gag Reel, and the featurette From Comics to Screen...to Screen, »

Foul-mouthed mutant to return in sequel to record-breaking first film, which could usher in a new wave of comic-book movies aimed at adults
A sequel to the zeitgeist-shifting superhero movie Deadpool is to move into production, with star Ryan Reynolds and director Tim Miller both set to return, studio 20th Century Fox has confirmed.
Screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick are also returning for the follow-up to the highest-grossing "R" rated movie of all time. Deadpool overtook the Wachowskis' 2003 sci-fi sequel The Matrix Reloaded last month to break the record, and has now posted receipts of $757.3m (£672m) worldwide.

The very concept of comic book movie success was smashed to smithereens when Deadpool came along. An R-rated, low-budget superhero caper that broke the fourth wall and generally pratted about, it wasn't destined for box office greatness. And then something unexpected happened: it made boatloads of money.
A win with critics and fans is a hard thing to come by nowadays (hello, Batman V Superman!), and yet Tim Miller's movie proved that it's possible. The $58 million movie has made upwards of $750 million worldwide, surpassing the R-rated likes of The Matrix Reloaded and making a bigger profit than Dawn of Justice.
And so, in some rather unsurprising news, Ryan Reynolds will return to play the Merc With A Mouth. Well, we already knew that, but now we're getting word that the actor has finished negotiating his contract for Deadpool 2. He "only" made $2 million on the first flick, »

Fans of the sarcastic superhero Deadpool have reason to celebrate as Ryan Reynolds is apparently back on board to play the title character. Heroic Hollywood is reporting that Reynolds, who led Deadpool to a global box office of more than $750 million, will reprise the Marvel character for the already greenlit sequel. Considering the first film's massive haul, this news really isn't a surprise. It was simply just a matter of what kind of raise Reynolds would see since he only received a reported $2 million upfront salary the first time around. Since its February 2016 release, Deadpool has smashed box office records and is already the highest grossing R-rated movie ever, surpassing The Matrix Reloaded. Unlike other recent superhero movies (cough…BvS…cough), it also was critically lauded, with a rating on Rotten Tomatoes of 83 percent. There is no release date yet for Deadpool 2. »

There has never been any question that Ryan Reynolds will return for Deadpool 2. What has been up for debate is just how much money the star is going to ask for this time around, seeing as how the first Deadpool was an unexpected blockbuster and a box office phenomenon. While no numbers are being unveiled yet, it was reported earlier today by HeroicHollywood that the actor has successfully closed his deal with a fat raise in place, and that shooting will begin as early as Fall 2016.
Still playing in theaters with a May 10 Blu-ray and DVD release date already announced, Deadpool wowed just about everybody by pulling in an unexpected $754.5 million at the worldwide box office. The movie has even passed The Matrix Reloaded to become the highest grossing R-rated movie of all time. The movie had a considerably small budget, especially for a big Marvel superhero movie. It »

Just as the summer moviegoing season kicks into full gear with Captain America: Civil War in theaters May 6, a decidedly different kind of Marvel hero will be joining in on the fun. Yes, the Merc with the Mouth is finally coming home! Ryan Reynolds announced the news on Twitter this morning. Deadpool will finally be available on Blu-ray and DVD starting May 10th. You can already pre-order your very own copy to snuggle with right here. This is what Ryan Reynolds had to say, warning that some nostalgia enthusiasts who've been around since Wade Wilson's inception might be disappointed while throwing in a classic sexual innuendo.
"I'm coming... on Blu-ray May 10. Also, non-existent special edition VHS and LaserDisc, 19 years ago."
This past weekend, Deadpool finally reached a big milestone. It is now officially the highest grossing R-Rated movie of all time. This comes after the Marvel and 20th Century »

It's been rumored that Deadpool will be released on home media sometime this spring, but this morning star Ryan Reynolds officially announced on Twitter that the film will be available on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, Blu-ray and DVD on May 10th. Earlier this week the well-received comic book movie surpassed The Matrix Reloaded to become the highest grossing R-rated flick worldwide, and its total box office haul... Read More »

F--k yeah. The world loves"Deadpool," pushing it to No. 1 on the list of highest-grossing R-rated movies of all time. According to Entertainment Weekly, the Ryan Reynolds film has taken in more than $745 million worldwide, which means it has dethroned "The Matrix Reloaded" ($742.1 million) for the title.
Interestingly enough, "Deadpool" is the top overall, but still not No. 1 for R-rated movies in North America. So far, EW reported, "Deadpool" has a total of $349.4 million, and they expect it will take the place of "American Sniper" ($350.1 million) at No. 2. However, it doesn't look like The Merc with a Mouth will be defeating "The Passion of the Christ," which is in the top domestic position with $370.8 million.
But taking No. 1 overall, as the top money-making R-rated movie around the world, is further confirmation that a non PG or PG-13 superhero film can find a market. A big one. Plus, unlike poor "Batman v Superman, »

Neo is no match for the "Merc With a Mouth."
"Deadpool" has supplanted "The Matrix Reloaded" to become the highest-grossing R-rated film in history with more than $745 million globally. The "Matrix" sequel racked up its $742.1 million worldwide when it hit theaters in 2003.
Domestically, "Deadpool" is poised to overtake "American Sniper's" $350.1 million stateside gross to become the second-biggest R-rated movie. "Deadpool" has earned $349.4 million in North America, but may not be able to catch up to "Passion of the Christ's" $370.8 million to become the highest-grossing R-rated film on a domestic basis.
It's a big win for Fox, the studio behind the raunchy action pic. Most studios shy away from greenlighting R-rated comic book films because they worry that teenagers won't be able to buy tickets. With its liberal use of four-letter words and extreme violence, "Deadpo0l" is certainly not for the squeamish or prudish. Fox tried »

Product Description
'The Economics of Modern Business Enterprise, edited by Martin Ricketts, focuses upon the historical development of the transaction cost view of the firm - with "transaction cost" interpreted rather broadly. Its three volumes comprise the most influential papers in the field, introduced by the editor with an extremely well written introduction. The three volumes address graduate students of business economics. They are so well selected, ordered and introduced that they may as well serve as a handbook on "the new institutional economics of the firm."'- Rudolf Richter, University of Saarland, Germany and The Hoover Institution, Stanford University, US'Martin Ricketts' collection of leading articles on "The Economics of Modern Business Enterprise" is organized in three volumes: "Transaction Costs, Property Rights and the Entrepreneur," "Ownership and Scope," and "Incentives and Control." No student of business and economic organization can fail to be impressed by Ricketts' knowledge of this literature. Equally important is the manner in which this collection is organized: Ricketts tracks the historical development of key ideas in this area from early contributions in the 1970s to the present and uses "transaction costs," broadly construed, as the organizing theme. This vast literature is given added meaning and perspective in the process, to the benefit of both new and active participants. This collection not only, therefore, records the significant accomplishments of this exciting research arena but will serve as a springboard for the continuation thereof.'- Oliver E. Williamson, University of California, Berkeley, US

Hello. When I receive new email on my Q10, the LED starts flashing and I hear the audible tone. However, the email icon and the Hub icon do not always show the red star. This problem seems to be completely random. I have been unable to determine any specific conditions that cause it to happen. I would say it happens roughly 25 to 30% of the time. I have gone back to my carrier and they were unable to determine the cause so they exchanged the phone for me. It still happens on the new one so I have to assume this is a software issue. Is anyone aware of this and is it going to be fixed in a future software update?

Good 3.8 /5 from 109 reviews
Grangefield Oasis is a pleasant resort, and very good value. Our apartment had two bedrooms, lounge and kitchen area and extra sleeping room from Sofa-beds, and all for the price of an average hotel room. It's well-placed for access to all local attractions, but don't expect to be online much, the internet is painfully slow; a real draw-back in a modern resort. But if you're ready to go offline, it's a great place to stay.
Getting a handicap accessible room and free handicap parking nearby is a big plus for me. Our room looked out on the pool and every night we were serenaded until 11:30 pm. Sunday brought a free flamenco dance -nice!
Hotel is OK. Value OK. Difficult to find (address would not pull up in GPS for Migas). Pools were closed off until 10 or 11 AM and I wanted to take a morning swim. Breakfast looked nice but was super expensive. Room was spacious enough and generally clean. Overall, I'd recommend the stay if you can get a room for a good rate.
Disappointing stay. The bed was the worst we have slept in. Very uncomfortable mattress so thin with springs poking through. We got up at 6 a.m and checked out after hardly any sleep. The place was desserted with just a few noisy Spaniards. It is very remote and you will need a car as nothing close by. The place looks like something from the 70s very old fashioned fittings and furnishings many mis matched. Photos do not reflect the property. Ok for an odd night but would not want to holiday here. The reception is dark and gloomy and not welcoming at all. Staff allowed us an early checkin but once we got into the room we were very keen to go out until bed time. Beach area is grim too.
We had three days at the Grangefield at the end of a week touring. The hotel offered what can only be described as outstanding value for money and I find it difficult to see how they can make a profit at the amount we paid. Great pool, lots of loungers, room spotless with everything you could need. Lots of facilities. I run three businesses here in the UK and I know how important customers are. While at the Grangefield I purchased a couple of coffees from the bar, two of many. While carrying them back to my partner I tripped and spilt one all over my hand,it was hot but my fault and I was ok and didn't drop anything, I was well clear of the bar at this time. Still, we sat down and split the remaining coffee and started to drink. Totally unprompted the chap who I believe was the bar manager brought us another coffee at no charge and brought me an ice pack for my hand. I have been to some really great places and this service is way better than anything I have ever experienced. He had absolutely no need to do this and no one other than my partner had even noticed me spilling anything. I don't know his name but you will see him in the bar every night. Overall an amazing price for a really nice stay and just 1st class service... oh and the chap who does the entertainment is brilliant too Portuguese chap with a beard... does a great nessen dorma

SUNNYVALE, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 12/04/12 -- AMD (NYSE: AMD) today announced availability of the AMD APP SDK 2.8 and the AMD CodeXL unified tool suite to provide developers the tools and resources needed to accelerate applications with AMD accelerated processing units (APUs) and graphics processing units (GPUs). The APP SDK 2.8 and CodeXL tool suite provides access to code samples, white papers, libraries and tools to leverage the processing power of heterogeneous compute with OpenCL, C++, DirectCompute and more.
"With CodeXL and APP SDK 2.8, our highest performing SDK to date which leaps past the competition in performance on standard benchmarks(1), AMD continues to empower developers with the resources they need for greater performance and power-efficient applications," said Manju Hegde, corporate vice president, Heterogeneous Applications and Developer Solutions, AMD. "From today's ultraportable mobile solutions to the highest performing supercomputers, our latest tools and solutions help developers more easily leverage the power of heterogeneous computing and take greater advantage of the compute capabilities of AMD's processing solutions."
AMD APP SDK 2.8 Featuring AMD's New Template Library, Codename "Bolt"
APP SDK 2.8 includes dozens of new and improved samples for OpenCL, Aparapi and C++ AMP that deliver significantly faster performance than APP SDK 2.7 -- up to 2.3x faster(2) on average in nine key benchmarks. APP SDK 2.8 also includes a preview version of AMD's new open source C++ template library, codename "Bolt." "Bolt" is aimed at making it easier to utilize the inherent performance and power efficiency of heterogeneous computing while reducing lines of code with a single code path for GPU and CPU programming. "'Bolt's' productivity-oriented development environment enables developers to get superior performance on today's heterogeneous compute platforms, and can help increase performance and reduce power consumption with the exact same code on future Heterogeneous System Architecture (HSA) compliant platforms.
For complete details on APP SDK 2.8 features, capabilities and support, along with "Bolt" architectural and how-to details, visit the AMD Developer blog or download APP SDK 2.8 from AMD Developer Central. A member of AMD's technical staff will also provide an introduction to the powerful capabilities of "Bolt" during a live webinar on Tuesday, Dec. 11. To register, visit: http://bit.ly/StQa4X.
AMD CodeXL Unified Developer Tool Suite
The CodeXL tool suite provides a foundation for software developers and ISVs to enter a new era of parallel programming by harnessing the compute power of AMD's high-performance central processing units (CPUs), GPUs and APUs across a wide array of computing platforms. CodeXL combines new features that enable developers to get the most performance out of AMD processors, including comprehensive GPU debugging, GPU and CPU profiling, static OpenCL kernel analysis and a standalone user interface on Windows® and Linux for enhanced accessibility and navigation. As a result, developers can bring to life solutions with amazingly fast run-times, long battery life and smooth playback for leading software applications.
For further information about CodeXL, visit the CodeXL homepage.

- Visit the AMD Developer blog for more details on APP SDK 2.8, "Bolt" and CodeXL;
- Follow news from the AMD team on Twitter at @AMD_Unprocessed or @AMDSoftware.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

Frankie Rose
Feb 20, 2012 Web Exclusive
Ex-Dum Dum Girls, Crystal Stilts, and Vivian Girls member Frankie Rose certainly has an impressive pedigree. On her 2010 self-titled debut album with ad hoc band The Outs, she cribbed liberally from the oeuvres of her former bands, crafting a record laden with copious reverb and Spector-esque girl group hooks. It was a decent effort, but at times came up creatively fallow, as the formula she tinkered with was a bit staid and formulaic. Here, on her sophomore effort Interstellar, she's billed with her name only, no band attached. It's appropriate, given that this foray establishes Rose as a singularly idiosyncratic musician.
Superb first single "Know Me" is an '80s inspired rave-up, with slashing jangly guitars and an ethereal keyboard melody weaving together in a manner that amalgamates Felt and New Order. "Pair of Wings" digs even more deeply into Rose's newfound rich sonic palette, as she whispers in a vulnerable coo, "Show me your scars and I'll show you mine," buttressed by eerie synths and a soft percussive patter recalling Arthur Russell's "That's Us/Wild Combination."
A cello and lachrymose, ascetic guitar frame the spare closer "The Fall," which sounds a bit out of place when contrasted with the sonic conventionality of much ofInterstellar. Rose's vocals are looped in on themselves, with "Falling away" as the only discernible lyric, sounding like the gasps of someone slipping from corporeality. It's an understatedly elegiac track, and like much of this terrific album, exhibits a surfeit of ambition on Rose's part, even if it's the lone piece of the jigsaw puzzle that doesn't quite fit
On the aforementioned "Know Me," Rose flippantly suggests that we're "Wasting our time on fiction and lies." ButInterstellaris anything but a waste of time. It's Rose's crowning achievement to date, a gorgeously impressionistic album that's a quantum artistic leap forward for this exceptionally talented songwriter.

|All aspects of probation work are geared towards protecting the public. A central part of this is the role of the public protection unit, a unit that is committed to stopping known dangerous offenders from committing further harm to victims.
The unit is funded, staffed and managed by the probation service and police. The unit also works closely with other agencies, such as housing, mental health and social services, to make sure that dangerous offenders in South Yorkshire are identified, assessed and monitored accurately. The unit's personnel receive fitness training by Discovery trained personal trainers to ensure they are of sufficient fitness levels to meet the demands of their duty.
Measures may include full police surveillance or monitoring by other agencies, such as those stated above. Central to this process is the sharing of intelligence between agencies
A key aspect of the unit's work is the establishment of multi-agency public protection panels, which involve agencies coming together to discuss and make arrangements to manage the highest risk offenders in the community.
Community Punishment and Rehabilitation Order A community punishment and rehabilitation order is a demanding community sentence. It requires an offender to complete worthwhile unpaid work so that they pay something back to their community. It also requires them to work under the supervision of the probation service to make a significant effort to stop further offending.
Aims The purpose of the order is to: Provide a rigorous and effective punishment Reduce the likelihood of re-offending Rehabilitate the offender Make reparation to the community Confront them with the effect their offending has upon their victims
Who is it suitable for? The order can be used when the offence is serious enough to warrant a community-based sentence but not so serious that only a custodial sentence will suffice. The offender will have developed a pattern of offending behaviour and/or committed offences that have caused serious harm to others, such as offences involving domestic abuse.
What does it involve? Offenders are offered a minimum of five hours work each week and attendance is rigorously enforced. Most will be working in groups on projects that provide direct benefit to the community. Beneficiaries include schools, churches, local projects and charitable organisations. The placements must occupy offenders fully and be "physically, emotionally and mentally demanding".

i am writing an SDL / OpenGL application that runs under OSX. I have to use existing code which uses the DevIL library for loading JPG and PNG textures. Unfortunately, this works very bad under OS X, so i decided not to use DevIL at all, and rewrite the respective parts of the application using another library. I want to keep it flexible (DevIL can handle a lot of image formats) and easy to use. Is there a good replacement for DevIL that you can recommend? The application is entirely written in C++.
Thanks for your advice! Patrick
