Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy star as two mismatched cops in this comedy from 'Bridesmaids' director Paul Feig. Unaware that her colleagues hate her, prim and priggish FBI special agent Sarah Ashburn (Bullock) is seconded to Boston where she's forced to team up with foul-mouthed, take-no-prisoners detective Shannon Mullins (McCarthy). When the pair are ordered to take down a local drug baron, the two cops' wildly contrasting styles - and mutual hatred - soon threaten to derail their mission. But as the weeks pass, a grudging admiration for each others' methods brings about a thawing in hostilities, as the ill-starred crimefighters turn out to be a force to be reckoned with.
Romantic comedy starring Jennifer Lopez. After years of directionless dating, Zoe (Jennifer Lopez) has finally decided that the wait for the perfect man has been too long. Determined to become a mother before it is too late, she decides to go it alone and signs up to conceive a baby through artificial insemination. But when she meets Stan (Alex O'Loughlin) on the same day as successfully conceiving twins, a comedy of errors ensues as Zoe tries to keep her new relationship alive while struggling with the early stages of pregnancy.
Paul Feig directs this comedy sequel starring Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones. 30 years after their male predecessors saved the world from the ghosts and ghouls that haunted it, the new Ghostbusters Abby (McCarthy), Erin (Wiig), Jillian (McKinnon) and Patty (Jones) get news of spirits lurking beneath the streets of New York City. With the help of their secretary Kevin (Chris Hemsworth), the ladies don the famous boiler suits and set out on a mission to destroy the ghosts and save the world.
Bill Murray and Melissa McCarthy star in this comedy drama written and directed by Theodore Melfi. Murray plays Vincent, a misanthropic and curmudgeonly old man who becomes responsible for his neighbour Maggie (McCarthy)'s son Oliver (Jaeden Lieberher). Maggie, who has enough on her mind with starting her new job at the hospital while going through divorce proceedings from Oliver's father, employs Vincent to take care of Oliver after school. Unbeknown to Maggie, Vincent is a heavy drinker and smoker and likes to hang around bars and racetracks in his spare time. But is there more to Vincent than meets the eye?

The all-star cast also includes Peter Serafinowicz, Miranda Hart, Jason Statham and Rose Byrne.
Double-bill of comedies starring Melissa McCarthy. 'The Boss' (2016) follows Michelle Darnell (McCarthy), a wealthy and ruthless business tycoon who is imprisoned for insider trading. When she emerges from the clink, Michelle finds her business and reputation in ruins. Abandoned by most of her friends, save her assistant Claire (Kristen Bell), Michelle sets out to rebuild her empire by bringing her entrepreneurial cut-throat approach to girl scouts and their cookies. In 'Identity Thief' (2013), after learning that his credit cards are being used to fund the lavish lifestyle of shopaholic Miami resident Diana (McCarthy), mild-mannered Denver accountant Sandy Patterson (Jason Bateman) sets out to clear his credit rating by bringing her back to face the music.

This book is a collection of essays and responses from diverse contributors united in original examination of the intersection between incarceration and human rights. What do human rights concerns dictate about the practices that we tolerate in places of incarceration? And conversely, what can prisons, their hard facts and the ideas underpinning them, tell us about human rights? The book offers a diversity of voices: from the inside view of Her Majesty's Inspector of Prisons to the words of a poet and former political prisoner; from an international policy overview of abuses of the mentally ill to a socio-economic reading of race and class in prisons. This range of approaches offers a uniquely rounded view of the topic, while each contributor's eminence in their field gives great depth of expertise.
