Horror starring Keanu Reeves as John Constantine, a man who was
born with a gift he didn't want - the ability to clearly recognise
the half-breed angels and demons that walk the earth in human skin.
Constantine was driven to take his own life to escape the
tormenting clarity of his vision, but he failed. Resuscitated
against his will, he found himself cast back into the land of the
living. Now, marked as an attempted suicide with a temporary lease
on life, he patrols the earthly border between heaven and hell,
hoping in vain to earn his way to salvation by sending the devil's
foot soldiers back to the depths. But Constantine is no saint.
Disillusioned by the world around him and at odds with the one
beyond, he's a hard-drinking, hard-living bitter hero who scorns
the very idea of heroism. When a desperate but skeptical police
detective (Rachel Weisz) enlists his help in solving the mysterious
death of her beloved twin sister (also played by Weisz), their
investigation takes them through the world of demons and angels
that exists just beneath the landscape of contemporary Los Angeles.
Caught in a catastrophic series of otherworldly events, the two
become inextricably involved and seek to find their own peace at
whatever cost.
Jennifer Lawrence reprises her role as Katniss Everdeen in the
third instalment of the sci-fi film series based on the novels by
Suzanne Collins. In the aftermath of the 75th Hunger Games, Katniss
finds herself in the underground District 13, struggling to adjust
to her new life and role as the 'Mockingjay' in the rebellion
against the Capitol and tyrannical ruler President Snow (Donald
Sutherland). Meanwhile, her friend and fellow Games victor Peeta
Mellark (Josh Hutcherson) is in the hands of the Capitol, where he
is tortured and brainwashed. Katniss soon realises that to save the
ones she loves she will have to join the revolt, led by President
Coin (Julianne Moore), and become a symbol of hope for the rebels.
With help from her friends and allies, including Gale Hawthorne
(Liam Hemsworth), Haymitch Abernathy (Woody Harrelson), Effie
Trinket (Elizabeth Banks) and Plutarch Heavensbee (Philip Seymour
Hoffman), Katniss sets out to bring down the Capitol and President
Snow once and for all.
Jennifer Lawrence reprises her role as Katniss Everdeen in the

novel by Suzanne Collins. Fresh from her triumph in the 74th Annual
Hunger Games, Katniss, along with fellow winner Peeta Mellark (Josh

But soon after, while on a 'Victory Tour' of the other districts,
she becomes aware of growing dissent to the Capitol's rule, and
realises that rebellion is in the air. As Panem prepares itself for
the third 'Quarter Quell' (75th Hunger Games), autocratic ruler
President Coriolanus Snow (Donald Sutherland), still smarting from
the Capitol's humiliation in the last games, stacks the deck to
ensure that the upcoming tournament will wipe out any resistance
from the districts once and for all.

Big budget thriller based on the novel by Richard Matheson. Robert
Neville (Will Smith) is a brilliant scientist but even he could not
contain the terrible virus that was unstoppable, incurable, and
man-made. Somehow immune, Neville is now the last human survivor in
what is left of New York City and maybe the world. For three years
Neville has faithfully sent out daily radio messages, desperate to
find any other survivors who might be out there. But he is not
alone. Mutant victims of the plague - The Infected - lurk in the
shadows, watching Neville's every move and waiting for him to make
a fatal mistake. Perhaps mankind's last, best hope, Neville is
driven by only one remaining mission: to find a way to reverse the
effects of the virus using his own immune blood. But he knows he is
outnumbered, and quickly running out of time.

A theory of political ambition is developed in which political
actors seek to increase their territorial jurisdiction and/or the
size of their electoral constituency. Ease of entry and advancement
into state and national politics, however, are shown to vary
markedly across the nation. Strategic considerations play an
important role in career decisions. Legislators take into account
whether or not they will face an incumbent, the quality of likely
opponents in primaries, the cost of campaigns, the relative value
of their present office versus a higher office, and looming term
limits. For example, as a result of term limits on state
legislators, patient, highly selective, and successful moves up the
political ladder have been replaced by early exits from office and
riskier challenges for higher office. Those who are too liberal or
conservative for their party and state are less likely to win
statewide races. Distance from the "winning state party position"
serve as a key to understanding which senators are reelected and
which House members enter and win Senate primaries. It also
explains why those preparing for statewide races shift their
positions gradually over many years to improve their odds of
success.
