Adaptation of the award-winning comic series created by Frank
Miller. Interweaving multiple storylines from the series' history,
the film paints a picture of the ultimate town through the eyes of
its roughest characters. There's the street thug Marv (Mickey
Rourke), whose desperate quest to find the killer of a prostitute
named Goldie (Jaime King) will lead him to the foulest edges of
town. Inhabiting many of those areas is Dwight (Clive Owen), a
photographer in league with the sordid ladies of Sin City, headed
by Gail (Rosario Dawson), who opens up a mess of trouble after
tangling with a corrupt cop by the name of Jackie Boy (Benicio Del
Toro). Finally, there's Hartigan (Bruce Willis), an ex-cop with a
heart problem who's hell-bent on protecting a stripper named Nancy
(Jessica Alba).

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.

This unique book demonstrates the utility of big data approaches in
human geography and planning. Offering a carefully curated
selection of case studies, it reveals how researchers are accessing
big data, what this data looks like and how such data can offer new
and important insights and knowledge. Contributions from key
scholars working in the field bring together an international
series of case studies on demography and migration, retail and
consumer analytics, health care planning, urban planning and
transport studies. Chapters also discuss how data sets leveraged
from commercial and public agency sources can greatly improve the
data traditionally worked with in academic geography, regional
science and planning. While addressing the challenges and
limitations of big data, the book also demonstrates the usefulness
of data sets held by commercial agencies and explores data linkage
between big data and traditional public domain data sources.
Focusing on the applications of big data to investigate issues in a
spatial context, this book will be an essential guide for scholars
and students of planning, mobility and human geography,
particularly those who specialise in economic and transport
geography. Its use of key case studies to demonstrate the
applications of big data analytics in planning will also be useful
for planners in these fields.
