But his most recent venture, Netflix’s time-travel action-comedy The Adam Project, has elevated his status even more, earning him a distinction that no others have achieved (not yet, anyway). Thanks to the success of his latest film, Reynolds has become the first actor to star in 3 entries on Netflix’s top 10 most popular English language films list. Not bad for the guy from Green Lantern. RELATED: 5 Time-Traveling Sci-Fi Movies To Watch If You Loved The Adam Project...

However, spending extra time working does not always equate to better productivity. This article explores why this constant connectivity is detrimental to your productivity and provides suggestions on disconnecting and recharging. What Is the Always-On Culture of Work, and How Does It Hurt Your Productivity? The term “always-on” culture refers to the expectation that employees are always available and responsive to work demands, even outside traditional 9-5 work hours....

Ouch. Never has a postwar German leader experienced such a sharp reversal of political fortunes–or met such a wave of public and editorial invective. Just two months ago, Schroder and his Social Democrats celebrated their narrow re-election. Today, half the people who voted for him wish they hadn’t. Were the election held again, the opposition Christian Democrats would get 50 percent of the vote, the Social Democrats 28. Germans see plenty of reasons to be angry....

On ‘Extinction Trade’: “Thanks for stating that people who consume tiger bones and rhinoceros horns do so for ‘supposed medicinal purposes.’ Only when the users are discouraged and discredited will the demand for illegal wildlife trade go down.” Gary Kern, Las Cruces, N.M. The Towering Figure of the Right I was thrilled to receive the March 10 issue with William F. Buckley Jr. on the cover (“Mr. Right, R.I.P.”). Richard Avedon’s portrait perfectly captures Buckley: the rumpled suit, club tie slightly askew and the always-present clipboard and pen that seemed to be extensions of his very body....

Last week the YPA was indeed calling its own shots-thanks to its aggressive, 58 year-old chief of staff, Gen. Blagoje Adzic. An ethnic Serb born in Bosnia, he called Slovenes “backstabbers,” and threatened to unleash his Army to “establish control and carry things to the end.” Adzic is no stranger to national fratricide. As a youth during World War II, he witnessed the annihilation of his entire family by Nazi-collaborating Croats, who killed hundreds of thousands of ethnic Serbs....

The BCCI have been vehement in their stand against the system, which they consider flawed. The first two Tests of the on-going Ashes series too proved that the system is not fool-proof as some very glaring mistakes were made by the third umpire, some of which proved to be key moments in the series. To remedy this, for the third Test to be played at Old Trafford, the ICC have decided to try out a new system which will be via an independent feed, although the third umpire will not be able to avail it in this match....

Gable’s story plays out in a new documentary titled “Freestyle.” Though it won’t air until Nov. 14 (on HBO Signature Channel), 4,000 Gable cultists have already ordered copies from Direct Cinema of Santa Monica, Calif. The film explores the run-through-walls obsessiveness of a 150-pound wrestler who, at Iowa State University, practiced against a world-class, 450-pound teammate. He was relentlessly single-minded. All that’s absent here is Coach Gable’s fabled murmur to a national champ who’d just thrashed an opponent 10-1: “The guy didn’t look that tired....

The story centers on a troupe of animal thieves living amongst humans. Wolf (Sam Rockwell), Snake (Marc Maron), Shark (Craig Robinson), Spider (Awkwafina), and Piranha (Anthony Ramos) regularly commit crimes in Los Angeles and effortlessly escape police capture. It’s never explained why a few talking animals live in a mostly human city or what they hope to gain through continuous villainy. It only makes sense that Wolf would be a bad guy in order to keep in line with the Big Bad Wolf motif....

This roleplaying/strategy hybrid is set in a Viking-inspired world where humans and giants grudgingly work and live together in an attempt to survive the twin horrors of an extinguished sun and a demonic army made from stone. An elaborate but impressively restrained plot switches between a large cast of characters, any of whom can die or depart at any point. Between that and the constant threat of an impossibly hard Winter, The Banner Saga often seems like a more artful Game of Thrones....

While not entirely disparaging, the rating for The Batman does come as a disappointment to some hoping for more brutality and violence from the Caped Crusader. Audiences have seen some unsettling images of the film’s antagonist, whose sadistic approach is said to mirror the Zodiac Killer while still walking a twisted path uniquely his own. The Riddler embodies a killer who Batman must combat and face while equally trying to bring justice to a city plagued by abusive power and corruption....

Pattinson garnered lots of attention and mass fandom from his role as Edward Cullen, a dark vampire who falls in love with a mortal in the Twilight films. The first Twilight film was released back in 2008, and although it was met with mixed reviews from critics, Twilight has become one of the most successful and beloved franchises to date. Twilight’s premiere in theaters was an absolute smash at the box office, bringing in over $407 million....

The game is still coming along though, and instead of announcing a release date The Behemoth has chosen to release the game’s opening cinematic. This opening clip isn’t just your generic snorefest though, and it will likely be appreciated by anyone with a sense of humor. The new trailer introduces two best friends, one with a square head named Hatty Hattington and another with a round head, who both set off an adventure together....

RELATED: Valuable Lessons Shenmue Can Still Teach To Open-World Games Prior to Grand Theft Auto 3, the concept of open-world gaming was very much in its infancy, with only a handful of titles trying anything anywhere near as ambitious. With the rise of GTA though came a flood of imitators hoping to cash in on the emerging open world market. Although some of these titles have gone on to find success of their own, most of the GTA clones released over the years needed a lot more time in the sequencer....

So we have a new UFC Heavyweight champion in the form of Stipe Miocic, Nate Diaz is back and presumably won’t be vanishing again anytime soon, and we probably have a new top contender at 185lbs too. Whew. Here are the best and worst moments from UFC 241: Cormier vs. Miocic 2. #1 Best: Miocic is back on top After the way Daniel Cormier turned his lights out in their first meeting last July, it was hard to see how Stipe Miocic could regain the title he lost back then in last night’s rematch....

The inner section is a shock proof wrapper for the 10, while the back section grips it in place, with the advantage of two pieces to disperse shocks and drops to best effect. The back also has a handy stand for watching video in landscape. Best HTC 10 cases You can access the camera, read texts and adjust volume of music amongst other things. It also has support for third party notifications from the likes of Instagram and Google+ – and hopefully many more besides, though we haven’t got our hands on one to try it out....

The damage it gives out is AK-47’s best aspect in Warzone. In the past, it simply had too much recoil. The weapon never found a place that worked well in the meta. But Season 3 of Warzone changed that. The AK-47 has manageable recoil and a better recoil pattern in the new Warzone season. Plus, it still deals significant damage at longer ranges and also in close quarters. It can be built in multiple ways for different playstyles, but there is a main loadout that can fit the default Warzone game....

Each sniper rifle is really preferential. Players can make use of them all. They really are versatile and deadly. The M82 is the Black Ops Cold War version of the .50 Cal. This weapon can wipe out players with ease. Being the last sniper rifle unlocked leaves plenty of room for it to be forgotten. It shouldn’t, though. The M82 can be the perfect weapon to pick a spot and destroy enemies as they funnel through a doorway....
