National Geographic Photo Contest 2011 National Geographic is currently holding its annual photo contest, with the deadline for submissions coming up on November 30. For the past nine weeks, the society has been gathering and presenting galleries of submissions, encouraging readers to vote for them as well. National Geographic was kind enough to let me choose among its entries from 2011 for display here on In Focus. Gathered below are 45 images from the three categories of People, Places, and Nature, with captions written by the individual photographers. [45 photos] The Best New Sci-Fi Classics, Volume 1 A few months back I offered a list called "The Best New Action Classics," which is a very fancy title for a very basic list of "recent international action movies that I liked a whole lot." Basically it was a fun way for me to make a list (I love lists) while hopefully shining a small spotlight on films you loved -- or haven't seen yet. And so now I'm back to do pretty much the same thing for science fiction films, but this time we're limiting ourselves to ten (10) movies that were released in the past 10 (ten) years. Notable omissions can, of course, be screamed at us via the Movies.com twitter, my own tweet factory, or the handy little comments section below.
Good Horror Movies Every Fan Has To See If you ask people on the street for some suggestions of a great horror movie, odds are you'd get a wide range of answers. You’d get everything from the scariest slasher film to horror comedies and even b-rated horror movies that barely classify for the genre. Because we all have a different capacity for being scared and our own unique reasons for watching horror films, we of course have varying tolerances for gore and suspenseful movies[2].

Best of Rotten Tomatoes The Best Science Fiction Books (According to Reddit) Recently, someone asked Reddit for a list of the best science fiction books of all time. Being a fan of sci-fi, and wanting to expand my own reading list, I thought it would be helpful to tally the results and preserve them here for future reference. I've also included selected quotes from the comments, as well as my own notes on the books I've already read.

The Best New Action Classics, Volume 1 Last week I finally caught a screening of the highly-anticipated Indonesian action film The Raid, which has been bringing down houses at TIFF and Sundance. (Our review from TIFF.) The frankly stunning action film is directed by Gareth Evans (Merantau), and it will be released by Sony Pictures Classics in late March / early April -- but not before kicking some ass at South By Southwest next month. So on my way home from The Raid, I was (of course) tweeting in highly opinionated fashion about how "foreign" films are presently kicking Hollywood's ass, as far as quality action films are concerned. Then I got a response from Duncan Jones, director of Moon and Source Code, asking me to write a piece about the best recent action movies I've seen from around the planet. And when the guy who debuted with one of the best sci-fi films in 20 years asks for a favor, you do it.
5 Ways To Hack Your Brain Into Awesomeness Much of the brain is still mysterious to modern science, possibly because modern science itself is using brains to analyze it. There are probably secrets the brain simply doesn't want us to know. But by no means should that stop us from tinkering around in there, using somewhat questionable and possibly dangerous techniques to make our brains do what we want. We can't vouch for any of these, either their effectiveness or safety. All we can say is that they sound awesome, since apparently you can make your brain...
The 25 best horror movies you've never seen There are a lot of terrible horror movies out there. Possibly more than any other genre, horror seems to appeal to wannabe filmmakers who figure it’s easy and cheap to pull off a scary movie – and thanks to the success of many low budget horror movies, distributors seem to be putting out an awful lot of them. So I’d understand if you didn’t want to trawl through an endless sea of crap to find the few real gems amongst the cinematic slurry. But I’m an addict, and keep coming back for more punishment. The payoff is that sometimes, very occasionally, you discover something brilliant. Here are 25 great horror movies that you probably haven’t seen, possibly haven’t even heard of (some of them don’t even have UK distribution), but which are well worth your time.

Top 10 Truly Disturbing Horror Films I have watched thousands of movies throughout my life and I am one of those folks who enjoys films from every single genre but in particular films that leave their mark on me long after I turn them off.Worth noting I am not a journalist, I am just an average joe who loves film and happens to write about it.

Martin Scorsese's Film School: The 85 Films You Need To See To Know Anything About Film Interviewing Martin Scorsese is like taking a master class in film.

Some of the movies he discussed (note: the descriptions for these are below in quotes, denoting his own words).
