But growth that is heedless of environmental impacts, collaboration with Russia that is heedless of Vladimir Putin's malevolence, and greater aggressiveness toward China that is heedless of the carefully crafted security balance among the U.S., China and Taiwan — which has produced prosperity and stability in Asia for over four decades — is reckless.

In The Conjuring 2, he opts for fewer jump scares in favor of greater ongoing malevolence, to palpable effect: A middle-act sequence in which Lorraine confronts the horrific demonic nun who's been appearing in her visions had so many people in my theater screaming that I felt like I was on a roller coaster.

It was just another unpredictable, bruising night in the world of SoundCloud rap — a swelling subgenre that takes its name from its creators' preferred streaming service — which in the last year has become the most vital and disruptive new movement in hip-hop thanks to rebellious music, volcanic energy and occasional acts of malevolence.

Aside from one of the most contentious and mind-numbingly baffling election cycles in recent memory, 2016 could very well go down in the annals of history as the year in which the scourge of malevolence that are creepy clowns finally went one step too far and a coalition of good was formed to halt their reign of skulduggery.

Naturally, as obviously bad movies go, The Shallows is dragged under by expository asides and "plot" devices: the hovering presence of Lively's long-dead mother, a seagull whom she can voice-command like a dog, her tendency to talk herself through pain and suffering like a med student practicing bedside manner, and the anthropomorphic malevolence of the shark itself.

When I say that they're "atmospheric," I'm not implying that they've ingested one too many shoegaze records or grew up outside Portland; rather, the atmosphere Farsot conjures coats each note with an overwhelming sense of darkness, eldritch unease, and quiet malevolence (and then recorded it all in a earthen cave dug deep underground a primeval forest).

"With Sky, it's either intentional malevolence, or the other possibility is that they weren't fully aware of what that action meant because they effectively eliminated anyone with any doping experience in their employment base," said Jonathan Vaughters, a former rider who confessed to doping and who is the chief executive of the United States-based Cannondale-Drapac cycling team.

Abominor's aggressive display of black/death malevolence was excellent, and even though Almyrkvi mastermind Garðar Jónsson was up there playing his first show with this new project (his primary gig is with Sinmara), the band's tight, compact performance was an immediate standout—I saw more than a few jaws drop as he wended his way through a bevy of expansive, innovative riffs.

The band deals in the kind of fetid, backward-facing death that we've come to expect from the underground post-2010, replete with shuddering riffs, mouldering roars, blackened malevolence, and an overall vibe of churning, oozing chaos that's perhaps an unintentional (but welcome) relic of the progenitors' time spent playing in black metal bands like Lake of Blood and Doctorshopper.

"If true, I agree with the U.S. Attorney's Office that these third-party schemes, initiated by a few bad actors, operated to commit a fraud on the impacted universities and their basketball programs, including the University of Louisville…" Come on dude, we've seen your haircut, we've felt your pure malevolence pouring out of our televisions, we know you were in on this.

Superbly equipped by the cold edges of her classically sculpted looks to incarnate the concept of the femme fatale, Lena Headey beams Cersei's radiant malevolence at such a depth into the viewer's mind that she reawakens a formative disturbance: did my mother look after me because she loved me, or was she doing all that only because she had to?

Members of the European Parliament believe that Ted Malloch - a businessman who supported Brexit and who has been named as the preferred choice of President Trump to represent the U.S. in Brussels - displays "outrageous malevolence" to the idea of the EU. In a letter obtained by CNBC, European lawmakers said that if the "prospective nominee" takes on the ambassador role, the U.S. - EU relationship could be "seriously undermined".

"These statements reveal outrageous malevolence regarding the values that define this European Union and, if pronounced by an official representative of the United States, they would have the potential to undermine seriously the transatlantic relationship that has, for the past 70 years, essentially contributed to peace, stability and prosperity in our continent," Manfred Webber, from the conservative party, and Guy Verhofstadt, from the liberal party, said in the letter.

When the telemarketing firm rewards Cassius' supernatural cold-calling prowess with promotions and praise, these represent a concrete means to save Sergio's house and the first time in Cassius's adult life that people in power have told him he's good at something — even if that something turns out to be shilling for weapons manufacturers and Worry Free (whose sarong-sporting chief executive is played with slick, winking malevolence by Armie Hammer).

Maybe with his sixth sense for great stories, he somehow knew he was about to become one of the most scorching stories in Hollywood history, with an ending echoing that all-time classic of female empowerment and great shoes, "The Wizard of Oz."

More has been said about Stanley Kubrick's claustrophobic triumph than we could ever sum up here, so we'll stick to pointing out how many incredibly weird elements this film manages to imbue with utter malevolence, from that creepy-as-fuck bear costume to Danny's talking finger and the boy living in his mouth; from those terrifying twins to the ominous bartender and the ghost in the bathtub; from objects that move, shift, and vanish in the middle of scenes to the TV set that functions while unplugged; from corridors that are physically impossible to vanishing hedge mazes with Jack Torrance as the minotaur at the center.
