Bruce Willis is back and kicking bad-guy butt as New York detective John McClane in the third installment of this action-packed series. McClane thought he'd seen it all, until a genius named Simon (Jeremy Irons) engages McClane -- and his beloved city -- in a deadly game. McClane has seen his share of bad days … but this one just might top them all. Directed by John McTiernan (The Hunt for Red October, Rollerball).
McClane Vs. Zee Germahns again. This time with added swearing from Sam Jackson. A must see action.

Edukators
Friends Jan (Daniel Bruhl) and Peter (Stipe Erceg) use a membership list from the city's yacht club to break into mansions. They don't steal, but instead stack furniture, put artworks in the toilet and stereos in the fridge, then leave a note saying, "Your days of plenty are numbered," signed The Edukators. Director Hans Weingartner grafts all the elements of a thriller onto a fascinating discussion of the need for kids to rebel … peaceably.
Keeping the german theme alive this week i guess. I watched this sort of generic teen movie with my girlfiried, she loves germanness, im not impressed. A pretty stereotypical love triangle movie, add a little kidnappin in for fun, and ta-da, you have a movie. Worth watching once.

R. Crumb Hand Book
THE R. CRUMB HANDBOOK is a brand new take on the life, trials and ideas of one of the most influential cartoonists of the last 40 years. Wry, self-deprecating, and candid, this is an exceptionally revealing and unexpectedly moving visual biography. Crumb is thoughtful and enlightening, with insights into 20th century popular culture that are hilarious, challenging, and acidly satirical. He casts an unblinking eye onto the underbelly of modern life, an urban nightmare of human weakness, lust, terror, and cruelty, all seen through the comic lens of his satire. Simultaneously, he weaves in the surreal narrative of his personal evolution from his tormented childhood in the 1940s through to his coming of age as an artist in the psychedelic revolution of the 1960s. With over 50 personal photographs, and 300 images taken from his sketchbooks and comic books, as well as fine art from museums, THE R. CRUMB HANDBOOK tells it like it is!
This book is a sort of biography/autobiography of Robert Crumb. A very entertaining read exspecially if you have not already seen the numerous Crumb movies that exist. Lots of great comic book strip examples plus a great time line from acid freak to old age. The CD that comes with this is amazing as well, lots of sweet old timey swing/jazz/weirdness.
