...Still, it's a pretty good sequence in a movie that's full of pretty good-if insanely improbable-sequences, including one high point moment in which a car driven by Willis manages to knock a malevolently hovering helicopter right out of the air. Realism is not, shall we say, high on the list of director Len Wiseman's priorities. At the screening I attended you could sense the audience's adrenaline pumping and then hear the applause burst forth when Willis and his computer nerd buddy Matt Farrell (the very cute Justin Long) escaped from assorted, largely fiery villainies...
...seems to go through the audience. At least his voice has still the same distinctive, warm sound. While the singer shares his tales of depression, drug abuse and disoriented expats, the audience for the most part sits quietly in their seats. The choir and orchestra add a strangely upbeat air to the songs, the bleakness of which had irritated critics when it was released. There is not much movement on stage, except a background singer in a red dress gently rocking back and forth in a chair. One cannot help but wonder, has Berlin become re-unified but boring...

There is something different in the air at Christiania these days - the usual spicy aroma of marijuana smoke now occasionally mixes with the smell of tear gas and burning tires. That's because, more than three decades after Europe's oldest and largest commune was established as an antidote to "selfish society," Danish authorities are moving to close it down. More than 90 people were arrested a few weeks ago after groups of youths fought running battles with police, throwing bottles and cobblestones and burning homemade barricades. The riot, a rare occurrence in this normally placid Scandinavian country, was prompted...
...Friday's air strike follows a three-day battle between Coalition and militant forces in Uruzgan province in which it is thought that upward of 50 civilians may have been caught in the crossfire, though investigations are still being carried out. And on Monday, seven boys were killed when a US warplane bombed a religious seminary in Paktika, eastern Afghanistan. A coalition press statement released shortly after the attack said that the compound, which contained a mosque and a madrassah, was "a suspected safehouse for al-Qaida fighters" and that coalition forces had confirmed the "presence of nefarious activity occurring...
