...reputation as a maverick, a troublemaker known for partying and the occasional barroom brawl. A tall rail of a man with graying hair and a raspy smoker's voice, Eichinger stunned moviegoers everywhere with Downfall, the 2004 Oscar nominee that focused in shocking detail on the final days of Hitler and his cohorts in the tight quarters of the Führer's underground bomb shelter. Long before then, his first big commercial success in Germany was the 1981 film We Children From Bahnhof Zoo, the story of - another shocker - a 12-year-old girl in West Berlin who gets...

Meeting adversity with a sort of gloomy wit is not a characteristic that always serves Brits well; they sometimes crack jokes when they should be complaining. Yet in this coldest of economic climates, an unquenchable sense of humor...
...several hypothetical scenarios based on this incident in the book, but the fact that he completely manipulates the outcomes to support his points detracts from his methods. Ekman’s case is stronger when he leans on real historical and political examples, like the exchange between Adolf Hitler and Neville Chamberlain in 1938, where the latter’s willingness to believe dictator’s promises resulted in Chamberlain’s infamous promise to his countrymen of “peace for our time.”Ekman is most compelling when he looks...
