...ambitious but sub-ordinary SF epic in which, as so often, Willis is better than his material. He keeps you watching, inspecting the carcass, and not just because there's not much else to look at. With his coiled poise and the compact gestures of someone who doesn't mind being scrutinized by the camera, Willis exudes worldly wariness and cosmic weariness, as if he'd achieved a state of Zen machismo. He offered a giant dose of this in the last and best Die Hard movie, in 2007, where his hero, John McClane, was so close to a still...
...composite of Chanel's aunt and her sister), she rips apart a corset, giving Adrienne's lush body a chance to move within the clothing.

Or take a look at Leipzig's Museum Runde Ecke, www. runde-ecke-leipzig.de, another Stasi base that is now an authentically preserved museum filled with examples of how East German society...

Over the past decade - and even before the 2001 Afghanistan war began - thousands of Afghans have traveled illegally on epic journeys that last weeks and cross several borders. They all have one goal in mind: to sneak aboard container trucks on ferry boats bound for Britain, where they see their best prospects.
