''This movie chronicles the life and times of R. Crumb. Robert Crumb is the cartoonist/artist who drew Keep On Truckin', Fritz the Cat, and played a major pioneering role in the genesis of underground comix. Through interviews with his mother, two brothers, wife, and ex- girlfriends, as well as selections from his vast quantity of graphic art, we are treated to a darkly comic ride through one man's subconscious mind. As stream-of-consciousness images incessantly flow forth from the tip of his pen, biting social satire is revealed, often along with a disturbing and haunting vision of Crumb's own betes noires and inadequacies. As his acid-trip induced images flicker across our own retinas, we gain a little insight into this complex and highly creative individual''

A few days back, me and a friend decided to go out and check  out the new Delux Villa to see what that place had to offer beside some really expensive rooms. To our surprise, when we got there, we met with the owner and he was happy to give us the grand tour of the place. I think he showed us close to 8 different rooms and explained that every room was designed differently according to culture. If my eyes were not deceiving me, all rooms are air conditioned and hanging on the wall are some 45 inch flat screen T.V.s for your viewing pleasure. This place also has a mini bar and by saying that, he is looking for a bartender so if you got the experience, he is willing to talk about pay and maybe benefits. Prices on rooms? Well that's a whole different story. Do you have couple hundred dollars to throw away a night? If you do, this place is for you. They take your money and make you feel happy about giving it to them. I mean this is one of the best hotels that I have seen in Battam

My mountain bike was stolen from my house last night, so I am asking as many people as possible to keep an eye out for it.

It is my pride and joy and only mode of transport so I would really appreciate your help. A reward will be offered for its safe return.   Photo is attached at the time of purchase minus the accessories (it now has stand, mudguards, speedo, reflector, drink bottle holder etc) which they

Like I said before, this  place has AC for those hot humid days when your trying to cool off, and the employees seem to be responsive, meaning the service is good. I don't really want to put down my full review since this was my first visit, but I will, as soon as I can get
