Tetro USA, 2009 ☆☆

Five years in Montréal

The first four pictures below are from my first apartment in this city. I rented a room at Marie-Josée's apartment on Pontiac Street and Mont Royal. Yep, right there in the Plateau. Too noisy neighbourhood if you ask me.

Then comes my second apartment (pictures 5 to 8) in downtown Montréal as well, but this time close to McGill University, the area known as "McGill ghetto". To the left of apartment building there is a now a huge Hilton hotel. In the corner of Av. Du Parc and Sherbrooke, the famous Café Imagination where I spent many afternoons. The espresso is very good there by the way.

My third apartment is on Fulton street (last two pictures), where I lived for more than 3 years here. This is the Russian-Eastern European-Jewish area. Thanks to Victor for taking the pictures.

From Paris With Love USA, 2010 ☆☆☆

With John Travolta as a bad cop working for the FBI. It starts off cheesy but it is actually better than you think. Cool action scenes all the way to the end.

Don't Look Now UK-Italy, 1973 ☆☆☆☆

A father loses his only child in an accident and while working in Venice, he will encounter strange characters who convince him that they are able to communicate with his dead child. Both Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland play amazing roles. This is a very well crafted mystery movie.

But I'm A Cheerleader USA, 1999 ☆☆

A comedy about trying to educate kids back to heterosexuality, as though it were a disease. Good funny moments but the acting could be better.

Agathe Cléry France, 2009 ☆☆☆

A musical comedy about a racist woman who due to a sickness starts to turn into a black person. Her worst nightmare becomes reality! More amusing than funny, the musical bits are somewhat of a stretch, but still fun to watch.

The Headless Woman La Mujer Sin Cabeza, Argentina, 2009 ☆☆

A woman has a car accident. She thinks she has run over someone, but is not sure. She did not stop to see. The whole movie is about her feeling remorseful. The thought cannot go away from her mind. It starts to bug her more and more. A nice psychological experiment.

No Impact Man US, 2009 ☆☆☆☆

An experiment that can be quite extreme. A man decides to reduce to zero his impact on the environment. Along with his wife and daughter, they start buying local food, stop using transportation, and end up turning off the lights of their Manhattan apartment for 6 months. Interesting, funny and original.
