Rusty Knife (1958)

Rusty Knife: Interesting gangster Japanese noir film. I don't really have anything in particular to say about the movie - it's actually very interesting yet there's nothing out of the ordinary about the plot. Classic tale of a man who committed a crime, paid for it and the tries to become an honest man but just can't!

Morning Calm magazine February 2010

Il y a un article sur la poutine et aussi sur le Domaine Pinacle and le magazine gratuit publié par Korean Air - Morning Calm Février 2010. Une belle surprise! D'ailleurs j'ai reçu un magazine au hasard de mars 2009 en achetant ma caméra et il y avait un article sur Montréal et son centre-ville avec 3 belles photos. Montréal est "in" ici! J'ajoute aussi des photos au hasard!

Movies & music

Man on Wire Decent documentary. Overhyped a tad bit, but enjoyable to see how a man could risk so much just to do something crazy! If anything it shows what it means to be driven to do something no matter what!

Quantum of Solace Watched it again for the first time since seeing it in theaters. Actually it was more decent than when I saw it the first time. Not a bad James Bond flick in the end.

Virgin Springs Bergman in top form. Mainly asks the question: Is it alright to seek retribution for horrible deeds done to you? Why did God allow this? The story is simple yet very powerful: a very religious knight's daughter gets raped and murdered. Furthermore, the villains are staying in the knight's stable for the night right after they did their miserable deed. The acting from Max von Sydow is, for me, a reason to watch this movie again. Although I should watch other Bergman films that I have not yet seen...

Spoon - Transference Wow! If you liked their previous work you will enjoy this one on the first listening - like I did!

Massive Attack - Heligoland I haven't listened to it often enough to actually say anything about aside from the fact that it's not like 100th Window and more like Mezzanine. Took them 7 years to release a new album...
