“I wear black and white – and black.
Colour looks shit on me.
It just does.”

Revolutionaries…
“Revolutionary Road” was another great project from director Sam Mendes who won an award for his work on “American Beauty” a few years back… It’s amazing how he, a British chap (!), has a knack for bringing unhappy suburban Americana to the big picture…
“Revolutionary Road” isn’t a joyful movie, yet a real one… Watching my favorite actors Kate and Leo for two whole hours isn’t something I would complain about… How on earth Mr. DiCaprio didn’t get a nomination for this year’s Oscars is beyond me… In my opinion, he absolutely gave one of his best performances ever… Nothing new for him, and nothing new either for the Academy Awards not to notice…

One Cold Day…
OK… Let’s talk a bit about culture here… The past few weeks have seen me already meet a few of my new year resolutions… Well, only one of them, come to think of it… I watched a few good films, the kind with great acting and artistry… “Doubt“, a great movie with an even greater cast, creating much doubt in the audience… “The Reader“, a stunning film, played beautifully by my all-time favorite actress, Kate Winslet, winner of not just one but two Golden Globe awards… This was a movie that reminded you of true love lasting a lifetime… “Milk“, starring the incomparable Sean Penn, actor extraordinaire…
I finally made it to the AGO as well… The new addition to the building has been amazingly designed by Frank Gehry… Unfortunately, the exhibitions at the time of my visit were not too interesting to me, but hey, there are always more to come…
Toronto is cold but sunny these days… I was working from home yesterday; though craving my morning walk in the fresh wintery air, my coffee, and the live underground stories made me come to work today… In one fine cold day!
