Before the Devil knows your dead - good story, even Ethan Hawke was bearable.
Jimmy Carter Man from Plains - revolves around the book tour for 'Palestine: peace not apartheid'. Interesting perspective/insight into Carter's beliefs, but it becomes repetitive and could have been shorter or, dug into the issues more.

CV - Reviews / June 2-6
[Music: Alicia Keyes]
Getting floor seats at a stadium show was a first - and they were 20 rows back, dead center. So great for seeing miss Keyes tap the keys, but overall the sound was a mess, hard to distinguish instruments and voices. Best parts were her piano driven songs. A very talented woman, but as many have said, poorly produced.
6/10 [AK gets a 10 because she's simple and fabulous]
[Theatre: Import/Export]
Saw this play as part of TransAmerique and have to say that I liked the production of it (staging/props/concept) but the narrative was loose and the 'politic' didn't bring anything new to the subject. The multi-language approach was cool and the acting believable so not a total loss.
5/10
[Food: Cash & Curry]
Intimate space in that fun hub between St Laurent and St Denis on Duluth. As part of a larger group we were treated to apps and mains of Malaysian cooking. Large groups are often a challenge for a kitchen - so I'll be back to try more à la carte.
7/10

One Liners: June Bug
On the weather front, summer is off to a slow start, but festival frenzy has begun and year after year, the signs of Grand Prix signal the start of summer for me....

Ate at Lémeac last Sunday - wasn't a top choice but all the smaller bistros are closed on Sundays. It was fine - steady, but lacks ambience. Hadn't been in a couple of years, I think the decor may have changed, couldn't quite put my finger on it. En tout cas, the company was much better the second time around and nice to walk off the mean down st. laurent...
