Fantasia film festival 2006

Unfortunately, Fantasia 2006 has come to an end again. This year I went to see (only) 4 movies. In order to share with you and have a reminder for myself, here is the list of movies that I saw:
Blood Rain


Fullmetal Alchemist the Movie: Conqueror of Shambala


The Great Yokai War


Re-Cycle



My favorite among these four was The Great Yokai War, Takashi Miike's (of Ichi the Killer-fame/infamy) rendition of a kids movie! And in fact, it is a kids movie but of course with a twist. It is after all a Miike movie.

Italians celebrating on St.Viateur, Montréal

Yesterday was the World Cup final and we all know the outcome. I went to watch the match at Club Social on St.Viateur (here in Montréal which is an Italian coffee place. Needless to say that the patrons and many other Italians (or those from Italian descent) were exhilarated after the last penalty shot was converted by Grosso. Here are some pictures.
