Intouchables (film) - {a MUST see}
Attended an advanced screening of French film Intouchables last night. When this hits theatres June 1st in Canada make sure you go see it! I wasn't expecting much initially as I did not read into the film but it somewhat blew me away and was surprisingly funny. That might explain why it is the top grossing film in France, Germany and Spain, which netted Omar Sy the 2012 best actor award at the Cezars (the Oscars of France). Although the dialogue is French, there are English subtitles so no worries. You'll also notice that Franรงois Cluzet looks like Dustin Hoffman's twin brother while Omar Sy has some resemblance to Lamar Odom. Either way, it's a touching film that will tickle your funny bone and is, in my opinion, one of the best films to come out this year.

Pina (Wim Wenders-3D) Bell Lightbox
Just saw this and appreciated it thoroughly. A great departure from the daily grinde to the cinematography of Wenders and freedom of dance.

Did he have you faked?
Well there's no way that you didn't believe it just for a split second when news broke out that he gave up acting and turned into an infamous rapper. You must have witnessed at least one of those bizarre appearances whether it'd be on Dave Letterman or his performance in Miami. Well it's been two years of faking out the media and the public, which makes me want to see "I'm Still Here", TIFF 2010 featured film.
