I had been looking forward to this movie for a really long time, way before the whole Brad/Angelina/Jennifer love triangle ! My expectations were high and I was not dissapointed. I love this kind of dark twisted action comedy. The chemistry between Brand & Angelina is great... what a surprise right ? Lots of actions, lots of laughs... Way better than a similar movie called "The War of the Roses" released over 10 years ago. Fun Fun Fun!


TV : "CANADIAN IDOL - Season 3"

Canadian Idol is back for a third season and I really hope it is as good as season 2 (with Kalan, Theresa & Jacob). So far, so good. 4 Quebec competitors are part of the top 32. We'll see what happens.... Not a big fan of that 16 years old kid who sings like a girl and got picked to be the first member of the top 10. Can't agree on all the choices I guess.


TV : "FIRE ME PLEASE"

This new reality show of 4 episodes is pretty much the opposite of the apprentice. The contestants must get fired as close to 3 o'clock as possible... 4 contestants per episode but only two winners. They have to work approximately 5 hours and act crazy and weird. For some reason, I think I would be perfect for this show (lol). It's a weird concept but it creates a lot of really funny situations and reactions, (Thursdays at 9 on CBS)


TV : "HIT ME BABY ONE MORE TIME"

This show brings back one-hit wonder bands or performers for one night. They each sing their greatest hit and also do a cover of one of today's hit songs. The winner gets money for a charity of their choice. It's interesting to see people and bands like Vanilla Ice, Tiffany, Glass Tiger, Ce Ce Peniston, etc. and see what they look like now... ! For a lot of them, we understand why they were one-hit wonders when they perform atrocious versions of recent songs. Mildly entertaining... (Thursday at 9pm on NBC)


MOVIE : "C.R.A.Z.Y."

This movie is, in my opinion, one of the best Quebec films I have ever seen. It is definitely the best one since "Elles Étaient Cinq" released last fall. This film follows the story of a family with 5 boys in the 70's. By the way, the soundtrack is brilliant and features music from Pink Floyd, David Bowie, etc. Michel Côté is great, as the dad and newcomer Marc-André Grondin is incredible in the lead role as tormented young Zach. You should all go see it !


CD : GORILLAZ - "Demon Days"

Before this CD, I only knew Gorillaz from their popular "Clint Eastwood" single a few years back... but when I heard the first single off their second CD, "Feel Good Inc.", I LOOOOOOOVED it... ! This song was also featured in an iPod commercial. I was curious to hear the full album and I definitely was impressed. The record features many funky and remarkable tunes and contains many different styles. Fun Summer Music !
