Moving to Vancouver??!!

29 01 2006

Heidi and I have been spending the last 7 days seriously considering moving from Montreal to downtown Vancouver! There’s so many reasons, top among them being that we would be closer to much of our family, it would be SO much easier for people to visit us and for us to visit them and we’re not feeling like MTL is long term lately, and I don’t think my work would care at all. That was our bombshell last weekend and it continues to mushroom all week. If this keeps expanding we may actually move there this summer – anyone know of any good rental property near downtown (Heidi’s thinking Kitsilano)?

Movies I've watched recently:

Real Steel (2011) 7/10

YVR > SJC - kind of a zany concept but it works relatively well, not a great boxing movie but not too bad.

This movie came well recommended to me and it was a good, strange and profanity laced comedy. The main character was profound, confusing and yet remarkably consistent and believable. Some good lines in there and a nice change of pace from an action movie loaded with action to this one which seems to try to avoid it at every turn.

When a movie with a plot as benign as MLB drafting and trading using statistics instead of scouting intuition is this entertaining, you know they did something right. Great story that had both Heidi and I riveted to a sport that we really know and care very little about.

MSP > YVR - Solid acting in this action-drama, decent story, pretty good fight scenes and sympathetic characters. All in all, nicely done.

Ugh, this Christian movie was not worth watching. While it followed the plot of the Prodigal Son story closely, it seemed to lack all the great details that we had been learning about in the Prodigal God book study that we were going through. The acting was poor, most of the characters were poorly developed and the dialog was very local (to Texas) and didn't sound very natural to my Canadian ears.
