Last night I've seen Tsotsi, the Oscar winner for best foreign film of the year. It's very good, it has something humane in it that reaches out to audiences. In the same time it's nothing big, nothing holywoodian about it. It's a simple story about a simple guy and maybe because nothing is big, nothing is exaggerated, maybe that's why it's so touching and humane and credible. Anyway, it's worth having a look. It's a message a hope in the middle of a sad decor that would normally have a sad effect on the viewer. The film deserves the Oscar.
In the weekend the plan is to see among other things Y Tu Mama Tambien, a mexican film with that guy from Motorcycle Diaries, I can't remember his name and too lazy to look it up now.

The big destination for the end of the year is narrowing down to Caribbeans or maybe Central America. I found some tickets to Jamaica for 400 pounds and a cheap caribbean airline: http://www.liatairline.com/Now, I have to read more about the area and come up with a 3 weeks itinerary. Jumping from one island to another sounds fun. That's unless a tornado happens to sweep the region at that time. Fingers crossed. Fingers crossed for tornado not happening, what else? Duh.

I'm hungry ... lunch break is here. :-)

Gael Garcia Bernal is the name of the guy! And if Carmen reads this: yeap, impossible to go to Brazil during Christmas and New Year's and avoid family gathering. I'm not going to do this with Cipri now. 2007 maybe... :-)
