Mon meilleur ami...

My alterna date and i were talking about how many people we would consider to be our best friends...the type of friend that you could call at 3am or in an emergency, knowing that they would come to your rescue - guaranteed...and also, that they lived in a 5Km radius.

We had eachother. I could add D...but i actually feel funny if i imposed on him with an emergency call at 3am.

If M still lived in the area, i would put her down. If E was closer by 5Km...then i would put him down...and that is the same for K, L, G and V.

We spoke about this on Saturday, prior to watching "Mon meilleur ami - My best friend" on Sunday at the Palace Twin Cinemas.

And it was funny that our topic of conversation was the exact premise of the movie.

I was hoping that the movie would be more funny...but I found it dramatic and serious...perhaps, it is because it touches on the topic of alone & loneliness, and I obviously have an affinity with being alone.

Irrespective of the serious underlying tone of the movie, i still enjoyed it. After all it is a story about being a true best friend.

But if you had to watch one French flick this year, I would suggest vehemently, that you go watch "Prête-moi ta main - I do". It was part of the French Film Fest 2007, but I missed it by watching Priceless and OSS-117.

I think it speaks for itself that it was part of the Fest and now its actually showing in cinemas as general release.

G got a free double pass to the advanced screening of "I do" and asked me to go with him - as I obviously have this thing with foreign movies, lest to say French flicks.

And it was the BEST French film I had seen for the year. It was FUNNY!!! If anyone said that the French don't know how to do comedy, they should really see "I do". I couldnt stop laughing and i thoroughly enjoyed it.

Over the long weekend, i slept in and i went shopping - lots of shopping!!!

I didnt buy anything really expensive, but i bought a lot of inexpensive things...which in the end broke my budget for this month anyway.

Shame on me.
