My dad and I didn’t like him either. But I can guarantee you neither one of us is going to give him another read.

Melbourne Dining Recommendation
Sel de la Terre. 74 Tookrak Road, South Yarra.
Expensive but very delicious French food, even to a native Frenchman (Christophe, no less! A man of high-class tastes).
Chicago Dining Recommendation.
De Cero. 814 W. Randolph.
Their taco list is awe inspiring and oh so yummy.
Big Screen: The Black Dahlia.
Some strong acting (Hilary Swank, for one, was wonderful. Completely forgot it was her in every scene). Strong directing (Brian de Palma’s been pretty much a god to me since the first time I saw “Body Double”). Really great illustration of noir. Good movie. But ultimately felt things moved a little bit slower than they could have.
There was one point in particular where a conversation between two people was being conducted soooo slowly and that was already 1h45 into the movie and I thought “This is GOOD, but it might go on forever…” (My dad disagrees; he quite liked the pacing.)
And if I haven’t mentioned it before, Aaron Eckhart’s picture is next to “yummy” in my dictionary…
