I KILLED MY MOTHER

An autobiographical movie from 2009 written, directed and starring Xavier Dolan, depicting his own life as a gay teenager growing up in Montreal, this is probably the best Canadian film I've ever seen. It won three awards at Cannes where it was first shown, and apparently received an eight-minute long standing ovation. Yes, it's that good. :)

It was Canada's selection for Best Foreign Film at the 2009 Academy Awards.

Xavier himself plays the part of Hubert. His best friend (and lover) is played by none other than Francois Arnaud, who is currently playing the part of Cesare Borgia on 'The Borgias'.

Most of my teams are doing well so far in the Europa League. The Round of 32 has finished, so we are down to the final 16 teams. The results from the Round of 32 (just including MY teams) are:

Manchester City 4 - 0 FC Porto
Atletico Madrid 1 - 0 Lazio
Schalke04 3 - 1 Plzen
Metalist 4 - 1 Salzburg
Athletic Club 1 - 0 Lokomotiv Moscow
Valencia 1 - 0 Stoke City
Club Brugge 0 - 1 Hannover
Sporting Lisbon 1 - 0 Warsaw

So the Round of 16, first leg to take place on March 8th, involves these final eight match-ups:

Metalist vs Olympiacos
Sporting Lisbon vs Manchester City
FC Twente vs Schalke04
Standard Liege vs Hannover
Valencia vs PSV
AZ Alkmaar vs Udinese
Atletico Madrid vs Besiktas
Manchester United vs Athletic Bilbao

My thoughts? It is VERY unfair to have Manchester City always playing Portuguese teams. Also interesting that there are no French teams remaining. Spain and Holland each have 3 teams still in it, England and Germany both have 2.

This is from Athletic vs Lokomotiv
