In Bruges


We saw a pretty cool little film last night called In Bruges, which is the story of 2 Dublin hitmen who are ordered to Bruges, Belgium to hide out for a couple of weeks after a hit they made in London went awry. The town itself is a character in the film and is so beautiful with its fairytale gothic architecture, canals, and cobbled streets...

I liked this film in part because it was well written and really well made but also because I've been to Belgium and have fallen in love with it. It truly is like being in a fairytale... especially Gent and a wonderful little mustard shop there! Interestingly enough, my Belgian friend Cedric was in town last week... (see silly-ish photo of him at Malibu Seafood below, high five-ing giant lobster) ...it was great to see him and as is the tradition with Cedric, we had a delicious sushi dinner at Matsuhisa Thursday (!) then did some serious hanging out at the very unique Moonshadows lounge in Malibu on Friday night. Anyway, In Bruges came out on video this week and is definitely worth checking out....


...have a nice weekend!
