We had breakfast at the St Lawrence Market.<\/p>\n

Then headed off to our first movie, a really good movie in one of the kinda sucky Scotia Bank Mall multiplex theaters. The Husband<\/a>, about a guy who is taking care of his baby while his wife is doing jail time for having sex with a 14-year-old. It had parts that were quite hard to watch, this guy doing stupid stuff, but it was very well edited and tight, and also never went too far – real cinema verit\u00e9. It ends on an up note for dads – they are pretty much the good guys – the moms in the film are either absent or fucked up.<\/p>\n

Our second movie was John Ridley’s<\/a> biopic about Jimi Hendrix, All Is By My Sid<\/a>e, starring Andre from Outkast as Jimi. I know Ridley as an NPR commentator and author. The line was all-ages – people my age – boomers – who remember Jimi; kids in their 20s and 30s who came because of Outkast; and Ridley is 10 years younger than me, in his 40s, Gen X – so got that age group too.<\/p>\n

\"Andre<\/a>

We decided to keep it a 2 movie day, and go out to dinner instead. We went to a place called Acadia<\/a> – but I think I will tell you about that later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
