All things come to an end

What? oh yes, that ol' cliche.
You know when things come to an end, especially when you're about to leave a place, when you wake up in the morning and start planning your day and calculate the time you got left to execute each activity you set your self to do.
So i don't know whether I'm going to fly tomorrow (Friday the 13Th) or next week, in any case my flight back to the UK is on the 19Th but i would be better off returning beforehand.
That decision is mainly to do with money, yes money, that ol' cliche.
I have to pay money to change my flight and at the same time i don't have to pay at all to do that if i stay till the 19Th, one of those dilemmas we all face once in a while when it comes to money - 'I already am paying for this, so what difference does it make if i add a bit more money and just....' dilemmas that make life more interesting and spiced with brave decisions about money handling, where is Bernie Madoff when you need him to fix you up with some cash you want to invest, ha?

Movies I've seen so far in NY - 'Che' part 1 - interesting and factual, for the lovers of the revolutionist and his pop culture heroic status.
'Synecdoche New York' - A tangled surrealist legend about a play write who's body is falling apart in the beginning of the movie and then his personality and his mind follow up in the middle and end of it. Kind of 'Deconstructing Harry' meets the 'Truman Show' and a touch of 'Lost highway'. It's a Charlie Kaufman shtick and is a hefty dose of cinematic philosophy which leaves you wondering - how long was i sleeping and when did Diane Wist had joined the cast?
'Frost Vs Nixon'- A tour the force, as film critics would call this one, and i agree. It's the famous David frost shindig where he interviewed the ashamed Nixon after he parted from office based on the allegations of the Watergate shambles. Frank Langella, whom i will track down his filmography for sure, plays a very dour, spiteful and defiant Nixon while Michael sheen completes this excellent two hander gripping drama by playing the fast living, womanising and very determined Frost in his BBC heydays. Must be seen by every future wannabe strong character TV presenter who wants to make a career in the small screen by grilling politicians.
'The class' or 'entre les murs' as it's known by it's original french title who won the Canne best film award in 2008, is the story of troubled and misbehaved pupils in their Early teens making part of one classroom in a special school in Paris.
It's a microcosm of modern french society where sons and daughters of immigrants, mostly Arab and west Africans are tangled in an identity crisis filled with disdain towards french society and french people in general. The origins of this hatred and feeling of rebellion has to do a lot with the fact that most of these kids have grown up in what is called 'Cites' in France which are a reminiscent of modern day council estates in the UK or projects in the US, with once crucial difference - they are located far away from city centres and thus are some sort of Ghettos in the middle of nowhere where the younger generation feels excluded and without much of a future to become an equal part of the white indigenous french society which leaves those kids very angry and frustrated.
It's a gripping doco-drama with children actors who play themselves and come across as handfuls to those trying to educated them and teach them the subjects taught in french schools.
'The Wrestler' - OK so what is all the fuss about Mickey Rourke not winning best actor academy award for his part? Great film none the less but still lacking some important parts in the plot. It's a great come back for Rourke but still, better films and better performances were shown this year.
