A Nice Slice Of Canadiana

Vicki and I just finished watching Joshua Jackson in One Week (my first viewing of it, her second), a little Canadian film that came out last year. It's the sort of movie that will probably bore some people because it doesn't proceed like a typical Hollywood offering that delivers predictable punchlines or moves relentlessly through an action-filled plot line. For us, though, it's an example of the character-driven sort of work that John Sayles and Atom Egoyan are so known for (this one's written and directed by Michael McGowan), although admittedly not quite at that level.

We both enjoyed it, with Vicki saying that it was just as good the second time around. And how can you not like any movie that features a scene involving the Stanley Cup?
