Život v Cizine (was La Vie Expatriée)
I'm finally satisfying a long-held dream of living abroad.
Having started in France, I've now moved on to the Czech Republic.

Out to the movies
I went to the movies this evening for the first time in Paris (and my first time in several weeks!), and saw The Holiday. It was entirely predictable, but mostly charming, although I really wanted to slap Cameron Diaz' Amanda around a few times.
American movies are very popular in Paris, and most movies can count on a Parisian release. Unfortunately, the release dates are different. While usually this means that they're later, so I now have another chance to catch Hollywoodland, sometimes it means that they're earlier. In particular, it looks as though I've missed Children of Men: it opened in France in November, and right now, it doesn't appear to be playing anywhere closer than Marseilles.
The movie listings for American, or other foreign language films, include a notation "VO" (version originale) or "VF" (version Française) to indicate whether it's subtitled (VO) or dubbed (VF). Sometimes the same theater will offer both versions.
