Title needed and Movie Review: One Week

[hells_half_acre]

I was going to post the half of my SPN/HP crossover that I have written, but then I realized that I don't have a title...any suggestions? Something witty, but not lame.

I saw One Week this evening. It's a Canadian movie about a dude (played by Joshua Jackson) whose reaction to being diagnosed with stage 4 cancer is to take off for a week or so to drive from Toronto to Vancouver Island. It's a road-trip movie Canadian-style (ie: with the depressing premise, because Canadian movies like to be depressing). That being said, it's a great film. It's not actually about death or cancer or anything depressing, it's about the way we live our lives.

It's also like a little love-letter to Canada. Even though he doesn't go east, he meets some Newfoundlanders in Parry Sound which totally make up for it. It was a really good movie. Like I said, it's not really about death, it's about how we Canadians live in a beautiful country, and we can all get a little lost sometimes in it.

Anyway, the movie, along with a long discussion with my the friend that I saw it with, all lead me to think that moving to Vancouver really is the right thing for me to do. I just don't fit into this gov't town very well. My friend herself is moving to Winnipeg in the fall for the same reason.

So, now I just have to figure out how to get a job in Vancouver.

Without knowing what the fic's about, I can't really suggest a title. Plus, I have the damnedest time coming up with titles myself. I say put your ipod on and see what comes up! That's usually what I do, take from song titles or lyrics.

I'm not much of a fan of Joshua Jackson. I've also never actually been to Canada, hehe! Sounds like an interesting film though!

Yay, congratulations on your decision to move! *is excited for you*

So far the fic's about the Winchesters running into some dementors and being saved by Harry and then spending a couple of days together...it's a pretty pointless fic and something I only work on when I'm too tired to do anything else, but it's up to 6 chapters already, so I figured I might as well post it.

Maybe I'll just call it Dastardly Demented Demons or something equally as juvenile.

I never liked Dawson's Creek, and I think that's the only thing I've ever seen Joshua Jackson in, besides that one episode of Fringe that I watched...so I really don't have any opinion of him one way or the other. You don't have to know stuff about Canada to enjoy the film, I don't think...it just means you won't recognize the landmarks or the Canadian-celebrity cameos. That being said, I highly doubt this movie will air anywhere other than Canada, so it's not like you'll get an opportunity to see it any time soon, anyway.

Yay for me too! Now comes the hard part of figuring out how the heck to pull off this crazy feat and not tank financially.
