1. Harbord House (north side of Harbord, just east of Brunswick, west of Spadina) is a new pub and quite good. The menu is also quite tasty. No pseudo English/Irish/whatever motif, just a nice place with friendly staff and two small patios overlooking Harbord. I also recommend the sticky pudding.

2. The Protector staring Tony Jaa... holy crap, what an awesome low (normal?) budget martial arts movie. It's a Muay Thai for the most part but there's some other interesting stuff mixed in there as well. He seems to be picking up the torch from Jackie Chan as far as "ridiculous fight choreography" but seeing it done w/ something like Thai kickboxing definitely gives it a cool look.
