With two young kids, we don’t often get to see movies in theatres these days. However, we took the time to alternate seeing the new Star Trek movie when it came out this week. You can read my impressions, in French, of the movie here. If french is not your thing, then the short version [...]

Who you gonna call?

This title will sound familiar to all who enjoyed the Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters 2 movies in the ’80s. I recently reviewed both movies for UnePorte.net.
