Stars:Plot:
Bruno Hamel is a 38-year-old surgeon who lives in Drummondville with his wife, Sylvie, and their eight-year-old daughter Jasmine. Like many happy people, Bruno leads an uneventful life until a beautiful fall afternoon, when his daughter is raped and murdered. Fron then on, the world of the Hamel familly collapses. When the alleged murderer is arrested, a terrible plan forms in Bruno's darkened mind: he plans to capture the "monster" and make him pay for his crime.

Once again a french canadian's movie who doesn't disappoint me and succeed to make the viewer think while he watch. The premise isn't complicated since it's a case of taking the justice in our own hand (something understandable when we consider that our criminal justice is a joke). Contrary to what we would think the movie isn't brutal (what I mean is not over the top violent like an american film would have been) and rest more on the shoulders of the two principal actors than on the special effects (who are well done by the way, you feel that what you see on the screen is true). Claude Legault that we know more for his works on television give the performance of his career (I think he is one of our actors we don't see enough compare to others way less talented) and he is the film. One think I've really appreciated is the fact that no music is use at all in the film and we don't need that at all to feel the emotions.

As usual it's a french canadian film that didn't get the success it deserve (unless for the stupid comedy none of our films make their money, wich is sad), but must be watch to understand why our cinema is so special. One moment in the film was so powerfull to me that I was unable to not cry (something that happen very rarely with me when I watch a movie). I really recommand this one that is probably hard to find except here, but you can find it at Amazon.ca

I never heard of this film till I found a copy cheap at the pawn shop. I decided to get it on the strong cast it has. And I must say... I am happy I did. I had a lot of laughs watching this one. And there is even a few tear jerker moments in it. The entire cast did a wonderful job. They really made you care about the characters. The film tackles the trials and tribulations of being parents in a fun way. If you have not seen this one... I definitely recommend it. Well worth the time put in to watch it.

The One Where It All Began: The Pilot Marathon, a review by DJ Doena

Star Trek



What's the show about?
Captain Kirk and his crew aboard the starhip Enterprise explore the unknown parts of the galaxy and have dealings with the strangest aliens such as the Klingons or Trelane.

"Where No Man Has Gone Before"
During the try of breaking through the galactic border the ships gets heavily damaged and several crewmembers get killed. But one man - Gary Mitchell, an old friend of Kirk's - was somehow altered. The question remains if whether he is now a threat to the ships security.

My Opinion
Kirk was simply a cool guy and the only man known that grows more hairs over the years instead of less. "Star Trek" is a cult classic and most of the episodes are still watchable. But I liked the movies more than the series.
