Let me start by saying this is a must-see documentary. This is definitely up there in my list of top documentaries. I won’t give too much of a review about this as it’s 1:30 in the morning and the trailer below can do most of that for me. What I will say is that this [...]

Bound to bring even the most hardened of people close to tears, Sharkwater is an international award-winning documentary by Rob Steward that looks into the world of sharks—uncovering not only the myths about these amazing creatures as blood-thirsty killers, but also the billion-dollar finning industry that is wiping them from our planet.
“For filmmaker Rob Stewart, [...]

Here is a short book review I wrote for my program’s newsletter at school…

Just under three months ago, one of my Friday Footprint posts was about a company called Eco-Libris. You can read more about them in the previous post, but basically they are a company that offers to help you offset your book purchases by planting trees in developing countries.

I came across a world-wide movement called PostSecret tonight. It is a community art project that started in 2004 by Frank Warren. He started distributing postcards in public places which asked people to write down their deepest secrets and send the postcard back in the mail. The result was thousands of letters being sent in [...]

Today YouTube announced the release of a Canadian version of its famous online video-hosting site. Located at YouTube.ca, the site looks exactly the same (other than a small Canadian flag in the top right corner) as the original. The difference is that the “Featured Videos” and “Promoted Videos” found on the main page will be [...]

I was driving home one night last year and on the radio were television show reviewers listing the hottest upcoming shows for that year. One particular show caught my attention, a show about a serial killer, a show called… Dexter.

About a month ago I finished Ishmael Beah’s A Long Way Gone: memoirs of a boy soldier. The delay in my writing of this review is by no means an indication of my feelings towards this book. In fact, this is one of the best books I’ve read in a while.
When one hears the term [...]

Here it is, my first post on the new Dell Inspiron 1520. Since it’s my first post on this new machine, I might as well use it to do a mini review. I say mini because I really didn’t have the time to take a bunch of pictures of the unboxing and there are so [...]

Last night I watched Michael Moore’s new documentary SiCKO. Let me tell you, it was fantastic! Moore’s witty humour and eye-opening style is at its finest in this movie. As “the only country in the Western World without free universal health care,” the US is a health disaster, leaving its citizens to foot the bill [...]

“I have spent the last four years watching people die.” –Stephen Lewis
It is a little late for a book review on Stephen Lewis’ Race Against Time, however, I feel that those who have not read the book should really make an attempt to do so. Based on Lewis’ Massey Lectures in 2005, Race Against Time [...]
