The strange thing about The Frontier Experience is how it’s really bad with exposition for an educational film. Watching it, you can imagine an accompanying quiz and if the filmmakers do acknowledge the potential test question instead of just ignoring it, they treat the plot point or detail like a   read more

Kristina from Speakeasy and Ruth from Silver Screening are actually hosting, from Feb 1st to Feb 5, 2016, the O Canada Blogathon.
