Bump! (2004)
Vacation Dreams!
Really love watching Bump! It always inspires me to save my pennies and plan my next trip. Light hearted and funny series. Having been a fan of the show for a few years I've been able to travel with Charlie and Shannon through Africa, Australia, Asia, S. America, N. America and Europe without ever leaving my couch. Some episodes are better than others but then again some cities and destinations are just better than others too. At any rate the hosts are never scared to try anything or have fun for a laugh. Charlie seems really comfortable with wildlife so I only wish they would have him interact more. Obviously he's good at hanging with the 'wildlife' in the nightclubs but come on - this guy could be on Nat Geo hosting a show!!
2 Frogs in the West (2010)
Wow!
Great film by first time director Dany Papineau!! A cross country odyssey and journey of the heart. The ski and snowboard sequences are breathtaking making anyone who has ever dreamt of Going West clamour to throw their skis or snowboard on the roof of the car and start driving! A real achievement and coming of age story that will pull at your heart strings and inspire the adventurer within you.
Mirian Brulé and Dany Papineau bring a realistic and accessible humanity to the story. Their charisma and chemistry on screen are engaging, believable and innocent. There are films that have aimed to capture the essence of Canada in the past but 2 Frogs succeeds in capturing the true imagination, bilingual tapestry and unforgettable landscapes that make this country so special.
