Summary:
Originally broadcast in April and May of 1998. Hosted by executive producer Tom Hanks, the miniseries tackles the daunting challenge of chronicling the entire history of NASA's Apollo space program from 1961 to 1972. For the most part, it's a rousing success. Some passages are flatly chronological, awkwardly wedging an abundance of factual detail into a routine dramatic structure. But each episode is devoted to a crucial aspect of the Apollo program. The cumulative effect is a deep and thorough appreciation of NASA's monumental achievement. With the help of a superlative cast, consistent writing, and a stable of talented directors, Hanks has shared his infectious enthusiasm for space exploration and the inspiring power of conquering the final frontier. 12 épisodes, 12 heures.

I’m Here is your typical boy-robot-librarian-meets-girl-robot-free-spirit, boy-robot-librarian-gets-girl-robot-free-spirit… in truth, I’m Here, a whimsical and touching look at love among robots in contemporary L.A., isn’t typical of anything, and neither is this charming book, which provides spreads of color stills from the movie. I’m Here isn’t drawn or stop-motion animation; the movie is live action, with the actors wearing wonderfully awkward costumes concocted of obsolete computer parts.

Les parcs industriels sont de plus en plus présents au Québec, ce qui a un effet sur la géographie des lieux et les habitudes des gens. Les petits marchés sont délaissés au profit des grandes surfaces. Peu à peu, des commerces locaux ferment, entraînant avec eux l'âme des villages. Cette situation inquiète plusieurs personnes, dont l'artiste René Derouin et l'homme d'affaires Jacques Dufresne. Surtout qu'elle contribue à hausser les impôts fonciers de propriétaires qui sont souvent à la retraite. Devant cette tendance, des groupes de citoyens s'organisent. Et si la culture revenait au centre des enjeux?
