Stuff we like & don’t like

We Like: a good cup of coffee on a fall morning

With the end of summer comes colder weather and earlier mornings, and nothing says coffee like an early morning. Not only does fall bring new school years and colourful leaves, it also brings the long-awaited return of the Pumpkin Spice Latte and many other beloved warm drinks which seem to have been forgotten in the summer heat.

From the not-so-dirty dancing to the reconfigured plot line, the remake was a total disaster. Sadly, this is only one of many other less-than-mediocre attempts at remaking classic films.
