We can all agree that the movie version of “The Hitch-Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” failed, right? I mean, it was terrible. It wasted the talents of some very good actors like Martin Freeman and Sam Rockwell (I am literally traumatized to the point where I can’t watch “Moon”, because I can’t believe that the […]

Since I have graduated from law school and am now working at Wise Law Office, it’s incumbent upon me to mention that Ontario-area readers in need of legal counsel – particularly those in the southern half of Ontario – should consider us, as we are A) quite good and B) quite reasonably priced, and make […]
