Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2011) – Ghosts of Mortis, The Citadel, and Counter Attack

This episode first aired on…
Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2011) – Witches of the Mist, Overlords, and Altar of Mortis
“The path to evil may bring great power, but not loyalty.” Katie Lucas continues with the Dathomir/Nightsisters arc that is proving to be so epic, and so essentially Star Wars in the episode Witches of the Mist, which first aired on 21 January, 2011. While Count Dooku (Corey Burton) works to train and use his…

Project Nim (2011) – James Marsh
The What Else to Watch list in DK Canada’s The Movie Book is proving fruitful with some fantastic documentaries, as they recommend a number of titles following my screening of Man On Wire.

Shadows of the Dark Crystal (2016) – J.M. Lee
I remember being delighted the first time I saw The Dark Crystal in 1982, I even had a movie calendar from Burger King (for 1983) that had one of its months dedicated to the Jim Henson creation. The world (I didn’t know at the time that it was called Thra) appealed to me, and despite…

Alien Vault: The Definitive Story Behind the Film (2011) – Ian Nathan
I remember the summer that Alien opened, 1979, two years after Star Wars rocked the world. The Force stayed with me all through my childhood, and through to this very day. But Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek, and a little magazine called Starlog, got me very interested in genre film and television. I wasn’t…

The Artist (2011) – Michel Hazanavicius
The multi-Oscar winning film, The Artist is the next film in the What Else to Watch list as I continue my journey through DK Canada’s The Movie Book.
