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. Coming in as a recommendation for Chaplin’s City Lights, this film definitely entertains. Taking home Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Actor (Jean Dujardin), Best Director, Best…

A Star is Born (1937) – William A. Wellman & Jack Conway
The next film on the What Else To Watch list as I delve into the fascinating The Movie Book from DK Books is the very enjoyable, A Star is Born. While this one has been remade a few times, I had never seen any incarnation of it, so I was definitely pleased to start with…
Star Trek: 1974 to 1987 – The Wait
I boldly waited for more Star Trek. Having discovered the series in the early 70s as a child, it became a large part of my life. I loved my weekly forays with the Enterprise. Every week they were there. Sometimes more than once a week. But then there were no new episodes. I needed more…
The LEGO Batman Movie: The Making of the Movie (2017) – Tracey Miller-Zarneke
As evidenced by my review this past Saturday, I loved The LEGO Batman Movie, it was so much fun to watch, and revel in. It was funny, family friendly, and told a brand new Batman story. So I was delighted when DK Canada sent me their latest, The Making of the Movie. Much like the…
20 Years of Tomb Raider (2016) – Meagan Marie
Lara Croft has been around for twenty years. And, I have to say, she looks better than ever. Since her first appearance in the game-changing, well, game, Tomb Raider in 1996, Lara Croft has made a name for herself in the action adventure series that centred around, an admittedly cartoon-like interpretation of a beautiful woman,…
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (2005) -Garth Jennings
Grab your towel and Don’t Panic! Douglas Adam’s classic tale gets a big screen adaptation, of his book/screenplay, which had previously been so well used by the BBC as a miniseries, and before that a radio programme. There are things that work in this version, and things that don’t, but the effort is there to…
Marvel: Absolutely Everything You Need To Know (2016) – Adam Bray, Lorraine Cink, John Sazaklis, and Sven Wilson
DK Canada brings the “Zowie!” and the “Pow!” this week with Marvel: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know! Filled with colorful eye-popping images and facts, this book seems uniquely tailored for the comic universe. As much as I enjoyed the Star Wars edition, this one is right at home with the busy, fact-filled pages that…
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie (1995) – Bryan Spicer
I never quite got into the Power Rangers, nor understood the appeal, but they are my next stop in the Sci-Fi Chronicles book. I never really saw much of the television show, and anything I did see, seemed fairly low-end, but the film tries to embrace a big budget theatrical look with a Point Break…
Star Trek: Generations (1994) – David Carson
As the blog has no doubt demonstrated, I’m a bit of a Trek fan, and while I have loved, to varying degrees, each iteration of the format, even I can admit when one of them isn’t quite up to snuff. But that won’t stop me from watching it again for the Sci-Fi Chronicles book….
