Product Description
Here he is! It's SupermanTM -- in an amazing, thrill-packed story of the legendary hero through the years: from comic books to cartoons to TV to movies, including awesome see-it-first, see-it-now footage of 2006's Superman Returns. Discover the Man of Steel story that's never been told with the action and excitement you expect from the mightiest of all heroes.Amazon.com
Executive-produced by Superman Returns director Bryan Singer and narrated by star Kevin Spacey, Look, Up in the Sky: The Amazing Story of Superman is an exhaustive, nearly two-hour documentary covering over 60 years of the Man of Steel. It begins with the early work of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster leading to the 1938 Action Comics debut of Superman, then continues through the Max Fleischer cartoons, the Columbia serials, to the 1950s Adventures of Superman series and the tragic suicide of its star, George Reeves. Then it's on to the 1966 Broadway musical, the 1970s feature films (including screen tests of Stockard Channing and Lesley Anne Warren), the paralysis and death of star Christopher Reeve, the subsequent TV series Lois & Clark and Smallville, and the 2006 feature Superman Returns. The documentary also discusses Superman's transformations during World War II, the atomic age, and the 1960s; events in the comic books such as John Byrne's reboot and The Death of Superman; and obscurities such as a pilot for The Adventures of Superpup and the TV-musical version of It's a Bird It's a Plane It's Superman. Interview subjects range from two-production stars such as Noel Neill and Jack Larson (who were in both Adventures of Superman and Superman Returns), and Annette O'Toole (Superman III and Smallville) to producer Ilya Salkind, director Richard Donner, Margot Kidder, Stan Lee, Dean Cain, and Brandon Routh. The animated series deserves more coverage, and some interviewees are conspicuously absent--no surprise Lois & Clark's Teri Hatcher couldn't find the time, but what about Smallville's Tom Welling?--but overall it's an impressive and engaging examination of the DC Comics icon. --David Horiuchi

For its seventh edition, The Amazing Race welcomed two familiar faces. Reality TV vets Rob and Amber were one of eleven teams competing for the million-dollar prize. The other contestants covered the spectrum, like boyfriends Lynn and Alex, brothers Brian and Greg, married couple Uchenna and Joyce, and mother/son duo Susan and Patrick. The latter decides he'll do whatever it takes to beat Boston Rob. As he notes in the season premiere, "I watched Survivor. He's as dumb as a rock." The show's top-rated installment spanned five continents and 40,000 miles, from Long Beach, CA to Fort Lauderdale, FL. Other pit stops include Buenos Aires, Istanbul, and London. Some of the more colorful challenges include llama herding in Peru and cave rappelling in South Africa, while the emotional high point is a trip to a Soweto orphanage, an experience that reduces Uchenna and Joyce to tears. There will also be sacrifices along the way, as when Gretchen, the second oldest contestant--after her 69-year-old husband, Meredith--has a frightening fall and Joyce says so long to her hair. The seventh season of The Amazing Race is broken into 12 episodes, including three two-part programs. This boxed set features a mini-documentary, chatty commentary from four of the highest-ranked teams, and over three hours of deleted material. After the race aired, Lynn and Alex and Rob and Amber--on network TV, naturally--tied the knot. It was also revealed that Joyce once had a recurring role on Star Trek: The Next Generation. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

The program also features "Lt. Ray" Thaler, USAF, who flies his F-15 fighter jet, the Navy's Blue Angels performing their hair-raising close-formation flying, "Pilot Bambi" Green showing a group of kids a commercial jet in a maintenance hangar, and "Flight Attendant Tonja" Releford sharing several safety tips aboard a grounded training plane. Finally, helicopters--and the Army-are also spotlighted, as retired "Major Lisa" Bailey demonstrates how a Huey chopper takes off and lands. Safety is discussed throughout every phase, while interviews with the ground crews emphasize the number of people caring for each of the units. A good introduction to a wide variety of flying machines that also serves as a solid primer on airline safety, this is recommended. - Video LibrarianALSO, DON'T MISS HERE AT AMAZON.COM ALL FIVE VIDEOS IN THE FIREFIGHTER GEORGE SERIES: "FIREFIGHTER GEORGE AND SUPER STEAM TRAINS", "FIREFIGHTER GEORGE AND FIRE ENGINES-VOLUME 1", "FIREFIGHTER GEORGE AND FIRE ENGINES-VOLUME 2", AND "FIREFIGHTER GEORGE AND TODAY'S MIGHTY TRAINS!"

Charade (1963, Color, 113 min.), Stanley Donen's stylish romantic-comedy-thriller starring Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn, was filmed in Paris with an outstanding supporting cast and features an Academy Award-nominated score by Henry Mancini. In the fast-paced romantic comedy Amazing Adventure (1936, B&W, 63 min.), a young millionaire playboy (Cary Grant) bets that he can become a successful business tycoon without using his inheritance. When he falls in love with a pretty secretary (Mary Brian), will he lose the bet to win the girl?
