Look, Up in the Sky! (DVD)

Look, Up in the Sky!: The Amazing Story of Superman (2006), directed by Kevin Burns. Only a kid (like me) who grew up in the '50s, during Superman's heyday, could appreciate the rich history of the Man of Steel as told in this documentary. We see him all the way from his creation in the '30s through several decades, including his emergence in the movies (played by Christopher Reeve) in the '70s, and later struggles by DC Comics to keep Superman relevant in changing times. It really is amazing to see how many incarnations the superhero has had -- and to anticipate what might be coming from him next. (The disc does not include subtitles in English, but it is saved by closed captions.) Grade: A
