Nicely written, directed and acted, the movie Le Chef conjures up visions of such films as Ratatouille and the creative Julie & Julia. The very quick witted movie takes food preparation to another level. While other films have tried and failed, this little indie had me glued to the screen with every scene. If you enjoy films that create a number of situations that culminate in a wacky finale, then this cute production is perfect for your dinner and a movie night.
LOST IN TIME AND SPACE: An Unofficial Guide to the Uncharted Journeys of DOCTOR WHO – Hasslein Books (Book Review)

A couple of years ago I came across the series of Hasslein Books and my life hasn’t been the same since. If you want to dive deeper and in more detail than just the surface of what you’ve seen of your favorite films or TV show, then you’ve got to check out the library of titles offered over at www.HassleinBooks.com. My personal favorites are the Back to the Future and Planet of the Apes Chronology Timelines and Lexicon series. Now, the bar has been raised and the latest addition to the Hasslein family does not disappoint either. LOST IN TIME AND SPACE: An Unofficial Guide to the Uncharted Journeys of Doctor Who is out now and available for order via Amazon.com and other online book retailers.
This 350 page book chronicles the Doctor’s on and off screen time- traveling adventures that fans have been following for over 50 years, via the show’s 800 televised episodes (so far). Lost in Time and Space explores the various references, mentions, props, characters and essentially stories-between-the-stories we love. It gives you a sense that much more took place in the Who’niverse with the Doctor, while we weren’t looking! Beautifully designed, the book features an insightful foreword by Alan Barnes, the author of the animated Tenth Doctor adventure The Infinite Quest, and a writer and editor for Big Finish Productions’ audio dramas featuring five of the Doctor’s earlier incarnations.

THE KARATE KID Apartment Filming Location – Revisited
June 23rd, 2014 Kevin Stern 
June 22nd marked the 30th Anniversary of the release of the original Karate Kid, and if you were a kid growing up in the 80’s, there’s little doubt this film probably left an indelible mark on your childhood. The film was a gigantic hit and not only resonated with audiences in theaters but also found much life on VHS tapes that were played at countless birthday parties, sleepovers, school classrooms and generally just hanging out with friends. If you’ve ever attempted the Crane Kick, count yourself a fan of the original Karate Kid.
Last year, Beyond the Marquee’s own, LOCATION, LOCATION, Location?, made a visit to one of the most memorable locations of the film and in honor of the film’s 30th Anniversary, we thought we’d take a look at it again. Since our first visit, not much has changed and it’s still one of those rare filming locations you can see in person and easily be transported back in time to experience what it was like in the movie. So, without further ado, put on your tenugui (headband), pull out your chopsticks, open up a can of wax (or paint), click on Read More and take a trip back to 1984.
