DVD Savant: The International, Alain Resnais,and The Diary of Anne Frank
The International This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews including: The International - Clive Owen and Naomi Watts battle a nefarious bank from New York to Istanbul in this wordy but intense thriller. With a terrific shootout in, of all places, New York's Guggenheim Museum; Alain Resnais: a Decade in Film - Kino presents excellent renditions of four of Alain Resnais' 1980s films: Life is a Bed of Roses, Love Unto Death, Mélo, I Want to Go Home. They're a strange bunch -- transcendental spiritualism, romantic morbidity, a filmic essay on the melodrama and a stab at a screwball comedy; and Diary of Anne Frank - George Stevens somber study of Anne Frank's period of hiding in an attic molds a tragedy into a story with positive uplift. With Millie Perkins, Shelley Winters, Diane Baker, Joseph Schildkraut. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.

New Movie Reviews: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, My Sister's Keeper, and The Hurt Locker
Optimus Prime has returned, and he's brought along Michael Bay and a barrel of laughs in the woefully misguided event movie sequel Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. It's cancer and sniffles with Cameron Diaz in the relentless tearjerker My Sister's Keeper. And director Kathryn Bigelow reworks the Iraq War film to a thrilling degree in the actioner The Hurt Locker. Also in theaters: Middle Eastern law is put the test in the drama The Stoning of Soraya M. Michelle Pfeiffer straps on a corset and makes a play for youth in the costume drama Cheri. Francis Ford Coppola returns with Tetro. And Jennifer Lynch assumes the family legacy of weirdness with the investigative chiller Surveillance. Be sure to catch reviews of other recent Theatrical Films: The Proposal, Year One, The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3, The Hangover, Moon, Land of the Lost, Away We Go, Up, Terminator Salvation, All the Boys Love Mandy Lane, Star Trek, Angels & Demons, and Dead Snow. As always, we invite you to share your thoughts on films In Theaters in our Movie Talk Forum.
