DVD Savant: War of The Worlds, Titanic and Le Samourai
This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews including: The War of the Worlds - Spielberg's remake has inspired a Special Collector's Edition reissue of the classic 1953 George Pal version of H.G. Wells' timeless tale of war from space; Titanic - Another improved Special Collector's Edition spreads Jim Cameron's spectacle across two discs for better quality and smothers it in a flurry of terrific extras; Lifeboat - Alfred Hitchcock makes art from a wartime drama confined to one small rowboat and its nine desperate survivors; Le Samourai - Alain Delon is the original imperturbable hit man in Jean-Pierre Melville's Zen gangster epic about a killer with a draconian code of conduct; Batman - The Complete 1943 Movie Serial Collection - The jaw-dropping original that combines inept stuntwork, incongruously grinning heroes, outrageous anti-Japanese wartime propaganda AND the camp reputation of implying lots of hanky panky between Batman and his ward, the Boy Wonder; Night of the Lepus - "They're hoppin', they're scritch-scratchin' and they're a-wigglin' those cute noses ... and then they dismember you with those 9-inch incisors they're packin'. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
