DVD Savant: Sam Peckinpah, Bill Murray 3 Pack and Island in The Sun
This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews including: Sam Peckinpah's The Legendary Westerns Collection - Warner DVD gives us about all the western thrills we can handle with sterling transfers of Ride the High Country, The Wild Bunch (2 discs), The Ballad of Cable Hogue and Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid (2 discs, two versions); The Magnificent Seven Collector's Edition 2 Disc Set - MGM puts a cleaner, brighter transfer of everyone's favorite high-fashion gunslinger epic; Island in the Sun - An all-star cast backs up Dorothy Dandridge and Harry Belafonte in this well-meaning but gutless soap-opera about sex and race in the West Indies; Stripes Extended Cut, Ghostbusters & Groundhog Day 3-Pack - A bargain box combines three Bill Murray hits including the superlative Groundhog Day, one of the very best films of the 1990s and perhaps the best film blanc ever made; The Hoodlum - Lawrence Tierney dominates this not-so-good gangster tale, poorly written and sloppily directed; The Roger Corman Puerto Rico Trilogy - Corman's three runaway Filmgroup productions make a combo release from Retromedia;Grimm - Ultra-weird Dutch director Alex van Warmerdam tells an ultra-weird adult fairy tale about two abandoned 'children' who go on a sex and crime spree from Holland to Spain. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
