DVD Savant: The Intruder, The Films of Kenneth Anger and Treasures III
The Intruder This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews including: Treasures III: Social Issues in American Film 1900-1934 - The National Film Preservation Foundation's four disc boxed set has dozens of short subjects and four rare features by the likes of Cecil B. De Mille, William Desmond Taylor, King Vidor, Mary Pickford; Anne of the Thousand Days / Mary, Queen of Scots - A bargain double bill from Universal, with both of Hal Wallis' Charles Jarrott-directed historical epics; A Few Days in September - A spy thriller with a great cast (Juliette Binoche, John Turturro) but a limp script and a trite, tasteless angle on 9/11; The Films of Kenneth Anger Vol. 2 - The second half of Fantoma's beautifully restored set of Kenneth Anger classics contains full versions of Scorpio Rising, Kustom Kar Kommandos, Invocation of My Demon Brother and Lucifer Rising; The Intruder - Roger Corman's socially conscious look at bigotry and race-baiting is easily the best film of its kind, and gives William Shatner his most interesting role; The Lost World (1925 + 1960) - See giant lizards with rubber frills chew each other up! Irwin Allen's kiddie matinee pastiche of the Arthur Conan Doyle classic abuses good reptiles and good actors (Claude Rains, Michael Rennie). Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
