This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews including: El Cid Limited Collector's Edition - It's Big, Colossal, Stupendous -- and good, too. Charlton Heston cleaves half of Spain with his broadsword with his best girl by his side. Umpteen zillion extras and a quivering Sophia Loren crowd the 70mm frame.; Martin Scorsese Presents Val Lewton: The Man in The Shadows - Kent Jones' feature documentary on the famous RKO producer is one of the best film bios ever; El Bruto (The Brute) - Luis Buñuel examines the class struggle in Mexico city, discovering that it's all about greed, sex and predatory landlords. Pedro Armendáriz and Katy Jurado are the illicit lovers trapped in a deadly triangle; Automatons - Robot wars of the future, rendered in a clever but visually limited micro-production that received glowing reviews; and No Regrets for Our Youth & I Live in Fear - Two powerful films in Eclipse's Postwar Kurosawa collection trace Akira Kurosawa's take on Japan's recent history of militarism, and his mid-fifties approach to the nuclear arms issue.; Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
