New DVD Reviews: Classic Musicals from the Dream Factory Vol. 3, The Savages, and Ice Age - Meltdown

Some great new entries in the
DVD
Talk Review Database this week. In case you missed them, but sure to check out these recent DVD reviews:
Classic Musicals from the Dream Factory, Vol. 3 - this lavish boxed set will give you a doctoral-level thesis on what made film musicals the reigning genre of the 30s and 40s;
The Savages - with amazing performances from Laura Linney and Philip Seymour Hoffman and directed with perfection by Tamara Jenkins, this rare, realistic blending of drama and comedy is a revelation; and
Ice Age - The Meltdown
- much better than the first, this sequel adds to the original's formula with some well executed slapstick comedy and mild thematic tension.; Other recent reviews include:
War Dance,
Antibodies, and
Beethoven: Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125. Visit the
