DVD Savant: Journey to the Far Side of the Sun and The Night They Raided Minsky's
This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews including: Journey to the Far Side of the Sun - We like it, it's a childhood favorite, but Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's far-out space picture is a bare concept that goes absolutely nowhere. Psychedelic space naps, actors without marionette strings, rockets, things blowin' up. Boom!; The Night They Raided Minsky's - This affectionate comedy-musical has great songs, funnymen, a sparkling cast and an interesting lesson to teach about the changes in popular taste -- lowbrow taste. Directed by William Friedkin, the film is an editorial battleground, one of the most famous films "created" in post-production; and Hitler: The Last Ten Days - Legend reaches into Paramount's vault again to present this respectable true story of the final week + of the Third Reich, holed up in a battered Berlin bunker. The big attraction is Alec Guinness' interpretation of Adolph Hitler -- he gets high marks for a difficult role. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
