DVD Savant: The Day the Earth Stood Still, The RAF, and Bill Douglas
The Day the Earth Stood Still This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews including: The Day the Earth Stood Still - Fox ties in its remake with a stunning Blu-ray edition of the 1951 original. It's more powerful than ever in HD, with a particularly strong Bernard Herrmann soundtrack.; The Royal Air Force At War - Featuring 24 Unseen Films 1940-1944, ranging from training pictures to fascinating public service movies to convince civilians not to disturb crashed aircraft. Just the kind of thing Savant dotes on -- not because I'm addicted to war-related docus, but because it's fun to figure out exactly why each short was made and whether it serves its purpose. Very British, very detailed and a virtual time machine; and The Bill Douglas Trilogy - The Scottish director's trilogy is comprised of three autobiographical features made in the 1970s, My Childhood, My Ain Folk and My Way Home. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
