DVD Savant: Doubt, A Grin Without a Cat, and Starlight
This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews including: Doubt [Blu-ray] - John Patrick Shanley's play becomes a gripping movie experience, with performances by Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman Amy Adams and Viola Davis that all earned Academy nominations. A very good, very underrated picture.; A Grin Without a Cat - Chris Marker's milestone documentary on the brief flowering of The New Left uses fantastic film resources, candid news clips that prove historical facts still in dispute by those in power who, to quote the film, "would prefer that we have no memory"; and Starlift - This awkward attempt to revive the "Hollywood Canteen"- type all-star revue for the troops of the Korean War is mostly a fizzle, despite good input from the likes of Doris Day, Ruth Roman and Gene Nelson. With a great early appearance by Janice Rule. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
