DVD Savant: Men Who Stare at Goats, An Education, and Howards End
This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews and articles including: Men Who Stare at Goats - George Clooney, Jeff Bridges, Ewan McGregor and Kevin Spacey have the time of their lives in this comedy romp based on a non-fiction book about The New Earth Army, a bizarre Army research program that investigated (participants claim they performed) superhuman feats of mental will. Very funny, brilliantly done, the movie never comes to any conclusions about its subject; An Education - Run, don't walk to see Lone Scherfig's delightful and surprising tale of a London schoolgirl swept off her feet by a Prince Charming who can offer her culture, high living and enlightened surroundings. Great storytelling, great actors: Carey Mulligan, Peter Saarsgard. One of the two or three most entertaining pictures of 2009. Don't let anybody tell you what happens -- don't even watch the trailer; and Howards End - Criterion makes its superb disc of the Merchant Ivory modern classic available in both Blu-ray and now DVD. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
