This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews and articles including: Flash Gordon - With its gaudy designs and eye-popping color, Dino de Laurentiis's 1980 comic book space opera is a visual delight in Blu-ray; Stop-Motion Marvels! - An extensive collection of vintage stop-motion shorts, including a number of rare films from the Kinex Collection. The professional-grade presentation comes with an informative color pamphlet and sevaral commentaries, including one by animator Jim Danforth; and Special Bulletin - Suspenseful and realistic, this 1983 simulated-reality account of a nuclear extortion incident in Charleston harbor makes some strong points about government policy and the news media. Rogue scientists threaten to detonate a homemade bomb, and demand that their anti-nuke manifesto be televised. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
