DVD Savant: Thriller, THX 1138, and Al Capone
This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews and articles including: Thriller: The Complete Collection - Boris Karloff invites us into two entire seasons of TV's best-remembered horror anthology series. Over 50 hours of murder, macabre and the supernatural, featuring stars of the future and dozens of name TV actors, written by the likes of Robert Bloch and with many original scores by Jerry Goldsmith; THX 1138: The George Lucas Director's Cut - George Lucas's revision of his 1971 sci-fi classic trowels on fancy CGI augmentation, burying the original fim's austere tone. Robert Duvall, Maggie McOmie and Donald Pleasance look for happiness in an oppressive future techno-dictatorship. A lesson in how to screw around with film history.; and Al Capone - Rod Steiger chews scenery in a good cause -- Richard Wilson's gangster saga is one of the best of its time. With a sterling cast of tough guy actors and Fay Spain as the woman betrayed. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
