This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews and articles including: Carla's Song -Ken Loach extends his social realist concern internationally when a Glasgow bus driver (Robert Carlyle) falls in love with a street dancer (Oyanka Cabezas) and follows her halfway across the globe to Nicaragua -- and into the middle of Reagan's Contra War; 1776 - Peter Hunt's cheerful Broadway musical adaptation is basic U.S. history that makes the bewigged18th century John Adams, Ben Franklin and Tom Jefferson amusing and clever, and the jokes aren't so corny as to cheapen things; and The First Deadly Sin - Frank Sinatra's final feature film is a surprisingly sensitive, humanistic and low-key drama -- with its main plot centered on a vicious serial killer. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
