DVD Savant: Charlie Chaplin Collection, Under Capricorn and more
This week the DVD Savant takes a look three of the discs from the Charlie Chaplin Collection: The Gold Rush - a deluxe presentation of his biggest silent hit and personal favorite - presented in Charlie's preferred 1942 recut, and the 1925 original, Modern Times which finds the Little Tramp dodging riots, strikes, brutal cops, and mechanized industry run amuck, The Great Dictator with some new info comparing it to the old Image series ... think PAL to NTSC time compression. Also, from Image comes Under Capricorn a happy surprise: an infrequently-seen Hitchcock picture with a very good transfer and Home Vision Entertainment's Dangerous Moves a topnotch disc of a rewarding thriller centered on a chess match between two Soviets. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.

While the film wasn't a commercial success it does make for an extremely enjoyable DVD (see our review). We had an opportunity to talk to Paul about his experience making The Real Cancun Find out what really happened between him and Sky, what it was really like making the film and what you won't see in the movie or the DVD. Read our complete interview: The 'Real' - Real Cancun.
