New DVD Reviews: Bambi II, Elizabethtown and MirrorMask
Now with over 14,600 DVD reviews in the DVD Talk Review Database, it's easy to overlook some of the great reviews. Recent DVD Reviews include: Bambi II - a direct to DVD sequel's whose heart is in the right place; Elizabethtown - too uneven to stand among Crowe's better work, but it's too smart and heartfelt to dismiss entirely; Lord of War: 2 Disc SE - a film that has the power to hook you in and surprise you with a powerful theme and the punch to deliver it effectively; MirrorMask - a moderate success thanks to the strength of its strong art direction and interesting visuals; Red Eye - compelling lead performances by Rachel McAdams and Cillian Murphy's are enough reason to take this trip; SPL: Sha Po Lang - a damn fine film with plenty of action, great fight choreography, some excellent performances and style to spare. Visit the DVD Talk Review Database for all the latest reviews including an entire section devoted to reviews of DVDs out this week.

DVD Savant: Cabin in The Sky, Stormy Weather and An Unmarried Woman
This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews including: Cabin in the Sky - the most heartwarming as well as the funniest of the all-black musicals is a film blanc battle royale between Heaven's angels and Lucifer's "Idea Men" of the infernal Hotel Hades; Stormy Weather - Bill Robinson romances Lena Horne to the swing beat of Cab Calloway. The performance numbers easily top Anglo musicals of the time, creating a hep, all-tap, all-swing tuneful fantasy; An Unmarried Woman - Paul Mazursky's insightful look at a wife set free by a sudden marital separation plays even better now than it did in 1978; Boys Town - Savant shows no mercy on this worst of the MGM 'family fare' sentimental hogwash genre. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
