DVD Savant: Cross of Iron, Love Me Tender and Space Amoeba
This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews including: Cross of Iron -
Sam Peckinpah's last really commendable film is a heady combination of furious action and stilted theatrics; Love Me Tender -
Significant as history and nostalgia, Elvis' first film; Claire Dolan -
this heavy duty tale of the life of an involuntary call girl is an emotional trial to watch; Werckmeister Harmonies -
Bela Tarr's symbolist tale of political upheaval is another art film narrative enamored of long takes and slow-burn meaningful staredowns; Watch The Skies 3-Pack - Wade Williams repackages three previous Sci Fi releases in one bargain package; Prix de beaute - The luminescent Louise Brooks glows in this okay drama, notable for vintage filming on Paris streets; Space Amoeba -
A blue mist from space hitches a ride on a Jupiter probe, and tries to conquer Earth by turning ordinary critters into giant monsters. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
