This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews and articles including: Dances With Wolves - Kevin Costner's big Oscar winner is 25% more grandiose in its 20th Anniversary Extended Cut, and a beautiful sight in widescreen Blu-ray; The Naked Kiss - Sam Fuller's most extreme melodrama sees a reformed prostitute getting involved with crippled children, police corruption and a civic leader with a disturbing secret; and Pleasantville - Gary Ross' delightful fantasy transports Tobey Maguire and Reese Witherspoon into the reality of a B&W '50s situation comedy family show, where everything is "G" rated and the innocent citizens have no knowledge of sex, the outside world, or Color. But a little bit of knowledge leads to a cultural revolution in this strange Garden of Eden. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.

Another banner week for DVDs with the studios releasing some great films and boxed sets such as: Secretariat [Blu-ray review] - this story of an underdog racehorse that becomes the sport's greatest champion is a crowd-pleaser; Red [Blu-ray review] - a blazing actioner with a marvelous cast; and Open Season 3 [DVD review] - this sequel is perhaps the most enjoyable of the series. Other reviews of note include: The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest [Blu-ray review], Client-9: The Rise and Fall of Eliot Spitzer [Blu-ray review], and Dogtooth [DVD review].  Be sure to check out our DVD Talk Review Database for all the latest reviews including an entire section devoted to reviews of DVDs out this week.
