This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews and articles including: The Stunt Man - Richard Rush's big cult hit makes for a great HD disc, thanks to a generous helping of interview featurettes and other extras; Solaris - The HD improvement is notable in Andrei Tarkovsky's philosophical alternative to 2001 - freaky, slow-paced and with a conclusion weird beyond words; and Marlowe - James Garner tries his luck with a late-'60s L.A. - Bay Cities - Sunset Strip update of the Chandler classic The Little Sister. Good direction, nicely turned dialogue and great performances from Gayle Hunnicutt, Sharon Farrell, Carroll O'Connor and especially Rita Moreno, who is one hot package. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
