This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews and articles including: American Grindhouse - It's a wild docu excursion through eighty years of curious public entertainments too seedy or notorious for the mainstream movies -- sex, drugs, violence, sideshow freaks, and gore; The Battle of Algiers - Gillo Pontecorvo's revolutionary epic takes a gritty look at the Algerian war that involved guerilla resistance, torture, murder and lawlessness on both sides; and Hearts of the West - This comic tale follows young Lewis Tater, an aspiring "novelist of western fiction" who stumbles into the movie game in the early 1930s and almost becomes a cowboy hero of the silver screen. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.

This week, Entertainment One invites you to experience the explosive, ripped-from-the-headlines new film The Bang Bang Club (watch trailer) starring Ryan Phillippe, Malin Akerman and Taylor Kitsch. Based on the acclaimed memoir by Greg Marinovich and Joao Silva, The Bang Bang Club follows four fearless photographers, who used their camera lenses to reveal the brutality and violence associated with the first free elections in post-Apartheid South Africa. The film tells the remarkable true story of these young men - and the extraordinary extremes they went to in order to capture their pictures and expose the truth. Called "a harrowing exploration of heroism in the line of fire" (Red Reed, New York Observer), The Bang Bang Club arrives on DVD and Blu-ray packed with bonus features including an in-depth making-of featurette, audio commentary with director Steven Silver and more. Enter now for your chance to win one of 5 copies of The Bang Bang Club on DVD!
