This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews and articles including: Badlands - Terrence Malick's first feature proved that a commercial filmmaker could also make genuine cinema art -- it's a sensational 'true' crime story in an utterly original style. Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek play Kit and Holly, disaffected young people who take off on a whirlwind murder spree as pointless as it is savage; The Soul of a Monster - George Macready is a satanic zombie in this odd Val Lewton-wannabe from Columbia. The legendary Rose Hobart is the mystery woman who plucks him from death's door, but leaves him with no pulse and apparently no blood in his veins; and China Gate - Sam Fuller's mercenaries, with Angie Dickinson as 'Lucky Legs', help the French field a commando raid on a Commie ammo dump on the Viet/Chinese border. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.

It's a bit of a slow week for new home video releases, but there are still some discs you might want to take note of including: Hyde Park on Hudson [review] - Bill Murray is a charming, wily Franklin D. Roosevelt in this film which presents dueling stories of a royal visit to FDR's estate and the domestic drama caused by the president's mistresses; Into The Cold [review] - a visually stunning documentary... anyone who appreciates this type of video diary experience will enjoy the ride; and Woochi: The Demon Slayer! [review] - fantasy, humor, and an excuse to get Taoist wizards to fight shape-shifting rat demons... what more could you want?
