This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews and articles including: 3:10 to Yuma - Delmer Daves' best western is a nearly perfect suspense tale, as farmer and family man Van Heflin is forced to escort outlaw Glenn Ford to prison. Heflin's only hope is to outsmart the outlaw gang hot on his trail. Great drama, interesting characterizations and romantic backup from Felicia Farr and Leora Dana; Forbidden Hollywood Collection Volume 6 - The four restored films cover a wide range of subjects, showing how Code enforcement robbed American films of edgy subject matter and frank political comment; and He Walked By Night - The expert commentary is the buying point for this edition of a superior film noir directed by not signed by Anthony Mann, the true story of a loner thief-killer who proved difficult to trace and even harder to kill. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.

Some great discs are being released this week. Check out these new movies: Rolling Thunder [review] - a lean and efficient seventies revenge movie, a tense and involving thriller that builds to a satisfyingly grim conclusion; Doctor Who: Series Seven - Part Two - Matt Smith continues his run as the long-lived Time Lord; and Swimming To Cambodia [review] - the first of Spalding Gray's monologues to be filmed, it's a fascinating movie that deserves to been seen by fans and new audiences alike.
