This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews and articles including: The Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec - This marvelously witty and spirited action-comedy by director Luc Besson brings to life the classic French graphic novel series about a French beauty who's an author, archeologist and adventuress in a slightly fantastic Paris of 1911 ; Fire Maidens of Outer Space - one of the bottom-barrel creature features of childhood TV weekends surfaces in an incredible perfect HD transfer, in all its uncut, uncouth glory; and Tarzan and the Slave Girl - Lean & cool Lex Barker cuts a fine jungle figure in his second RKO romp as the Lord of the Apes. The eventful story includes a lost city, a strange disease, kidnapped beauties and a one-shot Jane. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.

Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel just doesn't live up to the promise of what could have been, even if it looks tremendous; and Dark Angel [review] - a fun mix of sci-fi, action and horror spearheaded by Dolph Lundgren's loveable lunkhead persona and some pretty decent action scenes.
