This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews and articles including: Reptilicus - It's low-rent monster time in color and widescreen... the 1962 Danish opus is the fave inept giant monster epic of all time, run on the streets of Copenhagen with the smiling Danes happily 'fleeing' the giant marionette; John Ford: Dreaming The Quiet Man - this feature documentary on the making of John Ford's classic digs way down into several subjects -- all having to do with the director's enigmatic personality; and Pandas: The Journey Home - They're big, they're cuddly, and plenty dangerous, but this 3-D IMAX short feature is a glimpse at the work being done at a Chinese Panda centers, where Pandas are bred, raised and trained to fend for themselves in the wild. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.

Another banner week for DVDs with the studios releasing some great films and boxed sets such as: Get Hard [review] - The film has some flaws, but Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart are a hell of a comedy team, and when the movie works, it is hilarious; The Decline Of Western Civilization Collection [review] - Shout! Factory have done a pretty fantastic job bringing these important music films to Blu-ray in truly deluxe style; and Valerie and Her Week of Wonders [review] - an arthouse film that is as bizarre as it is compelling and genuinely enchanting... it's beautiful, strange and ripe for interpretation. Other reviews of note include: The New Barbarians [review], Ghosthouse / Witchery [review], and 1990: The Bronx Warriors [review].
