Happy debarcation day! While you're storming the beaches, take some time out for a DVD review!
Warner's She Wore a Yellow Ribbon is one of the better John Ford / John Wayne Westerns, and the Technicolor photography of Monument Valley is magnificent. With Joanne Dru, Victor McLaglen and the late John Agar.
Image Enertainment has finally inflicted Edward D. Wood, Jr.'s Night of the Ghouls on us, and it's here not to shock or terrify, but to make us go, "Whaa..?" With the inimitable Tor Johnson, whose makeup makes him look like a snowplow ran over his face.
Savant chanced upon a fun review website written by an Australian woman who analyses films just the way Savant likes them. It's called And You Call Yourself a Scientist! and it's especially concerned with the distortion of science and scientists in movies - writer Liz Kingsley is herself a scientist. With lots of references to 'multi-colored liquids in conical flasks'. See you Saturday, Glenn Erickson
