Welcome back to DVD Savant, home of the over-analyzed DVD review!

Today from Criterion, comes an old favorite, The Horse's Mouth. It's a very odd, very endearing film about a scurrilous artist played by Alec Guinness. Gulley Jimson is the most dishonest, abusive, destructive and troublesome con-man imaginable, but he's also a dedicated genius!

Image Entertainment blasts forth with a pair of WHAM BAM Japanese live-action juvenile superhero shows, Ultraman Tiga and Ultraman Dyna & Ultraman Dyna: The Battle in Hyperspace ... please don't make me write that again. Guest reviewer Gary Teetzel provides an analysis sharp enough to make the most discriminating Kaiju or Anime fan nod in approval.

Savant is enjoying the summer sun and the sparkling flow of hot'n cold DVDs ... with a growing stack begging faster reviews. Thanks! Glenn Erickson
