[dvd review]      DVD Savant       2/5      The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T (1953)      "It's colorful, energetic, and indeed can boast fine work by a cadre of talented Hollywoodians.  But it's not very good." [dvd review]      DVD Savant            8 1/2 (1963)      "After those 8 1/2 earlier films that made him famous, Fellini seems to be admitting in this picture that he has nowhere to go, that he's run out of ideas." [dvd review]      DVD Savant       3/5      A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001)      "Did working on a project by somebody he respected, bring out the best in Spielberg?" [dvd review]      DVD Savant       3/5      The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (1984)      "The wackiness is unified into something we can care about - a consistently earnest tone, the maintenance of which is no mean feat." [dvd review]      DVDTalk.com       5/5      Alfie (1966)      "Expecting a sex romp, we are instead given a vision of the cheapness of self-indugence." [dvd review]      DVD Savant       4/5      Alice (1990)      "Light, whimsical, and unimpressed with the idea of integrating its 'magic' elements in a rational way" [dvd review]      DVD Savant       4/5      The Atomic Cafe (1982)      "The fun of course, is seeing all the out-of-control propaganda methods used to 'sell' nuclear complacency as if it were dish soap:" [dvd review]      DVD Savant       3/5      The Bad and the Beautiful (1952)      "An ultra-glossy, hard-hitting 'exposé' of what in Women's Day might pass for the truth of Hollywood." [dvd review]      DVD Savant            Band of Outsiders (1964)      "Criterion's DVD of Band of Outsiders is blessed with another remarkable set of extras, in addition to its nigh-perfect transfer and a soundtrack that highlights the very nice music of Michel Legrand." [dvd review]      DVD Savant            The Big Combo (1955)      "... all style. It's practically a minimalist epic." [dvd review]      DVD Savant            Blood Simple (1984)      "Neatly tricked out with expressive camera angles that stylize scenes without becoming too gimmicky, Blood Simple looks too good to have been shot as an independent quickie." [dvd review]      DVD Savant       3/5      Boxcar Bertha (1972)      "Scorsese ends his first film with a situation that might represent his attitude toward all the socially unworthy antiheroes he would throw at us in the following twenty years." [dvd review]      DVD Savant       4/5      Bread and Tulips (2001)      "A lot more realistic than Amelie, Bread and Tulips is at heart the same kind of journey of discovery for a romantically-impaired but very endearing woman." [dvd review]      DVD Savant       -- so-so      Candy (1968)      "A minor movie, but a major curiosity." [dvd review]      DVD Savant            The Crawling Eye (1958)      "This atmospheric, well-scripted and fairly intelligent science-fiction thriller has more than its share of genuine chills." [dvd review]      DVD Savant       5/5      Cutter's Way (1981)      "What brought Cutter's Way into focus for Savant was the realization that it's a loose transposition of Hamlet, of all things." [dvd review]      DVD Savant            The Day the Earth Caught Fire (1961)      "...one of the best science fiction films made anywhere by anybody..." [dvd review]      DVD Savant       4/5      Dementia: Daughter of Horror (1955)      "... it's like no other movie ever made, really. " [dvd review]      DVD Savant       3/5      Demetrius and the Gladiators (1954)      "Probably taken dead seriously when it came out, it plays now like high camp." [dvd review]      DVD Savant       2/5      Designing Woman (1957)      "More or less what passed for romantic comedy in 1957." [dvd review]      DVD Savant            Dirty Harry (1971)      "Dirty Harry is one ferocious movie." [dvd review]      DVD Savant            Dogs of War (1981)      "Without so much as a blurb on the package jacket, this quality action film now has a half-dozen new scenes restored!" [dvd review]      DVD Savant            The Elephant Man (1980)      "It's a nightmare film we can all relate to, even if the leading character is a once-in-a-century freakish aberration." [dvd review]      DVD Savant            F For Fake (1976)      "A wickedly rich puzzle and a great source of discussion sure to start arguments among the nicest film fans." [dvd review]      DVD Savant       3/5      The Fall of the House of Usher (1928)      "The Fall of the House of Usher is bad Poe, but that didn't stop it from being acclaimed a landmark of expressionist cinema." [dvd review]      DVDTalk.com       3/5      The Fast and the Furious (2001)      "The kind of movie that succeeds because it gives the public a double dose of exactly what it came for." [dvd review]      DVD Savant       4/5      First Men in the Moon (1964)      "Nigel Kneale gave Ray Harryhausen a script that modestly added up to something more than a string of monster encounters." [dvd review]      DVD Savant            The Flesh and the Fiends (1959)      "... not really a horror film, but a quality historical drama, handsomely produced and quite faithful to the gruesome facts." [dvd review]      DVD Savant            The Flesh and the Fiends (1959)      "With the present fervor going on about Stem Cell research, The Flesh and the Fiends suddenly becomes a topical movie about medical research ethics." [dvd review]      DVD Savant            Forgotten Silver (1997)      "A wink-wink fun movie that is neither a critical satire nor a snide razz at anything." [dvd review]      DVD Savant       3/5      Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man (1943)      "We're treated to a real knock-down drag 'em out between our favorite monsters." [dvd review]      DVD Savant       4/5      From Here to Eternity (1953)      "Zinnemann just shows two lovers in the surf and is able to suggest hot sex in three cuts and an embrace, and gets it by the censor, too." [dvd review]      DVD Savant       4/5      Funeral in Berlin (1966)      "Harry Palmer works onscreen because he's neither an imitation nor a spoof nor a takeoff of anything. " [dvd review]      DVD Savant       2/5      Funny Lady (1975)      "Ms. Streisand may sing about needing People, but doesn't convince us that she's anywhere near that human." [dvd review]      DVD Savant            Gates of Heaven (1978)      "The tone is mordantly funny but also despairing, and the film has a profundity far beyond its own scope." [dvd review]      DVD Savant       4/5      Ghost World (2001)      "It's laugh-out-loud funny, maintaining the subtle tone that makes sense of Enid and Rebecca's twisted world." [dvd review]      DVD Savant            Goliath and the Dragon (1960)      "It's one of the earlier and better of the bunch, and has some bizarre casting, to say the least." [dvd review]      DVD Savant            The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966)      "It's a unique and classic western and easily Sergio Leone's most entertaining film." [dvd review]      DVD Savant            Haxan: Witchcraft Through the Ages (1920)      "It disturbs more than an exploitative horror film because it deals directly with the images we carry in our own heads, placed there by our own culture." [dvd review]      DVD Savant       1/5      Homicidal (1961)      "Compared to this, Brian DePalma's cribbing from the Hitchcock notepad in SISTERS seems inspired. " [dvd review]      DVD Savant       3/5      House of Frankenstein (1944)      "If television weren't still a few years away it would be tempting to think that somebody at Universal envisioned breaking the film up into tv episodes." [dvd review]      DVD Savant       3/5      I Bury the Living (1958)      "It comes to life whenever these mind-warping montages start up - along with the relentless beat of the music, they give a good approximation of losing one's mind!" [dvd review]      DVD Savant            I See a Dark Stranger (1947)      "The B&W print is immaculate, and the soundtrack mercifully clear for those of us trying to decipher the mumbled argot." [dvd review]      DVD Savant       3/5      Incubus (1965)      "Everything about this picture is haunted and strange, from the way it was shot, to the fates of its actors." [dvd review]      DVD Savant       5/5      Joe Versus the Volcano (1990)      "a wonderful comedy that needs to be re-evaluated by as many people who can muster the imagination to give it another try" [dvd review]      DVD Savant       5/5      L'Avventura (1960)      "... although easy to watch, it will probably bore or frustrate anything resembling a 'standard' audience.  And that's just fine." [dvd review]      DVD Savant       2/5      The Long Gray Line (1955)      "Very sentimental and sometimes awkward, it is interesting because all of Ford's contradictions lie right on its surface." [dvd review]      DVD Savant       3/5      Lost in America (1985)      "It actually takes into account the idea that we can be smart enough to understand at least part of our own contradictory natures." [dvd review]      DVD Savant       3/5      Me & Isaac Newton (1999)      "An excellent inspirational item aimed at an adult level." [dvd review]      DVD Savant
