This unusually sensitive, overlooked WW2 romance skips the morale-boosting baloney of the day. Two people meet on a train, each with a personal shame they dare not speak of. Ginger Rogers and Joseph Cotten are excellent under William Dieterle’s direction, and Shirley Temple doesn’t do half the damage you’d think she might.

He sings, he fixes cars, and he takes punches better than De Niro’s Raging Bull. Elvis Presley excels in one of his few ’60s pictures that shows an interest in being a ‘real movie,’ a remake of a boxing saga with entertaining characters and fine direction from noir specialist Phil Karlson. Plus Charles Bronson, Lola Albright and Joan Blackman in standout roles.

You want radical? Look no further. Nagisa Oshima's near-legendary issue drama makes a wickedly frightening protest against the death penalty, but then proceeds into formal abstraction and the endorsement of a violent radical position. You can't find a political 'gauntlet picture' as jarring or as potent as this one.

or, Savant picks The Most Impressive Discs of 2015
This is the actual view from Savant Central, looking due North.
What a year! I was able to take one very nice trip back East too see Washington D.C. for the first time, or at least as much as two days' walking in the hot sun and then cool rain would allow. Back home in Los Angeles, we've had a year of extreme drought -- my lawn is looking patriotically ratty -- and we're expecting something called El Niño, that's supposed to be just shy of Old-Testament build-me-an-ark intensity. We withstood heat waves like those in Day the Earth Caught Fire, and now we'll get the storms part. This has been a wild year for DVD Savant, which is still a little unsettled. DVDtalk has been very patient and generous, and so have Stuart Galbraith & Joe Dante; so far everything...

Sonisphere Festival will return in 2013. The rock event - which was cancelled earlier in 2012 due to "a very challenging year" - is hoping to unveil the new lineup earlier than they did in 2012. "We're working on a bill now, hopefully to announce before Christmas," Stuart Galbraith, CEO of Kilimanjaro Live told BBC Newsbeat. "Cancelling it last year was a hiccup." Galbraith went on to add that organisers spent too long (more)...

LONDON -- Live Nation U.K. Music managing director Stuart Galbraith has been dismissed from the live music powerhouse because of "breach of contract."
The executive has been ousted from the company's central London premises.
Live Nation U.K. president Live Nation Paul Latham will continue to run the British company.
A Live Nation spokesperson declined comment on the development.
