Greetings from the desk of Savant, who's just received some Fox SuperSpy capers, and can't wait to get at them! But first, here's a pair of interesting titles:

Image Entertainment's Without Limits: NASA Test Projects is a trio of engrossing docus on high-desert jet and rocket research, that can boast great test footage, and key interviews with the engineers and designers, and the test pilots who fly the experimental aircraft.

Columbia TriStar's Beijing Bicycle is the intense story of a battle for possession of a silver mountain bike, that a messenger needs for his work, and a student needs to impress his friends. It's a very small-scaled, beautifully-photographed Chinese film that seems to expand into bigger meanings.

Savant's been receiving lots of mail about the new 1776 DVD - specifically if it's as long as the older Pioneer laserdisc. Well, it's more complicated than that, so the 1776 review has been amended with some new notes, and a link to a very informative webpage. Thanks for reading, Glenn Erickson
