Well, we got through both 9/11 and Friday the 13th in one piece, and can look forward to a wonderful weekend ... and Savant has three superior discs to review.

MGM's Koyaanisqatsi and Powaqqatsi are titles fans have been dreaming about for some time - these two, along with Yellow Submarine, and the Moroder Metropolis were for years hotly pursued music-oriented collector's items. And the transfers and extras on these new discs are terrific - including wonderful interviews with New Age gurus Godfrey Reggio and Philip Glass. Top Savant recommendations.

MGM is also on the street with The Onion Field, a superior true crime story that happened in Hollywood and a fateful Bakersfield back road forty years ago. Forget cops with their own agendas and gunmen who only shoot when they have to - the ugliness and tragedy of murder, and the pain of the legal horrors that followed have never been better presented. With John Savage and a chilling James Woods.

Thanks for tuning in to DVD Savant, who Shall Return. Glenn Erickson
