Savant's getting letters from readers who say that there are just too many good discs coming out too quickly, and Savant has to agree. Today we have two more attractive special editions, a Rock 'n Roll classic and an eclectic genre grabbag from France.

Miramax's A Hard Day's Night finally presents the Fab Four's premiere feature film with the transfer and the extras it deserves. The many interviews in this Special Edition provide a concentrated dose of Beatle insights.

Universal's Brotherhood of the Wolf is a serviceable disc of last year's most interesting import - a lavishly budgeted action thriller based on real events in France of the 1700's - that also mixes in monsters and modern Hong Kong martial arts choreography.

Savant can't keep up with those sites that review everything, but he's doing his best ... next stop, Hammer horror classics ... hopefully. Glenn Erickson
