Five titles in two reviews to cover tonight ... Savant's pretty exhausted! And a new week of work starts tomorrow ...

Kino's deluxe German Horror Classics Boxed Set includes two titles that have been out before (The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and Nosferatu) and two newbies to the DVD realm (Waxworks and The Golem). Each comes loaded with extras.

Blue Underground's Grand Slam is a lighthearted international caper film, a light classic with Janet Leigh and Edward G. Robinson up to their necks in a Rio de Janeiro jewel heist - that happens during the Carnival celebrations.

October's levelling off a bit, waiting for the heaps of genre goodies coming in from MGM, Synapse, Columbia and Criterion. Have a nice beginning of the week! Glenn Erickson
