Greetings from Savant, who is here to slip another review in under the wire of his Tuesday night weekly deadline.

Touchstone's Reign of Fire is a-draggin' its way to DVD, looking great but showing why it didn't attract much attention last Summer. Too bad, as those giant orange posters looked terrific. Matthew McConaughey and Christian Bale slug it out with a race of flying dragons we hardly get to know.

Hm. Various news tonight. The Cinematheque screening of JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH in 4-track stereo was a success last Saturday, even though the supposedly primo print was a patchwork of good and not-so-good reels. I actually received a note from a Fox insider (thank you) on the upcoming DVD, which the studio internally reports will be in 'Dolby Surround sound'. Sounds good, for those who feared a mono mix. Image hasn't yet sent a review disc of INVADERS FROM MARS, so I can't report on it today. Early news from other sites isn't too promising, but I continue to hope for the best. Thanks for reading!
