Hope you're all ready for Valentine's Day. It's also Savant's wedding anniversary (a brilliantly practical idea, think about it) but he made sure to get this pair of reviews out on schedule:

Columbia TriStar's Living in Oblivion is an hilarious and insightful comedy about the pitfalls and insanity of low-budget moviemaking, with a winning ensemble of talent under leading man Steve Buscemi. It truly captures some of the weirdness ...

Image's DVD of Castle Hill's release of Volker Schlöndorff's Death of a Salesman is enough to make one a convert to serious stage drama: Dustin Hoffman, Kate Reid, Charles Durning, Stephen Lang and a then-brand-new John Malkovich put across a definitive version of Arthur Miller's classic play. A very handsome disc, with the bonus of a full-length documentary about the film, too.

It's flowers and candy time, so for pity's sake, don't forget. A new package of DVD goodies just came in the mail, so Savant will be busy with the reviews, even though he's working through the weekend .... Thanks for reading, as ever, GE
