I've slipped in another goodie for the week - Anchor Bay's excellent disc of Nicolas Roeg's The Man Who Fell to Earth. An earlier disc was a true eyesore, and now that Studio Canal appears to be sucking up every loose film in Europe, like a black hole, we get this superbly transferred edition. The David Bowie fantasmagoria is a tough nut to crack for the average viewer, and can even be a frustrating ride for Science Fiction fans accustomed to less demanding fare, but Roeg's dazzling imagery and bizarre editing schemes are always fascinating. It's a two disc set with a number of interesting extras.

Awk, more deadlines. This summer, Savant will probably be staring at the Phone That Will Not Ring, wondering where all the work went, but right now he's on the busy side, so I've only gotten out 5 reviews this week. I'll still stay ahead of the deluge, but not so nimbly ... thanks again for hanging in there! GE
