A busy Thursday, but Savant's got the goods:
Q - The Winged Serpent is a class job from Blue Underground that blows away the old DVD. Michael Moriarity steals the show in a wild monster story hiding a subversive message about religion.
MGM gives us a long-delayed Special Edition of Joe Dante's The Howling. It contains most of the goodies from the old laser disc, plus an engaging new docu.
MGM also streets I, Madman a quirky and clever horror exercise that misses the usual pitfalls and almost makes it to minor classic status. 'Be careful what you read' might be a good motto for this one.
The docu this week is Chris Smith's engagingly droll Home Movie, a quaint tour of five weird houses and the people who inhabit them. Guaranteed to make one appreciate one's 5 rooms and a garage.
Hail and Hosanna, it's happened, good news too good to be true. Anchor Bay has announced that they're releasing the LONG, 4.75 hour Until the End of the World to DVD in Spring of 2004. For Savant, this is the most personal happy release ever, so be prepared to put up with me talking about it frequently from now 'til then, like a bona-fide DVD Weenie! Last I heard, this was tied up in legal problems that could have kept it out of legal sight forever. Hail Anchor Bay!
Coming up next, a great old TV series, and two new educational collections from Fantoma! Thanks for reading - Glenn Erickson
