Saturday and my cold seems to be on the wane - I'm glad it isn't one of those that hangs around for weeks. On to the reviews:

Warners' two disc The Adventures of Robin Hood Special Edition has more interesting extras than I've ever before seen jammed onto a classic library title. And you'll flip over the color.

Criterion once again rescues film history with a first-time ever restoration of the complete original The Devil and Daniel Webster, William Dieterle's ode to Americana with Stephen Vincent Benet's rascally Mr. Scratch. Walter Huston is the best devil in a movie, and the uncut show abounds with experimental touches.

Something Weird gives us not one, not two, but three of the most unwatchable oddities in schlock film history: The Atomic Brain, Love After Death and The Incredible Petrified World. Each needs a good excuse, not a review, but bizarro cinema fans will certainly get their moola's worth.

Our AOL newsletter problems don't seem to be cleared up yet - I received the main DVDTalk newsletter last week, but that's it ... hopefull all will be fixed soon. Thanks for reading, Glenn Erickson
