Savant's new reviews today are
It's Thanksgiving day. But we've set it aside for a workday to try and catch up with things around the Savant homestead. At least that's one turkey less for the axe. I am taking the next couple of days off, so the next batch 'o reviews won't be a comin' until probably Sunday or even Monday. The backlog is being whittled down, so I don't feel quite as strained as I was a week ago.
With Disney's Treasures compilations of Space and War themed material postponed until March, here's what Savant's looking to review soon: Already in my greedy hands are Rolling Stones: Four Flicks, Naked Lunch, Werewolf in a Girl's Dormitory, Heat and Dust, Bombay Talkie, The Great Gatsby, Lord Love a Duck, Hud, This Property is Condemned, The Looking Glass War, I.M. Pei, Les Uns Et Les Autres, Ashes and Diamonds, Kanal, Schizopolis, My House in Umbria, Charlotte Sometimes and Bonjour Tristesse. If there's anything in there that anyone's dying to hear about, drop me a line. I'm also hoping for To Live and Die in LA (I edited the extra content on it, brag brag), Lola, Bay of Angels and a curious Image double bill of Stranger from Venus and The Cosmic Man, neither of which I've seen. I'm not sure if any more Criterions, HVes, Anchor Bays or Fantomas will arrive before the end of the year, but I am hoping for a covert screener of A Boy and His Dog. Even if December gets a little thin, it's been a great year for DVDs ... all I have to do now is snag guilty pleasures The Silencers (spy sleaze) and The Long Ships (fumbled Viking fun) in a used bin somewhere and life will be complete.
Enjoy the long weekend if you're getting one. Avoid traffic accidents if you're here, and other kinds of havoc if you're overseas. Bless us all, and here's hoping for peace ... Glenn Erickson
