Savant's new reviews today are

Savant has reason to crow today; my producer's documentary for WEST SIDE STORY won the prize for best DVD doc in Tuesday's 2003 DVD Exclusive Awards as reported in Daily Variety. The show was voted over the much more expensive (and studio-touted) docus for ALIEN, THE INDIANA JONES TRILOGY, LORD OF THE RINGS and FINDING NEMO. You know how it is, one never respects these smaller awards organizations until someone you know wins something!

I finally saw the finished disc of TO LIVE AND DIE IN LA and still think our doc for that one is one of our best ... due in part to the miles of unseen behind the scenes footage MGM was able to access. I won't be reviewing that disc, but as long as I'm tooting my own horn, I figured I'd get it all over at once. Thanks for reading, Glenn Erickson
