Savant's new reviews today are

A Happy New Year to all from the Savant homestead, where New Year's is probably the quietest night on the calendar ... but pleasant just the same. Whatever you have planned, I hope you enjoy it! I'm not all that up on time changes, but maybe they're already celebrating in Europe?

I have two more reviews tonight, just to make the week look a little more normal. One of them is the Warners Jekyll and Hyde double bill, which I've already received notes on asking me to clarify how it shapes up as a restoration. My uninformed answer is that I think it's a bit more complete than the VHS from 14 years ago, the one that restored scenes but then clipped a few pieces included in the old standard version. I remember some odd splices that don't seem to be there any more, but I simply can't be sure.

For those who've been having too much fun to be concerned with such things, don't forget this year's Savant 2003 Favored Discs. It's your typical Savant slice of mostly great older pictures and head-scratching rarities. I'm grateful for all the support, corrections and general interest, and happy to have met so many interesting people! Happy New Year! Glenn Erickson
