Savant's new reviews today are

Out of the Past Warner
Port of Shadows Criterion
The Counterfeit Traitor Paramount and
The Soldier's Tale Koch Lorber

Hello again. Boy, I've been receiving a lot of mail about Castle Keep. Even Blockbuster has come to its senses and has revoked its preference for pan-scan transfers, but Columbia TriStar is on a pan-scan only kick. Like John Dillinger, there's no saying where they'll strike next. I've collected all my email on the subject and have amended it to the Castle Keep review; I believe the sentiments expressed there are typical and not just those of DVD fanatics. As for Wal-Mart and its supposed preference for pan-scan only titles, it sells wide-screen televisions just like everybody else does!

Thanks, Glenn Erickson
