Savant's new reviews today are
It's St. Patrick's Day so Savant is celebrating with movies about Germans, Indians, and Americans ...
A couple of notes: A writer friend is looking for interview subjects - she needs people who make habitual use of portable DVD players on trips, in unlikely situations ... any way except watching a DVD on a TV or a computer. If you are reasonably polite and want to play 20 questions and get quoted in a major US paper, send Savant an Email .. (above on this page)
I received some interesting corrections this week. THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY apparently does have 5.1 sound, it's just that you have to go to the audio menu to select it. The other mistakes were too embarrassing to report.
BLUE UNDERGROUND sent a nice note offering me a screener of the infamous/famous Jesus Franco film VENUS IN FURS, so it looks like I'll be selectively reviewing more of their discs from time to time. We now have at least eight smaller DVD concerns turning out terrific collectors' discs, and BU is consistently giving its wares great presentations.
Did you feel the karmic waves emanating from between the lines of that last paragraph? They're aimed at Media Blasters, ooooooo .... Savant wants the privilege of touting their marvelous Toho DVDs oooooeeeeeahhhhhh .... (smell incense burning) Om. Repeat twice daily while bowing toward Mt. Fuji.
Thanks for reading, Glenn Erickson
