Five, count 'em, 5 big reviews today, all of them interesting and a couple of hot titles in the stack as well. Savant has received some nice feedback about The Corporation and a couple of complaints about today's newsletter going out with the title "Bed Education" instead of Bad Education; sorry about that typo. Other writers are ecstatic about a DVD I didn't review, Warners' Battle of the Bulge. They cite extra scenes, a full roadshow presentation and an ultra-wide aspect ratio that properly conveys the film's Ultra Panavision shape, 2:74 to 1 or thereabouts. I also noted that Milestone's silent drama Hindle Wakes makes a couple lists of the best 100 movies ever made; I liked it a lot and want to show it to my family this summer.

Besides that, I have reviews coming of The Big Red One, Fellini's Intervista, The Plot Against Harry, Warlock (a favorite quirky Western) Summer Magic and a really sublime western, Hour of the Gun. Back on Saturday! Glenn Erickson
