Savant's new reviews today are

Not a great deal to report today. I took a spin past the Amoeba Sunset Blvd. store and saw that the Hammer Series Boxed Set happened to be sold out, as was the Astaire Rogers Boxed Set. I asked a person at the counter, who said that their batch of both titles hadn't experienced any return problems.

Gary Teetzel has pointed me to the news that Media Blasters' Tokyo Shock series has listed the Toho super-sub saga Atragon with a December 13 release date. This is good news, for Atragon was controlled by American -International for the longest time but never came out on home video (or at least it got by me) from either Orion or MGM. If its rights have reverted back to Tokyo, perhaps other Toho productions massacred in their American releases (Savant's mainly thinking of the superior Astral Collision movie Gorath) will eventually be forthcoming. Atragon is a silly but intriguing adventure that pits the treacherous undersea Mu empire against a fantastic triphibian warship commanded by a Japanese Naval Officer who never surrendered in 1945. Savant can't wait to get his keyboard into that one. Thanks for reading, Glenn Erickson.
