Greetings! Savant's new reviews today are

V for Vendetta  Warner DVD
Koko a Talking Gorilla  Criterion
Beyond the Rocks  Milestone/New Yorker and
Electric Edwardians: The Films of Mitchell & Kenyon  Milestone/New Yorker/BFI

Savant will be taking a little break soon so I'm trying to get in some hard-content reviews while I can. The pipeline always seems to have enough genre goodies to keep me interested, but today's grouping has a couple of documentaries and some antique curiosities as well. Pal Gary Teetzel has been sending me news from the Comic-Con in San Diego, which he'll be covering in part for TCM. He's picked up a a Sony pictures postcard that promises new Karloff releases for Halloween. I should think that would pretty much clean out the Columbia horror library with the exception of Hammer holdout gotta-haves and arcana like The Face Behind the Mask with Peter Lorre. Thanks for reading -- Glenn Erickson
