Hello! Savant's new reviews today are
Hello again ... just got through with the Godzilla piece and am forging into a new week of discs ... things are pleasant in Los Angeles except for the fact that there must be 25% more auto traffic due to many schools being back in session.
Interesting news: Savant correspondent Gary Teetzel attended the Corman fest at the Egyptian this weekend and reports that Chris D announced that the Cinematheque will at long last present a program they first promised two years or so ago: A two-week retrospective of Russian sci-fi, from the silent era to modern day. Oh boy! Eastern-bloc sci-fi! Somebody hold Savant back!
And a thank you to the many readers (14, actually!) who wrote in to confirm that Universal's Science Fiction Ultimate Collection is a Best Buy exclusive ... we'll be looking for it next month.
Savant welcomes a new reviewer to the DVD Talk stable of talent. Paul Mavis has been writing this column with corrections and suggestions for a long time, and it looks as if he's joining the troublemakers at DVD Talk's vaunted Ministry of Truth, just down Propaganda Avenue from the still-popular Ministry of Fear. Actually, Paul's first review is up and you can read it here; it's on Robert Aldrich's Emperor of the North.
Thanks for reading! Glenn Erickson
