Greetings! Savant's new reviews today are

Hello again. No great volume of notable DVD news for this Tuesday. Media Blasters has announced two more Toho fantasy pictures for early next year, the original Japanese versions of Latitude Zero (March) and Frankenstein Conquers the World (February). The Frankenstein film, originally called Frankenstein vs. Baragon is quite different from the Henry G. Saperstein American version, which most viewers have only seen pan-scanned on television. Latitude Zero has been a no-see title for ages, so it will be interesting to find out what it's really like: Joseph Cotten, Cesar Romero, Richard Jaeckel and Patricia Medina co-star. Media Blasters seems to be getting these titles from Toho one by one, as their legal status is disentangled from 40 year-old distribution deals. Hopefully the few remaining Wild Card titles will soon appear, like 1962's Gorath, arguably Ishirô Honda's best movie next to the original Gojira.
Thanks for reading, Glenn Erickson
