Greetings! Something a little different this week .. a midweek update. Here are some reviews that are burning a hole in Savant's schedule:

Sólo con tu pareja  Criterion
Murder à la Mod and The Moving Finger  Something Wild / Image
The Devil and Daniel Johnston  Sony and
The Bollywood Horror Collection, Volume 1:
Bandh Darwaza & Purana Mandir  Image

How has this happened? Well I've come up with only three new titles on a number of update days lately, while I keep accepting new material to review. I have to tell you that pure unadulterated greed plays a role in this. I am sometimes asked how I can write so many reviews, and my response (cleverly deflecting attention away from the issue of quality) is that writing has simply taken over time wasted watching television. Don't ask me about the latest shows or what's happening on NBC; I haven't a clue. And I understand something called The World Series is underway.

I can dispel the flattering rumors that two or three writers are held captive in my basement churning out reviews. No, I'm sorry to say, every misspelling, inappropriate modifier and mangled instance of syntax is my very own. I am proud of a number of 'correspondents' who catch my worst grammatical crimes ... and I'm grateful for every correction.

More reviews on Saturday, two days from now ... Glenn Erickson
