Greetings! Savant's new reviews today are
and
The Wicker Man (2-Disc Set) Anchor Bay
What? Only two reviews? And neither is a ten-disc set? Yes, the holidays are upon us and Glenn is feeling itchy to wander from his computer chair a bit more. That, and the flood of gotta-review discs is slowing down. And I'll be putting together my laughably idiosyncratic "Best of List for 2006," the one that cheats by basically being a top ten with 50+ titles! Here's Last Year's List, should you want to prime your particular angry mob in advance.
A happy plug for a deserving associate: A Savant acquaintance from wa-ay back, film and video enthusiast Tom Koester, is holding a screening of a new 3-D documentary at Rocket Video on La Brea Avenue in Hollywood, Thursday December 14 at 7:00 PM. The show,
is billed as An unusual doc dealing largely with the making of an Underground Rock CD, done from an insider's POV in an immersive style, which is heightened by the use of 3D.
Shot in Digital 3D Video by film maker Tom Koester, it centers on the efforts of Texas raised guitarist/song writer Mike Alvarez and his musician friends to create a full 10-song CD in one weekend.
The film will be shown in 3D Digital Projection. 3D glasses will be provided, and a Q & A with Tom Koester will follow the screening.
More info, pictures and links to online 3-D demos can be found at Tom Koester 3-D at Rocket Video Web Page.
Finally an odd but interesting request from a Savant reader who wants to know: Does anyone know where in New York that restaurant scene in Who Was That Lady? was filmed, the one that ends with a fight on the sidewalk? Does the Chinese restaurant still exist somewhere in Manhattan? To the reader, it looks like a practical location, not a studio set. (?) Thanks for reading, Glenn Erickson
