Greetings! Savant's new reviews today are
Hello again. Savant is once again healthy and ready to face the harsh 70-degree temperatures of this cruel Hollywood winter. I've received a number of emails this week expressing dismay at the transfer of The Gang's All Here, and many others excited about the upcoming Warners Cult Camp Classics line. Once again, Warners seems the best studio in terms of reacting to, and actively courting the film fan market.
I exchanged a few emails over the weekend with respected writer and commentator Tom Weaver, who just appeared a couple of weeks ago with Bob Burns, actor Slick Slavin and actress Charlotte Austin on a commentary on VCI's restored "Positively No Refunds" DVD of of the goofy 50's monster opus The Bride and the Beast (co-billed with The White Gorilla). Ms. Austin apparently came to the commentary recording session with a printout of Savant's 2002 review of the monkey movie in question, and then quoted from it on-mike. Hmm, Savant's magic crystal ball sees him running out to find a copy of said disc, like, right away.
Lastly, I've updated the Savant Wish List with new requests and a number of newly announced titles. Thanks for reading! Glenn Erickson
