or, Savant picks The Most Impressive Discs of 2015
This is the actual view from Savant Central, looking due North.
What a year! I was able to take one very nice trip back East too see Washington D.C. for the first time, or at least as much as two days' walking in the hot sun and then cool rain would allow. Back home in Los Angeles, we've had a year of extreme drought -- my lawn is looking patriotically ratty -- and we're expecting something called El Niño, that's supposed to be just shy of Old-Testament build-me-an-ark intensity. We withstood heat waves like those in Day the Earth Caught Fire, and now we'll get the storms part. This has been a wild year for DVD Savant, which is still a little unsettled. DVDtalk has been very patient and generous, and so have Stuart Galbraith & Joe Dante; so far everything...

Film Forum will premiere a new restoration of 1926's "Moana with Sound," filmmaker Robert J. Flaherty's follow-up to his widely praised "Nanook of the North." Made alongside his brilliant wife, Frances Hubbard Flaherty, the two journeyed with their children to the south seas in 1923 to capture the exotic lives of the unsung Samoan people. Originally filmed without any sound (as it was nearly impossible in the early 1920's), their daughter Monica Flaherty ventured back after nearly 50 years with vérité auteur Ricky Leacock to record location sound, dialogue and folk songs to accompany her parents' moving portraiture of vanished customs destroyed by industrial modernization. "Moana with Sound," a Kino Lorber release, will play for one week only at Film Forum from November 13th-19th. Bruce Posner, who restored the film, will introduce the opening night screening (Friday, November 13) at 6 Pm. For more info, click...
