Celebrating 25 years, GALAXY QUEST comes to 4K Ultra-HD for the first time in spectacular HDR-10 and Dolby Vision and dynamic Dolby Atmos sound, a new Filmmaker Focus with director Dean Parisot, and hours of legacy special features. Years after cancellation, the stars of the television series Galaxy Quest cling to their careers. When a distressed interstellar race mistakes the show for “historical documents,” lead actor Jason Nesmith (Tim Allen) and his crew of has-beens are unwittingly recruited to save the alien race from a genocidal warlord. Featuring an all-star ensemble, including Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman, Tony Shalhoub, Sam Rockwell, Daryl Mitchell, Justin Long and Rainn Wilson, GALAXY QUEST is a hilarious adventure that boldly goes where no comedy has gone before.

I've recently gotten into buying DVDs instead of streaming things, but the problem that I'm having is that the only DVD player I have is my old Xbox 360 which doesn't support Blu-ray and I don't know if there are better DVD readers nowadays. Just wondering if there was anything I should specifically look for or avoid when shopping for a new player.

One of the most charming anime of the 80s is Giant Gorg. and we are finally getting a remastered Blu-ray release of it this November.

Written and directed by the hugely talented Yoshikazu Yasuhiko, it deals with the plucky Tagami Yu following in the footsteps of his dead father. He ends up on a newly arisen island in the South Pacific. Full of ancient secrets and a massive corporation that wants those secrets for itself.

...

I reviewed the DVD release back in 2016, and in the time since Japan did an amazing Blu-ray remaster of the anime (shown below). It’s this remaster that is finally coming Westward in November.

Set over 26 episodes, this is one of those anime that should be binge watched. Much like Future Boy Conan, Giant Gorg is a unique and special anime that has a kind of rare narrative pacing that isn’t seen in more modern shows.

...

Even if you picked up the Giant Gorg DVD release a while back, this Blu-ray remaster is something else entirely and is an essential purchase as far as I am concerned.

Released on November 26, you can pre-order the Blu-ray from Crunchyroll’s online store for the currently reduced price of $37.46.

Also today, we’ve have word from retail sources (and customers who have pre-ordered the tiles) that Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment’s recently street-dated 4K catalog titles—Alfred Hitchcock’s North by Northwest (1959), Mel Brooks’ Blazing Saddles (1974), and James Cameron’s The Terminator (1984)—have been pushed to 11/19 from 11/5. That probably has to do with the added time needed to replicate enough production to meet demand. Adjust your plans accordingly.

In any case, be aware that North by Northwest (1959) and Blazing Saddles (1974) will each include HDR10 and Dolby Atmos audio, while The Terminator (1984) will include both Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos audio.

Look also for Georges Franju’s Eyes Without a Face (1960) on 4K + Blu-ray on 11/6.

...

Now then, the big news today is that Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has just unveiled an amazing new Frank Capra at Columbia Collection, which includes 20 deep-catalog classic films, 9 of which are in 4K Ultra HD! Look for the set to street on 11/19.

The films included are So This Is Love (1929), The Way of the Strong (1928), That Certain Thing (1928), Submarine (1928) in 4K UHD and SDR, The Younger Generation (1929) in 4K UHD and SDR, Flight (1929), Ladies of Leisure (1930), Rain or Shine (1930), Dirigible (1931) in 4K UHD and SDR, The Miracle Woman (1931), Platinum Blonde (1931) in 4K UHD and SDR, American Madness (1932), The Bitter Tea of General Yen (1932), Forbidden (1932), Lady for a Day (1933), It Happened One Night (1934) in 4K UHD with Dolby Vision HDR, Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (1936) in 4K UHD with Dolby Vision HDR, Lost Horizon (1937) in 4K UHD with Dolby Vision HDR, You Can’t Take It With You (1938) in 4K UHD with Dolby Vision HDR, and Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939) in 4K UHD with Dolby Vision HDR, as well as the Frank Capra: Mr. America (2024) documentary!

Fans of the classic horror-comedy anthology Creepshow can pick up a new limited-edition version of the remastered 4K Blu-ray. Creepshow's limited edition comes with an appropriately creepy yet humorous steelbook case. The new edition released this month, but it's already on sale for $33 at Amazon and Walmart (down from $40). Directed by George Romero and written by novelist Stephen King, Creepshow originally released in 1982, spawning a franchise that has seen a resurgence in popularity in recent years thanks to Shudder's anthology show and a new series of comic books. The original film remains the best of the bunch--Shudder's series is quite good, though--and the film holds up well more than 40 years later.

Creepshow Limited Edition comes with 4K Blu-ray and standard 1080p Blu-ray discs. The film was remastered in 4K using the original camera negatives. Both discs are packed with special features, including audio commentary with George Romero, a roundtable on the making of Creepshow, and more behind-the-scenes content. You can find a full list of special features at the bottom of this article.

...

This isn't the first 4K release of Creepshow. Last year, Creepshow received a new collector's edition with the same bonus features. If you bought that version, the only reason to pick up the new edition would be for the steelbook case. Creepshow Collector's Edition is available for $26 (was $37) at Amazon and Walmart.

Paramount Pictures UK has officially announced that it will release on 4K Blu-ray Jonathan Mostow's Breakdown (1997), starring Kurt Russell, J.T. Walsh, Kathleen Quinlan, M.C. Gainey, and Jack Noseworthy. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on October 21. Description: All roads lead to excitement with Kurt Russell in Breakdown, the non-stop thrill ride that's "a movie of nerve-frying intensity...Kurt Russell's best performance yet" (Rex Reed, New York Observer).

Jeff Taylor (Russell) and his wife Amy (Kathleen Quinlan) are headed toward a new life in California when their car's engine dies on a remote highway. Amy accepts a ride from a helpful trucker (J.T. Walsh) while Jeff waits with the car. But when Jeff shows up at the agreed rendezvous, he finds his wife's not there. The locals aren't talking; the police aren't much help. With no one to turn to, Jeff battles his worst fears and begins a desperate, danger-ridden search to find Amy - before it's too late!

Special Features and Technical Specs:

  • TWO-DISC SET
  • DOLBY VISION/HDR PRESENTATION OF THE FILM
  • Filmmaker Focus: Director Jonathan Mostow on Breakdown
  • Commentary By Director Jonathan Mostow and Kurt Russell
  • Victory Is Hers: Kathleen Quinlan on Breakdown
  • A Brilliant Partnership: Martha De Laurentiis on Breakdown
  • AND MORE...
  • Optional English SDH and French subtitles for the main feature

After Australia and the US getting special edition blurays, I'm happy to see the UK finally getting a decent release as well. A great film that i haven't watched since the DVD release. I think an upgrade is in order.

The '80s were a special time for cinema, as moviemakers could easily get away with producing fantastical stories that were also nightmare fuel for kids. Jim Henson, creator of The Muppets, did exactly that with The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth. If you're interested in revisiting these weird but enchanting masterpieces, Walmart has opened preorders for exclusive limited-edition 4K Blu-ray versions for both films. The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth release November 19 and cost $29 each.

This isn't the first time that these films have been available as 4K Blu-ray editions, but Walmart is offering them with very cool steelbook covers. The Dark Crystal's steelbook cover features a gorgeous illustration of one of the key locations in the movie.

Hollywood Bruceploitation in 4K Ultra HD? Shout! announces 'Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story' arriving in November

Posted on September 5, 2024 by JJ Bona

Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story | 4K Ultra HD (Shout!)

Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story | 4K Ultra HD (Shout!)

The Radiance Films Blu-ray imprint has just released the second volume in its World Noir series, which collects global noirs from Japan, France and Germany. “Noir is a thread that runs through cinema history in complex ways, and allows us to explore all sorts of topics,” says managing director Francesco Simeoni, “which is very exciting from a curatorial perspective.” For example, Volume 2 includes the Yakuza heist drama Cruel Gun Story (Takumi Furukawa, 1964), which transfers the plot twists of 1950s American gangster movies into the 1960s Tokyo underworld.

This week’s rerelease of The Third Man (1949) suggests a detour closer to home: a British film noir with American stars, set in postwar Vienna, which is divided into zones controlled by different international powers, and home to travellers from across Europe and the US. Here the accent of the all-important voiceover is American, courtesy of Joseph Cotten, as is the charismatic Harry Lime, played by Orson Welles, but the story and direction are by Brits (Graham Greene and Carol Reed respectively) and its visual style, with those deep shadows and even deeper tilted angles (the cinematographer Robert Krasker was Australian), draws on Hollywood’s translation of German silent cinema. For Phullar, the significance of The Third Man is in the way that “you see and hear and feel those long journeys of film noir, perhaps more than other films of that era”. In this light, Harry Lime’s famous speech, elaborated by Welles, about how great art is produced only by countries riven by violence and turmoil, seems especially on the nose.

Now then, the big news today is that Franklin J. Schaffner’s Planet of the Apes (1968) has just been upgraded to 4K on all your favorite Digital services, including Apple TV, Fandango at Home, Movies Anywhere, Kaleidescape and more! It actually has Dolby Vision HDR on Apple TV (and it may elsewhere as well). Naturally, we’ve asked about the possibility of a physical 4K release of this film. I suspect there are no current plans, but I also suspect that if the title does well on Digital, that could change.

Anybody else on here on the 3D train?

Having recently finished setting up the projector (bin rescue), screen (£20, gumtree), and working out the glasses required (£20, eBay), I finally got my first taste of home shutterglass 3D.

We watched Pirates!, as I happened to have the disc in 3D already.
3D lends itself well to Aardman's models and physical sets.
I like 3D best when it's like looking through a window, or onto a stage.

It also turned out that my steelbook of The Hobbit contained the 3D copy too.
We're only 30 mins through it, but there are some nice shots (I particularly liked the one of Bilbo watching Gandalf through the window)

I checked with CEX, and 3D discs are now mostly quite reasonably priced. So we went and bought about 70% of the local branch's stock, for the princely sum of £20.*

While yes, it is a novelty, and a bit of a gimmick at times...It's fun.
And gives me a bonus inexpensive collectable hobby!

*(Pro-tip: If you're going to do similar, go when it's not busy, and apologise to them in advance. The 3D discs are all mixed in with the standard ones, and the poor guys spent about 20 minutes hunting)

(Adrian Edmondson, 1999) Release date: 26 August 2024 Limited Edition Blu-ray (UK premiere)

After a decade of honing their signature characters, Richie and Eddie, across TV and stage-show appearances, British comedy legends Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson (The Comic Strip Presents..., The Young Ones) finally gave the pair the big-screen outing which they truly deserved in the riotous, vomit-soaked entertainment that is Guest House Paradiso.

When Mr Nice (Simon Pegg, Shaun of the Dead) and his family check in to 'the cheapest hotel in Britain' -- run with maximum inefficiency and malfeasance by Richie and Eddie -- it sets off an outrageous chain of events involving rubber underwear, a beautiful Italian film star (Hélène Mahieu), her abusive fiancé (Vincent Cassel, Irreversible), and a consignment of radioactive fish.

Featuring a spectacular supporting cast, which also includes Fenella Fielding (Carry On Screaming!, Hammer's The Old Dark House) and Bill Nighy (Love Actually), this slapstick tour-de-force is a latter-day classic of disreputable British comedy, which has to be seen to be believed.

Limited Edition Blu-ray (UK premiere)

As a huge fan of the UK show Bottom, I was, and still am, a huge fan of this Bottom movie. I bought a copy as soon as it was released on DVD, and it felt like it would never get a higher quality release.

It did appear on UK Netflix for a few days but unbelievably, they were streaming the film in 400P!! That's worse than standard definition!

In August 2023, Vinegar Syndrome released an exclusive copy of the film in the US. If I found a copy cheap online, I would've snapped one up. I was searching eBay today and discovered a new copy of the film showing up in my search. Turns out a UK exclusive copy was released yesterday (Aug 26th) and it has even more bonus features. Ordered!!

Sorry for the overexcitement. I do however feel this film probably has a rather niche audience.

Pheeeeb!
