Not sure if they will deliver outside Ireland as couldn't find it on the UK site but here's the link.

I thought it might be a scam because it says "LEONINE Dredd (4K Ultra HD)" in the title and I was thinking "what the hell is LEONINE?" so waited until it arrived before posting here.

Lo and behold it's a German version (all text on the box is in German) but has the full English audio so you just start playing and switch audio streams.

A shell-shocking saga of mutants, martial arts and New York mayhem, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles trilogy brought comic book grit, practical effects wizardry and pizza-fuelled fun to a generation of moviegoers, helping turn four sewer-dwelling brothers into global pop culture icons.

Launching in 1990 with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, director Steve Barron's gritty, high-energy adaptation of the underground comic became a box office phenomenon, fusing martial arts action, streetwise humour and the groundbreaking animatronics of Jim Henson's Creature Shop. The 1991 sequel The Secret of the Ooze is an irresistibly fun second slice: a deep-dive into the turtles' origins where new mutant foes Tokka and Rahzar are thrown in the mix... double the stakes, double the pizza! Rounding out the trilogy, 1993's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III sends the heroes in a half shell back to feudal Japan in a time-travel adventure full of samurai showdowns, ancient legends and comic chaos.

Restored in glorious 4K and packed with extras, this radical set celebrates the legacy of Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo and Raphael in one of the most iconic franchises of the era, blending innovative effects, comic-book heart and early '90s attitude.

Not too long ago, I did a JoBlo Originals video on the 1994 Jeff Bridges/Tommy Lee Jones action flick Blown Away. In it, I mentioned that the movie had just been re-released by Kino Lorber on 4K UHD---a cause for celebration. Or so I thought. While the movie is largely intact, two minor soundtrack substitutions have apparently been made, which you can read about here.

The movie relies heavily on the music of U2, and luckily those songs are intact. However, two other soundtrack cuts---Here's Where the Story Ends by The Sundays and All Night Long by Aretha Franklin---have been replaced. In the case of Here's Where the Story Ends, the replacement is a cover version you might not notice right away. The Aretha song, however, has been swapped out for some generic jazz, and they even removed Aretha's name from a piece of dialogue spoken by Forest Whitaker's character.

Clearly, this comes down to licensing costs, but it's not the only example. The Carl Reiner comedy Fatal Instinct, a spoof of Basic Instinct, has had two songs removed: In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly and Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison, which plays twice in the original. This is also the case for all streaming versions of the film, although---curiously---the Blown Away streaming version still has its soundtrack intact.

I wouldn't blame Kino Lorber for the changes. No doubt these substitutions were made by Amazon/MGM, the rights holders. But where does it stop? Apparently, a few years ago, the streaming version of When Harry Met Sally was missing many of its original songs, although (thankfully) that seems to have been fixed. For a while, the streaming version of The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear was also missing an important song by The Righteous Brothers, but it's now intact.

This has been a long-standing issue with TV re-releases (many versions of Dawson's Creek are missing its iconic theme song), but I didn't realize it was creeping into movies, too. Back in the '80s, this was commonplace, with Universal infamous for changing music on their home video releases---Sixteen CandlesFast Times at Ridgemont High, and most notoriously The Wild Life. Thankfully, since the DVD era, these movies have had their original soundtracks restored (although music licensing kept The Wild Life out of print for years). But this new trend feels like a slippery slope.

Even worse, consumers aren't being warned that the movies have been altered. So---I hate to say it---be wary whenever a new catalogue title shows up on Blu-ray.

Apparently, this was announced at ComicCon. Here's the text from his Instagram post:

Bless me Father - for I have cinema! I announced it at my Hall H panel last night so I can say it here today: the good folks at @lionsgatehome will be releasing @dogmaresurrected! Later this year, they’ll be bringing our beautiful 4K transfer to what we used to call “Home Video” back in the day - which today means streaming and whatnot. But one of the things I love about working with @lionsgate (and if you’re old like me, you might recall they released #dogma theatrically back in 1999) is their commitment to PHYSICAL MEDIA! So like they did with @clerksmovie and #the430movie, the #lionsgate kids are already building an amazing STEEL BOOK for Dogma as well! The abundance of extras we’re including will make it a heavenly addition to your collection, thanks to a helluva company that still believes there’s a little life left in the @jayandsilentbob biz! Thanks, LG! #KevinSmith #comiccon #steelbook

Director Guillermo del Toro’s noir thriller / Best Picture nominee Nightmare Alley (watch it HERE) was released into the world in December of 2021, and a black and white version of the film, called Nightmare Alley: Vision in Darkness and Light, was released soon after. Both the color and b&w versions of the film had a running time of 150 minutes – but seven months ago, del Toro revealed that he was working on an extended cut of the black and white version. Now we know when we’re going to have the chance to see it, as Criterion has announced that they’ll be bringing the new black and white extended director’s cut of Nightmare Alley to 4K on October 28th! It’s available for pre-order at THIS LINK.

Del Toro had this to say about the black and white version of Nightmare Alley when it was first released: “Although we shot Nightmare Alley in color, we lit it as if it were black and white. You can see exactly the same level of design, and we wanted to give viewers this special vantage as a take of the classic noir genre that the film is part of.” Cinematographer Dan Laustsen added: “When we designed and shot, we were always thinking color and black and white. The classic lighting I have used is an homage to all the incredible masters of cinematography who have inspired me.“

Based on a novel by William Lindsay Gresham (which was previously turned into a movie in 1947), Nightmare Alley is set in “a world of carnival hustlers and con men, telling the story of a mentalist who teams with a psychologist in order to swindle the rich.” Here’s the official synopsis: When charismatic but down-on-his-luck Stanton Carlisle endears himself to clairvoyant Zeena and her has-been mentalist husband Pete at a traveling carnival, he crafts a golden ticket to success, using this newly acquired knowledge to grift the wealthy elite of 1940s New York society. With the virtuous Molly loyally by his side, Stanton plots to con a dangerous tycoon with the aid of a mysterious psychiatrist who might be his most formidable opponent yet.

The film stars Bradley Cooper as Stanton Carlisle, Cate Blanchett as Lilith, Toni Collette as Zeena, David Strathairn as Pete, Rooney Mara as Molly, and Richard Jenkins as the “dangerous tycoon”. Also in the cast are Willem Dafoe, Mary Steenburgen, Ron Perlman, Holt McCallany, Clifton Collins Jr., Tim Blake Nelson, Jim Beaver, and David Hewlett.

Copies of Gresham’s novel Nightmare Alley can be purchased at THIS LINK. Del Toro wrote the adaptation with Kim Morgan. Our own JimmyO gave del Toro’s film a 9/10 review you can read HERE.

Criterion brings the black and white extended Nightmare Alley to 4K and Blu-ray with the following special features: – 4K digital master of Nightmare Alley: Vision in Darkness and Light, a new black-and-white extended director’s cut, supervised by director Guillermo del Toro, with 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack – 4K digital master of the theatrical version of the film, with Dolby Atmos soundtrack – Two 4K UHD discs of the films presented in Dolby Vision HDR and two Blu-rays with the films and special features – New audio commentary on the extended director’s cut featuring del Toro – New documentary on the film’s performances, visual language, costume and production design, and score – New conversation between del Toro and actor and producer Bradley Cooper – New conversation between del Toro and coscreenwriter Kim Morgan – Trailers – English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing and English descriptive audio – PLUS: An essay by crime-fiction and true-crime expert Sarah Weinman – New cover by Thomas Ott
