• Kevin Smith's 'The 4:30 Movie' Sneaks into a 4K UHD SteelBook and Blu-ray on November 5

    Posted Tue Sep 24, 2024 at 12:59 PM PDT by
    Kevin Smith's The 4:30 Movie - 4K UHD SteelBook & Blu-ray Coming November 2024

    Kevin Smith's semi-autobiographical teen comedy 'The 4:30 Movie' will be showing on 4K UHD SteelBook and Blu-ray on November 5 from Lionsgate. The 4K is an Amazon-exclusive and will offer Smith's latest antics in Dolby Vision HDR & Atmos audio. 

    The film stars Ken Jeong and Justin Long, with several cameos including Rosario Dawson, Jason Lee, Adam Pally, Jason Biggs, and more, and is rated R.

    Writer-director Kevin Smith presents his most personal film to date with this coming-of-age story— set in the summer of 1986 — that follows three sixteen-year-old friends who spend their Saturdays sneaking into movies at the local cineplex. When one of the guys invites the girl of his dreams to see an R-rated film, all hilarity breaks loose, as a self-important theater manager (Ken Jeong) and teen rivalries interfere with his best-laid plans. Justin Long, Rosario Dawson, Jason Biggs, and more contribute outrageous characters to this poignant comic valentine to moviegoing and the youth of the '80s.

    • Aaron Sorkin's 'The West Wing: The Complete Series' Is Elected to Blu-ray October 1st

      Posted Wed Sep 18, 2024 at 11:47 AM PDT by
      The West Wing - The Complete Series Blu-ray Aaron Sorkin

      Alright physical media fans, who is ready for the ultimate walk-n-talk? Aaron Sorkin's Emmy-winning drama, The West Wing is coming to Blu-ray on October 1st. Celebrating its 25th Anniversary, all 156 episodes (that's around 6617 minutes) will arrive on disc.  

      Remember that time when you could sit back, take a breath, and actually feel good about your elected officials? No I don't mean the Clinton years or the innocuous early days of the Bush administration. I mean when you could turn on NBC and catch the latest episode of Aaron Sorkin's The West Wing. Well, now you can enjoy all seven seasons of the Bartlit Administration and the numerous classic Walk-n-Talks in 1080p! All 156 episodes of the show will be coming to 28 Blu-ray discs this October. We don't have full specs on aspect ratios and audio format, but we do expect them to mirror the show's current streaming presentation. We also don't have a full list of extra features, but from the details expect most of the DVD content to carry over. I'm personally not thrilled with the choice of cases, individual seasons in standard Blu-ray cases would be much nicer, regardless it'll be great to have the full set in 1080p on disc.

    • Eureka Unleashes Martial Arts Fury with 'Super Spies and Secret Lies' & 'The Sword' on Blu-ray November 19th!

      Posted Wed Sep 18, 2024 at 08:40 AM PDT by
      Eureka Films - Super Spies and The Sword Coming to Blu-ray November 2024

      Three "undercover classics" from the Shaw Brothers will be coming in a limited edition Blu-ray boxed set from Eureka Entertainment on November 19.  A limited edition Blu-ray of The Sword will also be available on the same date.  

      The films included in the boxed set are The Golden Buddha, Angel with the Iron Fists and The Singing Thief.  The release will be limited to 2000 copies (per territory) and will exclusively feature an O-card slipcase, and a collector’s booklet.

      In The Golden Buddha, businessman Paul (Paul Chang Chung, Police Story) finds himself in the crosshairs of the Skeleton Gang after he picks up the wrong briefcase on a flight to Singapore – one containing a small golden Buddha that might just play a part in a vast criminal conspiracy. In Angel with the Iron Fists, a mysterious woman (Lily Ho, Lady with a Sword) arrives in Hong Kong carrying a cache of stolen diamonds and quickly becomes embroiled with the infamous Devil Girl’s Gang. Finally, in The Singing Thief, a master cat burglar (Jimmy Lin Chong, Tropicana Interlude) makes the decision to go straight and pursue a new career as a singer – that is, at least, until he becomes a suspect in a series of jewel heists.

      Directed by studio regulars Lo Wei (The Big Boss) and Chang Cheh (The One-Armed Swordsman), The Golden Buddha, Angel with the Iron Fists and The Singing Thief filter a craze for films centered on super-spies and master criminals through the inimitable style of the Shaw Brothers Studio. All three films are presented on Blu-ray for the first time from HD masters supplied by Celestial Pictures.

      The Sword 

       

      Best known as a key contributor to the Hong Kong New Wave as the director of My Heart is That Eternal Rose and the editor of Wong Kar-wai's Days of Being Wild and Ashes of Time, Patrick Tam began his filmmaking career with The Sword: a love letter to the wuxia genre starring Adam Cheng (Zu Warriors from the Magic Mountain).

      Believing that he is in possession of a cursed blade, the legendary swordsman Hua Qian Shu (Tien Feng, King Boxer) has retreated from the martial arts world to live in peaceful seclusion. However, his retirement has done nothing to dampen his reputation; a young warrior, Li Mak-jan (Cheng), wishes to challenge the master in order to test his own sword-fighting skill. But as Li searches for the reclusive Hua Qian Shu so that he might face him in combat, he finds himself entangled with old lovers and new rivals. Soon, it becomes apparent that the old master's sword really might be cursed – and will, perhaps, bring nothing but tragedy to those who seek to wield it.

      After a period of dormancy, wuxia films resurged in the 1980s as the likes of Duel to the Death, Bastard Swordsman and Tsui Hark's Zu Warriors from the Magic Mountain rejected the realist approach adopted by kung fu cinema in the previous decade. Eureka Classics is proud to present Patrick Tam's The Sword – one of the earliest and best pictures to emerge from this wuxia revival – for the first time on Blu-ray in the UK from a brand new 2K restoration.

      • Optional English subtitles, newly translated for this release

      • Limited edition O-card slipcase featuring new artwork by Grégory Sacré (Gokaiju)

    • The Criterion Collection Unwraps Their Packed December 4K UHD & Blu-ray Slate

      Posted Mon Sep 16, 2024 at 10:59 AM PDT by
      The Criterion Collection December 2024 Blu-ray & 4K Ultra HD

      Not that it's ever cheap to be a physical media collector during the holidays, but Criterion isn't doing us any favors. Big hits from Sammo Hung, the Coen Brothers, Fellini, and Wim Wenders all join the collection. 

      Criterion offers up an eclectic new slate to their carefully curated collection of films. Now, a couple of these aren't too surprising,  and Paris Texas are already on Blu-ray so we're getting welcome (if expected) upgrades. The biggest news is No Country for Old Men - the Coen Brothers' Oscar-winning thriller from the Cormac McCarthy classic novel is very good news. It was a big hitter on Blu-ray in its day, but a 4K Dolby Vision upgrade supervised by Roger Deakins is very exciting! Completing the eclectic list is Samo Hung's slick action classic Eastern Corridors - sadly only on Blu-ray but still should be a good disc. 

      Here's what we're getting for the final month of 2024

      No Country for Old Men - The Criterion Collection 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray 

       

      2007 • 122 minutes • Color • 5.1 surround • 2.39:1 aspect ratio 

      A deadly game of chance and destiny plays out against the stark backdrop of early-1980s West Texas in Joel and Ethan Coen’s powerful adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s novel. When he happens upon more than two million dollars from a drug deal turned desert massacre, a retired welder and Vietnam veteran (Josh Brolin) sets into motion a wave of senseless, inexorable violence as he’s stalked across the plains by a soul-weary sheriff (Tommy Lee Jones) and a psychopathic hit man (Javier Bardem). Winner of four Academy Awards—including Best Picture, and Best Supporting Actor for the indelibly disturbing Bardem—this darkly deadpan borderlands noir keeps both the tension and the existential unease mounting through each cruelly ironic twist of fate.

      DIRECTOR-APPROVED SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES

      • New 4K digital master, supervised and approved by director of photography Roger Deakins, with 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack
      • In the 4K UHD edition: One 4K UHD disc of the film presented in Dolby Vision HDR and one Blu-ray with the film and special features
      • New conversation between filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen and author Megan Abbott
      • New conversation between Deakins and associate producer David Diliberto, also featuring Abbott
      • Archival interviews with actors Javier Bardem, Josh Brolin, Tommy Lee Jones, and Kelly Macdonald 
      • Behind-the-scenes documentary by Brolin
      • Three documentaries about the making of the film featuring on-set footage and interviews with members of the cast and crew 
      • English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing
      • PLUS: An essay by author Francine Prose and a 2007 piece on the film by author Larry McMurtry 

      Blu-ray Edition Also Coming

      8½ - The Criterion Collection 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray 

       

      1963 • 138 minutes • Black & White • Monaural • In Italian with English subtitles • 1.85:1 aspect ratio 

      Marcello Mastroianni plays Guido Anselmi, a director whose new project is collapsing around him, along with his life. One of the greatest films about film ever made, Federico Fellini’s 8½ turns one man’s artistic crisis into a grand epic of the cinema. An early working title for 8½ was The Beautiful Confusion, and Fellini’s masterpiece is exactly that: a shimmering dream, a circus, and a magic act. Also featured is Fellini’s rarely-seen first film for television, Fellini: A Director’s Notebook (1969). Produced by Peter Goldfarb, this “imagined documentary” of Fellini on Fellini is a kaleidoscope of unfinished projects, all of which provide a fascinating and candid window into the director’s unique creative process.

      4K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES

      • New 4K digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack
      • One 4K UHD disc of the film and one Blu-ray with the film and special features
      • Introduction by filmmaker Terry Gilliam
      • Audio commentary featuring film critics Gideon Bachmann and Antonio Monda
      • Fellini: A Director’s Notebook, a short film by Federico Fellini
      • The Last Sequence, a documentary on Fellini’s lost alternate ending for 8½
      • Nino Rota: Between Cinema and Concert, a documentary about Fellini’s longtime composer
      • Interviews with actor Sandra Milo, filmmaker Lina Wertmüller, and cinematographer Vittorio Storaro
      • Rare photographs from Bachmann’s collection
      • Gallery of behind-the-scenes and production photos
      • Trailer
      • PLUS: An essay by film critic Stephanie Zacharek

      Paris, Texas - The Criterion Collection 4k Ultra HD Blu-ray 

       

      1984 • 145 minutes • Color • 5.1 surround • 1.66:1 aspect ratio

      New German Cinema pioneer Wim Wenders brings his keen eye for landscape to the American Southwest in Paris, Texas, a profoundly moving character study written by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Sam Shepard. Paris, Texas follows the mysterious, nearly mute drifter Travis (a magnificent Harry Dean Stanton, whose face is a landscape all its own) as he tries to reconnect with his young son, living with his brother (Dean Stockwell) in Los Angeles, and his missing wife (Nastassja Kinski). From this simple setup, Wenders and Shepard produce a powerful statement on codes of masculinity and the myth of the American family, as well as an exquisite visual exploration of a vast, crumbling world of canyons and neon.

      DIRECTOR-APPROVED 4K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION

      • New 4K digital restoration, supervised and approved by director Wim Wenders, with 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack 
      • One 4K UHD disc of the film presented in Dolby Vision HDR and one Blu-ray with the film and special features
      • Audio commentary featuring Wenders

      • English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing
      • PLUS: An essay by film critic Nick Roddick; interviews with Stanton, writer Sam Shepard, and actors Nastassja Kinski and Dean Stockwell; and excerpts from Wenders’ book of photos Written in the West

      Eastern Condors - The Criterion Collection Blu-ray 

       

      1987 • 98 minutes • Color • Monaural • In Cantonese with English subtitles • 2.39:1 aspect ratio

      Legendary actor-director Sammo Hung delivers a bazooka blast of pure adrenaline in this exemplar of Hong Kong action cinema at its most entertaining. Drawing inspiration from Hollywood war films like The Dirty Dozen, Eastern Condors follows a ragtag band of Asian American prisoners dropped into Vietnam on a secret suicide mission to prevent a cache of weapons from falling into the hands of the Viet Cong, who are more than ready for a fight. Propelled by a dynamic ensemble cast that includes the ever-charismatic Yuen Biao as a black-market trader and a superhuman Yuen Wah as a giggling martial-arts monster, this rip-roaring spectacle offers a nonstop barrage of turbocharged set pieces that defy death, logic, and gravity itself.

      BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES

      • 2K digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack
      • New audio commentary featuring film critic Tony Rayns
      • 2K digital restoration of the English-dubbed “export cut” of the film

    • Imprint Films Reveals a Quartet of 4K UHD Limited Editions Arriving this November

      Posted Thu Aug 29, 2024 at 09:33 AM PDT by
      Imprint Films November 4K UHD Announcement

      The Australian distributor is preparing 4K UHD limited edition releases of Sam Peckinpah's Convoy (1978), Richard Attenborough's A Bridge Too Far (1977), Stephan Elliott's The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994), and The NeverEnding Story (1984) - which will be arriving on November 27. 

      Throughout the week Australia's Via Vision Entertainment's Imprint Films label has been teasing physical media collectors with new announcements, one day at a time. We now have the full list and it's a collection of heavy hitters and fan favorites to make space for!

      Convoy - 4K UHD Imprint Films Limited Edition (Australian Import)

      Convoy - 4K UHD Imprint Films Limited Edition (Australian Import)

      Convoy (1978) Imprint Collection #368

      Make way for Sam Peckinpah’s 1978 action-comedy, now roaring onto 4K UHD in a NEW 4K restoration.

      Kris Kristofferson stars as Martin ‘Rubber Duck’ Penwald, forced to go on the run after an encounter with corrupt Sheriff 'Dirty' Lyle Wallace (Ernest Borgnine). As other truckers hear the news, the decision is made to form a mile-long ‘convoy’, to take a stand against the abusive sheriff and the problematic 55mp/h speed limit. Teeming with explosive cargo, a highly public standoff escalates to a point of no return… 

      Also starring Ali MacGraw, Burt Young, Franklyn Ajaye and Madge Sinclair, this thrilling film was Peckinpah’s most commercially successful venture. Although Peckinpah's rough cut was rejected by EMI and is now lost, we are proud to include a 115 minute Extended Cut on a bonus Blu-ray disc in our release, featuring five extra minutes of footage.

      Our strictly Limited Edition 3-Disc Hardbox is jam-packed with brand NEW Special Features that delve into the history of this classic piece of film history with Peckinpah scholar Mike Siegel and expert contributors.

      “Back in 1978, CONVOY was the very first Peckinpah film I ever saw, hence I have a soft spot in my heart for it. It was a very troubled production which gave me the opportunity to create hours of supplements to preserve its chaotic, interesting and even entertaining backstory for future generations. With the new 4K restoration, the extra footage and new supplements, this will be the ultimate home video release for CONVOY, for all time.” - Mike Siegel

      Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In

      Well Go USA is bringing Soi Cheang's (Mad Fate) action-packed martial arts crime thriller Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In to 4K UHD Blu-ray and Blu-ray on November 19. Digital will arrive on September 3.

      The Observer called this first installment of a proposed trilogy “wildly entertaining, eye-poppingly violent triad martial arts flick" and special features will include: All-New English Dub, Behind-the-Scenes Content, Cast Interviews, and a Making-of Featurette.

      Many years after the bloody turf war that ushered in an uneasy era of peace in Hong Kong’s underworld, the notorious Kowloon Walled City serves as a fortified, lawless safe haven for gangs and refugees alike. But when a skilled underground fighter runs afoul of the most feared Triad boss in Hong Kong, a bounty is placed on his head despite his connections to the leader of the infamous enclave. As his pursuers violate the tenuous territorial truce to exact their vengeance, the fallout reignites old grudges, bringing decades of building tension to a brutal, bloody boiling point.

      Warner Brothers celebrates the 85th anniversary of Victor Fleming's timeless classic family musical The Wizard of Oz with a 4K UHD Theater Edition Giftset on November 5.

      Not only does the 85th Anniversary Theater Edition include a 4K UHD disc (with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, a Blu-ray disc, and a digital code, the release also comes with commemorative steelbook packaging, a reproduction of the original program, a reproduction of the film’s premiere invitation, reproductions of 8 original lobby cards, reproductions of 2 original poster cards, and a reproduction of the film’s original movie ticket. This is a must-have for any film collector!

      The Wizard of Oz was nominated for five Oscars including Best Picture and won Best Song ("Over The Rainbow") and Best Original Score - as well as a special Outstanding Juvenile Performance award for Judy Garland. The film was also part of the inaugural group of films selected for preservation in the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress for being culturally, historically, and aesthetically significant.

      The 2017 remaster used an 8K 16bit scan of the original Technicolor camera negative which became the basis for the 4K UHD scan. The process was overseen by MPI colorist Janet Wilson, who oversaw every remaster of The Wizard of Oz for the past 20 years.

      Adapted from L. Frank Baum’s timeless children’s tale about a Kansas girl’s journey over the rainbow, The Wizard of Oz officially premiered at Grauman’s Chinese Theater on August 15, 1939. The film was directed by Victor Fleming (who that same year directed Gone With the Wind), produced by Mervyn LeRoy, and scored by Herbert Stothart, with music and lyrics by Harold Arlen and E.Y. Harburg. Ray Bolger appeared as the Scarecrow; Bert Lahr as the Cowardly Lion, Jack Haley as the Tin Woodman. Frank Morgan was seen in six different roles, including that of the "wonderful Wizard" himself. Dorothy was portrayed by a 4'11" sixteen-year-old girl who quickly earned her reputation as “the world’s greatest entertainer”-- the incomparable Judy Garland.

I always try to dig deep thematically while also offering some real obscurities for our genre-savvy audience, and I think this new box set delivers on both counts.

We’re enormously proud to unleash its spirit upon the world.”

      Unquiet spirits have gathered once again: ALL THE HAUNTS BE OURS – VOLUME TWO brings together 24 films representing 18 countries for more of the best-loved, rarely seen, thought-lost and brand-new classics of folk horror, most making their International and/or North American disc debuts including the Worldwide Premieres of the Severin Films productions TO FIRE YOU COME AT LAST directed by Sean Hogan and the documentary SUZZANNA: THE QUEEN OF BLACK MAGIC directed by David Gregory; 55+ combined hours of new and archival Special Features including trailers, interviews, audio commentaries, short films, video essays, historical analyses and bonus feature-length films; a 252-page hardcover of newly commissioned folk horror fiction by luminaries that include Ramsey Campbell, Cassandra Khaw and Eden Royce with illustrations by Drazen Kozjan; and much more, all curated and produced by WOODLANDS DARK AND DAYS BEWITCHED creator Kier-La Janisse.
