First thought, we have more new disc reviews for you, including…

Stuart’s take on Richard Thorpe’s Knights of the Round Table (1953) on Blu-ray from the Warner Archive Collection and Otto Preminger’s Bonjour Tristesse (1958) on Blu-ray from Indicator, as well as Steve Ryfle and Ed Godziszewski’s new book Godzilla: The First 70 Years (2025) from Abrams.

And finally, Stephen’s thoughts on Michael Mann’s The Keep (1983) as release in 4K Ultra HD Limited Edition by Imprint Films, and also Peter Yates’ Krull (1983) on 4K Ultra HD Steelbook from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.

Whew!

Now then, the big piece of news today is that Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has officially set Joseph Kosinski’s F1: The Movie (2025) for Blu-ray, DVD, and 4K Ultra HD release on 10/7. The film is already available for Digital sale on all major platforms. [Read on here...]

As expected, extras will include 9 behind-the-scenes featurettes (Inside the F1: The Movie Table Read, The Anatomy of a Crash, Getting Up to Speed, APXGP Innovations, Making it to Silverstone, Lewis Hamilton: Producer, APXGP Sets and Locations Around the World, APXGP and F1: How it was Filmed, and Sound of Speed). The total runtime of these features is just under an hour.

Note that the 4K disc will include both Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos audio.

Also today, Universal has announced a new Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas: 25th Anniversary Edition (2000) for 4K Steelbook release on 11/11. This is the Ron Howard live-action film. All of the legacy special features will carry over, along with a new one: the 25 Years Later: The Gift of the Grinch retrospective featurette with Howard, producer Brian Grazer, make-up artist Rick Baker, and actor Taylor Momsen.

Universal is bringing a new U-571: 25th Anniversary Edition (2000) to 4K Ultra HD and 4K Steelbook on 11/11 as well. All of the previous extras will carry over.

Also coming from Universal on 4K Steelbook is Martin Scorsese’s Casino (1995) as a new 30th Anniversary Steelbook and Sydney Pollack’s Out of Africa (1985) on 11/18. The latter will include Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos audio.

Meanwhile, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment is releasing Miloš Forman’s One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1975) on 4K Ultra HD and 4K Steelbook on 11/1. It appears that will have HDR10 and 5.1 and 2.0 DTS-HD Master Audio, as well as legacy features.

Retail sources also suggest that Warner’s Blu-ray, DVD, and 4K Ultra HD release of Zach Cregger’s Weapons (2025) will street on 10/14.

Lionsgate will release Darren Lynn Bousman’s Saw II (2005), Saw III (2006), and Saw IV (2007) on 4K Steelbook on 10/21.

Lionsgate has also set Antoni Solé’s Foe (2016) for Digital release on 9/30.

Finally today, while we’re talking about horror releases, my friend Alvaro Zinos Amaro has just written a great new blog entry on his The Gulf of Selves blog on Substack, in which is looks not only at Michael Chaves’ The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025) but also examines the horror genre’s popularity with audiences today, which might have something to do with the way it treats its characters’ subjective experiences, and the movie’s objective reality, as having equal weight and importance.
