We’re pleased today to present the final review of Adam’s month-long Hell Plaza Oktoberfest 8 here at The Bits: It’s none other than the 1977 zombie/Nazi classic Shock Waves, directed by Ken Wiederhorn and presented on Blu-ray by Blue Underground! Congrats to Adam on another great Oktoberfest. We trust you all enjoyed it. If you did, be sure to send a little thanks and appreciation to Adam over on his Jahnke’s Electric Theater Facebook page.

Also here at The Bits today, we’ve got Bud Elder’s new View from the Cheap Seats column. This month, Bud asks the question: “What Movies Changed the Way You Look at Life?” He posts his own answer to this question, and challenges each of you to share your own lists too. [Read on here…]

There’s not a lot of release news to report today, but we do have another BD catalog announcement for you: Warner Home Video has revealed that they’ll release American Gigolo on Blu-ray on 2/24/15.

Meanwhile, Well Go USA has set The Lookalike for Blu-ray and DVD release on 2/10/15.

Universal has set Racing Hearts for Blu-ray release on 1/13/15.

The recent Maze Runner is up for BD pre-order on Amazon with an apparent release date of 12/16, but no other details are yet available.

Finally, here’s another catalog announcement: It looks as if Disney’s 101 Dalmatians: Diamond Edition can be expected to hit stores on Blu-ray on 2/10/15. You can see the cover artwork below (along with art for a couple other titles too, including the revised for Twilight Samurai from Twilight Time)...

And that’s it for this week. A very Happy (and safe) Halloween to all of you, and we’ll see you back here on Monday. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for the Great Pumpkin!
