All right, we’ve got a lot of ground to cover today. We have several new disc reviews—at least one from each member of the Bits review team—and plenty of announcement news for you as well. First, those reviews...

First, I’ve posted my review of John Huston’s first film, The Maltese Falcon (1941), in a beautiful new 4K Ultra HD restoration from Warner Bros.

Stephen has reviewed Lucio Fulci’s City of the Living Dead (1980) in 4K Ultra HD from Cauldon Films.

Dennis has turned in his thoughts on Jim McBride’s Breathless (1983) in Blu-ray from Fun City Editions via Vinegar Syndrome.

Stuart has offered his thoughts on Joseph McGrath’s The Bliss of Miss Blossom (1968) on Blu-ray from Kino Lorber Studio Classics, as well as Sam Woods’s Goodbye Mr. Chips (1939) on Blu-ray from the Warner Archive Collection.

And Tim rounds things out with his reviews of William Peter Blatty’s The Exorcist III (1990) in 4K Ultra HD from Scream Factory, as well as Tope Hoper’s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) in 4K Ultra HD from Turbine Medien in Germany.

More new reviews are on the way as well in the coming days, so be sure to keep checking back for them. [Read on here...]

Welcome to the first week of April, everyone!

As you might expect, over the weekend we’ve posted several more new disc reviews for you all to enjoy, including...

My reviews of Jonathan Frakes’ Star Trek: Insurrection (1998) and Stuart Baird’s Star Trek: Nemesis (2002) in 4K Ultra HD from Paramount. That completes my look at all four of the newly-remastered Star Trek: The Next Generation feature films in 4K.

Stuart’s thoughts on Clarence Brown’s Wife vs. Secretary (1936) on Blu-ray from the Warner Archive Collection and Milton Moses Ginsberg’s The Werewolf of Washington (1973) on Blu-ray from Kino Classics.

And last but certainly not least, Stephen’s in-depth review of Wilfred Jackson, Hamilton Luske, and Clyde Geronimi’s original classic animated Cinderella (1950) in 4K Ultra HD from Disney, currently available from the Disney Movie Club, but coming widely later this year.

Key note about Cinderella—it looks like Disney’s actually done this one right, with a stunning 4K remaster that respects the film’s original photochemical production by leaving its line-work, fine detail, and grain structure fully intact! This really bodes well for future 4K animated titles from the studio, and one certainly hopes that all of these original animated classics will be revisited on the format going forward.
