All right, we’ve got another release news update for you to round out the week. So let’s get right to it…

All right, we’ve got a few things for you today...

First, our own Michael Coate posted a great new History, Legacy & Showmanship retrospective last night celebrating Steven Spielberg’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind on the occasion of the film’s 40th anniversary. Michael’s column looks back at the film’s initial theatrical run and features another great roundtable discussion of film historians. It’s a good read, so be sure to give it a look.

Now then... a quick commentary. Almost every day, I get asked this question in some form via email or social media: “Why no 3D?” As in: My favorite film was available in 3D in the theater, but how come the studio didn’t release it on Blu-ray 3D for the home? [Read on here…]

First things first today...

We’ve just posted four new disc reviews, including my thoughts on Fox’s Firefly: The Complete Series – 15th Anniversary Collector’s Edition on Blu-ray and Universal’s Serenity in 4K Ultra HD. Tim has also posted a new review of Arrow Video’s George A. Romero: Between Night and Dawn Blu-ray box set. And Jim Hemphill has turned in his thoughts on Criminal Minds: Season 12 on DVD from CBS and Paramount. Do give them a look and, as always, more reviews are coming. [Read on here…]

Yes, it’s true: Our friends at Kino Lorber are seriously considering the release of Sergio Leone’s The Good, the Bad and the Ugly on 4K Ultra HD in 2018, and they’re running a poll to ask for your opinion on the idea.

All right, I’m sure some of you saw our Saturday post here at The Bits, in which we revealed the cover artwork for Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar in 4K from Paramount, as well as all three of his Dark Knight films in 4K from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment. We also revealed a bunch of new an upcoming 4K Ultra HD titles from almost all of the major studios. You’ll find that post here in the event you missed it.

In the meantime, we’ve also got a look at the cover artwork for Warner’s 4K UHD release of Nolan’s Inception as well (see left and below), also due on 12/19, though the title isn’t up for pre-order on Amazon.com yet. [Read on here…]

Afternoon, everyone! We’ve got a couple new disc reviews to start the new week: Tim has taken a look at Umbrella Entertainment’s Aussie (but all-region) Blu-ray edition of Cat’s Eye as well as Shout!

Good afternoon, everyone! So there’s a LOT of ground to cover today, including new announcements and some interesting Blu-ray, DVD, and 4K news that came out of Comic-Con this past weekend.

First, though, Tim has checked in with reviews of three films on Blu-ray – reviews originally written by Adam Jahnke here at The Bits, but updated by Tim to cover Shout! Factory and Scream Factory’s recent Steelbook editions: The Fog, They Live, and Escape from New York. Do give them a look.

Also today, Michael Coate is celebrating the 25th anniversary of Ron Howard’s Far and Away with a new retrospective in his History, Legacy & Showmanship column. Far and Away, as some of you may know, was one of the last high-profile film productions in 70 mm before the recent theatrical resurgence that’s led (most recently) to Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk. Michael details the film’s original theatrical release in 70 mm and also interviews Howard biographer Beverly Gray. The article is well worth your time, as always, so we hope you enjoy it.
