All right, it’s been a busy week here at The Bits. And we’ve got a bunch of ground to cover today, so let’s get right to it.

First, some a couple of disc reviews…

Tim has completed his exhaustive coverage of Severin Films new Doctor Who releases with a look at both the Blu-ray and 4K versions of their Total Extermination: The Peter Cushing Doctor Who Collection, which includes Dr. Who and the Daleks (1965) and Daleks’ Invasion Earth 2150 AD (1966).

And we have a lot more new disc reviews on the way. For my part, I’m currently working on a review of a major upcoming Criterion 4K title, and of course I’ll be finishing up our Bond 4K reviews as well early next week.

In terms of announcement news today, we have a bunch of stuff to report, starting with the fact that Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has just officially announced that they’re releasing Peter Yates’ Krull (1983) in 4K Ultra HD Steelbook on 9/16! [Read on here...]

We start as always today with more new disc reviews, including…

Stephen’s look at Jonathan Demme’s Last Embrace (1979) in 4K Ultra HD from Vinegar Syndrome’s excellent Cinématographe line, as well as John Waters’ Cry-Baby (1990) in 4K Ultra HD from Kino Lorber Studio Classics.

Stuart’s reviews of Andrzej Żuławski’s L’important c’est d’Aimer... (1975) on Blu-ray from Film Movement via Vinegar Syndrome, along with John Guillermin’s The Whole Truth (1958) on Blu-ray from Powerhouse Films’ Indicator label.

And Dennis’ take on Boaz Yakin’s Fresh (1994) on Blu-ray from Via Vision’s Imprint Films.

Now then, there’s some exciting release news for us to share with you today, but first we want to take a moment to clear up some confusion: The Warner Archive Collection is still the Warner Archive Collection!

Many of you have probably seen that their Facebook page was suddenly rebranded as Warner Classics (click here for the link). But rest assured, the Warner Archive Collection remains! Warner is simply trying to unite all of its “classic film” marketing activity in one social media space. So while the Warner Archive Collection remains the core of this page, you’ll also learn here about forthcoming classic film releases on Blu-ray and 4K UHD from the studio proper, as well as theatrical screening activity, and the like. So everyone can relax—Warner Archive has not disappeared!

In fact, Warner Archive has just shared some excellent release news: The Looney Tunes Collector’s Choice: Volume 4 Blu-ray is officially coming on 11/26! You can see their official Facebook post here. Details of the actual shorts the set will include are yet to be announced, but the release is definitely now in production. Great news indeed!
