My Two Cents
Good afternoon, Bits readers! We’ve got the usual mix of news and announcements for you today, but first as always we have more new disc reviews to share with you, including…
Stephen’s look at Peter Berg’s The Rundown (2003) in 4K Ultra HD from Kino Lorber Studio Classics.
And Dennis’ thoughts on Ole Bornedal’s The Nightwatch Collection on Blu-ray from Arrow Video, which includes Nightwatch (1994) and Nightwatch: Demons Are Forever (2023).
More reviews are coming later this week. Tim’s already hard at work on Warner’s The Nightmare on Elm Street 4K box set, Stephen is looking at Sony’s The Quick and the Dead 4K, and I’m going to knock out my thoughts on 20th Century’s The Sound of Music in 4K Ultra HD soon as well.
Also, I wanted to let all of you know that we’ve finally begun updating our 4K Ultra HD Release List here at The Bits once again. I know the page is popular with our readers, but back when we were having server and software issues over the summer, updating the list was one of the things that took a back seat in our mad scramble to get the site back to normal and fully functional once again. All of our 4K reviews have now been linked, and we’ll be working all week long to update all of the studio listings as well. So thanks for your patience! [Read on here...]
