Fans can bring home the “Crocodile” Dundee Trilogy in honor of the 35th anniversary of the first film being released in September 1986. Following the release of the first film in 1986, two sequels would be released in 1988 and 2001. All three films are also available together for the first time in the new Blu-ray collection from Paramount Home Entertainment and include digital copies. Bonus features, however, are light, unfortunately. None of the sequels…

A Clockwork Orange makes its arrival on 4K Ultra HD ahead of December’s 50th anniversary of the film’s 1971 theatrical release. Warner Bros.’ Motion Picture Imaging (MPI) conducted the 4K restoration Leon Vitali, Kubrick’s right-hand man, and the Kubrick Estate also worked with the studio during the remastering process. Because of the graphic violence, the film had been released to polarizing reviews. Kubrick even had the film removed from theaters in British Cinemas at the…

Hardball arrives on Blu-ray for the first time in honor of the film marking its 20th anniversary since being released in theaters. This film is known for being one of the few films to open following the 9/11 attacks earlier in the week. It is certainly a coincidence that the film’s arrival on Blu-ray comes days after the film’s director, Brian Robbins, was promoted as president of Paramount. Meanwhile, we didn’t realize it at the…

The million dollar question heading into the release is who will be replacing Daniel Craig after No Time to Die in the role of James Bond. While I believe that actors like Tom Hardy, Tom Hiddleston, or Henry Cavill would do a good job in the role, there’s a question of if they are too old for the role. With Cavill, he put his foot in his mouth a few years ago when it came…

In what may be one of the quickest theater-to-home releases for a studio tentpole, Black Widow is now available on home video to buy or rent. Before I dive into my thoughts on the film, we need to talk about the end credits. Because the film displays the credits during an opening montage, there is no mid-credit scene. Instead, the scene comes at the very end of the credits. If you’re watching at home, a…

The Shawshank Redemption arrives on 4K Ultra HD for the first time as the film approaches it’s 27th anniversary since its release. Frank Darabont, a screenwriter at the time, made the film his directorial feature debut. Darabont based his script on novella by Stephen King, Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption. He would follow it up a few years later with The Green Mile. In doing so, he is one of six filmmakers to see…

Star Trek: The Original 4-Movie Collection arrives on 4K UHD just in time for the franchise’s 55th anniversary of the first episode in 1966. While this collection includes the first four films starring the original cast, it does not include Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989) or Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991). Perhaps 4K UHD releases will take place down the line? I don’t know. This could be either a Star Trek…

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is looking at screwing over the Oscars ceremony as a way of attracting ratings. The news comes from Matt Belloni’s What I’m Hearing newsletter (via Screen Rant). It’s upsetting to say the least. What the Academy wants to do is move some of the awards to before the show or during commercials. This is not the way. It will not lead to an increase in ratings. In…

In the Heights, the phenomenal film and Broadway adaptation, soars onto 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray for audiences to take in from home. Neither Jon M. Chu or Lin-Manuel Miranda are strangers to diverse productions. Chu hit it big with Crazy Rich Asians a few years ago. Miranda, meanwhile, has had no shortage of hits come from his visionary mind. Both In the Heights and Hamilton were hits on the stage. In a perfect world,…

Bugsy Malone, the gangster musical comedy, is the newest title to join the Paramount Presents line of Blu-rays with collectible packaging. Using children to play the gangsters makes for an interesting premise. However, the one thing that is weird and it is having adult voices coming out of their mouths. It’s weird and both director Alan Parker and songwriter Paul Williams have come to regret the decision since filming. But with having adult voices come…
