Kong: Skull Island on 7/18, Batman & Harley Quinn, Orphan Black: S5 & FUNimation’s Speed Racer BD reviewed

by Bill Hunt

To kick things off today, I’ve got a new review for you: A look at FUNimation’s Speed Racer: The Complete Series Blu-ray, a release I’ve waited years to see. Speed was the first Japanese anime series I ever saw, way back in the late 1960s, long before anyone had any idea what an anime was. Let me tell you, the show looks great in HD; FUNimation has done a really nice job of it. Best of all, the set streeted on Tuesday for just $20 on Amazon.

Now then... some announcements... [Read on here…]

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment is about to officially announce the release of Kong: Skull Island on Blu-ray, Blu-ray 3D, DVD, and 4K Ultra HD, with a street date of 7/18. Extras on the Blu-ray versions will include the 2-part Creating a King documentary, the Monarch Files 2.0 Companion Archive, Tom Hiddleston: The Intrepid Reporter, deleted scenes, audio commentary with director Jordan Vogt-Roberts and more. Looks like audio on all the Blu-ray versions will be Dolby Atmos. You can see what may be the final cover artwork below.

Also today, Warner and DC Comics have also set the animated Batman & Harley Quinn for release on Blu-ray, DVD, and 4K Ultra HD on 8/29. Extras will include The3 featurettes (The Harley Effect, Loren Lester: In His Own Voice, and A Sneak Peek at the Next DC Universe Original Movie), plus 2 episodes of Batman: The Animated Series (Harley and Ivy and Harley’s Holiday).

Lionsgate has just set Free Fire for release on Blu-ray and DVD on 7/18.

And the BBC has set Orphan Black: Season Five for release on Blu-ray and DVD on 9/12.
