Mission: Impossible 1-5 4K reviews, plus Complete Sartana BD box & Walking Dead: Season 8

by

All right, we’re starting off the new week here at The Bits this afternoon with a whole mess of new Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD reviews...

First up, I’ve spent the weekend going over Paramount’s Mission: Impossible, Mission: Impossible 2, Mission: Impossible III, and Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, all in 4K, with a fine-tooth comb. Those reviews are all up now (just click on the title links), and by the end of the day look for my review of Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol in 4K as well. All are worthy upgrades and they street tomorrow.

Meanwhile, Tim has gone in-depth on Arrow Video’s outstanding new The Complete Sartana 5-film Blu-ray box set. So be sure to give that a look as well. [Read on here...]

Also, Kino Lorber has announced the 9/18 Blu-ray and DVD release of Cabin Boy, directed by Adam Resnick and starring Chris Elliot of David Letterman fame.

By the way, Kino also still has their amazing 50-70% off sale going on over at their website (click here for that). It ends tonight at Midnight, so act fast.

Finally, Lionsgate and AMC have announced the Blu-ray and DVD release of The Walking Dead: The Complete Eighth Season for 8/21. Extras will include audio commentary on three episodes (803, 804, and 816, respectively), along with 3 featurettes (Carl Grimes: Leaving a Legacy, In Memoriam, and The Price of War).

Here’s a look at the cover artwork for both versions of 2001 and also The Walking Dead
