My Two Cents
Afternoon, everyone! We hope you’re having a terrific holiday week or at least very a nice Friday for those of you outside the States.
First up, we’ve posted FOUR new Blu-ray reviews for you to enjoy: Tim has reviewed Shout! Factory’s new Mystery Science Theater 3000: Season 12 – The Gauntlet and Blue Underground’s Two Evil Eyes: Limited Edition. And Dennis has offered his thoughts on Universal’s Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw and the new Criterion release of Irving Rapper’s Now, Voyager (1942). Enjoy!
We’ve got a couple of announcements today: First, there are obviously TONS of Black Friday deals happening over the next few days, including on Amazon.com. So we ask that if you plan to do any shopping on Amazon, we’d appreciate it if you clicked through one of our affiliate links first (like this one). Shopping through our links helps us to support our work here at The Bits going and we really appreciate it very much. [Read on here...]
All right, we’re starting the day today with a brand new 4K Ultra HD review from our own Tim Salmons, and it’s a good one: Synapse Films’ outstanding new UHD release of Dario Argento’s Suspiria (1977). The film is a horror classic and the new 4K restoration and HDR color grade are breathtaking. Don’t miss it.
Now then... in announcement news, Lionsgate has just set Rambo: Last Blood for Blu-ray, DVD, and 4K Ultra HD release on 12/17, with the Digital release expected on 12/3. The 4K disc will include Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos audio.
Extras on all versions will include 2 featurettes (Drawing Last Blood: Multipart Production Diary and From First Note to Last Blood: Music for the Massacres) and the film’s theatrical trailer. You can see the cover artwork above left and also below.
Lionsgate has also set The Courier for release on Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital on 1/21/20. The film stars Gary Oldman and Olga Kurylenko. [Read on here...]
It goes without saying that our readers mean the world to us here at The Digital Bits. Some of you are new to the site while some of you have been following The Bits since we launched way back in 1997—and we love each and every one of you! But for years, you’ve asked us: “When are you guys gonna make Digital Bits T-Shirts?”
Sure, we’ve done a few one-off shirts in the past, not to mention the odd Comic-Con shirt. But now that we live in the age of high quality digital printing and print-on-demand services, we’ve finally taken the all-in plunge. So we’re very proud to announce today that we’ve officially launched The Digital Bits T-Shirt & Swag Store, just in time for your Black Friday and holiday shopping! [Read on here...]
All right, folks... we’ve got some big news to report today. But first...
Our own Tim Salmons has turned in a review of Arrow Video’s awesome new RoboCop: Limited Edition Blu-ray here at The Bits. The 2-disc set comes loaded with cool extras and it looks like the company has knocked the Paul Verhoeven classic out of the part on disc. So here’s the review and enjoy!
Also, don’t forget... there are all kinds of Amazon Countdown to Black Friday Week deals going on this week, so if you’re doing any kind of shopping from Amazon for almost literally anything this week, we’d appreciate it if you’d click through one of our affiliate links (like this one) first. And thank you! [Read on here...]
