Stuart has reviewed Warner Archive’s James Cagney Collection on Blu-ray, which includes The Public Enemy (1931), White Heat (1949), Angels with Dirty Faces (1938), and Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942).

And finally, Stephen has delivered his take on Michael Winner’s Death Wish II (1982) on Blu-ray from KL Studio Classics, as well as P. T. Anderson’s Boogie Nights (1997) in 4K Ultra HD from Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment!

Okay, we’re experiencing a couple of website issues today that are requiring work on both our hardware and software here at The Bits. But while we do that, I wanted to knock out a quick news update in the event we have to take a couple days off from posting. So we’ve got more big catalog 4K news for you this morning, including a big follow-up on the news we posted here on Tuesday!

But first, we’ve got more new disc reviews for you as well...

Stephen has turned in his thoughts on Richard Attenborough’s Gandhi (1983), as newly re-issued in 4K Ultra HD Steelbook packaging from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment

Tim has reviewed Terrell O. Morse’s Unknown World (1951) on Blu-ray from Severin Films.

And Dennis has offered his take on Steven Soderbergh’s The Good German (2006) on Blu-ray from Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment.

Now then, the big news is that our friends at The Criterion Collection have officially announced a title that we first mentioned here at The Bits on Tuesday (and last Sunday on our Digital Bits Patreon page for subscribers): They are indeed releasing The Wes Anderson Archive as a 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray box set on September 30th!

Afternoon Bits readers! We hope you all had a good weekend—a good long Memorial Day weekend for those of you who live here in the States.

We’ve got some great 4K catalog release news for you here today, but first we have more new disc reviews...

First up, I’ve reviewed Ridley Scott’s Kingdom of Heaven: Director’s Cut (2005) in 4K Ultra HD from 20th Century Studios via Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. It’s a fantastic release that streets on Tuesday. But we know it’s been hard to pre-order, so we’re waiting to hear back from Sony on the demand issue and we’ll let you know when we do. In the meantime, my review is lengthy and in-depth, so enjoy.

Also, Stephen has reviewed David Cronenberg’s The Brood (1979) in 4K Ultra HD from Second Sight Films.

Tim has shared his thoughts on Gordon Flemying’s Dr. Who and the Daleks (1965) in Blu-ray from Severin Films.

And finally, Dennis has offered his take on Roger Kumble’s Just Friends (2005) on Blu-ray from the Warner Archive Collection.

Now then, the big news today is that the Criterion Collection is working on a 10-film Wes Anderson Collection for release later this year! [Read on here...]
