It’s a little crazy here at The Bits this week, so today’s news post is going to be a quick one. But we’ve got some more new disc reviews for you, more announcement news, and some new cover artwork too. First the reviews...

Dennis has turned in his thoughts on Harry Keller’s The Brass Bottle (1964) on Blu-ray from Kino Lorber Studio Classics.

Stephen has delivered a look at Alfred Hitchcock’s Number Seventeen (1932), also on Blu-ray from Kino Lorber Studio Classics.

And Tim has reviewed Jimmy Wang Yu’s The Chinese Boxer (1970), a Shaw Brothers title new on Blu-ray from 88 Films, as well as Francois Simard, Anouk Whissell, and Yoann-Karl Whissell’s Summer of 84 (2018) on 4K Ultra HD from Gunpowder & Sky.

All of these are work a look, so do check them out if you’re interested. [Read on here...]

Now then, the big news today is that Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has set Ghostbusters: Afterlife for release on Blu-ray, DVD, and 4K Ultra HD on 2/1 (SRP $24.99, $19.99, and $29.99 respectively). You can see the cover artwork above left and also below. We don’t yet have details on the extras that will be included, but HDR10 high dynamic range and Dolby Atmos audio seem likely in terms of AV specs. That same day you’ll also a Ghostbusters Ultimate Collection on Blu-ray (SRP $55.99) and 4K Ultra HD ($149.99) that will include the original Ghostbusters (1984) along with Ghostbusters II and Ghostbusters: Afterlife. Here’s what that looks like (click on the image to pre-order the set on Amazon)...

Ghostbusters Ultimate Collection (4K Ultra HD)

Meanwhile, Vinegar Syndrome will be releasing Herman Yau’s Ebola Syndrome (1996) on 4K Ultra HD on 1/25.
