We have some good title announcement news to close out the week here at The Bits.

The big news is that our friends at Arrow Video have just unveiled their July slate of 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray titles. It starts out with a pair of tiles available in the UK only: Joe Carnahan’s Narc (2002) (4K UHD + Blu-ray and Blu-ray) on 7/7 and Lucio Fulci’s Zombie Flesh Eaters (1979, aka Zombi 2) (4K UHD + Blu-ray and Blu-ray) on 7/28, each will include both Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos audio (plus legacy audio mixes).

In the UK and US, look for The Nightwatch Collection (Blu-ray)—which includes Ole Bornedal’s Nightwatch (1994) and Nightwatch: Demons are Forever (2023)—on 7/22.

And in the UK, US, and Canada, look for Chris Skotchdopole’s Crumb Catcher (2023) (Blu-ray) on 7/15, George P. Cosmatos’ Cobra (1986) (4K UHD + Blu-ray) on 7/22, and Larry Cohen’s The Stuff (1985) (4K UHD + Blu-ray) on 7/22. Both Cobra and The Stuff will include Dolby Vision HDR.

You can see what the packaging looks like for all of these below the break. [Read on here...]

All right, I’m working on more of that 4K coverage I promised earlier this week, but meanwhile we’ve got a pair of regular Blu-ray reviews for you today. Jim Hemphill has delivered a look at Shout! Factory’s The Gong Show Movie, a long-sought after home video rarity on disc in HD, and Tim Salmons checks in with a review of Arrow Video’s Region A version of The Stuff on Blu. Do give them both a look.  [Read on here…]

We’re starting things off today with another installment of Tim Salmons’ new Dailies feature, Pick-Ups. This week, Tim reviews an older Criterion title on Blu-ray, Orson Welles’ F for Fake, as well as a pair of UK/Region B Blu-ray titles from Arrow, including Time Bandits and The Stuff. Do check them out.

Also here at The Bits today, our own Russell Hammond has posted the weekly update of the Release Dates & Artwork section, featuring all the latest Blu-ray and DVD cover artwork and Amazon.com pre-order links. As always, a portion of anything you order from Amazon through our links goes to help support our work here and we truly do appreciate it.  [Read on here…]

Welcome back to my new Dailies feature, Pick-Ups!

It’s designed to feature older Blu-ray releases that we haven’t gotten around to reviewing until now (sorry about that!), as well as select international releases and other unique titles on disc.

I’ll be doing this column on a weekly basis, so be sure to check back regularly for new titles that are worthy of your attention. [Read on here…]
