Afternoon, everyone! We’ve got some great breaking news to report here at The Bits today, but first we’ve got more new disc reviews to share with you as always...

Dennis has taken a look at Stephen Frears’ The Grifters (1990) on Blu-ray from the Criterion Collection, as well as Bob Rafelson’s Mountains on the Moon (1990) on Blu-ray from Kino Lorber Studio Classics.

Stuart has offered his thoughts on Terence Young’s Bloodline (1979) on Blu-ray from Vinegar Syndrome, as well as Jean Aurel’s Les Femmes (1969) on Blu-ray from Kino Classics and StudioCanal.

Tim has reviewed Russ Meyer’s Supervixens (1975) in 4K Ultra HD from Severin Films.

And Stephen has given the complete In the Line of Duty I-IV Blu-ray box set a look from 88 Films.

I’ve also gotten my hands on Lionsgate’s new Quentin Tarantino Lionsgate Limited 4K Steelbooks, and I’ll have a review of each of them very soon, starting with Jackie Brown (1997) later today. To give you a tease, the new 4K presentations are terrific, particularly Jackie Brown which is a full 4K scan of original camera negative. But more on those soon.

Now then, as I noted a moment ago, we’ve got great breaking news to report today, starting with the fact that Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment has just made Miloš Forman’s Amadeus official for release in 4K Ultra HD on 2/25. [Read on here...]

Heads up, Digital Bits readers…

We’ve learned that Lionsgate is about to announce the 4K Ultra HD Steelbook release of Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill: Volumes 1 & 2 (2003/2004) along with Jackie Brown (1997).

All three titles should appear for pre-order on their new Lionsgate Limited direct-to-consumer website sometime early tomorrow.

Jackie Brown stars Pam Grier as a flight attendant who smuggles money into the US from Mexico for a small-time crime boss, and who is then used as bait by the police to catch him. The film is based on Elmore Leonard’s 1992 novel Rum Punch.

Kill Bill: Volumes 1 & 2 are Tarantino’s martial arts actioners and an homage to the Shaw Brothers, Toshiya Fujita’s Lady Snowblood (1972), and exploitation cinema. It stars Uma Thurman as a woman who vows to get revenge upon the assassins who tried to kill her and her unborn child. [Read on here...]
