Summer movie season continues in 4K with this winner from 1984. I remember seeing it one because my parents needed something to take the kids to, so I had no idea a video game would lead to real space battles, though that hook would’ve certainly got me in. In 4K deep space looks as epic […]
The Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves 4K UHD (and DVD or Blu-ray editions) will give you a little tidbit about fan favorite character Jarnathan. He’s one of the film’s many creatures discussed in a 10 minute bonus feature. Legacy Effects’ Shane Mahon describes the costume. “He’s walking on basically an articulate pair of high […]
My favorite horror movie is now on 4K UHD. I always loved The People Under the Stairs as a kids vs. parents tale, like an R-rated Home Alone, but it holds up even more as the 1% oppressors getting their comeuppance. I still admire Fool (Brandon Quintin Adams)’s bravery going back in. I don’t know […]
As summer begins here’s a pivotal summer movie. In summer of T2 and Robin Hood, Thelma & Louise rocked the nation. Thanks to the Criterion Collection, Thelma & Louise comes to 4K UHD. The desert never looked so dry on film before. The 4K transfer doesn’t push the cliche orange sunny glow. It’s bright without […]
Us Rocky fans surely didn’t miss Creed III in theaters. The film’s epic opening weekend suggests most of us were there the first night. But we also want to add the film to our Rocky collection and the 4K UHD joins the other Creeds and first four Rockys nicely. It’s too bad they did not […]
M. Night Shyamalan’s latest, Knock at the Cabin, takes place in one location. It’s not the most extravagant location, but the woods outside the cabin look beautiful in 4K UHD. The cabin itself has a nice rustic wood interior too, and the light changes the later it gets in the day. The thriller has effective […]
The In the Line of Duty series is a long running Hong Kong female cop franchise. It began with Michelle Yeoh but continued even more prolifically with Cynthia Khan. Like the Tiger Cage movies released last week, In the Line of Duty films add martial arts and Hong Kong stunts to fairly generic cop dramas, […]
While a 4K UHD set that included every Superman movie would be nice, at least through Superman Returns like the Blu-rays, it makes sense to single out the Christopher Reeve entries. These all maintain a similar aesthetic and the first movie was already upgraded to 4K. Though different directors would come in, each of the […]
Hong Kong action cinema has a great tradition of cop movies, not just the headliners Police Story and Hard Boiled. In the Line of Duty is coming out next week, but first Shout! Factory has the Tiger Cage trilogy. Like Duty, these are three standalone cop movies, though all three of these are directed […]
It’s a shame Cocaine Bear didn’t get a 4K UHD because it would have been fun to see all that gore and bear rampage. The Blu-ray still looks bright and colorful with ‘80s pastels, and it has some fun extra features too. In the alternate ending, one of the bear’s victims survives. I’m not telling […]
