Here's the full look at George A. Romero's personal favorite DAY OF THE DEAD, now available in 4K from Shout! Studios, but there are a couple of caveats:

Here's the full look at the slam-bang Gordon Douglas monster movie classic THEM!, now available in a beautiful new 4K version from @Shout_Studios :

@AlienExorcistt @thedigitalbits Enjoy! It's more fun than a barrel of formicidae.

@thedigitalbits Good review. I just picked this movie up along with a few other new releases. I’ll watch it tonight! 🙂

Bits #4K Review – @stephenbjork revisits 1954's THEM! on #UltraHD from @Scream_Factory. @BillHuntBits (Link in comments below): "Shout’s 4K Ultra HD release is highly, highly recommended for monster movie aficionados, and for pretty much everyone else as well."

@wem51 It's a new disc, yes.

@stephenbjork Is the bluray disc that is included also an upgraded version (except in bluray)? Thanks.

Here's the full look at Vincent Ward's rather singular adaptation of Richard Matheson's WHAT DREAMS MAY COME, now available in a gorgeous new 4K version from Shour! Studios:

Bits #4K Review – @stephenbjork revisits Vincent Ward's visually-stunning 1998 fantasy drama WHAT DREAMS MAY COME, available in a 2-Disc #UltraHD release from @Shout_Studios as part of their Shout Select line. (Link in comments below) #physicalmedia @thedigitalbits “What Dreams May Come certainly deserves a deeper dive into its groundbreaking effects work and design philosophy, but frankly, it’s wonderful enough that it’s been resurrected in 4K at all, and at such a high standard of quality to boot.”

@timsalmons They never caught you last time, so why not?

Looks like I'll be selling that other kidney... that or robbing another bank.

Today on @TheDigitalBits website – @Criterion reveals The Complete Kubrick, plus the Blu-ray Disc format turns 20! thedigitalbits.com/columns/bill-h…

@Voyager_NL @BillHuntBits @Criterion @thedigitalbits These will all probably be the same 4K masters as before, but also probably with a different encode, and there's room for improvement there.

@stephenbjork @BillHuntBits @Criterion @thedigitalbits Ah yes, I'm probably mistaken with that. I had a sliver of a thought that version was used for the last 4k uhd transfer. Thanks! In that case... Will Criterion make a new transfer or will it be reuse?

Well... that looks MIGHTY fine: Behold, THE COMPLETE KUBRICK from @Criterion! @thedigitalbits 1/2 criterion.com/boxsets/9000-t…

Film icon Mickey Rourke (Year of the Dragon) is John Sedley, a petty gangster whose facial deformities earned him the nickname “Johnny Handsome.” When Johnny and a friend are double-crossed during a robbery by two partners, his friend is killed and Johnny is sent to prison. There, a sympathetic surgeon makes a deal to give Johnny a new face—and a new shot at life. Once on the outside, Johnny discovers that staying straight isn’t easy. But his new look does open one door for Johnny—revenge. An electrifying tale from the great Walter Hill, director of The Driver, The Long Riders and Extreme Prejudice, this tough neo-noir thriller features superb performances from Rourke and co-stars Ellen Barkin (The Big Easy), Elizabeth McGovern (The Bedroom Window), Forest Whitaker (Ghost Dog), Scott Wilson (In Cold Blood), Lance Henriksen (Stone Cold) and Morgan Freeman (Se7en).

@Voyager_NL @BillHuntBits @Criterion @thedigitalbits There's no such thing as a Nolan 4K restoration of 2001. You're confusing the 70mm print in circulation a few years ago that Nolan influenced/supervised with the actual 4K home video restoration, which he didn't have anything to do with.

@BillHuntBits @Criterion @thedigitalbits Would 2001 be the latest "Nolan" 4k restoration?

Coming Soon on 4KUHD! Brand New HDR10/Dolby Vision Master! THE HINDENBURG (1975) Starring George C. Scott, Anne Bancroft, William Atherton, Roy Thinnes, Gig Young, Burgess Meredith, Charles Durning, Richard A. Dysart and Joe Turkel – Shot by Robert Surtees (Ben-Hur, The Sting) – Music by David Shire (The Conversation, The Taking of Pelham One Two Three) – Screenplay by Nelson Gidding (Odds Against Tomorrow, The Andromeda Strain) – Screen Story by Richard Levinson (Columbo) and William Link (Murder, She Wrote) – Produced and Directed by Robert Wise (The Body Snatcher, The Set-Up, The Day the Earth Stood Still, West Side Story, The Haunting, The Sound of Music, The Sand Pebbles).

Today, the Blu-ray Disc format turns 20! I wrote about it on @thedigitalbits’s Patreon page here—I think some of you might enjoy it. #physicalmedia patreon.com/TheDigitalBits…
