Welcome to another look at highlights arriving on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD. After a slow edition, this latest one sees the release of, well, an enormous number of movies. It’s incredibly busy, meaning just about every genre and style is represented here. So, if you can’t make it out to the movies this week, be sure to give one of these titles a try!
BIG NEW RELEASES!
ANIMAL FARM – Based on the classic George Orwell novella, this animated tale follows a group of farm animals who stage a rebellion and take control of the property. As they set-up a new government, the pigs seize leadership and begin to enact new and brutal rules on the population. Orwell’s original story was a satire of communism (with the author’s followup, 1984, taking on far-right governments). A 1954 animated adaptation of the book is considered a masterpiece, but the latest attempt failed to win over critics. About one-third appreciated what the picture was trying to say and thought that it would spark plenty of conversation between kids and parents. But the vast majority felt this was a weak retelling of the story, sanitizing many elements, confusing the story’s message, and weakening its own impact on viewers. This title is available in a Blu-ray/DVD combo pack. The voice cast includes Seth Rogen, Steve Buscemi, Glenn Close, Kieran Culkin, Woody Harrelson, Jim Parsons, Andy Serkis, Kathleen Turner and many others.
CALLE MALAGA – This multi-national, foreign-language production is set in Tangier, Morocco. After her daughter decides to sell the family home, her aging mother resists moving out. The parent argues and causes trouble with her offspring, fighting to remain and save her belongings, which have been acquired over her entire life. Naturally, all of these items have a deeper meaning as the story unfolds, and it leads to the rediscovery of a romantic relationship. Reaction towards this drama was very upbeat. One or two reviewers found the story predictable and lacking in dramatic tension. However, everyone else referred to the picture as engaging, with a great lead performance and a compelling script dealing with themes like loss and regret. For now, this is a DVD-only release. It stars Carmen Maura, Marta Etura, Ahmed Boulane and Maria Alfonsa Rosso.
THE CHRISTOPHERS – The latest feature from Steven Soderbergh (Out of Sight, Traffic, Ocean’s Eleven, Contagion, Logan Lucky, Black Bag) is a dark comedy about a once-famous painter, now retired and living out his final days. The artist’s children, hoping to earn themselves a nice inheritance for the future, hire a forger to complete some of their dad’s unfinished canvases. But naturally, such an undertaking ends up drawing unwanted attention and scrutiny. This picture was ranked highly by the press. A small number didn’t care for any of the main characters and weren’t invested in whether they failed or succeeded. But all others commented that the film was very clever, with great performances and plenty of twists and turns that would keep the attention of viewers throughout. The cast includes Michaela Coel, Ian McKellen, Jessica Gunning, James Corden and Daniel Fearn.
DEEP WATER – A group of passengers on a commercial flight from Los Angeles to China experience trouble in the air and end up crashing in the Pacific Ocean. That’s horrific enough, but as it turns out the waters are soon infested with hungry sharks. Those who survive the initial impact must work together on the floating wreckage to survive the ordeal until help arrives. Write-ups for this disaster/thriller/horror feature from Renny Harlin (Cliffhanger, Deep Blue Sea) were more positive than negative. About one-third did complain that the movie was little more than a throwback to old disaster pictures, with thinly written characters and a predictable plot. However, the consensus was that this effort proved to be surprisingly entertaining, delivering enough B-movie action, thrills and amusing one-liners to earn it a solid recommendation. Aaron Eckhart, Ben Kingsley, Angus Sampson, Lucy Barrett and Richard Crouchley headline the picture.
EDGAR ALLAN POE’S THE MUMMY – This American micro-budget, direct-to-disc effort (IMDb lists that the production cost roughly $3000 dollars) has been timed to arrive on disc at the same time as a studio title involving another creature wrapped in bandages. Presumably, the hope is that you might mix them up online or on the store shelves. The filmmakers here claim that this film is based on the short story “Some Words with a Mummy” and involves an Egyptian priest who raises an ancient wrapped figure from the dead. One assumes the same villainous figure uses the creature to do his bidding, while two detectives and a college professor set out to stop the monster before their entire town is ravaged. As noted, no one has seen this picture at present and it is debuting on disc and streaming sites. The cast includes George Stover, Jeff Angel, Deron Morgan, Tara Bixler and Leanna Chamish.
IP MAN: KUNG FU LEGEND – The famous mythic Chinese martial artist was recently the central character in a series of Ip Man films starring Donnie Yen. That series ended and a new one starring Dennis To started fresh with Ip Man: Kung Fu Master in 2021. Set in the 1950s, this follow-up finds the title character quitting his job with the police force and setting out to start his own martial arts academy. Unfortunately, an underhanded Western investor attempts to buy up all the schools in the area. With even those around him selling out, Ip Man must stand tall and fight them all off. This production from China has only been seen by a handful of critics in this part of the world. Those who have seen it state that the characters are paper-thin and that the story is told in a too familiar way, but if you can overlook those flaws the fight scenes are well-staged and entertaining. The film is available as a 4K Ultra HD disc or a Blu-ray-only release. Besides To, it also stars Zhou Xiaofei, Zhang Tingfei and Steven Dasz.
LEE CRONIN’S THE MUMMY – Also known simply as The Mummy, this major studio reboot of the famous monster movie focuses on a news reporter and his family living abroad in Cairo, Egypt. When their daughter is kidnapped, the group are frustrated by the lack of progress made by authorities. Many years later when the family have returned to the US, they receive word that their child has been found and is being sent to them. But upon her arrival, she exhibits dangerous, almost supernatural behavior that none of the relatives can cope with. The final product split the press, with more panning the film than praising it. Almost half complimented the movie for being nasty, gross and also liked that it tried to do something different with the title character. But the majority called the final product terrible, stating that the story was preposterous, the main character’s behavior unrealistic, and that the picture felt more like a lower-tier Evil Dead film (director Lee Cronin helmed Evil Dead Rise) than an actual Mummy movie. It’s available as a 4KUltra HD and Blu-ray Steelbook, a 4K Ultra HD only, and a standalone Blu-ray. The cast includes Jack Reynor, Laia Costa and May Calamawy.
MICHAEL – The subject of this biopic is Michael Jackson, one of the greatest and most successful musical artists of all time. It details the early years of his life, from his childhood performing as part of The Jackson 5, through troubles with his father, and his eventual attempts to break free and start a solo career. In particular, it focuses on the circumstances regarding the recording and release of his iconic album, Thriller, and leaves later years (and controversies) out of the storyline. The press had a mixed-negative reaction to this box-office smash. More than one-third noted that the music and performances were well-captured, and that since the film couldn’t legally deal with later scandals, it focused on Jackson’s early life and told its story well. Yet, most did feel that this was a surface-level biopic that didn’t go deeply enough into the pop star’s psychology. They felt it needed to spend far more time dealing with darker matters in the pop star’s life. The movie is available as a 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray combo, a 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray Amazon exclusive Steelbook, a 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray Walmart exclusive Steelbook, a “Lionsgate Limited” 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray “Collector’s Edition” (available only through their website), as well as a Blu-ray only release. It stars Jaafar Jackson (nephew of Michael Jackson), Nia Long, Colman Domingo, Juliano Valdi and Miles Teller. Read this site’s review of the movie here.
THE MORTUARY ASSISTANT – Based on the 2022 video game, this independent chiller was given a limited release and has been available to stream on Shudder for the past few months. A young woman working as an embalmer in a funeral home finds herself being tormented by a demon. The supernatural force possesses corpses and commits other kinds of nastiness as the protagonist attempts to fight it off. This effort received more pans than it did positive notices. About one-third of write-ups suggested that the movie was well-photographed and had plenty of atmosphere, delivering a few decent jolts over its running time. However, the majority stated that after the first few jump scares, nothing in the film felt fresh or thrilling. They asserted that the events simply repeated themselves and the story’s unrealistic turns took them out of the narrative. It features Willa Holland and Paul Sparks.
NORMAL – A new sheriff arrives in a small, nondescript Minnesota town after the unexpected passing of the previous chief. The recently hired protagonist goes about his duties, dealing with minor incidents involving townspeople, yet can’t help but look into the death of his predecessor. He soon comes to the conclusion that the previous sheriff may have actually been murdered by local figures, who just might be part of a violent crime syndicate. Reviewers generally liked this action/thriller from director Ben Wheatley (Kill List, Sightseers, Free Fire). About one-quarter of write-ups critiqued the screenplay for being messy and filled with plot holes and inconsistencies that ruined their enjoyment. Yet most critics called the film entertainingly wild and crazy, with a great cast, several memorably over-the-top and gruesome moments, and a dark, biting sense of outrageous humor. The title is available as a 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray combo, or a Blu-ray only release. Bob Odenkirk, Lena Hedley, Henry Winkler, Ryan Allen and Billy MacLellan.
OBSESSION – Despite still currently being in the top ten at the box office, this low-budget horror phenomenon is now arriving on disc. The film tells the story of a lonely young man who pines over a co-worker. After buying a trinket that promises to make any wish come true, he decides to use it to make his crush fall in love with him. Things immediately go wrong, as the young employee actually becomes obsessed with him, following him everywhere and seeing all their friends as threats to his attention. Reviewers really liked this picture. A small number punched holes in the plot, didn’t find it scary or funny, and thought the social commentary wasn’t deep or cutting. But the consensus was that this feature was impressively disturbing, showing those of the young filmmaker’s generation that there was a negative side to the lead’s compulsive behaviors. The movie can be purchased as a “Collector’s Edition” 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray combo, or as “Collector’s Edition” Blu-ray only release. Michael Johnston, Inde Navarette, Cooper Tomlinson, Megan Lawless and Andy Richter headline the film.
ONE SPOON OF CHOCOLATE – Also known as RZA’s One Spoon of Chocolate, this action picture comes from rapper RZA (who has directed his fair share of films, like 2012’s The Man with the Iron Fists). An ex-military figure with anger issues gets into trouble with the law. He decides to move to a small, quiet town where he can make a fresh start. Unfortunately, dangerous figures from his past appear to dole out some payback. The protagonist must fight back and also protect the new relationships he has made. Response was mixed towards this picture. Almost half stated that the movie was filled with rage and righteousness, effectively telling a revenge story and delivering a memorable climax. But, slightly more found the pacing slow, and the story itself too simple and cliched to really make a lasting impact on viewers. Shameik Moore, RJ Cyler, Paris Jackson, Rockmund Dunbar and Blair Underwood headline the film.
PILLION – An introverted young man leading an ordinary life meets and falls for the lead of a motorcycle club. He agrees to be the biker’s submissive, and also meets others who share his partner’s lifestyle choices. Initially, it’s all very exciting, but the longer the main character spends spending time with this figure and his acquaintances, the more he begins to wonder if he has swapped one form of subservience for another. Critics were very impressed with this independent feature from the United Kingdom and Ireland, and rated it highly. One or two individuals didn’t find enough drama or heat in this story, calling the film too low-key for the relationships it was presenting. All others were fascinated by the movie, stating that it mixed romantic comedy and dramatic elements in a unique manner, also dealing with complex themes in a direct and effective way. For now, this Blu-ray is only available through the official A24 studio website. It stars Henry Melling, Alexander Skarsgård, Douglas Hodge and Lesley Sharp.
QUEEN OF THE RING – This independent sports drama tells the life story of Mildred Burke, a young housewife in the early 1920s whose life changes after being taken by her husband to a wrestling show. She loves the sport and starts to train, beginning a career in professional wrestling by the mid-1930s, fighting both female and male opponents. Apparently, Burke only lost one competition over the course of her entire career. This movie depicts her less-than-ideal personal relationships and accomplishments in the ring. Reaction to the feature was good. About one-quarter of write-ups did note that while the woman’s story was incredible, the movie told it in an ordinary, unexciting manner that left them cold. Still, the majority thought that while the movie had slow spots, the performances were strong and that it was a compelling and interesting story of a remarkable figure whom everyone should know more about. The cast includes Emily Bett Rickards, Josh Lucas, Tyler Posey, Walton Goggins and Francesca Eastwood.
RISE OF THE SUPER TROMETTES – The latest ultra-low-budget effort from independent film production company Troma is set in, appropriately enough, Tromaville. A virus infects the male populations and turns them into nasty thugs. So, a team of women rise up and fight back against those threatening the female population. And like superheroes, they end up making costumes and using various tools to accomplish their goals. This effort appears to be premiering on disc and streaming services. It hasn’t been seen by mainstream critics and currently there are only a couple of online reviews. Write-ups suggest it is a typical release from the producers, emphasizing gross-out moments and jokes told in bad taste. The notice I read also stated that, despite the decent set-up, it wasn’t the strongest of Troma entries. It features Elizabeth D’Ambrosio, Mercedes, Knotty Peach, Jade Theriault and Lloyd Kaufman (as narrator).
STARBRIGHT – This independent fantasy film is described as a modern fairy tale. During an eclipse, an orphan living in a farming town sees a strange star falling from the sky. The celestial body lands nearby, still faintly glowing. An archangel appears, places the star in a locket, and asks the protagonist to serve as its “guardian”. The youngster and the angel must protect the item from various villainous figures who want to take it for themselves. Very few reviewers have seen the final product, and online write-ups have been mixed. Some call the film flawed, but a sweet throwback to movies of the 1980s, with impressive production values and good performances. Just as many commented that there were plot holes and that the pacing was off. With a nearly two-hour-and-thirty-minute running time, they claimed that it just doesn’t entrance or impress viewers the way it should. The cast includes Alexandra Dowling, John Rhys-Davies, Ted Levine, Elisabeth Rohm, Christine Ebersole, Becky Ann Baker and Gbenga Akinnagbe.
TWO PIANOS – After a series of personal troubles, a promising young French pianist disappears from his home country and becomes a teacher in Japan. Years later, he receives word that his mentor would like him to return to France and perform a live show with her. The protagonist agrees, but after arriving he randomly meets a boy who looks exactly like him, setting off memories and opening old wounds. The lead must deal with his history in order to start anew. This mostly French-language feature (with a bit of English) was well-received by the North American press. A small number of critics called the film overly melodramatic and found the main character passive and difficult to sympathize with. However, most were impressed by the story, stating that the situations revealed were complex, the drama came across as authentic, and that the music was stirring. For now, this is a DVD-only release. It features François Civil, Nadia Tereszkiewicz and Charlotte Rampling.
BLASTS FROM THE PAST!
It’s just as busy an edition if you’re looking for older titles. Arrow Video is presenting a “Limited Edition” 4K Ultra HD and “Limited Edition” Blu-ray of Red Sun (1971). This is an international production helmed by Terence Young (From Russia with Love, Thunderball, Wait Until Dark) and starring Charles Bronson, Toshiro Mifune and Alain Delon. It’s a western about a gang who steal an ancient Japanese samurai sword and the team who set out to reclaim it. For this release, the movie was restored in 4K by Studio Canal.

88 Films is releasing the In the Line of Duty I – IV “Standard Edition” Blu-ray set containing the female-centric Hong Kong cop films Yes, Madam (1985), Royal Warriors (1986), In the Line of Duty III (1988) and In the Line of Duty IV (1989). The first two features star Michelle Yeoh. All four titles were previously released separately, so this is simply a combo pack containing all of those discs in one case.
The drama Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore (1974) from Martin Scorsese (Raging Bull, After Hours, Goodfellas, The Departed, The Irishman) is arriving as a 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray combo and a standalone Blu-ray.

You’ll receive their takes on Snow White (1961), Little Red Riding Hood (1962), as well as Mother Hulda (1963), The Devil’s Three Golden Hairs (1977) and Snow White and Rose Red (1979).

Kino Lorber is delivering a few features as well. The Love Trap (1929) is a comedy about a poor chorus girl who falls for a rich man. His family doesn’t approve of the relationship, leading to conflict. This Blu-ray comes with a film scholar commentary.

You can also purchase a “Standard Edition” Blu-ray of the John Woo World War II picture Windtalkers (2002), courtesy of MVD Marquee Collection. This picture features a group of soldiers protecting Navajo Marines who are using their language in order to send and retrieve important messages to the front lines of battle. It stars Nicolas Cage, Adam Beach, Peter Stormare, Mark Ruffalo, Roger Willie, Christian Slater and Jason Isaacs. A word of warning, though. Unlike the out-of-print 2018 Blu-ray that contained both the director’s cut (which runs 20-minutes longer) and theatrical version, this edition only contains the theatrical cut.
Paramount Pictures are repressing a couple of their recent titles. The first is the enjoyable killer-alligator horror picture Crawl (2019), which is arriving as a 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray Steelbook. One assumes the contents are identical to the regular 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray combo, only in fancier packaging. And The Untouchables (1987) “Limited Edition” 4K Ultra HD Steelbook, which sold out upon its release, is getting a reprint if you missed it the first time around.

Universal Studios is presenting Blu-rays of the Marlene Dietrich picture The Flame of New Orleans (1941), as well as the drama/romance film Foxfire (1955) with Jane Russella and Jeff Chandler.
Howard the Duck (1986) was a notorious, critically savaged flop upon its original release (I remember, I was there as a kid at an opening weekend screening), but over the years it has built a cult following. Now, you can pick up a 40th Anniversary 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray Steelbook. And I will admit, the film’s score is fantastic, even if the picture is something of a mess. The contents appear to be identical to previous releases, only in new packaging.

A young girl ignored by her family, as well as her friends, become the killer’s latest targets.
