| Vault Master's Pick of the Week! |
Another week means another stack of new discs to add to your collections Vault Dwellers! The release slate is pretty light with Kino Lorber ruling the roost with half-a-dozen new titles (several of which are making their debuts on 4K UHD), but there's a few other discs that may be of interest to you casual collectors and diehard curators of physical media! And if there isn't, well save your money because the next two weeks are packed!
MY PICK OF THE WEEK: DEATH SHIP (4K UHD) from Kino Lorber Studio Classics!
This 2-disc set boasts a new 4K restoration of the film's theatrical
cut (no such love for its extended version it would seem), plus a trio
of new audio commentaries from several "film historians." All of the
archival bonus features from previous releases seem to be included as
well!
OTHER HIGHLIGHTS:
- Mondo Macabro's new 4K UHD of BOHACHI BUSHIDO: CODE OF THE FORGOTTEN EIGHT (previously only available through their website) is here! Along with an all-new 4K restoration from an original film negative, the disc contains two audio commentaries, new and archival interviews, and a theatrical trailer! Note: The Blu-ray release of this title arrives in early July!
- The Criterion Collection brings Monty Python's LIFE OF BRIAN to 4K for the first time ever with a new 4K restoration supervised by director Terry Gilliam! Extras on this release include two feature-length commentaries, the 2007 making-of documentary, deleted scenes, behind-the-scenes footage (shot on 8mm), and more! Also available on Blu-ray disc!
- Obscure label Eclectic releases a 4K-restored 8mm double feature of David Markey's DESPERATE TEENAGE LOVEDOLLS and LOVEDOLLS SUPERSTAR! Bonus features include audio commentaries, deleted scenes & alternate takes, making-of featurette, trailers, and more!
- Kino Lorber's other major releases this week include the Billy Zane pulp hero film THE PHANTOM (new director-approved 4K restoration, new director's commentary, new interviews), REMO WILLIAMS: THE ADVENTURE BEGINS... (new 4K restoration from original camera negative, two audio commentaries, new interview with actor Patrick Kilpatrick, and numerous archival featurettes), and UFORIA (new 4K restoration from the original camera negative, new audio commentary, and theatrical trailer)!
