Vault Master's Pick of the Week!

It's been nearly a year since the last Stock Your Vault post Vault Dwellers! I don't want to get your hopes and declare my official return but... let's just say you'll be seeing more content here, and over at the main site (and over at my Patreon too), and soon! 

For the triumphant return of this popular (and handy) News Vault column, please take a gander at all the new Blu-ray and 4K titles of interest for September 9th! 

Some of the more notable releases for the week include Universal's JURASSIC WORLD: REBIRTH (a serviceable re-quel with some neat hybrid dinosaurs - get it singly or in the 7-Film Collection), Lionsgate's BALLERINA (which takes place in the JOHN WICK cinematic universe), and the bizarre surf-themed Nic Cage vehicle, THE SURFER (also from Lionsgate). 

There's also a small smattering of anime titles, a trio of new Mondo Macabro discs, and some bloody samurai action from Shout! Studios! To see the full list of paltry physical media offerings just keep on scrolling fellow collectors!

Vault Master's Pick of the Week!

Hey gang! My apologies for failing to post last week! Between traveling for the holidays, and a rigorous work week leading up to Thanksgiving, I unfortunately didn't have the time to share this past week's new Blu-ray & 4K releases! But now I'm back (and nearly a week late) with the newest batch of discs that you just might want to add to your collection!

The biggest "surprise" this week is that Disney's deluxe 4K steelbook releases of their most recent Marvel and STAR WARS fare (listed below). With the current glut of streaming platforms and the limited digital availability of some films and TV series, it's nice to see that "The House of Mouse" is still catering to us collectors! (Here's hoping NetFlix pays attention and follows suit at some point!)

Speaking of steelbooks, there's a LOT of them out this week: 20th Century Films' ALIEN: ROMULUS (a film that I found to be frustratingly disappointing), MPI's HATCHET COLLECTION (originally a Dark Sky Films' website exclusive - comes with a new hour-long documentary), Paramount's GALAXY QUEST (new 4K restoration, Dolby Atmos audio, & featurette) and PULP FICTION (new fancy packaging, lobby cards, and other "junk"), Universal's 20th Anniversary Edition of SHAUN OF THE DEAD (new 4K restoration, Dolby Atmos audio, & 20th anniversary featurette), and Scream Factory's (now triple-dipped) PUMPKINHEAD. 

Aside from a new 4K restoration made from the film's original negative, the only thing to set this release apart from the ones that came before it is its bad-ass cover art! (I've seen a lot of folks complaining about it online, but I think it looks absolutely savage!) As for extras, nothing new has been added, but at least the wealth of the bonus features from previous releases have been ported over, including: a feature-length commentary, a tribute to director Stan Winston, a five-part making-of documentary, cast & crew interviews, and more!

Other discs of note: Dark Sky Films' RIPPY (a killer zombie kangaroo epic starring Michael Biehn - available on both Blu-ray and 4K UHD), Universal's THE WILD ROBOT (a heartfelt animated feature that everyone seemed to love), Scream Factory's 4K of THE GIFT (lots of bonus features, plus Katie Holmes topless in 4K!), and Severin Films' HARD WOOD: THE ADULT FEATURES OF ED WOOD (4 feature films, some with soft and hardcore cuts) and THE INCREDIBLY STRANGE CREATURES WHO STOPPED LIVING AND BECAME MIXED-UP ZOMBIES (now separate from their Ray Dennis Steckler set)!

As always, there are plenty of new releases I didn't mention so be sure to scroll down to take a peek at the full roster of new Blus & 4Ks!

Vault Master's Pick of the Week!

Welcome! Welcome one and all to the first Stock Your Vault post since umm.... January?! Egads! Well in a (some would say a vain) attempt to get back into the swing of things, your friendly neighborhood Vault Master is here to share good tidings of new physical media releases on Blu-ray and 4K UHD! And this week is absolutely loaded with fantastic titles from all of your favorite boutique labels, so strap in and brace yourselves for pure awesome!

While there are a lot of Blu-ray and 4K titles to be excited for, I'd have to say the two most highly-anticipated ones are Toho's GODZILLA: MINUS ONE and Universal's 40th Anniversary release of THE TERMINATOR! The Oscar-winning MINUS ONE offers up a gorgeous 4K presentation with various audio tracks (including a 5.1 Dolby TrueHD English dub!), featurettes, and trailers. Even upon release day, I honestly still don't know if the bonus features have English subtitles - I guess I'll find out when I pick up a copy in the near future! Also, as of my posting this, it would seem that the Limited Edition Steelbook is completely OOP, which absolutely sucks, because it's the only way to get a copy of GODZILLA: MINUS ONE/MINUS COLOR.

THE TERMINATOR comes fully restored in 4K with a DolbyVision/HDR presentation of the film, plus a Dolby Atmos audio track option! The disc includes a handful of featurettes ported over from previous releases, as well as seven deleted scenes! I've read a few reviews about this disc and it is getting rave reviews for the quality of the restoration, so I do believe it is time for me to upgrade from my old Blu-ray disc!

Other releases worth noting are: Warner Bros.' 4K of BLAZING SADDLES, Shout! Studios' fantastically expensive 4K collector's sets of THE DARK CRYSTAL and LABYRINTH, Kino Lorber's 1,000 CONVICTS AND A WOMAN (which is #20 in their Kino Cult line), Universal's SPEAK NO EVIL (which is apparently a worthy remake of the bleak original), and Arrow Video's limited editions of TOMIE (which is part of their recent love affair with J-Horror films), and A SIMPLE PLAN.

There's dozens of other new discs out today so be sure to scroll on down to see the full list fellow collectors!

STOCK YOUR VAULT: New Blu-rays & 4K Discs for 01/23/24!

 

Vault Master's Pick of the Week!

Hey Vault Dwellers! You probably thought you'd seen the last of me eh? Well I'm still around, haunting the darkest recesses of the Vault... when I'm not working lots of overtime and raising the future heir to the Vault crown that is! 

 While it is likely too optimistic to say "I'M BACK!," yours truly is slowly getting back to somewhat regular updates here at the News Vault, while creating new content for the main site, and maintaining a presence on my social media accounts.

Anyway, for the first new Stock Your Vault post of 2024 I jumped in on a week that doesn't have much to offer. Kino Lorber Studio Classics brings the Arnold Schwarzenegger comedy classic KINDERGARTEN COP to 4K, and Scream Factory brings JENNIFER 8 and Stephen King's THINNER to Blu-ray disc. The latter is my pick of the week and comes complete with three audio commentaries (two of which are brand new), a trio of new cast & crew interviews, & more!

To see the full list of new Blu-rays and 4K UHDs, just scroll down an inch or so!

Vault Master's Pick of the Week!

Greetings fellow collectors, and welcome to another edition of our (somewhat weekly) Stock Your Vault column! Last week may have hit your bank accounts hard, and next week most certainly will, but this week is pretty light on new titles so feel free to take a breather!

Scream Factor's lone release was the mostly forgotten LOST SOULS (released theatrically back in 2000), Arrow Video gave RINGU a nice limited edition 4K release (grab it if you want the new artwork, double-sided foldout poster, and collectible booklet that are exclusive to this release!), and for all of you luchador fans, Indicator continues to break into the U.S. market, this time with two (standard edition) Blu-rays of SANTO VS. EVIL BRAIN and SANTO VS. INFERNAL MEN!

Warner Bros. dropped their 50th Anniversary 4K of Friedkin's THE EXORCIST, Universal hit us with a pair of new 4K discs for THE BLACK PHONE and COCAINE BEAR (two of my recent favorites!), and Radiance Films added THE DEAD MOTHER to their slowly-growing catalog! And with so little in the way of competition this week, it was easy to choose Sony Pictures' THE LAST DRAGON as my "pick of the week!" With its new 4K restoration, new Dolby Atmos audio track, steelbook packaging, and new fan commentary, it's definitely a worthy upgrade that fans will definitely want to pick up!


I've pretty much mentioned everything that's out this week, except for a handful of new anime titles, but feel free to scroll a tad bit further to see the entirety of this week's measly lineup! And again, brace yourselves because next week is loaded with lots of great new releases from just about every boutique Blu-ray label out there, with a smattering of slasher films, shot-on-video epics, international cult films, giallos, classic creature features, and more just waiting for you to buy them!

STOCK YOUR VAULT: New Blu-rays & 4K Discs for 09/12/23!

 

Vault Master's Pick of the Week!

Greetings fellow collectors and welcome to another edition of the News Vault's STOCK YOUR VAULT! This week is a wee bit light on new discs, but there's still a good mix of films both new and old that are getting some wonderful high-def restorations!

Arrow Video piles on this week with a new 4K Limited Edition of THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT remake, a new Limited Edition Blu-ray of the martial arts classic THE PRODIGAL SON, plus standard Blu-ray re-releases of THE COUNT YORGA films, FLOWERS IN THE ATTIC, the GOTHIC FANTASTICO boxed set, HOUSE II: THE SECOND STORY, and THE STUFF!

Warner Bros. brings the excellent animated feature BATMAN: MASK OF THE PHANTASM to 4K (R.I.P. Kevin Conroy), Kino Lorber brings FINAL CUT (a French remake of ONE CUT OF THE DEAD?!) to Blu-ray, and Shout! Studios unleashes their massive 7-film IRWIN ALLEN: MASTER OF DISASTER COLLECTION!

For fans of modern horror films, Lionsgate just released COBWEB, Paramount gave us a 4K steelbook of SMILE, and Sony Pictures dropped the latest INSIDIOUS sequel (THE RED DOOR) on Blu-ray disc. For fans of classic horror, Scream Factory gave 1977's THE PACK its Blu-ray debut with a new 2K transfer and extras, and MVD Rewind Collection did all of us GHOULIES fans a huge service by releasing the original film to 4K disc! Along with an all new 4K transfer, all of the extras from previous releases have been corralled onto this 2-disc set! As an added bonus, MVD also just released GHOULIES II in a new Blu-ray release that has a good number of bonus features as well!

STOCK YOUR VAULT: RINGING IN 2023 EDITION!

 

Vault Master's Pick of of the Week(s)!

Hey fellow collectors! Between working a lot of overtime, traveling to another State for the holidays, and being laid up for a bit with the flu, I've fallen behind on my duties! But things have finally calmed down so here is the first STOCK YOUR VAULT post of 2023!

As is usually the case with the start of a new year there's not a lot of new titles coming out weekly to fill a post. so there will be fewer Stock Your Vault posts throughout January. But by February, the release slate will start to beef up again, and oh boy is there ever a lot of cool stuff coming down the pipe!

Last year ended with a whimper: The first Season of HBO's GAME OF THRONES: HOUSE OF THE DRAGON arrived on both formats, as did the first season of AMC's TALES OF THE WALKING DEAD, and Kino Lorber Studio Classics ended things on a high note with a new 4K release for THE TAKING OF PELHAM ONE TWO THREE! 

Universal dropped their intensely debated trilogy capper HALLOWEEN ENDS (alone and in a 3-film collection), VCI brought the classic Bela Lugosi serial THE PHANTOM CREEPS to Blu-ray, and the (apparently much-loved) TERRIFIER 2 made its Collector's Edition Blu-ray debut! 

Moving on to this week, there were only really four new titles out: Criterion's THE ADVENTURES OF BARON MUNCHAUSEN (a personal favorite of mine that I'll have to upgrade now!), Warner Bros.' BLACK ADAM, Lionsgate's PREY FOR THE DEVIL, and Paramount's first season of STAR TREK: PRODIGY!

While I toyed with the idea of choosing a "pick of the week" for each week, I decided instead to choose just one best overall new release for this post, and that is Shout! Factory's new 4K Ultra HD Blu of WARGAMES! Along with a new 4K scan (made from original camera negative) this 2-disc set comes with a feature-length commentary by director John Badham (and the film's two writers), plus a handful of featurettes, and the original theatrical trailer!

There's really not too much else to shine a spotlight on, but if you want to see the paltry summary of new discs that were released the past three weeks, just scroll down!

Vault Master's Pick of the Week!

Greetings fellow collectors and welcome to an almost on-time edition of our world famous STOCK YOUR VAULT column! This week offers up a great selection of new Blu-ray and 4K releases that span every genre, with a heavy dose of both Action and Comedy! If you're in the process of making a holiday wishlist, well grab a pen because there are definitely some titles here that you're gonna want for Christmas!

Criterion Collection just released a Blu-ray set of the  INFERNAL AFFAIRS TRILOGY, while Lionsgate dropped THE INHABITANT and Ti West's PEARL onto Blu-ray disc! Lionsgate also finally released Tarantino's RESERVOIR DOGS to 4K  this week as well!

If you're looking for laughs, Paramount re-released AIRPLANE II: THE SEQUEL to Blu-ray and gave WAYNE'S WORLD a gorgeous 4K release, while Shout Select brought the absolutely hilarious USED CARS to 4K UHD for the first time! And how's this for a head-scratcher: Warner Bros. dropped the all new AQUA TEEN FOREVER: PLANTASM without any warning, on both Blu-ray and 4K UHD. (Seriously, did any of you see a trailer or ad for this one, because I sure as hell didn't!)

Universal put out their COMPLETE BOURNE COLLECTION on 4K this past Tuesday, along with the unexpected (and likely unwanted) sequel R.I.P.D. 2: RISE OF THE DAMNED! Mill Creek released two more ULTRAMAN series to DVD, namely ULTRAMAN MAX and ULTRAMAN NEXUS (which also comes with the feature film ULTRAMAN: THE NEXT), and Grindhouse Releasing's fabulous new 2-disc Collector's Edition of DEATH GAME is now readily available at all retailers!

But this week's Pick of the Week goes to Shout! Factory for their new SONNY CHIBA COLLECTION! Featuring seven of the martial arts star's classic films (YAKUZA WOLF 1 & 2, THE BODYGUARD, KARATE KILLER, SHOGUN'S SHADOW, SAMURAI REINCARNATION, and SWORDS OF VENGEANCE), this new Blu-ray set contains trailers for the films, as well as an interview with the late and great Shinichi Chiba!

Believe it or not, there are a few other titles I've failed to mentioned that came out this week - to view the full roster of new Blu-rays and 4K UHDs please continue scrolling Vault Dwellers!

STOCK YOUR VAULT: New Blu-rays and 4K Discs for 11/01/22 & 11/08/22!

 

Vault Master's Pick of the Week for 11/01/22!

Ack! Try as I might gang, I just can't seem to keep up with my weekly Stock Your Vault posts like I used to. So once again I'm here to play a little catch-up on notifying ya'll about all the new Blu-ray and 4K releases that came out over the past few weeks!

Back on November 1st, there were numerous new 4K debuts for various classic films! Lionsgate (who seems to really be trying to milk the EVIL DEAD franchise for all its worth) put out a new 4K double feature of EVIL DEAD  & EVIL DEAD 2, Paramount delivered a rockin' new 4K Steelbook of THE RUNNING MAN (easily one of my fave Ah-nuld flicks), and brought both PULP FICTION and TOP GUN:  MAVERICK to 4K and Blu-ray disc!

Sony celebrated the 25th anniversary of Paul Verhoeven's STARSHIP TROOPERS with a new 4K Steelbook, Warner and Universal both unleashed new 4K editions of multiple Christmas favorites (all listed below), and Cinedigm gathered the entire SHARKNADO series into one convenient Blu-ray collection! But despite all of these quality discs, I chose Scream Factory's new PIRANHA 4K COLLECTOR'S EDITION for my "Pick of the Week!" This disc contains all of the bonus features from the prior Blu-ray releases, and boasts an all new 4K restoration from the original camera negative, so this is the best edition of PIRANHA that you can own!

Vault Master's Pick of the Week for 11/08/22!

The following week (November 8th) had a much smaller lineup, but there were a few diamonds in the rough. Full Moon released TRANCERS 5: SUDDEN DETH to Blu-ray for the first time, Arrow Video gave AUDREY ROSE its Blu-ray debut, and just in time for the holidays, Unearthed Films released CHRISTMAS CRUELTY, and Scream Team gifted us with I'M DREAMING OF A WHITE DOOMSDAY!

My "Pick of the Week" for this was the newest addition to Lionsgate's Vestron Video Collector's Series: EARTH GIRLS ARE EASY! The disc is absolutely loaded with extras (which includes a Julie Brown audio commentary, multiple cast & crew interviews, outtakes and deleted scenes, behind-the-scenes footage, trailers, promos, and more!), comes with a cool slipcover, and is relatively cheap (currently around $11 at Amazon at the moment)! You get a lot of bang for your buck with this release and I can't recommend it enough to anyone that's a fan of this bizarro 80s sci-fi/rom-com!

As usual, there are plenty of other new discs available that I haven't mentioned, so be sure to scroll down and see the full roster! And be sure to check back soon for yet another Stock Your Vault post!

STOCK YOUR VAULT: New Blu-rays and 4K Discs for 05/17 & 05/24!

Vault Master's Pick of the Week!

Hey gang! Welcome to another edition of the News Vault's Stock Your Vault column! I got a little busy last week so this is a catch up post to get ya'll up to speed on what new titles are out on Blu-ray and 4K UHD this Tuesday and last!

Last week, Scream Factory brought THE CRAFT and ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK to 4K disc, and gave FEMME FATALE its Blu-ray debut! Lionsgate added EXTREME PREJUDICE to its Vestron Video Collector's Series catalog, Paramount finally brought TOP SECRET! to Blu-ray here in the States, and Kino Lorber released WITHOUT WARNING with a new transfer and artwork!

My pick of the week went to Arrow Video's GIRLS NITE OUT, a somewhat obscure slasher flick featuring a killer disguised as a sports mascot! The film has been given a new 2K transfer, audio commentary, and a ton of new cast and crew interviews!

There wasn't much else to get excited for last week, but please continue onward to see the entire list of new Blu-ray and 4K releases!

Beverly Hills Cop II (4K UHD - 35th Anniversary Edition - Paramount)
The Craft (4K UHD - Collector's Edition - Scream Factory)

Now that we're caught up, I hope you saved some money because this week boasts a bunch of must-have titles! Warner Bros. releases MALIGNANT to 4K and brings their new THE BATMAN to all formats, newcomers Liberation Hall gave the (rightfully) forgotten ROBOCOP: THE SERIES its Blu-ray debut, and Arrow Video released ONE ARMED BOXER (a Shaw Bros. classic!), along with a limited edition Blu & 4K of WILD THINGS!

Mill Creek released yet another Ultraman series to DVD (What?! No Blu-ray? What gives?!), namely ULTRAMAN MEBIUS, Universal unleashes Dave Grohl's box office flop STUDIO 666, and Lionsgate releases X onto Blu-ray disc!

Scream Factory gets the win this week but not for their new CANDYMAN 4K release. Instead I've selected their new 4K disc of the late Tobe Hooper's LIFEFORCE as my pick of the week! This three-disc set contains all of the extras from the previous Blu-ray release, two cuts of the film, and a brand new 4K scan of the film's original negative!

There are a handful of other new titles out this week gang, so be sure to scroll down to peep them all out!
