STOCK YOUR VAULT: New Blu-rays & 4K Discs for 11/15/22!

 

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!

STOCK YOUR VAULT: New DVDs & Blu-rays for 02/16/2021!

 

Vault Master's Pick of the Week!

Greetings fellow collectors and welcome to another edition of the News Vault's weekly STOCK YOUR VAULT! I'm know I'm super llate in posting this (sorry!) but hey, better late than never right? This past week was a bit light on new titles but as is typically the case, there are some definite gems you may want to add to your growing collections!

Full Moon Pictures brought THE HAND THAT FEEDS THE DEAD to DVD & Blu-ray, Image Entertainment gave RANDOM ACTS OF VIOLENCE its physical media debut, and HBO dropped season one of LOVECRAFT COUNTRY on DVD & Blu-ray disc!

Well Go USA's lone release this past week was THE SWORDSMAN, Lionsgate released FEAR OF RAIN and THE VERY EXCELLENT MR. DUNDEE (the latter should be a real treat for all you Paul Hogan fans out there), Paramount debuted GOOD BURGER on Blu-ray disc, and Kino Lorber once again makes a show of force with the largest number of Blu-ray releases, including JETSONS: THE MOVIE, THE UNDERNEATH, THE UNSEEN (distributed on behalf of Scorpion Releasing), and SLITHIS (in conjunction with Code Red)!

Honestly, there wasn't really a big/important Blu-ray release this week, so I had a tough time choosing my "pick of the week." I settled on Image Entertainment's new Blu of ARCHENEMY starring Joe Manganiello because it sounds interesting, and because Joe recently liked a tweet of mine when I promoted the film a week or two ago. (Thanks Joe - you rock!)

There are some titles I haven't yet mentioned (like the new Limited Edition "Titans of Cult" 4K Steelbook of PACIFIC RIM) - to peep them all out just continue scrolling down! You might find a few things you want but I'd personally suggest saving your money because much more worthwhile releases are on the horizon!

STOCK YOUR VAULT: New DVDs & Blu-rays for 02/09/2021!

 

Vault Master's Pick of the Week!

Yowza! It's been a few months but the Vault Master is back on the scene with the first STOCK YOUR VAULT post of 2021! As I continue to learn the ins and outs of parenthood and work a full-time job as a "essential worker" during a global pandemic, I'm hopefully going to find a little more time to devote myself to creating new content here and at the main site. It'll be a while until I get back to a regular update schedule (if there ever was such a thing for yours truly), but I'm eager and energized to get back to work! Speaking of....

This week is chock full of cool titles from a variety of your favorite Blu-ray labels gang! Full Moon Pictures released BEACH BABES FROM BEYOND (a staple of the olde Skinemax era) and TOURIST TRAP (this time allegedly UNCUT) to Blu-ray disc, Arrow Video's lone release is THE EL DUCE TAPES, and Well Go USA released the action-packed JIANG ZIYA to both DVD & Blu-ray!

Kino Lorber Studio Classics is a force to be reckoned with these days and has multiple new releases out this week, including WINGS OF THE HAWK (in 3D!), MAN OF THE EAST (starring Terrence Hill), THE HILLS RUN RED, SO EVIL MY LOVE, and THE SUSPECT! Also out this week are Troma's HONOR KILLING, re-releases of Code Red's Blu-rays of DEVIL'S EXPRESS and the DEVIL TIMES FIVE, Dark Force Entertainment's BLUE MONKEY (aka INSECT) and double feature of THE BLACK DRAGON and ENFORCER FROM DEATH ROW, and VCI's flagship luchadore Blu-ray release, SANTO IN THE TREASURE OF DRACULA (the "Sexy Vampire Version" - remastered in 4K!).

Even with all that good stuff, I'm giving my "pick of the week" to Scream Factory. Along with their DVD & Blu-ray release of SPUTNIK, they've just dropped a nice shiny Limited Edition Steelbook of the slasher classic MY BLOODY VALENTINE! While it is just a fancy repackaging of the previous Collector's Edition of George Mihalka's Canadian fright flick, I dig the new artwork. Plus I'm giving extra bonus points because they took the time to release it just before Valentine's Day - I love when a company makes a small effort like that!

There are plenty of other new DVDs, Blu-rays, and 4K discs out this week - to see the full roster just continue scrolling Vault Dwellers!

Vault Master's Pick of the Week!

Hey gang! Welcome to another late edition of The B-Movie News Vault's STOCK YOUR VAULT column! Work and parenthood have been seriously messing with any and all attempts to get new content up, but I'm working my way through it. And while I did miss out on posting last week's new DVD & Blu-ray releases, I just couldn't skip another week because there's a lot of awesome stuff out this past Tuesday!

Arrow Video dropped new Blu-rays of Kevin Smith's MALLRATS and the Japanese sci-fi oddity WARNING FROM SPACE, Kino Lorber Studio Classics' delivered a stellar Special Edition Blu of DEEPSTAR SIX and a new steelbook of RAWHEAD REX, and Mill Creek Entertainment brought the Jack Nicholson psychological thriller THE PLEDGE, and yet another Ultraman series to Blu-ray, namely ULTRAMAN R/B!

The first four films have been remastered in 4K, there are theatrical and extended cuts of the original film, JASON GOES TO HELL, and the 2009 remake, dozens of new (and archival) audio commentaries, cast & crew interviews, behind-the-scenes featurettes, documentaries, plus a legit 3D version of Part 3!

Vault Master's Pick of the Week!

Greetings Vault Dwellers and welcome to your weekly dose of all things DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K disc related! Sorry I'm a little late in posting last Tuesday's new titles - it's probably going to be the new norm until I get my son "Action" Jackson on a more normalized sleep schedule. (Ah yes. Sleep... those little slices of death... how I miss them.)

This past Tuesday Kino Lorber Studio Classics released THE GHOST BREAKERS and THE CAT AND THE CANARY to Blu-ray disc, Arrow dropped their Blu of JESUS SHOWS YOU THE WAY TO THE HIGHWAY, Scorpion Releasing unveiled their new Blu-ray of DEF-CON 4, and Warner Bros. gave RED DWARF: THE PROMISED LAND its North American debut!

For you tokusatsu/kaiju fans, Mill Creek released yet another Ultra-set to Blu-ray featuring both UTLRAMAN GINGA and ULTRAMAN GINGA S, MVD Marquee Collection gave the forgotten DAHMER a nice Collector's Edition release on both DVD and Blu-ray, and Paramount released a 5-Movie STEPHEN KING COLLECTION, which features PET SEMATARY and its 2019 remake, SILVER BULLET, THE STAND (TV Mini-Series), and for the first time ever, THE DEAD ZONE featuring Christopher Walken!

But this week totally goes to Lionsgate's Vestron Video Collector's Series label, which has returned with a vengeance after remaining quiet for almost a full year! Vestron kicks things off with new Blu-ray discs of LITTLE MONSTERS (1989) and Cronenberg's SHIVERS (aka THEY CAME FROM WITHIN). Both movies come with slipcovers and a slew of new (and archival) extras, and amazingly both releases are surprisingly cheap, which is great news for us collectors!

To see the full list of this past week's new DVDs, Blu-rays, and 4K Ultra HD discs, just keep scrolling Vault Dwellers!

Vault Master's Pick of the Week!

Greetings Vault Dwellers! Sorry for the lack of news posts lately, but it has been a crazy couple of weeks here at Vault HQ! The Vault Mistress and I welcomed our son into the world back on August 27th during a lengthy hospital visit. Long story short: There were medical concerns for momma, so they tried to induce labor. Our kid didn't want to come out, so the doctors had to go in.

And now, two weeks later, I'm trying to settle into my role as a parent as I return to my normal schedule at the day job, and somewhere in between all of that, I'll be devoting any little bit of spare time I have left to maintaining this blog and main website. Wish me luck gang, because I am definitely going to need it!

But enough about me: Ya'll came here to find out what's new on DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K Ultra HD disc! Well, there's honestly not a lot to get excited about this week Vault Dwellers, but as always, there's a handful of titles worth adding to your growing collections!

Arrow Video brought both THE COMIC and Takashi Miike's GRAVEYARDS OF HONOR to Blu-ray disc this week, Kino Lorber Studio Classics debuted DR. WHO AND THE DALEKS and DALEKS' INVASION EARTH 2150 A.D. (both featuring the fantastic Peter Cushing as the titular character) on Blu-ray disc, and the classic GHOST IN THE SHELL anime made the leap to 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray!

Along with a slew of Frolic Pictures triple (and double) feature DVDs (scroll down to see the entire list of them), DC/Warner Bros.' SUPERMAN: MAN OF TOMORROW, and a 60th anniversary edition Blu-ray of PSYCHO, there isn't much else to really shine the spotlight on, except for Universal's new THE ALFRED HITCHCOCK CLASSICS COLLECTION. This four film set features 4K restorations of REAR WINDOW, VERTIGO, (two different cuts of) PSYCHO, and THE BIRDS - naturally each disc comes with a variety of special features.

That's all the news that's fit to print - if you want to see the full roster of this week's new releases, just scroll on down Vault Dwellers! And please bear with me as I navigate this new (anxiety-riddled) world of fatherhood - my presence may be sporadic for a while!

Vault Master's Pick of the Week!

Greetings Vault Dwellers! Once again I find myself falling behind on my duties as I inch ever so closer to fatherhood - my apologies! So let's not waste any more time and leap right into this week's list of awesome Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD titles!

Shudder brings both PREVENGE and season one of their CURSED FILMS series to DVD & Blu-ray, Scorpion Releasing gives DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR its Blu-ray debut, and the indie kaiju parody NOTZILLA arrives on DVD & Blu-ray disc!

Scream Factory adds yet another Hammer Horror title to their catalog, namely FRANKENSTEIN AND THE MONSTER FROM HELL, Kino Lorber Studio Classics drops numerous classic war films onto Blu-ray disc (e.g. THE RED BALL EXPRESS, RAID ON ROMMEL), as well as THOSE WHO DESERVE TO DIE, and Paramount gives us a 4-MOVIE THRILLS & CHILLS COLLECTION that contains the PET SEMATARY remake, A QUIET PLACE, CRAWL, and OVERLORD! (Not too shabby a set eh?)

But Arrow Video destroys all of the competition this week with their Blu-ray releases of PITCH BLACK and THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT, their mighty GAMERA: THE COMPLETE COLLECTION Limited Edition set, and their awesome new 4K Ultra HD release of FLASH GORDON! The Gamera set is ridiculously impressive and loaded up with all twelve films, comic reproductions, and books about Japan's other famous monster! The only reason I didn't make it my pick of the week is because the Region A release is (shockingly) SOLD OUT EVERYWHERE! (Word is, another run is in the works, but it'll be a "standard" release with just the films. Stay tuned for more details!)

Therefore, Arrow's FLASH GORDON 4K wins the week with its outstanding audio & video presentation, and hours of extras including: cast & crew interviews, archival commentaries, behind-the-scenes featurettes, deleted scenes, original endings, documentaries, 35th anniversary reunion featurettes, easter eggs, and more!

Vault Master's Pick of the Week!

As the countdown to my son's arrival continues, I'm trying to get things back to somewhat normal at The Vault and News Vault while I can! Though it's a few days late, here's yet another addition to our weekly Stock Your Vault column! I hope you've been able to put some spare cash aside fellow collectors because there's some cool stuff to buy this week!

Mill Creek Entertainment brought both EUREKA: THE COMPLETE SERIES and NEO ULTRA Q to Blu-ray, Scorpion Releasing gave A DIFFERENT STORY its Blu-ray debut, Tempe Digital returned to the realm of physical media with their release of OZONE, and Kino Lorber Studio Classics gave us a few new titles, including DATE WITH AN ANGEL, DIVA (SPECIAL EDITION), and THE QUEST (aka FROM DREAMING).

Scream Factory delivered a stellar new release of the Hammer classic THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA and 88 Films gifted us Jackie Chan fans (who own Region Free players) a pair of Limited Edition Blu-rays of FEARLESS HYENA and DRAGON LORD! But it's MVD Rewind Collection that rules the roost this week Vault Dwellers - Along with a double feature of Bolo Yeung films (BLOODFIGHT & IRONHEART), they've also put out Collector's Edition releases of cult favorites MIKEY (complete with new feature-length making-of documentary!) and SPLIT SECOND, which got a new 4K restoration and hours of new extras!

STOCK YOUR VAULT: New DVDs & Blu-rays for 08/04/2020!

Vault Master's Pick of the Week!

Yikes! It's almost been a month since my last post - sorry about that gang! After vacation I kind of took a little more time to recharge the ole batteries and catch up on some reading (currently polishing off Matt Ruff's Lovecraft Country) and movie/TV show watching (I just recently saw STARMAN for the first time in its entirety and blasted through HBO's The Outsider in three nights).

But between work (which has never stopped being crazy busy since the pandemic started) and the imminent birth of my son [Action] Jackson (a mere thirty-eight days away) I can't guarantee that I'll be updating regularly for a while. But hey, we'll cross that bridge when we get there. For now let us ignore our uncertain futures and focus on this week's new DVD & Blu-ray titles!

This is a relatively light week for new releases Vault Dwellers, so I would strongly consider saving what expendable income you have on what's coming later this month. But if you can't fight the urge to spend money, there are a few titles worth picking up. Shudder brought the remake of SATAN'S SLAVES to DVD & Blu-ray, Shout! Factory released SWALLOW and a limited edition Steelbook of PROMARE, and the first season of HBO's His Dark Materials arrived on both DVD & Blu-ray disc this week.

Arrow Academy gave TOTO THE HERO its Blu-ray debut, and Kino Lorber Studio Classics unleashed a trio of Blu-ray sets celebrating the films of Tony Curtis, Audie Murphy, and Carole Lombard. As the remainder of this week's release slate is made up of anime and direct-to-DVD junk, I settled on Scream Factory's lone release (on DVD & Blu-ray) of THE SOUL COLLECTOR for my pick of the week. This South African horror tale has gotten some decent reviews and sounds intriguing - sadly the disc is bare bones.

To see the full roster of this week's slim pickins, just continue scrolling!

Vault Master's Pick of the Week for 06/30/2020!

Egads! Between late hours at the day job, almost weekly doctor appointments (I can't believe I'll be holding a miniature version of myself in my arms in about two months), and a recent mental health weekend, I haven't had much time or energy to devote to The Vault. So here I am playing catch-up yet again with a double dose of STOCK YOUR VAULT action!

06/30/2020
On the final day of June 2020 there wasn't a whole lot to get excited for: Kino Lorber flooded retailers with multiple new titles on Blu-ray, including TEN LITTLE INDIANS, NOT FOR PUBLICATION, NARROW MARGIN, WILD PALMS, and SCENES FROM THE CLASS STRUGGLE IN BEVERLY HILLS, while our pals at Vinegar Syndrome delivered Blu-ray releases of THE IMMORTALIZER and PATTY HEARST.

MVD's Marquee Collection boasted a new Collector's Edition Blu-ray release of SUKIYAKI WESTERN DJANGO, Shudder's TERRIFIER made its Blu-ray debut, and Frolic Features dumped a bunch of double-feature DVD sets (listed in their own section below)! For obvious reasons (mainly out of my love for the recently deceased Ennio Morricone) Scream Factory's Blu-ray of ORCA: THE KILLER WHALE was my pick of the week!

Ah! And now we're just about all caught up Vault Dwellers! Just mere days ago, many of your favorite labels dropped some great releases on DVD & Blu-ray, I hope you've somehow managed to put aside some expendable income in these trying times we live in!

Shout! Factory's lone release of note is PROXIMITY (not available on both DVD & Blu-ray), Cult Epic's slightly delayed THE CLAIRE SINCLAIR SHOW, Severin Films unveiled their COMPLETE LENZI/BAKER GIALLO COLLECTION, and Code Red's dropped a new Special Edition Blu-ray of the cannibalistic Italian classic, JUNGLE HOLOCAUST!

Arrow Video flexes their might this week with a trio of new Blu-ray titles that includes BLACK RAINBOW, INFERNO OF TORTURE, and ZOMBIE FOR SALE, and Kino Lorber makes another strong showing with ne Blus of SPACED INVADERS, THE DAY THE EARTH CAUGHT FIRE, GO GO MANIA, THE FLESH AND THE FIENDS, THAT'LL BE THE DAY, and GRUNT! THE WRESTLING MOVIE!

But I'm giving the News Vault's "New Release Crown" (not actually a thing) to The Criterion Collection's all new Blu-ray of THE WAR OF THE WORLDS! Along with a new 4k restoration, this release contains featurettes about the making of the film, it's restoration, and contains various archival extras as well, including the infamous original Orson Welles radio play that (allegedly) terrified a nation!

There are a lot of other new titles out this week as well (including a lot of Region Free imports from Indicator/Powerhouse), so be sure to continue onward to view the entire list fellow collectors!
