Grab The Glasses - The Turbine Collector Series Grows with Three More Blu-Ray 3D Discs!Who says Blu-ray 3D is dead? Well... it's kinda almost dead. More like it's on life support. But with outfits like Germany's Turbine in action, the format is steadily being resuscitated for those of us with televisions and projectors eager for more glasses-wearing three-dimensional action. For the 17th, 18th, and 19th entries in the Turbine Collector Series, we've got more action with "The Family" and two more animated fan-favorites. #17 FAST X Dante Reyes (Jason Momoa) thirsts for vengeance for the death of his father. With deadly precision, he systematically destroys what Dom (Vin Diesel) holds sacred - his family. In FAST X, he is faced with an impossible choice: which family member can he save without giving up the protection of the others? The world premiere on Blu-ray 3D will make a real splash in your home cinema. Dolby Atmos in German and English catapults you into the heart of the action. French, Spanish and Italian are also included in Dolby Digital Plus 7.1. #18 PUSS IN BOOTS: THE LAST WISH Even a fearless cat runs out of nine lives. The booted fighter (Antonio Banderas) with the sweet look is on the hunt for the legendary wishing star. He gets support from Kitty Softpaws (Salma Hayek) and Perrito the dog. But the nastiest crooks from the fairytale world are already after them. The animated adventure for the whole family from the world of SHREK is being released on Blu-ray 3D for the first time worldwide. You can experience magical sound in German and English thanks to Dolby Atmos. French, Spanish and Italian are also included in Dolby Digital Plus 7.1. #19 TROLLS BAND TOGETHER Party alarm in the troll kingdom: Poppy (Anna Kendrick) and Branch (Justin Timberlake) are finally officially a couple, but then Poppy discovers the secret boy band past of Branch and his four brothers. In their third cinematic adventure, the Trolls embark on an exciting rescue mission. Colorful fun for the first time worldwide on Blu-ray 3D. Concert-quality Dolby Atmos sound is included in German and English, as well as Dolby Digital Plus 7.1 in French, Spanish and Italian. Now we just wonder what the 20th title will be! All three of these are up for pre-order now and are due to ship out in August!Posted Thu Jul 24, 2025 at 06:18 AM PDT by: -

Clint Eastwood's Latest Film (Final?)

Digital will be available on December 3.

Juror #2 stars Nicholas Hoult, Oscar-nominee Toni Collette, Oscar-winner J.K. Simmons, and Kiefer Sutherland and has a screenplay written by Jonathan Abrams (Escape Plan).

Feast On This! HDD's 4K UHD & Blu-ray Shopping Guide, Week of Nov. 26, 2024Welcome to another rather busy week of disc releases. Typically with the Thanksgiving holiday in the US, and the upcoming Black Friday and Cyber Monday 'holidays', we get a small batch of disc releases. Welcome to Volume 5 Episode 26 of our weekly release guide. A look at the highlights of what's coming to disc the week of November 24th - November 30th, as well as a look at announcements from last week. (Header image courtesy of Bing AI.) 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Releases- Even if you exclude Severin and Vinegar Syndrome that always have new titles to offer us on Black Friday, we still are greeted with quite a few discs just vying to be in your collections. UK Import Monday might not exactly be reliable, but here is where we stand as of press time. From BFI and previously postponed indefinitely, the animated release Watership Down might actually be on the way to our mailboxes? Next up, frequently observed with having dates pushed back, 88 Films' release of Giallo horror Eyeball. This one also gets a web shop exclusive release as well. Well known for their martial arts releases, 88 Films also is on track to release The Legend of Fong Sai Yuk Collection this week as well. US Domestic Tuesday starts with the Criterion Collection and a pair of releases. First from director Guillermo del Toro and a title that has already been released several times by a different studio, the fantasy/romance The Shape of Water. And how about a little classic film crime action with Paper Moon? There are three titles from Shout! Factory this week. The fantasy/romance Bones and All, Rob Cohen action film Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story, and the 2016 thriller Rush. Kino Lorber is next with two releases that were originally slate for several weeks ago. The 2006 horror/thriller that was cancelled in 2022 but put back on again, Bug, and a William Friedkin crime/thriller with Tommy Lee Jones, The Hunted. Alfred Hitchcock: The Iconic Film Collection comes to us via Universal Pictures. This set looks identical to the large format book Classic Movie Monsters Collection a while back. The 2006 thriller Zyzzyx Road comes to us via Dark Arts Entertainment. Severin Films releases 2020 Texas Gladiators. From Media Blasters, the comedy crime film Fudoh: The New Generation. This one also includes an English dub. Standard releases of Corpse Mania and The Tenant are available this week from Vinegar Syndrome via Amazon. There is a mixture of releases on Black Friday. Between Vinegar Syndrome, Severin, Dark Force, and a random UK import, there are multiple ways to empty that wallet this week: Last Cannibal World - 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Special Edition Hell of the Living Dead - 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Slave of the Cannibal God - 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Rats: Night of Terror - 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Eaten Alive - 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Delicatessen - 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory - 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray SteelBook Looking for Mr. Goodbar - 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray (Limited Edition) Looking for Mr. Goodbar - 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Congo - 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray (Limited Edition) Terror Circus (1974): 50th Anniversary 4K UHD Blu-ray Blu-ray releases- Blu-ray counterparts of the above 4K releases include the (liekly region B locked) The Legend of Fong Sai Yuk Collection (UK Deluxe Limited Edition), US region A/Region-All editions of Paper Moon, Bug, 2020 Texas Gladiators and Fudoh: The New Generation. By volume, excluding Vinegar Syndrome's partner label releases, this week is still quite a doozie when you look at it. As always, here are the highlights... Warner Archive3 Collection's November batch releases this week, titles include Humoresque, Looney Tunes Collector's Choice: Volume 4, Looney Tunes Collector's Choice: Volumes 1-4, Must Love Dogs, That's Entertainment! (1974) and Wait Till Your Father Gets Home (1972-74): The Complete Series. The last title is likely on a delay, but maybe not. From Arrow Video, the long awaited Shawscope Volume Three. Kino Cult Collectors look out for 1,000 Convicts and a Woman! and No. 1 of the Secret Service, numbers 20 and 21 respectively. If you ordered it (like I did) and wondering where it went, Las Vegas: The Complete Series apparently is rescheduled to this week. Thanks for the update Uni! Anime highlights include Attack on Titan: The Final Season - THE FINAL CHAPTERS - Part 3, which also comes as a Limited Edition, and Parasyte - The Maxim Limited Edition SteelBook. Notable announcements from last week: Early in the week, the Criterion Collection has revealed their February slate of releases. Interesting is a word that describes the array. Warner Bros. has officially announced that David Fincher's 'Se7en' Is Coming to 4K UHD & SteelBook January 7th. The standard edition appears to have a little bit of swag in it. No doubt there will be a deluxe deluxe UK edition out there somewhere. Preorders are up for Gladiator 2 and Wicked. The movies barely got any screen time. Release date? No doubt not even close to a good guess, but if I had to, March, 4K Release Calendar 2K/BD Release Calendar Which titles are you buying this week?

Iiiiit's Shop Time! HDD's 4K UHD & Blu-ray Shopping Guide, Week of Nov. 19, 2024This week is a WHOPPER, and I am not talking about that large hamburger either. If you got any money left over for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, more power to you. There are FIVE (5) new releases on 4K and a bunch of everything else to break the bank for the rest of the year! Welcome to Volume 5 Episode 25 of our weekly release guide. A look at the highlights of what's coming to disc the week of November 17th - November 23rd, as well as a look at announcements from last week. 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Releases- UK Import Monday has one for sure title, Seven Samurai from BFI. What does this one offer that Criterion's does not? SWAG! It is hard to say if disc 2, the included Blu-ray is region locked. Did I mention it has SWAG, something Criterion tends to shy away from, or for that matter, slipcovers or cases. The second title has been in and out of stock so we will not list it here (see below in the first title in the catalog releases section). What a tough week to crack. Which title do we lead in with? There are five choice to ponder for that honor. I guess let's get started with Beetlejuice Beetlejuice from Warner Bros. This one is available as a Standard Release and as a Limited Edition SteelBook. The other choice our my lead-in would have been for Godzilla: Minus One. This one took Netflix by storm and we have already seen a magnificent release from Japan, and a very similar US release by the Toho company itself. Moving on to a mass market distribution of the film, we get a Standard Edition and a Limited Edition SteelBook. The SteelBook sold out pretty fast, but we would expect more added and to see it at regular merchants like Walmart. Although this one is considered Toho, outlets that distribute SDS/Warner Bros. discs are the ones that are selling this too. The UPC sequence resembles a Universal release. Sticking with the fantasy theme, dragons don't dominate the new release category quite enough. This week though it's time for House of the Dragon: The Complete Second Season. In what seems like a big echo, this one is also available as a Standard Edition and as a Limited Edition SteelBook. This one too, although listed as HBO/Max, is also distributed by SDS/Warner Bros. What week would not have another Standard Edition and an (Amazon Exclusive) SteelBook release? Yup, this time LionsGate has The Killer's Game. The fifth new release this week is Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In from Well Go USA. Catalog releases this week, got a few good ones there as well. Let's circle back around to Warner Bros. The Mel Brooks comedy Blazing Saddles dons a Standard Edition release and a SteelBook as well. The UK of course gets their swaggy edition while the US does not. That cover art --- a saddle, on fire, blazing, saddle, how original! And next, MGM (via Warner Bros.) releases The Terminator, with the same two options we have seen a lot of, a Standard Edition and a SteelBook Edition. Continuing the trend, Alfred Hitchcock's North by Northwest gets a Standard Edition and a SteelBook Edition, while the UK gets a Swaggy Deluxe Edition. The latter has been in and out of stock, so keep trying. Before moving to the next studio, Walmart has Exclusive SteelBooks of previously released titles, Dune: Part Two and Elvis. Maybe you prefer these covers? Sony Pictures is next with Little Women (1994). When Columbia Classics Five came out last month, no doubt people were asking for the 1994 version of the film with the same name. Well-known director Frank Capra gets a 2-film collection this week from Sony as well, Frank Capra At Columbia Collection. Criterion Collection this week has the drama/musical Funny Girl, and it's currently half price at Amazon thanks to the B&N sale going on, which they are duly matching. Not meaning to sound simple here, but Arrow Video has the Sam Raimi thriller A Simple Plan, starring Bill Paxton, Bridget Fonda and Billy Bob Thornton. Click our link, click buy it now, wait for delivery. Such a SIMPLE Plan! Har Har. New to 4K disc Formula One action from Shout! Factory with Rush. Having recently been done by Sony, two double-dips from Shout! Factory that might get your attention here. The Dark Crystal comes as a new Walmart Exclusive SteelBook, as well as a Limited Collector's Set. Pressing repeat here, but with the title Labyrinth, a Walmart Exclusive SteelBook, as well as a Limited Collector's Set. Fans of either of those two films, how can you NOT double-dip?
