Outstanding '80s movie now in HD 4K! A High School student stumbles upon what he thinks is a new game list from a game company. He hacks into the system to try and play them, unknowingly getting into a high security military system. One of Matthew Broderick's '80s hits. We all know what the other is...Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
The picture and sound here are fantastic. The best I think this is going to look and sound. Get this set soon and add it to your 4K library and '80s movies on HD. Lots of '80s stuff here. Artwork, 4K, Blu-ray, digital copy. I would have liked a slipcover for this one, but it is great just the same.

The stakes rise to dangerous levels as Hanna and McCauley become locked in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse. Val Kilmer, Ashley Judd, Tom Sizemore, and Jon Voight co-star. 172 min.

I really enjoyed this one with a great cast. Val Kilmer, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, among some others. I had some reservations on this one due to some reviews saying the picture was too dark, etc. Well, I really had no issues with it as far as the 4K goes. Night scenes were pretty good for the most part, and daytime was excellent. Sound was utterly fantastic at 7.1 Audio. I really heard the shootout from the bank heist this time. Excellent. I have started to improve my Val Kilmer library due to his ongoing health issues. Al Pacino, what can I say about this brilliant actor that has not been said already? Just outstanding. Robert, the usual bad guy drama actor here, did not disappoint. Ashley Judd plays the wife of Val Kilmer's character. She looks good here.
If you want another good crime drama with Val Kilmer, may I suggest The Real McCoy with Kim Basinger. Excellent.
My 4K equipment is Sony all the way. I have no issues.

A decent remake of the cult original from George Romero. The only thing I really didn't like about it was the zombies running like they were on a mass sprint exercise. It really resembled the World War Z movie. A virus spreads through bites, etc. Still, an enjoyable romp with that in mind.
We get 3 discs total, the 4K UHD with the Unrated Cut, The 2 Blu-rays, one with the Unrated Cut, the other Theatrical Cut. Many special features from the movie brought over from previous release. Easy selections on the menu, which is good by the way. Picture quality is outstanding, the sound, is a 5.1 mix. If you have a good sound system, it is decent.
For this release and the 3 discs, plus slipcover, I did not pay the near 40 bucks for it. So, find a good deal on this one and add it to your horror library before it is oop.

Beautifully done Steelbook of THE FOG in 4K UHD. The artwork here is fabulous throughout, inside as well. These discs have different artwork on them then the edition with Jamie Lee on the front cover. Content is great, lots of special features. The movie looks fantastic and sounds fantastic in the 7.1 Audio!
Get this movie soon if you don't own it already! One of Carpenter's best! He even has a cameo in the movie.

Val Kilmer stars as a young genius at a prestigious school.
HIs knowledge coupled with others there develop an ingenious device. Not known to them though that it would be used by a professor and his colleagues for military purposes.
He and his friends team up to stop the professor from benefitting of the new "weapon" and dispose of it in proper fashion. The ending is hilarious.
Looks and sounds better than ever on 4K UHD! One of my favorite '80s movies!
Thank you, Sony Includes Blu-ray and digital copy.!

An upcoming Chuck Norris stars as a leader of the Black Tigers. An Elite group that goes to Vietnam to bring back any and all MIA's.
After a "setup" there, the group takes a few casualties. John T. Booker, played by Chuck, takes a direct lead in finding out who is responsible and dealing with them in his own style.
A lovely Anne Archer (Fatal Attraction, Narrow Margin) stars as a reporter and love interest.
Look for other stars of the era, and notable actor Dana Andrews.
Nicely done Kino Lorber! Nice menu, easy selections, good artwork and slipcover. Reversable artwork slip on inside.

~ DEATH WISH on 4K with nice slipcover and artwork
on February 9, 2023
Posted by: 93Vet
Wow, get this on 4K! Kino Lorber did a great overall job on this one. The whole package is great with nice slipcover. Reversable inside cover also. I would say the 4K is quite nice, probably the best we are going to get on this 1974 gritty movie starring Charles Bronson.
The Audio is improved at DTS HD English 5.1. The Blu-ray is same at English 5.1. There is special features here that I have not seen before. Kino Lorber always does a great job on that. Many theatrical trailers of Charles' movies, and a few others.
This is definitely an improvement over the lazy Paramount Blu-ray that was released a few years back.
I do hope KINO LORBER gets the rights to do the other sequels, especially DEATH WISH II and III. Nice slipcover artwork!!

Great! I loved this chapter of the Friday the 13th franchise. The steelbook looks great all the way through! Love it. This is the Deluxe Blu-ray that has been previously released before. Still a great release. Got all 4 steelbooks now! Bring on the rest, Paramount!

A new generation of pop culture-savvy teens struggles to suss out the killer's identity before they're picked off in this effective and winking InchrequelInch for the meta mayhem franchise. Melissa Barrera, Jenna Ortega, Jack Quaid co-star with legacy performers including Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, and David Arquette. 114 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Two-disc set.

BEWARNED!!! NO regular Blu-ray Disc included!!!
ByHomeTheaterElite
Great movie! But Bewarned that this edition ONLY includes the 4K UHD Disc and a Digital Copy. For $30 this should have included a regular Blu-ray disc. I have only one 4K UHD disc player in my home theater and the 4K disc is useless in the rest of my players. Disappointed in this purchase!
You have the 4K/Digital copy only version. The Steel book version has the regular Blu-ray in it as well for about 5 bucks more. Your link in your review shows the picture stating there is NO Blu-ray in the package.
This has been showing as coming soon for a few months. Initial pre-orders were super under supplied and it never restocked. Stores show zero stock for release day. And yet people on ebay are selling 10+ copies.
You should have put in for a pre-order as soon as you saw this steelbook on the website. I did just that and got 1 copy, which is all I wanted. Don't even wait until the month it is supposed to be released. Your chances then will be slim to none.
Three-disc set includes Scream (1996)Director Wes Craven's slyly self-referential shocker follows a group of high school horror film fans in a small California town who are systematically slaughtered by a mysterious masked slasher. Newscaster Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox) thinks this killer also did in teenager Sidney Prescott's (Neve Campbell) mother the year before, even though the supposed murderer is behind bars. Skeet Ulrich, David Arquette, Rose McGowan, Matthew Lillard, and Drew Barrymore co-star. 111 min. C/Rtg R Scream 2 (1997)The ghost-faced killer from the first film is gone, and the survivors are trying to get on with their lives. But when the debut of a horror movie based on the murders called InchStabInch is marred by copycat killings, it becomes clear to everyone that a new round of terror is about to begin. Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette, Jerry O'Connell, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Jada Pinkett star in this spooky, witty sequel. 120 min. C/Rtg R Scream 3 (2000)The third time is a bloody charm in Wes Craven's cut-and-cut-up series. Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell), now a recluse working for a women's crisis hot-line, travels to Hollywood, where cast members of film-within-a film InchStab 3Inch are being slaughtered and pictures of Sidney's mother are being left at the crime scene. Courteney Cox Arquette, David Arquette, Patrick Dempsey, and Parker Posey co-star, with several surprising cameos. 117 min. C/Rtg R

~ SCREAM 3 movie set includes 2 more Blu-rays ~
By93Vet
Fantastic 5 Blu-ray set that includes the first 3 SCREAM movies, and 2 documentary style features on separate Blu-rays.
Digital codes are provided as well for the movies. The picture and sound are good and still hold up well in the 4K system TV and player.
Menus are great with easy selections. Highly recommended if you are a fan of the movie series.
Find a good deal on this set, This one is a keeper in the horror collection!
Love the steel books. The only negative about this is the cardboard box they came in. It's thick enough but should have been put in a steel shell like The Lord of the Rings Other than that, it's a great series in awesome steel book cases.
If it was metal, it would have cost more to make and sell. Any shipment would most likely be dented up as well considering the shipping boxes and packing.

Mindless Fun in 4K!
ByRoflfeathers
John Carpenter’s follow up to the classic Escape from New York is a bit of a hit and miss. There are some likable characters this go round and Snake has the one-liners completely covered. A rehashed story similar to the structure from the original movie, albeit in a new locale, weakens it overall. A short runtime makes it worthwhile for a popcorn action flick, so sit back and watch the explosions! Note: The 4K presentation is amazing, color grading and grain structure are all in respectable standards for this release. I had to return this product before opening because of an audio issue with the surround sound track. This is documented online and Paramount is aware and offering a disc replacement program to fix this. If you have a white UPC code on the back, you’ll need a replacement, but if there is a yellow UPC code, you’re in the clear.
After realizing that this was only just the three movies released during the years of 1995 and 2002, this is not the full complete collection, and completely not worth the price.
Shout Factory already released the first 5 in the lineup, nice packaging, separately some time ago. This set completes the movies, but it was under Miramax, and they had to get licensing for another release on 4K. It's all in one package with a nice box.

Dawn of the Dead......4K Blu-ray
ByLeon8
Had to grab this 4k Bluray version of Dawn of the Dead one of my favorite zombie horde movies. You get a 4k unrated version, plus a bluray unrated, and also the theatrical version on a Bluray (3 Disc) and they're loaded with special features, would recommend.

F13 The Final Chapter Steelbook!
ByTommyC1
Awesome F13 The Final Chapter Steelbook! No new special features unfortunately but F13 TFC remains a classic and the best of the series!
Retrogaming fans and pop-culture enthusiasts have been clamoring for it, and here it is courtesy of Arcade1Up: the Atari Legacy CENTIPEDE Edition home arcade machine, for the first time in a form factor shaped just like the original classic arcade cabinet!
There are misleading images of this unit's screen size when showing Centipede. The game is a vertical game as it should be. However, there are photos of it being squashed or horizontal. Which is it?
Evolving from its 1958 beginnings as an amusement game manufacturer, Midway produced some of the hottest arcade games of the 80s and 90s, that have since been adapted into film, television, and much more.Their monsters-wreaking-havoc title Rampage~was a giant early hit, and then leaps in live action digitizing technology led to Mortal Kombat~, recognized as one of the most important titles in video game history. With it~s over the top darkly humorous gameplay and finishing moves, Mortal Kombat~became an instant franchise with iconic characters and enduring catch phrases.
So, what's the actual date of release now? Arcade 1up had it in March and Best Buy says Dec. 31, 2021. lol There are many of us eagerly awaiting to get this unit when Arcade 1up SAYS and sends an email stating it is READY for Preorder.

Not sure, but I asked the Best Buy tech on duty and he sold me one similar to this one for my Galaxy 21 phone. It works well. My advice to you would be to go in person if you can and tell them your question. They should point you to the correct item that will work for you.
Most steelbook editions contain the DVD as well. Do any of these contain the DVD's? And none of the special features are listed. I am particularly interested if the 4k/blu-ray have extra features that the DVD's do not. Thanks for your quick reply.

It did when it first came out on 4K. I don't think it can be found in the brick-and-mortar stores with one now in 2022, 5 years later. You may have to go to ebay for one.
