Sound & Vision put out a late-summer roundup of 4K and Blu-ray TV series box sets, and it reminded me that series collections are the last physical purchases I make without hesitating. Films I'll rent, stream, whatever. A show I know I'll rewatch across a decade, I want on a shelf. The reason...

A Soylent Green 4K UHD review went up this week and I have not got the disc, so treat this as a note rather than a verdict. What struck me is the framing the reviewer used: you probably remember the ending, but do you remember how good the rest of it is. That is exactly the problem with this...

Someone over on Home Theater Forum asked the question I've been dodging for about five years: do you buy the pre-2015 Blu-ray of a major film now, or leave a hole on the shelf in case a 4K disc shows up? His list was Armageddon, Pearl Harbor, Rain Man, The English Patient, The Adventures of...

House of the Dragon season three is up for pre-order on 4K UHD in the UK, dated 30 November, with a steelbook running alongside the standard edition. The listing is more interesting than these usually are. Eight extended episodes, a twenty minute featurette flagged as exclusive to physical, and...

Twenty years on from August 2006 and Talladega Nights is getting a 4K disc, with a review already up at HTF. I have not seen a word about the transfer itself yet, so I am going in with questions rather than opinions. Mid-2000s studio comedies are an awkward category on 4K. Films from that...

Picked this up mostly because I liked the first one enough to be curious, and the disc turned up last week. Fox/Disney put it out on July 28 in 2.39:1 with Dolby Vision and HDR10, Atmos on the UHD and DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 on the bundled Blu-ray. The review I read says picture and sound are...

Home Cinema Choice has a look back at how Blu-ray got started, and it prompted a memory I would rather not have. Everyone tells the format war story the same way - Blu-ray against HD DVD, studios picking sides, Warner flipping and the whole thing collapsing inside a few weeks. That part is well...
