My Two Cents
Hi Everyone, it’s Bill here!
We’ve posted a few more great new disc reviews here at the website this past week, including…
Tim’s look at Robert Fuest’s The Final Programme (1973) in 4K UHD from Severin Films and Craig R. Baxley’s Stone Cold (1991) on Blu-ray from Kino Lorber Studio Classics.
Dennis’ thoughts on Martin Scorsese’s Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore (1974) on Blu-ray from Criterion.
And Stephen’s take on John Woo’s Bullet in the Heat (1990) in 4K Ultra HD from Imprint.
Also, be sure to keep checking back here on the website—specifically here on our Reviews page—because lots more Blu-ray and 4K reviews are forthcoming all next week and the week after.
However, I wanted to let you know that I’ll be taking a break over that time (I should return on August 5-6). As you may know, I’ve been dealing with this frustrating AI scraping issue here on The Digital Bits which has had a major impact on the website’s functionality. And frankly, I’m exhausted.
