Happy Thanksgiving, folks!  A day early we know, but this is going to be our last post here at The Bits until Monday, as we all go off to celebrate the holiday with family.  Couple things for you today… 

First, we’re pleased to bring you a trio of additional Blu-ray Disc reviews today.  Tim has checked in with his thoughts on Criterion’s Lonesome and The Uninvited in HD, as well as Scream Factory’s The Horror Show.  All are now available.  [Read on here…]

In announcement news, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has set Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 for release on Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray and DVD on 1/28.

Sony will also release Woody Allen’s Blue Jasmine on Blu-ray and DVD on 1/21.

Meanwhile, MGM is releasing a new Blu-ray edition of the classic Robocop, mastered from a new 4K transfer.  Look for that on 1/21 (SRP $14.99).  See the cover art below.
