We’ve got several new disc reviews for all of you to enjoy today, including...

Tim’s thoughts on the new Bill & Ted’s Most Triumphant Trilogy in 4K Ultra HD from Shout! Studios, which includes Stephen Herek’s Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure (1989), Peter Hewitt’s Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey (1991), and Dean Parisot’s Bill & Ted Face the Music (2020). Tim has also taken a look at Enzo G. Castellari’s High Crime (1973) in 4K UHD from Blue Underground.

Dennis’ thoughts on George McCowan’s Frogs (1972) on Blu-ray from Kino Lorber Studio Classics.

Stephen’s take on Howard Hawks’ Red Line 7000 (1965) on Blu-ray from Arrow Video.

And finally, Stuart’s look at Imprint Films’ Film Focus: Kim Novak Blu-ray box set, which includes Pal Joey (1957), Jeanne Eagles (1957), and Middle of the Night (1959).

We’ve also shared our weekly update of the Release Dates & Artwork section here at The Bits with all the latest Blu-ray, DVD, and 4K Ultra HD cover artwork and pre-order links, all organized (and sortable) by date and format, and complete with our Amazon Affiliate links. As always, whenever you order literally anything from Amazon after clicking to them through one of our links, you’re helping to support our work here at The Bits and we appreciate it!

In announcement news today, we’ve confirmed that Warner’s previously-revealed 4K and 4K Steelbook editions of Alfred Hitchcock’s North by Northwest (1959), Mel Brooks’ Blazing Saddles (1974), and James Cameron’s The Terminator (1984) will all officially street on 11/5. We also have the final cover artwork for the wide-release 4K of The Terminator, which I suspect was delayed by the need for James Cameron approval (and the fact that he has finally approved it is why we now have a street date). You can see the final cover artwork for all of these titles below the break, with Amazon.com pre-order links. [Read on here...]
