Don’t forget that today is the final day of Amazon’s Prime Day Deals, and there are still LOTS of them to be had on 4K Ultra HD titles, movie and TV collections, and much more. And if you click to Amazon through one of our links (like this one) before you start shopping with them, it makes a huge difference in helping us to keep The Digital Bits going. So we appreciate the support! [Read on here...]

All right, we’ve got a lot of ground to cover today to close out the week. But first as always, we have more new disc reviews for you, including at least one from each member of The Bits review team!

First, I’ve posted my in-depth review of James Cameron’s Avatar (2009) in 4K Ultra HD from 20th Century Studios, which is a really beautiful 2K to 4K upsample and remaster. Plus, it carries over nearly four hours worth of extras from the 2010 Blu-ray release, and it features a fantastic and (thankfully!) uncompromised Dolby Atmos mix as well. If you’re a fan, it’s well worth the upgrade. And note that our review of Avatar: The Way of Water in 4K Ultra HD will follow this weekend, so be sure to watch for it.

Also new from Stephen is a review of Peter Greenaway’s Drowning by Numbers (1998) in 4K Ultra HD from Severin Films.

Tim has reviewed Sammo Hung’s Warriors Two (1978) on Blu-ray from Arrow Video, as well as Alex Proyas’ Spirits of the Air, Gremlins of the Clouds (1989) on Blu-ray from Umbrella Entertainment and Vinegar Syndrome.

Dennis has weighed in with a look at William Edwards’ Dracula (The Dirty Old Man) (1969) on Blu-ray from AGFA and Vinegar Syndrome.

And finally, Stuart has checked in with a look at Maigret: Season 4 (1963), the classic BBC TV series, which comes to Blu-ray from Kino Classics.

Now then, in announcement news today, our friends at The Criterion Collection have unveiled their September release slate! [Read on here...]

All right, today’s news update is going to be a very quick one, because I’m hard at work on 4K UHD reviews of James Cameron’s Avatar and Avatar: The Way of Water. Hopefully, we should have at least one of them up tomorrow.

But first, we have several more new disc reviews for you to enjoy today, starting with...

My own in-depth look at Star Trek: Strange New Worlds – Season One in 4K Ultra HD from CBS Studios and Paramount Home Entertainment. The series is far from perfect, but what’s good is very good and it’s the most like the classic Trek we know and love that modern incarnations of this franchise have ever been, save for Picard: Season Three. (More on that in a moment.)

Also today, Tim has reviewed Michael Winner’s original Death Wish (1974) in 4K Ultra HD from Kino Lorber Studio Classics.

Stephen has taken a look at Gaspar Noé’s Irreversible: Special Edition (2002) on Blu-ray from Altered Innocence and Vinegar Syndrome.

Dennis has reviewed Amanda Kramer’s Please Baby Please (2022) on Blu-ray from Music Box Films and Vinegar Syndrome.

And Stuart has checked out Maigret: Season 3 (1962), the classic BBC TV series, which comes to Blu-ray as part of a final arrangement between the now defunct Network Distributing and Kino Classics. [Read on here...]
