For the week of November 8th, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment will release on Blu-ray and 4K UHD Lisa Joy's Reminiscence, starring Hugh Jackman, Rebecca Ferguson, Thandiwe Newton, Cliff Curtis, and Marina de Tavira. Originally set for release in April, Reminiscence was delayed by the coronavirus pandemic to September, but then moved up to August to avoid competition with other films. However, Warner's juggling couldn't save the film's box office prospects. It opened in ninth place on its opening weekend with just $2 million, and ended up with just $15.5 million globally against a budget north of $50 million. Hopefully, the film will fare better on home video. Warner's releases will have Dolby Atmos audio, with the 4K UHD disc additionally containing HDR picture. Four featurettes are included as extras.
Also from Warner this week is a 4K UHD upgrade for the DCAU film Batman: Year One, featuring the voices of Bryan Cranston, Ben McKenzie, Eliza Dushku, Jon Polito, and Alex Rocco. Released to commemorate the film's 10th anniversary, the feature is now presented in 4K with HDR, while the included Blu-ray contains different and new extras. Randy Miller is impressed with the new 4K disc, saying in part that: "this brand-new 4K presentation...offers a substantially better viewing experience...First and foremost, disc compression is vastly improved...Fine detail, black levels, and shadows are better resolved with a much smoother and less processed appearance overall. Additionally, several low-lit scenes that appeared artificially boosted on the Blu-ray are now suitably darker but still very "readable", thanks to both its better-handled contrast and well-placed use of HDR10 color enhancement. Colors stand out cleanly against black and other dim backgrounds...Overall, this more refined palette serves up a potent mixture of bold and subtle improvements that, in my opinion, make Year One a more impactful and effective adaptation".

And there is more from Warner, who in association with American Zoetrope, have a 4K UHD upgrade for Francis Ford Coppola's The Outsiders, starring C. Thomas Howell, Matt Dillon, Ralph Macchio, Patrick Swayze, and Rob Lowe. Based on the classic novel by S.E. Hinton, Coppola's film version has been newly remastered in 4K HDR, featuring both the original 1983 cut of the film and the "Complete Novel" edition. New extras for this release include a restoration interview with Cinematographer Stephen Burum, Zoetrope Head of Archives and Restorations James Mockoski and Colourist Gregg Garvin, new deleted scenes, a new introduction by Coppola and two new featurettes, as well as archival audio commentaries, documentaries and other previously released extras.
Finally from Warner this week, three more additions to the Warner Archive Collection. They are: Howard Bretherton and William Keighley's Ladies They Talk About (1933) with Barbara Stanwyck, Fritz Lang's Fury (1936) with Sylvia Sidney and Spencer Tracy, and Herbert Ross's The Last of Sheila (1973) with Richard Benjamin, Dyan Cannon, James Coburn, Joan Hackett, James Mason, Ian McShane and Raquel Welch.
New from Lionsgate Home Entertainment this week is a Blu-ray for Charles Martin Smith's A Gift From Bob (2020), starring Luke Treadaway, Bob the Cat, Kristina Tonteri-Young, Phaldut Sharma, Nina Wadia, Tim Plester, Pepter Lunkuse, Celyn Jones and Anna Wilson-Jones. Description: Based on the international best-selling books and the 'purrfect' Christmas sequel to the international hit film A Street Cat Named Bob - follow James and his best friend, Bob on their new journey together.
Also from Lionsgate this week is the much-anticapted Blu-ray debut of Mick Jackson's L.A. Story, starring Steve Martin, Victoria Tennant, Richard E. Grant, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Marilu Henner. Released to promote the film's 30th anniversary, the disc includes previously released extras, including outtakes and deleted scenes, featurettes and original theatrical marketing materials.
Finally this week, Paramount Home Media Distribution have a Blu-ray for Ivan Reitman's Evolution, starring David Duchovny, Julianne Moore, Orlando Jones, Seann William Scott, and Ted Levine. Studio description: The makers of Ghostbusters and Road Trip gives you a hilarious look at life on Earth and joins f-rces with the biggest stars in the universe. David Duchovny (The X-Files), Orlando Jones (The Replacements), Seann William Scott (American Pie) and Academy Award®-nominee Julianne Moore (Hannibal) make a discovery of alien lifeforms that could change the world. But, when the aliens try to take over the planet, our four stellar heroes rocket into action to save us. The laughter hits you at the speed of light in the comedy about heavenly bodies, mutual attraction and close encounters.
Some good movies here- L. A. Story, the 3 W. C. Fields - but nothing I feel I have to own right now. Maybe put them on a Christmas list. Didn't care for Reminiscence or The Ten Commandments. Never watched the Snowpiercer series. Saw the film. Just can't get by how ridiculous the whole concept is.
Fury is a great Fritz Lang film and The Last of Sheila is a great whodunit film, Rian Johnson took some inspiration from it for Knives out. Both films I recommend viewing at least once and I will be picking them up.
LA Story is possibly Steve Martins best film he done and while I'm not a fan of the cover up I will pick it up.
Evolution is a Ghostbusters remake that you possibly couldn't make today and would most likely get cancelled. It's definitely more sleazy than Ghostbusters but it hits the same beats but not really as memorable but definitely one of the most early 2000s movies.
I will eventually pick up Reminiscence on 4K or standard blu ray when its on sale. It wants to be Blade Runner meets Inception but the script is convoluted and thinks its too smart for its own good. Its beautifully shot but not much substance. Didn't hate watching it and if you are pre desposed to liking neo noir films then you'll at least watch it once.
