This year of Warner Bros celebrated 100 years with some great debuts on 4K Ultra-HD Blu-ray hits some peak excitement this month as Bruce Lee’s opus Enter The Dragon arrives on August 8th. The film itself is half of Warner Bros’ age, turning 50 this year. The film will feature a Dolby Atmos track addition, but only carry over the Linda Lee Cadwell introduction and Paul Heller and Michael Allin commentary. Since there is not a companion standard Blu-ray (only a digital code), the featurettes are not here. Holding onto an old disc aside, this is a very exciting movie to be making the jump.

The Vestron Video Collector’s Series is one that pops up with a surprise throughout the year then vanishes. There are leaks with them, but nothing the likes of some of the boutique labels can have. A lot of this series has tickled my fancy with bringing titles that I remember VHS boxes at the rental store when I was younger but never actually took to watching. The latest in that is My Best Friend Is A Vampire, whose box boasted a coffin in the place of a high school locker with sneakers under it. Complete with new bonus features, it was released on July 25th. You can order yourself a copy by using the paid Amazon Associates link that follows this reviews at the bottom of the page.

Ari Aster has been one of the marquee filmmakers in the A24 roster, helping to build up the brand to the following it has today. After Hereditary and Midsommar, 2023 brought us his opus in Beau Is Afraid. The film, of course, was released to divisive reviews and a lower box office. But, Aster had earned this movie for the studio. And its existence is really much of all that matters. It was released on standard Blu-ray on July 11th.
