| Kino Lorber’s on-going round-up down the dusty trail of Sergio Leone’s Clint Eastwood westerns has already yielded a superlative 4K UHD of their greatest collaboration – “The Good, The Bad and the Ugly” – and that classic’s two “Dollars” predecessors receive similar restorative triumphs this month on both UHD and remastered Blu-Ray as well. |

| Dynamic 4K UHD of Bernard Rose’s quasi-classic 1992 thriller CANDYMAN (99 mins., R/Unrated, Shout! Factory) offers a spectacular new Dolby Vision grading of the movie – via a 4K transfer of the original negative – which enhances Anthony B. Richmond’s cinematography through the use of HDR. This Rose/Richmond-approved master brings “Candyman”’s home presentation – complete with both theatrical and unrated cuts – that much closer to matching the theatrical experience, while Philip Glass’ rightly celebrated score clicks with a multitude of audio options: 5.1 and 2.0 DTS MA mixes which have appeared on previous releases, along with a new Dolby Atmos soundtrack that adds height effects to an already-superlative audio experience. |

| Being a movie buff and a Blu-Ray format enthusiast usually leads you to far corners of the globe in search of certain titles and limited-edition packages. Even though beloved labels like Twilight Time have closed up shop, others both here and abroad have taken up the reigns for the devoted, with Imprint Editions – an off-shoot of Australia’s Via Vision – having released dozens of wonderful titles over the last couple of years from studios like Paramount, Sony, and MGM, many of them debuting in HD for the first time, with others premiering exclusive new supplements. These Collector’s Edition packages are nearly always highly recommended, and aren’t difficult to find here in the U.S. either. |
