Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “The first The Crow is undoubtedly the best in the series and the one most worth picking up on Blu-Ray if you don’t have it already (honestly, I kind of wish it got a 4K release).” Blaine says, “of the titles I’ve seen, your best bets are movies that have seem many releases already: the Ghostbusters set, the Iconic Movies set, the Kevin Smith set, etc.”
Who gives you movie sets and skips the first movie?
With all the “Sets,” I am wondering if releases on disc like this is an outdated thing. Is this post analogous to detailing which kinds of flip phones are being released?
For the sequels, sometimes the rights changed hands and they don’t have the rights to the original. Sometimes paying the obligatory residuals just drives the price point above the goal.
As for discs, yeah, I renamed it from “DVD Releases” to “Digital Disc” releases with the release of Blu-Ray, and then “Weekly New Releases” when we had an iTunes affiliation. As new digital product comes out in areas other than Amazon, and as more product goes digital where new pressings of old releases just doesn’t happen as often unless new bonus features are added, this entire column may just turn into a release calendar.
In the case of Halloween, people who know they can market the first movies separately.
Still, we have a number of interesting releases this week.
