Let's Get Physical: Upcoming Blu-ray/4K Releases for

This months round up of physical media releases for movies is looking pretty, pretty good. From great new releases coming onto 4K right off the bat to formally streaming only films finally getting their due in full glory, this March is just a perfect little slice of the physical media pie!

The Running Man 4K - March 3rd

Remakes should be reserved for bad movies that need an upgrade of a more faithful adaptation., This one falls more into the latter as the original The Running Man was a fun campy romp and this is a somewhat tonally dissonant action film. Edgar Wright is a master and while The Running Man doesn't quite live up to his previous outings, its still a fun watch that should shine on 4K.

Jurassic Park 4k - March 17

These re releases of the Jurassic Park 4Ks are interesting. They are upgraded with Dolby Vision to give them the best looking picture possible and Dolby Atmos for that immersive sound. They all maintin the Dolby DTS. which was invented specifically for Jurassic Park, so unless there is some crazy DNR applied tot he video, I can't imagine these releases not being worthwhile.

Mimic 4K - March 17

Kino Lorber releases always look good but their special features can often leave you wanting more,. This release of Guillermo Del Toro's fist English language film has tons of meat on ther bone with plenty of featurettes, audio commentaries, and two cuts of the film: the Theatrical and Director's Cut both in 4K with Dolby Vision HDR. You couldn't ask for more!

Killers of the Flower Moon 4K- March 24

These sorts of releases are what give me hope in this streaming wasteland that we're currently;ly in. So many streaming services lock in their films to their service and rarely push them out on physical. so when Criterion announced that the AppleTV produced Martin Scorcese Killer of the Flower Moon, I was shocked and delighted. This film deserves the full 4K treatment and will be as highlight of this month's Criterion output.

Married to the Mob 4K - March 31

Jonathon Demme was a man with range, starting his career off with Roger Corman schlock a (Caged Heat) then delving into Academy Award winning masterpieces (to name one Silence of the Lambs). Some of his best work comes with the more lighthearted affairs like my personal favorite Something Wild and Married to the Mob. Getting a deluxe treatment from Vinegar Syndrome's Cinématographe line, Married to the Mob is more than deserving of such a beautiful package and a great way to discover this facet of Demme.

Quick Picks!

• Leprechaun 4K - Just in time for St. Patty's day, a so bad it's good start to a mostly bad franchise of stereotypical horror comedy. ( I like the franchsie but acknowldege its faults) Plus it's on a special steel-book form Lionsgate, who has been putting out some beautiful looking releases.

• I've not seen She Killed in Ecstasy 4K or Dead Kids 4K, but these seem like good blind buys on name alone!

• If you haven seen Oscar contenders Marty Supreme or Hamnet, this is a good time to see them in 4k!
