This weeks finds the arrival of two awards season contenders on Blu-Ray.

The new Blu-Ray release from Lionsgate includes an audio commentary from Bratton along with an array of other featurettes and deleted scenes. Acclaimed director Sam Mendes returns with the poignant drama Empire of Light featuring newcomer Micheal Ward alongside a never-better Olivia Colman. This one was nominated for Best Cinematography for Roger Deakins at the Academy Award, so you will want to check this one out if you are an Oscar completist like us.

Speaking of the Academy Awards, current Best Actress nominee Michelle Yeoh can be found starring early in her career in the action-packed historical drama Magnificent Warriors newly out on Blu-Ray from 88 Films. This 1987 film finds Yeoh kicking some major butt, and this new release features a gorgeous restoration along with an array of special features such as interviews with Yeoh, an audio commentary and more.

This is not the only  “magnificent” upgrade out this week, as Shout! Factory has released the classic western The Magnificent Seven newly restored from a 4K scan of the Original Camera Negative in Dolby Vision. The release features multiple commentary tracks and featurettes fans will not want to miss. If you are more in the mood for a modern western tale, Nicolas Cage finds himself on a path of vengeance in The Old Way out from Lionsgate. This release comes with a couple of audio commentary tracks and featurettes.

Also debuting this week on 4K UHD is the easy-going hangout classic Dazed and Confused from director Richard Linklater, which can now be found newly remastered on 4K UHD Blu-Ray courtesy of The Criterion Collection in Dolby Vision/HDR with a nice array of legacy special features.
