Looking at recent theatrical releases, Disney and Pixar have the newest animated family adventure Hoppers arriving on 4K UHD Blu-Ray with Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos audio, and a variety of supplements, including featurettes, deleted scenes, bloopers, and more. Magenta Light Studios has the action-revenge tale Protector on Blu-Ray starring Milla Jovovich as a mother trying to rescue her daughter from a human trafficking ring. Fans of indie cinema should look to Mubi and their release of heist drama The Mastermind starring Josh O’Connor from director Kelly Reichardt. The Blu-Ray release includes a visual essay.

Alliance Entertainment has a trio of catalog titles debuting on Blu-Ray domestically across the genre spectrum. First up, we have the comedy Lovelines about a forbidden romance between two students from dueling high schools. We also have the coming-of-age drama You Light Up My Life starring Didi Conn, which won an Oscar for Best Original Song. Things get more gritty in the crime thriller Cold Steel with Brad Davis, Sharon Stone, and Jonathan Banks.

The team at the Warner Archive has a dazzling slate of new 4K UHD and Blu-Ray releases this month. We start with the new animated offering Looney Tunes Cartoons: The Complete Series on Blu-Ray featuring every episode of the recent HBO Max series. The set also includes additional shorts spotlighting the Olympic Games. We also have an unexpected 4K UHD Blu-Ray release with the documentary George Stevens: A Filmmaker’s Journey in Dolby Vision with additional new interviews with Martin Scorsese, Guillermo del Toro, and Christopher Nolan discussing the legendary filmmaker.

The label has its latest installment of the Monogram Matinee series featuring Under Arizona Skies and Range Justice. Both of these have been restored in 4K from the Best Preservation Elements. We also have the long-awaited Joan Crawford and Clark Gable vehicle Possessed (1931) on Blu-Ray from a 4K scan of the Original Camera Negative. It includes some short films and cartoons. Fans have also been demanding The Late Show starring Art Carney and Lily Tomlin on Blu-Ray, and we finally get it from a 4K scan of the Original Camera Negative with a vintage talk show appearance.

If you are a fan of film noir, you might want to keep an eye out for Follow Me Quietly starring William Lundigan and Dorothy Patrick. This down-and-dirty cop flick has received a 4K scan of the Original Camera Negative. We find ourselves on the other side of the law in The 5-Man Army starring Peter Graves, James Daly, Bud Spencer and more. This period heist film comes from a 4K scan of the Original Camera Negative.
