DUEL (1971)

 

Australia: February 12th • New Zealand: TBA

 

 

David Mann (Dennis Weaver), a mild mannered electronics salesman, is driving cross-country on a two-lane highway when he encounters an old oil tanker driven by an unseen driver who seems to enjoy annoying him with dangerous antics on the road. Unable to escape the demonic big rig, David finds himself in a dangerous game of cat and mouse with the monstrous truck. When the pursuit escalates to deadly levels, David must summon his inner warrior and turn the tables on his tormentor.

We are still waiting for an official announcement for the Standard Edition of David Fincher's; SE7EN (1995), but if you are looking for a SteelBook Edition; the US and UK have just released a Steel, available from Amazon.

LG has discontinued all Blu-ray players, including the UBK80 and UBK90, UHD Blu-ray players, with remaining units only available while stocks last. The announcement echoes similar moves from OPPO in 2018 and Samsung in 2019. This leaves only Sony and Panasonic as providers of optical disc players, and they haven't released any new models for several years.

 

This is a blow for physical media collector's, and if you are sticking with the disc format, you may be well advised to buy a back up player now.

 

I've previously mentioned that I'd been buying discs when they weren't too much more expensive than regular Blu-ray, for future-proofing, but now that many discs don't come with the bundled Blu-ray I've finally bitten the bullet and bought a (Sony) player. My projector's only HD, so that'll have to be the next thing on the list!

 

I've just ordered another stack of movies from Amazon, but since there are pre-orders in there it'll be a while before they turn up. One of them's the new LOTR anime, which doesn't even have a release date listed yet (but will presumably come out at a similar time to the NZ release).

Welcome to the Weekly 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray & SteelBook Release Schedule for Friday January 10th. 

 

Only Joker: Folie à Deux Standard and SteelBook Editions at JBAU this week, just to ease us into the New Year. Several new release announcements for Australia. I guess NZ will get them at a later date. JBNZ have imported Alien: Romulus from the US in Standard and SteelBook Editions; but the prices are laughable. Somebody must be buying them, or they wouldn't keep importing. Added some new release dates and links, and that's about it for this week.

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Click on the post# links for the individual release information (artwork, specs, etc.) where available. Just click on the link and it should take you to the correct post. Then click on the back arrow to return to the schedule.

 

Individual film artwork and specs will be posted as soon as ALL info is available  •  Release dates are subject to change  •  New Releases will be displayed for one week after release date.

 

Some imported Arrow titles are available at various JBNZ stores, which aren't advertised on their website and so, are not included in this weekly schedule.

I thought that the Alien: Romulus US Imports at JBNZ were expensive, but I had a look on Amazon UK and US and with no free shipping option available from either country, the JBNZ price is actually quite good in comparison. NZ$74 from the UK and  NZ$88 from the US. Those prices are for the Standard Edition.

These things vary I guess. I ordered Romulus from Am US early December and it had free postage and ended up costing a still not insignificant 59.30NZ for the standard version.
