And I bet one of the extras won’t be a documentary called The Sweatbox. A fascinating look at the making of The Emperor’s New Groove and how terrible it was. For example, Sting was hired to write songs for the film which he duly did. But the plot was changed so much, his songs couldn’t be used as they were no longer relevant.

I love a good 4K transfer. As a movie fan, there's nothing more exciting than cracking open an old favorite that's been restored in a pristine 4K transfer taken straight from the negative. Some movies truly have never looked better. But not all 4K transfers are created equal---some are downright problematic. Why? Mostly due to the use of AI to "enhance" their look, which can make films appear significantly different than they did in theaters. After all, replicating the theatrical experience should be the gold standard.

Not too long ago, I did a JoBlo Originals video on the 1994 Jeff Bridges/Tommy Lee Jones action flick Blown Away. In it, I mentioned that the movie had just been re-released by Kino Lorber on 4K UHD---a cause for celebration. Or so I thought. While the movie is largely intact, two minor soundtrack substitutions have apparently been made, which you can read about here.

Little did we know at the time, it was the beginning of three days I will never forget, an emotional rollercoaster from the highest highs to the lowest lows.

Back in 2000, I made the eight-hour journey to Red Bank, New Jersey to attend Kevin Smith's Vulgarthon film festival -- and one of the movies I got to see at that festival was writer/director Brian Lynch's sketch comedy Big Helium Dog, which Smith executive produced alongside his longtime producing partner Scott Mosier. I came out of that screening feeling that *Big Helium Dog was one of the funniest movies I had ever seen, and I was looking forward to being able to add a copy of the film to my DVD collection... but the DVD release we were told was forthcoming never happened. Now, decades later, the movie is finally set to make its way out into the world on September 16*th, when Big Choice Video brings it not just to DVD, but also to Blu-ray! Copies are available for pre-order at THIS LINK.
