dir. Barry Sonnenfeld

A-Tier

A-Tier Paramount 4K. There was a color grading debate when this came out because Debbie's dress changed color from the Blu-ray. Turns out the 4K grade is closer to the original theatrical print and the Blu-ray was the one that was off. The explanation about DVD-era masters being the baseline that people grew up with applies to a lot of these catalog 4Ks.

Disney A-Tier 4K. The Pixar steelbook collection has matching art across the trilogy and animation collectors are trying to complete the set. Best Buy sales are the usual entry point.

Grosse Pointe Blank(1997)

7.0/10

dir. George Armitage

Criterion's April 21 release settles a long debate about whether this one earned a spine number. Cusack's hitman comedy has a devoted following, and the 90s soundtrack licensing alone makes a proper special edition worth the price.
