Rocky IV(1985)

7.1/10

dir. Sylvester Stallone

A-Tier

The steelbook includes both the theatrical cut and the Rocky vs. Drago Director's Cut on the same 4K disc, which is a nice touch. Opinions on the Director's Cut are split. Some prefer the additional Apollo scenes, but the theatrical version has its defenders. The Gruv sale had the full Rocky collection at a good price. A-Tier transfer, and the training montage in 4K HDR is exactly what you'd hope for.

Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers(1988)

6.2/10

dir. Dwight H. Little

C-Tier

C-Tier Shout Factory 4K. Michael Myers returns. The Halloween franchise on 4K from Shout Factory has been comprehensive if not always well-transferred.

Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins(1985)

6.3/10

dir. Guy Hamilton

Kino Lorber released this today with a new 4K restoration from the original camera negative and Dolby Vision HDR, plus two commentaries including one with the producers. It's a cult pick with a real Fred Ward performance and a Joel Grey casting choice that hasn't aged well, but the disc is classic Kino catalog work.
