On this – the final new Blu-ray show of 2020 – Erik Childress & Sergio Mims present some great last minute ideas for…presents…if you still need them. From 2001-03, Christmas also meant The Lord of the Rings as they look back on Peter Jackson’s trilogies in 4K. Paramount gets in on the 4K party with a pair of new Tom Cruise & Eddie Murphy releases and even a title finally new to Blu-ray from the comedian’s ‘80s output. They thrill to get another of their “not-on-Blu-ray” choices finally released in time for its 40th Anniversary and they re-examine Francis Ford Coppola’s The Godfather Part III as it celebrates its 30th Anniversary with a new Coda. Umbrella Entertainment does their part in bringing a pair of Paramount’s ‘70s releases to Blu-ray overseas. Finally they look at a slew of new Clint Eastwood releases from Kino along with a comedic 1980s anthology.
