DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey
Paramount Home Media is fighting back against the “no new theatrical releases” syndrome that has been brought on by theatres nationwide closing up shop for the foreseeable future.   

The studio has already put a prime selection of new 4K Ultra HD product offerings on its release calendar — Braveheart, Gladiator, Top Gun, Days of Thunder and War of the Worlds — and the first wave of “Paramount Presents” Blu-ray editions arrived this past week — King Creole, Fatal Attraction and To Catch a Thief — with more on the way in the weeks ahead, including Flashdance and Pretty in Pink.      
     
Well, there was more good news this past week as four additional new Blu-ray releases were announced for delivery on May 26 ... all four for the first time on Blu-ray!!   No frills, just Blu-ray films for fans to enjoy.

The other four in the mix are director Guy Hamilton’s 1966 film adaptation of the Len Deighton novel, Funeral in Berlin (with Michael Caine), filmmaker Alan Parker’s 1999 film adaptation of the Frank McCourt Pulitzer Prize-winning memoir, Angela's Ashes and director Vincente Minnelli’s 1970 romantic comedy, On a Clear Day Your Can See Forever, starring Barbra Streisand.
