September's Most Anticipated 4K Releases
My 4K UHD Collection is getting bigger as time goes by because more films are adapting to the format. I usually say "it continues to be an amazing time for film," but as time carries on things are beginning to change for the worst, especially the movie industry. As we speak, theaters are shut down and the majority of the United States (including myself) are locked inside for safety.
The sad thing is, at least when it comes to physical media, is that the virus has finally caught up to home video releases. For the month of September (excluding re-releases and remasters) we have ZERO new releases in UHD, yes zero… How crazy is that? I never thought I would see something like this.
Outside of that, here's what you can set your eyes on this month when it comes to those re-releases and remasters… On top of these you can also get the Alfred Hitchcock Collection on September 8th and the 4K the Stanley Kubrick 4K Collection on September 22nd. There are also various steelbooks for the releases below too + Psycho, Invisible Man, Halloween & Mad Max in 4K. It is quite a stacked month of re-releases.

The game is afoot when Blackwood seems to rise from the grave, plunging Holmes and Watson into the world of the occult and strange technologies.
When Austria's crown prince is found dead, evidence seems to point to suicide. However, detective Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) deduces that the prince was murdered and that the crime is but a piece of a puzzle designed by an evil genius named Moriarty (Jared Harris).

21 & 22 Jump Street (September 15, 2020)
When cops Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum) join the secret Jump Street unit, they use their youthful appearances to go under cover as high-school students. They trade in their guns and badges for backpacks, and set out to shut down a dangerous drug ring. But, as time goes on, Schmidt and Jenko discover that high school is nothing like it was just a few years earlier — and, what's more, they must again confront the teenage terror and anxiety they thought they had left behind.
Although they made their way through high school successfully, an investigation at a local college brings big changes for undercover officers Jenko (Channing Tatum) and Schmidt (Jonah Hill).

Full Metal Jacket (September 22, 2020)
Stanley Kubrick's take on the Vietnam War follows smart-aleck Private Davis (Matthew Modine), quickly christened "Joker" by his foul-mouthed drill sergeant (R. Lee Ermey), and pudgy Private Lawrence (Vincent D'Onofrio), nicknamed "Gomer Pyle," as they endure the rigors of basic training. Though Pyle takes a frightening detour, Joker graduates to the Marine Corps and is sent to Vietnam as a journalist, covering — and eventually participating in — the bloody Battle of Hué.
