Braveheart: 25th Anniversary 4K Steelbook Edition

Celebrating its 25^th anniversary, Mel Gibson’s Academy Award winning Scottish war epic “Braveheart” will is available in a Limited Edition 4K Blu-ray Steelbook Tuesday June 16, from Paramount Home Entertainment.

“Braveheart,” released in theaters in 1995, won five Academy Awards in 1996, including Best Picture. The richly detailed saga of power, passion, and the fight for freedom stars Gibson (who also took home the Oscar for Best Director) as William Wallace, a bold Scotsman who rallies his countrymen to liberation from oppressive English rule.

The 4K Steelbook includes access to a digital copy of the film and previously released commentary by Mel Gibson on both the 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray presentations, along with more than two hours of previously released bonus content, including interactive timelines, a making-of documentary, multiple behind-the-scenes featurettes, and more.

The Cameraman

Buster Keaton is at the peak of his slapstick powers in the 1928 black-and-white classic “The Cameraman,” available in on a Criterion Collection Blu-ray and two-disc DVD edition Tuesday June 16.

“The Cameraman” was the first film that the silent-screen legend made after signing with MGM, and his last great masterpiece. The final work over which he maintained creative control, this clever farce is the culmination of an extraordinary, decade-long run that produced some of the most innovative and enduring comedies of all time.

Keaton plays a hapless newsreel cameraman desperate to impress both his new employer and his winsome office crush as he zigzags up and down Manhattan hustling for a scoop. Along the way, he goes for a swim (and winds up soaked), becomes embroiled in a Chinatown Tong War, and teams up with a memorable monkey sidekick (the famous Josephine). The marvelously inventive film-within-a-film setup allows Keaton’s imagination to run wild, yielding both sly insights into the travails of moviemaking and an emotional payoff of disarming poignancy.

Each of the Criterion Collection editions feature a new 4K digital restoration undertaken by the Cineteca di Bologna, the Criterion Collection, and Warner Bros., a new score by composer Timothy Brock, conducted by Brock and performed by the orchestra of the Teatro Comunale di Bologna this year, presented in uncompressed stereo, an audio commentary from 2004 featuring Glenn Mitchell, author of “A-Z of Silent Film Comedy: An Illustrated Companion,” “Spite Marriage,” Keaton’s 1929 feature for MGM that followed “The Cameraman,” in a new 2K restoration, with a 2004 commentary by film historians John Bengtson and Jeffrey Vance, “Time Travelers”, a new documentary by Daniel Raim featuring interviews with Bengtson and film historian Marc Wanamaker and more.

“The Cameraman” Blu-ray is available for a suggested retail price (SRP) of $39.95 and the two-disc DVD set is available for $29.95 (SRP).

Roger Waters: Us + Them

Viewers on digital will have access to all-new post-feature content including two additional concert songs not included in the original feature (“Comfortably Numb” and “Smell the Roses”) as well as “A Fleeting Glimpse,” a documentary short featuring behind-the-scenes moments from the tour.

As the founding member, lyricist, composer and creative force behind Pink Floyd, the documentary presents Waters’ powerful music in stunning form and highlights its message of human rights, liberty and love. Based around his acclaimed, sold-out Us + Them worldwide tour of 2017-2018, comprising a total of 156 shows to 2.3 million people across the globe, it features classic songs from “The Dark Side of the Moon,” “The Wall,” “Animals,” “Wish You Were Here,” as well as his most recent album, “Is This the Life We Really Want?”

Using the most innovative digital and audio technology available, this state-of-the-art show encapsulates a series of breath-taking visual, audio and sensory experiences. It captures Waters’ legendary live performances and takes the audience on an emotionally charged, thought-provoking journey.

Waters powerfully demonstrates that he is, at heart, a musical activist and one of the most passionate political commentators of his time. He has dedicated his life to fighting against those who seek to control our lives and destroy our planet. “Welcome to the Machine and Another Brick in the Wall Part II” are a stark reminder of the bleak warnings that he gave decades ago about alienation, displacement, greed, suffering, destruction and loss. And yet the humanity of the songwriter cannot be more plainly seen than in “Wish You Were Here,” because although he presents a grim picture of the state of the world, ultimately his message is one of hope through unity and love.
