It's been well over a year since we started this Tuesday Round Up, so I like to think we're beyond certain formalities. For example, I hope you all know that you're welcome to stop by our fair site anytime you want. No RSVP necessary. That being said, Drafthouse Films was still kind enough to drop off The Invitation this week. Shout! Factory tumbles down a Hellhole while offering a howling good time with The Boy Who Cried Werewolf. Finally, Lionsgate unleashes the John Travolta actioner I Am Wrath.
One last reminder before signing off for the week (and for July): if you’re shopping for anything on Amazon and you do it through one of our links, it’ll help keep the lights on here at UpcomingDiscs. See ya next week!

Apparently, the multiplex wasn’t quite big enough to contain this year’s momentous clash between Batman and Superman. In fact, the battle between the iconic superheroes has spilled over onto this week’s Round Up. Warner Bros. was kind enough to send us Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice — Ultimate Edition, which includes about 30 minutes of extra footage and a bunch of bonus features. But wait…there’s more! We’re also going to bring you reviews for the movie’s 4K and 3D editions. On top of that, Warner also proved they can count to The 100: Season 3. Finally, Lionsgate arranges The Perfect Match, while Entertainment One sinks its teeth into Bitten: The Final Season.

We’re in the midst of another brutal, life-sapping Florida summer around these parts, so I apologize if this week’s Round Up feels a little dazed and confused. The good news is you can stay indoors and pop in the Blu-ray for Paramount’s Everybody Wants Some, Richard Linklater’s spiritual sequel to his beloved 1993 cult classic. Magnolia Home Entertainment looks back on My Golden Days, while Broad Green Pictures places a bet on The Dark Horse. Shout! Factory goes on a pair of 4K journeys by climbing aboard the Rocky Mountain Express and tracking the Flight of the Butterflies. Finally, Warner Bros. shuffles along with iZombie: Season 2, while Lionsgate lures us into The Green Room.

“Dear diary: the ringing in my ears from last night's fireworks display in my backyard stopped a few hours ago, so why am I jotting down my thoughts here instead of speaking them aloud?” Apparently, this week's crop of releases — which includes a pair of Diaries and a set of Tapes — has put me in an introspective mood. Lionsgate focuses on The Adderall Diaries, while Anchor Bay takes the law into its own hands with The Vigilante Diaries. If you're more of an A/V person, you can just pop in The Levenger Tapes courtesy of Lionsgate, which also operates by a Code of Honor. Finally, Cinedigm finds inspiration in the Bible to tell the story of Joseph & Mary.

It's officially summer, but you don't have pack up your car and drag yourself to the beach to catch a wave. Thanks to Magnolia Home Entertainment, you can do that in the comfort of your own living room. We'll be reviewing The Wave, a Norwegian drama about a scenic town threatened by a tsunami. And if it's some toned bodies in two-pieces you're craving, then come on down to the All American Bikini Car Wash! (Heads up...you already have a chance to win a free DVD of this film by clicking here.) Broad Green Pictures shuffles the deck and comes up with the Knight of Cups. And Comedy Central implores us all not to be Workaholics: Season 6...make sure to have some fun in the sun these next few months.

A certain beloved sci-fi franchise is about to boldly go where no Star Trek title has gone before: the world of 4K Ultra HD! 2009’s Star Trek and 2013’s Star Trek Into Darkness make their 4K debuts this week, courtesy of Paramount. The studio also unleashes Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan Director’s Cut. In non-Starfleet news, Paramount bunkers down and visits 10 Cloverfield Lane, while Lionsgate takes a bite out of Shark Week: Jawsome Encounters.
Shout! Factory lays its peepers on Jeepers Creepers and Jeepers Creepers 2. (You can already check out our take on Maude: Season 5, which Shout! was also kind enough to send along.) Vivendi does battle with Bodyguards & Assassins, Entertainment One psyches us out with Altered Minds, and Magnolia Home Entertainment gets Gridlocked during a routine ride along. Finally, HBO follows the wild, off-field lives of a group of Ballers: Season 1.

If there’s something strange…in your neighborhood…who you gonna call?! If you don’t know the answer to that question, you are most definitely *not* a god. You’ve also been living under a rock for more than 30 years, which is how long Ghostbusters has been a bona fide comedy classic. Both the original movie and its sequel that I absolutely enjoy a lot more than I probably should arrive in 4K this week, courtesy of Sony. And those are just two offerings in what is shaping up to be a very busy week, so be sure to check our site early and often.
You can already read our reviews for Paramount’s 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi and HBO’s Steelbook redux of Game of Thrones: Seasons 3 and 4. Shout! Factory blasts off with a Journey to Space (3D & 4K) and has a bloody good time with The Funhouse Massacre, while Magnolia Home Entertainment enlists in A War, and RLJ Entertainment visits Monsterland. Warner Bros. rediscovers its Roots and buddies up to Rizzoli & Isles: Season 6, while Lionsgate engages in some Casual Encounters and repents before The Confirmation. MTV dives into The Shannara Chronicles: Season 1, Adult Swim spends some quality time with Rick and Morty: Season 2, and Comedy Central returns with Kroll Show: Season 3. Finally, HBO travels back to the '70s to spin some Vinyl: Season 1.

I don’t know what we did, but it must have been serious. We UpcomingDiscers are generally a law-abiding bunch, so I’m a little surprised that we’ve apparently landed in such hot water. How else to explain this week’s arrival of the Major Crimes division at our door? Naturally, I’m yanking your chain…none of us here would hurt a fly. The good news is Warner Bros. was still nice enough to send us Major Crimes: Season 4, and we’ll have a review of TNT’s hit cop drama soon. Disney makes a daring rescue with The Finest Hours, while Sony hikes the Appalachian Mountains for Outsiders: Season 1. Finally, have we got a scoop for you…Lou Grant: Season 1 arrives courtesy of Shout! Factory.

Things are about to get spooky in this week's Round Up. Lionsgate immerses us in the world of The Witch, the spellbinding indie sensation from earlier this year. On the other hand, the studio also gets into raunchy adventures with Dirty Grandpa. Shout! Factory takes the good and takes the bad with The Facts of Life: The Final Season and bursts into song with Cop Rock: The Complete Series. Finally, things line up just right for the arrival of Magnolia Home Entertainment's time travel drama Synchronicity.

The Fourth of July is still more than a month away, but we don’t feel like waiting that long for the fireworks to start. Thanks to the fine folks at Fox, we’ll be reviewing an out-of-this-world 20th Anniversary Blu-ray Edition of Independence Day. CBS loads up with Have Gun, Will Travel: The Complete Series, lays the law with The Untouchables: The Complete Series, and goes on the hunt with Beauty and the Beast: Season 3. Meanwhile, Paramount laughs it up with The Jim Gaffigan Show: Season 1, and Shout! Factory checks into Newhart: Season 5. Finally, Lionsgate goes searching for Manson’s Lost Girls.
