Every month, I\u2019m always eager to see what Arrow Video<\/a> has in store for us via the latest additions to their release calendars. Lately, we\u2019ve gotten pristine remasters of gems like Cobra, Deep Blue Sea, In The Mouth of Madness, Outland<\/a>, Lost in Space and Spawn<\/a>, and their January slate includes a few heavy hitters. While the slate doesn\u2019t include John Boorman\u2019s Excalibur, which a lot of us were crossing our fingers for, several very cool movies are coming out. They include Steven Seagal\u2019s best film, Under Siege, plus Snakes on a Plane, which was arguably the first film to ever really \u201cgo viral\u201d thanks to YouTube fan videos made before the movie ever came out. Plus, there\u2019s also a 4K of Evil Dead Rise, and the genre fave Cheap Thrills.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 4K UHD of Under Siege is set to include a new audio commentary and interview with director Andrew Davis, another one with co-star Damian Chapa and \u2013 best of all \u2013 a sit-down with Erika Eleniak. Snakes on a Plane contains all the extras from the previous Blu-ray\/ DVDs, as well as a new documentary about the film\u2019s novelization. The Evil Dead Rise disc seems especially stacked, with new interviews from the entire cast and behind-the-scenes crew, plus audio commentary and vintage featurettes. Cheap Thrills also has a mix of archival featurettes and newly recorded material reuniting the cast.<\/p>\n

Of them all, the one I\u2019m most excited for is Under Siege. While folks are divided on Steven Seagal\u2019s legacy, his first five movies<\/a> were action classics, and they are not well represented at all on 4K. Warner Bros has been slow to restore their catalogue titles, so it\u2019s nice to see them licensing more and more to Arrow. That said, it\u2019s frustrating when WB hangs on to crown jewels like the Lethal Weapon or Dirty Harry franchises, and only restores the first films, leaving the others to languish with dated transfers. Both franchises would, no doubt, get amazing releases by Arrow Video.<\/p>\n
