Wes Anderson Put a Great Deal of Time and Thought Into His Upcoming Criterion Career Box Set
Last week, Criterion Collection announced it would be releasing 'The Wes Anderson Archive: Ten Films, Twenty-Five Years' box set featuring 4K versions of the director's first 10 feature films, starting with 'Bottle Rocket' (1996) through 'The French Dispatch of the Liberty, Kansas Evening Sun' (2021). While the celebrated director's films have previously been released on DVD and Blu-ray, including Criterion versions up through 'The Grand Budapest Hotel' (2014), when Anderson was on the Filmmaker Toolkit podcast to discuss his new film 'The Phoenician Scheme,' he made clear this wasn't simply a matter of doing UHD/HDR upgrades. More from IndieWire Luca Guadagnino Attached to Direct AI Business Comedy 'Artificial' for Amazon MGM Austrian Publication That Ran 'Phony' Clint Eastwood Interview Cuts Ties with HFPA Member Author 'We've been working on it for some time,' said Anderson of the upcoming box set. 'I like the idea of having this set. It's ten movies, it's an even number.' Anderson's relationship with Criterion dates back to 'Rushmore' (1998) and, based on his comments on the podcast, working with Criterion to bring his films together in a specially designed box set was something that was important to him. 'I always have thought of my films for whatever reason, as being a body of work, an ongoing thing, not just the films as one by one, but as a set of things,' said Anderson. 'I used to say, I feel like the characters from one of my films could walk into another of my films and fit into that world. Eventually, I started making period pictures, where that doesn't quite make as much sense anymore.' There are filmmakers who have gone back to restore their films for an updated home video release and have re-edited or utilized new digital tools to create new versions of their work. For example, Wong Kar Wai's recent career Criterion box set was notable for its different color grades of his beloved films. At the time, Wong Kar Wai wrote of the changes, 'As the saying goes: 'no man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.' Since the beginning of this process, these words have reminded me to treat this as an opportunity to present these restorations as a new work from a different vantage point in my career.' The suglassed Hong Kong auteur's comments mirror those of Terrence Malick, who once commented, 'No one asked Bob Dylan to play a song the same way every night. Why should I have to make one film?' But Anderson made clear he doesn't have the same philosophy about his own work, and had taken a different approach working on the upcoming Criterion box set. 'I'm not big on, 'let's make a new version,'' said Anderson. 'For me, it's like the movie has gone out and it sort of belongs to the audience at that point.' That said, Anderson did take advantage of the process to spend time fixing things he hadn't been 100 percent pleased with in the previous releases, while also overseeing how his films translated to the new video and audio formats, which isn't always a straight one-to-one. 'In the process of this Criterion box set, for instance, there were things that we could refine,' said Anderson. 'There were things that didn't translate quite right in the original home video versions that we corrected.' Focus Features' 'The Phoenician Scheme' is in select theaters now and will be released nationwide Friday, June 6. Criterion will release 'The Wes Anderson Archive: Ten Films, Twenty-Five Years' on Tuesday, September 30. You can pre-order here.

This Popular Ice Cream Chain is Closing 500 Locations—Here's What to Know
It's never any fun when a favorite institution shuts down. When Blockbuster and Hollywood Video closed, I cried for nearly a week straight. Sure, I can't imagine life without Netflix now, but who could've ever predicted that we'd see the end of VHS tapes in our lifetime? We were just figuring out how to use a Blu-ray player.

The brand has developed a cult-like following and even made its way into the freezer section of some grocery stores, and it's had a good run for the better part of 85 years. Unfortunately, the chain will no longer be available in Rite-Aid locations due to Chapter 11 bankruptcy filings affecting over 500 Thrifty's locations. While there are a few standalone franchise locations and you can still find it in the freezer aisle of some grocers, the locations inside Rite-Aid pharmacies will all be closing as they're not able to be sold as separate assets from the Rite-Aid brand.

5 features you need on your next 4K Blu-ray player
Gone are the glory days of DVDs. Following the rise of smart TVs, which come with some of the best streaming services built right into them, disc-players have suffered a huge blow in popularity. Physical media might be on its way out, but there are plenty of reasons to push back against the modern times. Whether you're Wi-Fi is down or you want the absolute best quality for movie nights, Blu-ray players are the way to go. But not every Blu-ray player is the same. Cheaper models only come with HD (1080p) support and skimp on more premium features. And while you could just use your PS5 instead, you'd similarly miss out several key enhancements that come with worthwhile Blu-ray players. Here's what to look out for. HDR (High Dynamic Range) is an absolute must for those wanting the best picture, as it significantly enhances visual performance by making the most of your TV. These days, most displays come equipped with some sort of HDR support, but higher-end models will cast a wider net for different HDR formats. The most popular HDR format is Dolby Vision, and higher-end HDR-enabled Blu-ray players are more likely to support it. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. It's important to note, however, that there are currently no Samsung TVs that support Dolby Vision. Instead, Samsung TVs only have access to HDR10, HDR10+ and HLG. You don't necessarily need HDR10+, but it should probably be on your wish list if you own a Samsung TV. Audio is also important. Why shell out a few hundred bucks on a 4K Blu-ray player if you can't get high-quality audio, too? Dolby Atmos is a prime feature to keep your eye out for, as it grants you access to one of the most popular enhanced audio formats. Some Blu-ray players will only have access to Dolby Digital or analog audio outputs, so make sure to read what's supported before making a final purchase. You might even find a model that supports a second HDMI output specifically for audio, which is helpful if your TV doesn't support Dolby Atmos or DTS:X passthrough. Although most of the best TVs will have 4K-upscaling on their own, you might want your DVD player to provide it all the same. As the name suggests, it will upscale 1080p and 720p content to 4K resolution (3840 x 2160 pixels). These additional pixels provide added detail, but it will never quite match the raw potential available in native 4K content. Upscaling allows you to experience content that might've come about before the advent of 4K. It also allows you to save a few bucks on older DVDs that are pricier in their 4K format (like this "Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence" 4K remaster I've had my eyes on). Just like me, I'm sure you have an entire closet packed with old DVDs. I've even got all seasons of "Miami Vice," which makes 4K-upscaling a pure treat for this sort of older DVD. That said, if you want the absolute best picture possible for your 4K TV, make sure to buy discs that specify "4K Ultra HD." It might seem counterintuitive to look for a Blu-ray player with networking capabilities if you're buying a Blu-ray player to bypass streaming altogether, but it doesn't hurt to have this feature in your back pocket. 4K Blu-ray players aren't always complete products at launch. In other words, they might have updates down the line to improve performance or to add features over time. A 4K Blu-ray player will always net you the best possible viewing experience through higher bandwidth, uncompressed audio and a wider color gamut (to name a few reasons). But it also doesn't hurt to have a few extra services on hand if you want them — especially something like YouTube or Spotify when you're in the mood for some music. As mentioned, there are varied types of Blu-rays to buy on the market. Due to these variations, you'll find a multitude of assorted Blu-ray players built for various formats. Standard Blu-rays are typically the cheapest and most common of the bunch, and often come in either blue- or red-colored cases. Some Blu-ray players might not have access to more niche types of formats — like 3D Blu-rays, for instance — and players built specifically for standard Blu-ray discs won't be compatible with UHD versions. I personally wouldn't go for the 3D options, as you'll be paying more for a feature that's long outdated at this point (though here have been signs that 3D TVs are poised for a comeback). It's best to find one that's specific to the 4K UHD format. These models tend to offer you the widest range of compatibility, but not every single disc might work. For instance, rewritable or even CD disks might not be compatible, so if you want broader coverage, check the player's list of disc format support. One of the main drags for getting a dedicated Blu-ray player versus using something you already own (like an Xbox Series X or PS5 Pro) is, of course, price. It's no secret that Blu-ray players are pretty expensive, especially those that wrangle all of the features listed above. One of our favorite Blu-ray players, the Oppo UDP-203, sold for over $1,000 online. It's one serious disc player, but most people don't need this kind of device. There are excellent, budget-friendly models out there, but they have to fit into the type of content you want to experience. Take, for instance, the $64 Panasonic DMP-BD90P-K, which offers Dolby Digital sound, Full-HD picture performance and upscaling. Note, however, that it only upscales to 1080p — not 4K. That's not the most thorough player on the market, but if it meets your general movie-watching needs, it's not a bad deal. However, most of the best Blu-ray players for crisp 4K are usually priced anywhere from around $200 to over $400. To simplify things, here are two of my favorite Blu-ray players.. The Panasonic DP-UB820-K is one of the best on the market, while the brand-new Sony UBP-X700M is a fantastic value-forward pick. This Panasonic 4K Blu-ray player comes with most of the best features you could ask for in a home entertainment system. It has Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos support, Alexa and Google Assistant. It also features upscaling for converting 1080p video to 4K, plus Panasonic's HCX (Hollywood Cinema Experience) processor and 4K High Precision Chroma Processing for better color output and detail. Sony's UPB-X700 Blu-ray player just got a major update that gives it some pretty significant upgrades at nearly the same price of its predecessor. With networking capabilities, Dolby Vision support and 4K upscaling, Sony's newest system remains one of the best you can buy if you're looking to keep costs down. But, remember, you still have to buy the DVDs themselves, and 4K UHDs can be pricey. That's why 4K upscaling is highly recommended, so you don't always have to rely on the more expensive discs, even when they offer the undisputed best picture on the block.
