WESTWORLD: COLLECTOR'S EDITION [4K UHD] (1973): "Despite an inspired premise, Westworld sputters too much of the time. The movie fails to develop its themes and characters in a satisfying manner, as it dallies too much and wastes a lot of its limited length." Starring Yul Brynner, James Brolin. Arrow, $59.95, 2/24/2026.

WEIRD: THE AL YANKOVIC STORY [BLU-RAY] (2022): "A wild and wooly comedic – and extremely inaccurate – look at its subject’s life, Weird: The Al Yankovic Story becomes an unexpected treat. Given my lack of fondness for Al’s songs, I figured it’d be tedious and groan-worthy, but the flick proves clever and often hilarious." Starring Daniel Radcliffe, Evan Rachel Wood. Shout, $19.98, 12/12/2023.

A WOMAN UNDER THE INFLUENCE: CRITERION COLLECTION [BLU-RAY] (1974): "As a depiction of mental illness, A Woman Under the Influence suffers from a borderline campy lead performance from its lead actor. Add to that an overly long running time and too many monotonous scenes and we wind up with a pretty awful movie." Starring Gena Rowlands, Peter Falk. Criterion, $39.95, 2/10/2026.

WARGAMES: SPECIAL EDITION [BLU-RAY] (1983): "One might expect a silly, quaint period piece from 1983’s WarGames, but I think it usually manages to transcend its age. With a clever premise and some nice performances, the movie holds up well." Starring Matthew Broderick, Ally Sheedy. Shout, $29.98, 12/20/2022.

NETWORK: CRITERION COLLECTION [BLU-RAY] (1976): "50 years after its release, Network seems better remembered as a catchphrase than as a film, which is an ironic fate for a picture determined to knock such simpleminded behaviors. The movie delivers a flawed but compelling work that boasts enough strengths to merit a viewing." Starring Faye Dunaway, William Holden. Criterion, $39.95, 2/24/2026.

THE NARROW MARGIN [BLU-RAY] (1952): "A tight thriller in the Hitchcock vein, The Narrow Margin delivers an engaging affair. It crackles and keeps us invested from start the finish." Starring Charles McGraw, Marie Windsor. Warner, $21.99, 1/27/2026.
