JASON GOES TO HELL: THE FINAL FRIDAY - COLLECTOR'S EDITION [4K UHD] (1993): "After a four-year break, the Friday the 13th franchise returned with a whimper via the sub-mediocre Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday. It might not be the worst in the series, but it’s closer to the bottom than to the top, as its minor innovation doesn’t offer enough creativity to overcome its multiple weaknesses." Starring John D. LeMay, Kari Keegan. Arrow, $49.95, 5/20/2025.

DIRTY HARRY [4K UHD] (1971): "With 1971’s Dirty Harry, one of the screen’s most iconic characters made his debut. I can’t say he did so in grand fashion, as Harry doesn’t provide stellar filmmaking, but it does act as a reasonably compelling action drama." Starring Clint Eastwood, Harry Guardino. Warner, $33.99, 4/29/2025.

THE ANDROMEDA STRAIN: COLLECTOR'S EDITION [4K UHD] (1971): "Given the talent involved, I hoped The Andromeda Strain would deliver a vivid sci-fi tale. After a promising opening, though, the film turns sluggish and it never manages to rebound from those flaws. Starring James Olson, Arthur Hill. Arrow, $49.95, 5/13/2025.

ASSASSIN'S CREED [4K UHD] (2016): "Any hopes that Assassin’s Creed would launch a cinematic franchise seem stillborn, as the movie flopped commercially. I can’t mourn its instantaneous death, as the film offers a dull, meandering affair that wastes the ample talent involved." Starring Michael Fassbender, Marion Cotillard. Fox, $39.99, 3/21/2017.

STAR TREK: SECTION 31 [BLU-RAY] (2025): "As the first Star Trek movie in almost a decade, I hoped Section 31 would bring an exciting adventure. Unfortunately, while the flick desperately wants to seem frisky and fun, instead it just comes across as desperate." Starring Michelle Yeoh, Sam Richardson. Paramount, $33.99, 4/29/2025.

THE GOOD GERMAN [BLU-RAY] (2006): "The Good German feels like a lark, a project designed to satisfying Steven Soderbergh’s inner film geek. It possesses some intriguing elements on the surface but it fails to explore them and ends up as a gimmick in search of a story." Starring George Clooney, Cate Blanchett. Warner, $21.99, 4/15/2025.
