BRING HER BACK [4K UHD] (2025): "Despite some positives, Bring Her Back comes with too many predictable elements to really connect. While the movie provides some scares and creepy impact, the story just leaves the audience ahead of the characters too much of the time." Starring Billy Barratt, Sally Hawkins. A24, $35.00, 8/19/2025.

BRIGHT LEAF [BLU-RAY] (1950): "A mix of film noir and Southern potboiler, Bright Leaf proves satisfying through its first act or so. After that, however, it meanders and loses impact as it goes." Starring Gary Cooper, Lauren Bacall. Warner, $21.99, 7/29/25.

LOST IN SPACE: COLLECTOR'S EDITION [4K UHD] (1998): "No one can call Lost In Space a classic film, and I definitely understand those who loathe it. However, I think the movie offers a reasonably exciting and entertaining piece of work that may not hold up to much scrutiny but it still comes across as moderate fun." Starring William Hurt, Mimi Rogers. Arrow, $49.95, 9/2/2025.

HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON [BLU-RAY] (2025): "This live-action remake of How to Train Your Dragon clings close to the source but nonetheless improves on it in a moderate manner. The 2025 update comes with superior action and a bit more emotion." Starring Mason Thames, Gerard Butler. Universal, $29.98, 8/12/2025.

CREEPSHOW 2: COLLECTOR'S EDITION [4K UHD] (1987): "As an inexpensive sequel, Creepshow 2 doesn’t bomb but it also fails to provide anything that I’d call memorable. Sluggish and without much inspiration, it never develops into a compelling horror experience." Starring Lois Chiles, George Kennedy. Arrow, $49.95, 9/30/2025.

PAPER MOON: CRITERION COLLECTION [4K UHD] (1973): "A conscious throwback to the styles of the 1930s, Paper Moon offers a charming experience. With a nice mix of drama, sentiment and comedy, the film becomes a winner." Starring Ryan O'Neal, Tatum O'Neal. Criterion, $49.95, 11/26/2024.
