POWER BALLAD [BLU-RAY] (2026): "As a tale of a failed musician who gets a sniff of the big time, Power Ballad seems as contrived as its punning title. While it sporadically kicks to life, the movie feels phony and fails to click." Starring Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas. Lionsgate, $39.99, 8/25/2026.

PRESENTING LILY MARS [BLU-RAY] (1943): "While the basic script of Presenting Lily Mars doesn’t bring much fresh, its execution allows the movie to entertain. With a solid cast and a fairly brisk pace, we get an engaging combination of music, romance and comedy." Starring Judy Garland, Van Heflin. Warner, $21.99, 8/4/2026.

GO: COLLECTOR'S EDITION [4K UHD] (1999): "While Go should probably be stuck in a late 1990s time capsule, it still manages to entertain years later. The movie suffers from a few more ups and downs than I’d like, but it throws out enough wild antics to keep us interested." Starring Sarah Polley, Katie Holmes. Arrow, $49.95, 9/29/2026.

THE SEVENTH CROSS [BLU-RAY] (1944): "On paper, The Seventh Cross offers a taut thriller about a man on the run from the Nazis. As executed, though, the movie seems oddly sluggish and without much tension." Starring Spencer Tracy, Signe Hasso. Warner, $21.99, 8/4/2026.

THE BIKERIDERS [4K UHD] (2024): "As a look at a motorcycle gang, The Bikeriders does enough to keep the viewer with it. However, it lacks real depth or momentum and suffers from a few too many self-inflicted wounds." Starring Jodie Comer, Austin Butler. Universal, $24.98, 8/13/2024.

AUNTIE MAME [BLU-RAY] (1958): "While not exactly a plot-heavy affair, Auntie Mame still becomes a largely delightful affair. Rosalind Russell’s brassy performance does most of the heavy lifting and helps make this a lively comedy." Starring Rosalind Russell, Forrest Tucker. Warner, $21.99, 12/5/2017.
