MARS ATTACKS! [4K UHD] (1996): "If you enjoyed other Tim Burton films like Pee-wee's Big Adventure or Beetlejuice, you seem likely to get into Mars Attacks! The movie presents a spotty affair but includes enough entertainment to merit a look." Starring Jack Nicholson, Glenn Close. Warner, $29.98, 8/11/2026.

IDENTITY: COLLECTOR'S EDITION [4K UHD] (2003): "With a good cast and an intriguing premise, Identity seems poised to impress. However, the movie feels too interested in its quirks and twists so it becomes less than effective in the end." Starring John Cusack, Amanda Peet. Arrow, $49.95, 8/25/2026.

A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM [BLU-RAY] (1935): "Thanks to a ‘spare no expense’ approach from the studio, this 1935 A Midsummer Night’s Dream often becomes a visual delight. However, the rest of it flops, as the adaptation suffers from poor pacing, awkward storytelling and a slew of terrible performances." Starring James Cagney, Jean Muir. Warner, $21.99, 8/4/2026.

THE SAINT (LIMITED EDITION STEELBOOK) [4K UHD] (1997): "With a good director, a solid cast and a potentially dynamic plot, The Saint should sizzle. Instead, it becomes a mushy mess that never finds a groove." Starring Val Kilmer, Elisabeth Shue. Paramount, $43.99, 8/25/2026.

MACAO [BLU-RAY] (1952): "Despite its existence as a noir tale with two magnetic leads, Macao fails to ignite. The story seems oddly meandering and stars Robert Mitchum and Jane Russell don’t click enough to compensate." Starring Robert Mitchum, Jane Russell. Warner, $21.99, 8/4/2025.

COAL MINER'S DAUGHTER [BLU-RAY] (1980): "Like most biopics, Coal Miner’s Daughter bites off more territory than it can chew. That said, because it focuses on the core relationship between its leads, it does much better than most and turns into a fairly engaging drama." Starring Sissy Spacek, Tommy Lee Jones. Universal, $14.98, 1/7/2014.
