Brad Pitt, Logan Lerman. Sony, $34.99, 1/27/2015.
April, 1945. As the Allies make their final push in the European Theatre, a battle-hardened army sergeant named Wardaddy commands a Sherman tank and his five-man crew on a deadly mission behind enemy lines. Out-numbered, out-gunned, and with a rookie soldier thrust into their platoon, Wardaddy and his men face overwhelming odds in their heroic attempts to strike at the heart of Nazi Germany.

BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP [BLU-RAY]: (2014) "Despite a strong lead performance from Nicole Kidman, Before I Go to Sleep sputters due to its derivative nature. It comes with too many influences and it never makes a real name for itself." Starring Nicole Kidman, Colin Firth. Fox, $29.99, 1/27/2015.
MEMENTO (TENTH ANNIVERSARY EDITION) [BLU-RAY]: (2000) "A genuinely unusual and intriguing movie, Memento provides something different for the film noir genre. It never falls back on gimmicks and it seems like a consistently entertaining and compelling effort." Starring Guy Pearce, Carrie-Anne Moss. Lionsgate, $22.49, 2/22/2011.
THE RAZOR'S EDGE [BLU-RAY]: (1946) "With a good source story, The Razor’s Edge could become a solid character drama. Unfortunately, some issues with casting and adaptation turn it into a lackluster film." Starring Tyrone Power, Gene Tierney. Fox, $24.99, 1/13/2015.
PLANET OF THE APES: (1968) "Planet of the Apes works well as nothing more than a science fiction action film, which is part of its enduring popularity. Of all the negatives that could have been attached to this movie, it may flirt with some of them but they never stick. Ultimately it's a fun and satisfying adventure that still gets the job done after more than 45 years." Starring Charlton Heston, Roddy McDowall. Fox, $16.99, 6/14/2014.
THE DISAPPEARANCE OF ELEANOR RIGBY [BLU-RAY]: (2014) "When viewed as intended via two separate movies, The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby works fairly well. However, the edited 'Them' feels less satisfying and effective." Starring James McAvoy, Jessica Chastain. Anchor Bay, $34.99, 2/3/2015.
THE DIRTY DOZEN [BLU-RAY]: (1967) "Gritty and exciting, The Dirty Dozen provides an enduring action movie. Though the film rambles at times, it mostly sticks with a lively tale that works well after nearly 50 years." Starring Lee Marvin, Ernest Borgnine. Warner, $14.97, 1/25/2011.
ANIMAL [BLU-RAY]: (2014) "A hackneyed horror flick without originality, Animal seems as generic as its title. Whatever suspense it could muster fails to emerge due to its thin story and forgettable characters/situations." Starring Keke Palmer, Elizabeth Gillies. Shout! Factory, $19.97, 2/17/2015.
