CRIME 101 [4K UHD] (2026): "Parts of Crime 101 work well and I liked it a lot when I first viewed it. However, a second screening revealed more problems than I discerned theatrically, and these make me now see it as a watchable but flawed thriller." Starring Chris Hemsworth, Halle Berry. MGM, $34.99, 6/30/2026.

THE DARK BACKWARD [BLU-RAY] (1991): "When Wayne Newton delivers the best performance in a movie, I know I’m in trouble. The Dark Backward tries hard to seem inventively warped and weird but it just becomes stupid and offensive." Starring Judd Nelson, Bill Paxton. Sony, $30.99, 5/19/2026.

IF I HAD LEGS I'D KICK YOU [BLU-RAY] (2025): "As a character study, If I Had Legs I’d Kick You works mainly thanks to a strong lead performance from Rose Byrne. However, too much of the rest of the movie suffers from ups and downs for it to succeed as a whole." Starring Rose Byrne, Conan O'Brien. A24, $30.00, 5/26/2026.

IT'S A WISE CHILD [BLU-RAY] (1931): "An early talkie adapted from a stage production, It’s a Wise Child provides a loose narrative without a lot of charm. Though the film throws out a few laughs and never quite bores, it also just doesn’t function as a terribly engaging comedy." Starring Marion Davies, Sidney Blackmer. Warner, $21.99, 5/26/2026.

RUMBLE IN THE BRONX: COLLECTOR'S EDITION [4K UHD] (1995): "Rumble in the Bronx helped make Jackie Chan a star in the US, but it doesn’t hold up especially well more than three decades later. It lacks the zing necessary to become anything more than only sporadically watchable." Starring Jackie Chan, Anita Mui. Arrow, $219.95, 6/30/2026.

THE 5-MAN ARMY [BLU-RAY] (1969): "At its core, The 5-Man Army offers the bones of a lively heist flick. As executed, though, it seems meandering and dull." Starring Peter Graves, James Daly. Warner, $21.99, 5/26/2026.
