CITIZEN VIGILANTE [BLU-RAY] (2026): "An incoherent racist rant in the form of a right-wing fantasy, Citizen Vigilante flops in all possible ways. Incompetently made and relentlessly offensive, the movie turns into an unwatchable failure. Starring Armie Hammer, Costas Mandylor. Yippee Ki-Yay Mother Video, $29.98, 10/20/2026.">

A BUCKET OF BLOOD (FILM MASTERS VERSION) [BLU-RAY] (1959): "A surprisingly lively look at an aspiring artist who resorts to murderous methods, A Bucket of Blood works pretty well. The movie melds genres in a positive way and enjoys a strong lead performance from Dick Miller." Starring Dick Miller, Barboura Morris. Film Masters, $31.99, 10/27/2026.

THE CORRUPTOR: COLLECTOR'S EDITION [BLU-RAY] (1999): "Part of Hong Kong legend Chow Yun-fat’s brief attempt at Hollywood stardom, The Corruptor offers a lackluster cop-based action flick. Its leads feel mismatched and its director fails to bring excitement or impact to the proceedings." Starring Chow Yun-fat, Mark Wahlberg. Toy Robot, $49.95, 11/10/2026.

COAL MINER'S DAUGHTER [4K UHD] (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, $24.98, 9/9/2025.

MIAMI BLUES: COLLECTOR'S EDITION [BLU-RAY] (1990): "An odd mix of styles and tones, Miami Blues occasionally entertains. However, it seems too disjointed to become anything consistently satisfying." Starring Alec Baldwin, Jennifer Jason Leigh. Radiance, $49.95, 11/17/2026.

THE PURGE: ELECTION YEAR [4K UHD] (2016): "As the third in a franchise, one shouldn’t expect anything from The Purge: Election Year beyond the same old. This doesn’t make it a bad movie but it seems perfunctory at best." Starring Frank Grillo, Elizabeth Mitchell. Universal, $14.98, 6/12/2018.
