THE HOUSE WITH LAUGHING WINDOWS: COLLECTOR'S EDITION [4K UHD] (1976): "An unusually restrained giallo effort, The House With Laughing Windows succeeds largely due to its more subdued nature. The movie evolves at a gradual rate that makes it all the more disturbing as its goes." Starring Lino Capolicchio, Francesca Marciano. Arrow, $49.95, 12/2/2025.

IT'S CHRISTMASTIME AGAIN, CHARLIE BROWN [BLU-RAY] (1992): "No one seems likely to prefer it to its classic 1965 predecessor, but 1992’s It’s Christmastime Again, Charlie Brown provides a perfectly credible sequel. It comes with enough wit and charm to make it worth a watch." Starring Jamie E. Smith, John Christian Graas. Warner, $79.99, 10/7/2025.

THE BREAKFAST CLUB: CRITERION COLLECTION [4K UHD] (1985): "While The Breakfast Club lacks the relevance it boasted for me when it hit in 1985, it still has its moments. I could live without all the melodrama, but there’s enough good material here to make it interesting." Starring Molly Ringwald, Judd Nelson. Criterion, $49.95, 11/4/2025.

DEF LEPPARD: DIAMOND STAR HEROES LIVE IN SHEFFIELD [4K UHD] (2023): "In their hometown and comfortable in a massive venue, Diamond Star Heroes Live From Sheffield gives us a pretty solid stadium concert from Def Leppard. We hear most of the band’s hits and the show gives us a good look at what made them so popular." Starring Def Leppard. Mercury, $34.98, 11/21/2025.

SPINAL TAP II: THE END CONTINUES [BLU-RAY] (2025): "41 years after the original movie, Spinal Tap II: The End Continues offers a depressingly awful reprise. With all of the prior flick’s core but none of its cleverness or wit, the sequel winds up as a massive blemish on their legacy." Starring Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, Harry Shearer. Decal, $19.98, 11/11/2025."

X: THE X TRILOGY [BLU-RAY] (2022): "A mix of Boogie Nights and Texas Chainsaw Massacre, X becomes a dull snoozefest. The film wears its pretensions on its sleeve and never becomes anything even vaguely compelling." Starring Mia Goth, Jenna Ortega. A24, $85.00, 10/21/2025.
