KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND TABLE [BLU-RAY] (1953): "Although it shows the widescreen capabilities of Cinemascope pretty well, Knights of the Round Table sputters as a piece of entertainment. Scattered, dull and without drama, it becomes a bland telling of the King Arthur legend." Starring Robert Taylor, Ava Gardner. Warner, $21.99, 7/29/25.
KUNG FU PANDA 2 [BLU-RAY 3D] (2011): "With Kung Fu Panda 2, we find a film that improves on its predecessor. Funnier, smarter and more engaging, the sequel works pretty well." Starring Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman. DreamWorks, $14.98, 12/13/2011.
SELF/LESS (2025 REISSUE) [BLU-RAY] (2015): "Though known as a director with a creative visual eye, Tarsem Singh’s work on Self/less provides no hint of those skills. The movie comes across as generic in all possible ways, and it lacks any bite." Starring Ryan Reynolds, Ben Kingsley. Universal, $19.98, 7/15/2025.
SOUL MEN [BLU-RAY] (2008): "If you hoped that Soul Men would provide a good swansong for Bernie Mac, you’ll be disappointed. He and co-star Samuel L. Jackson do their best to enliven the proceedings, but the messy melange of comedy and drama fails to entertain." Starring Samuel L. Jackson, Bernie Mac. Weinstein Company, $25.99, 2/10/2009.
THE PRISONER OF ZENDA [BLU-RAY] (1952): "As a mix of romance and intrigue, The Prisoner of Zenda holds up pretty well after 73 years. A good cast and a solid sense of narrative development help make it an entertaining tale." Starring Stewart Granger, Deborah Kerr. Warner, $21.99, 7/29/2025.
GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS: COLLECTOR'S EDITION [BLU-RAY] (1992): "While I can’t say Glengarry Glen Ross bowled me over, it provided a crisp and crackling piece of work buoyed by a slew of excellent performances." Starring Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon. Shout, $22.97, 6/2/2020.
