SLEEPERS [4K UHD] (1996): "While Sleepers ends up as one of Barry Levinson’s better movies, that doesn’t mean it comes without flaws. It gives us an interesting and occasionally emotional tale but it lacks the depth and intelligence to make it something more involving and dynamic." Starring Kevin Bacon, Robert De Niro. Warner, $29.98, 4/21/2026.
SING SING [BLU-RAY] (2024): "Thanks to an excellent lead performance from Colman Domingo, Sing Sing remains a more than watchable prison story. However, an lack of creativity and odd tonal choices make it less successful than it should be." Starring Colman Domingo, Clarence Maclin. A24, $29.98, 1/7/2025.
INNERSPACE: COLLECTOR'S EDITION [4K UHD] (1987): "Innerspace offers one of those films that largely entertains but fails to make much of an impression. The movie provides acceptable levels of fun and adventure, but something about it seems less than spectacular." Starring Dennis Quaid, Martin Short. Arrow, $59.95, 4/28/2026.
THE SUBSTITUTE [4K UHD] (1996): "Despite its unusual high school setting, The Substitute adds up to little more than a mediocre action thriller. It comes with too few strengths to develop into an effective tale." Starring Tom Berenger, Ernie Hudson. Vestron, $39.97, 3/17/2026.
THE LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS (2026 REMASTER) [BLU-RAY] (1960): "66 years after its release, The Little Shop of Horrors remains remembered for its 1980s adaptation and its early big screen appearance from a young Jack Nicholson. Otherwise, we get a movie with a clever premise and iffy execution." Starring Jonathan Haze, Jackie Joseph. Film Masters, $24.99, 2/24/2026.
UNFORGIVEN (REMASTER) [BLU-RAY] (1992): "As a film, Unforgiven comes wth some merits and offers a generally strong piece of work. The movie gives us a somewhat forced but moderately thoughtful treatise on violence, so while it doesn’t totally achieve its goals, it works fairly well overall." Starring Clint Eastwood, Gene Hackman. Warner, $24.98, 5/16/2017.
MONEYBALL [4K UHD] (2011): "Part drama, part propaganda, Moneyball entertains despite its flaws. I’m not wild about its factual liberties and ham-fisted ways, but with a talented cast and a fun premise, the movie works reasonably well." Starring Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill. Sony, $34.99. 4/28/2026.
MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS [4K UHD] (1974): "A classic murder mystery told in a fine manner, Murder on the Orient Express provides a satisfying experience. The movie moves briskly and uses its all-star cast well to create an engaging and entertaining throwback." Starring Albert Finney, Martin Balsam. Kino Lorber, $39.95, 9/24/2024.
