FOLLOW ME QUIETLY [BLU-RAY] (1949): "Given a solid basic concept and plot, Follow Me Quietly came with the potential to deliver a taut and dynamic noir serial killer tale. Unfortunately, it only sporadically comes to life." Starring William Lundigan, Dorothy Patrick. Warner, $21.99, 5/26/2026.

POKEMON DETECTIVE PIKACHU [BLU-RAY 3D] (2019): "As I went into Pokémon Detective Pikachu with hopes it’d become something clever and memorable, the end result provides a letdown. While not without occasional entertainment value, the film fails to exploit its potential positives well." Starring Justice Smith, Ryan Reynolds. Warner, $19.99, 8/6/2019.

MORTAL KOMBAT: COLLECTOR'S EDITION [BLU-RAY] (1995): "Back in 1995, Mortal Kombat emerged as the first successful movie adaptation of a video game. I don’t know why, as I can’t find anything appealing about this dull, dumb action flick." Starring Christopher Lambert, Robin Shou. Arrow, $64.95, 6/30/2026.

WONDER WOMAN 1984 [BLU-RAY 3D] (2020): "After the success of the first movie, Wonder Woman 1984 offers a moderate disappointment. While the film enjoys some good moments, it drags too much and turns into a bit of a mess." Starring Gal Gadot, Kristen Wiig. Warner, $35.99, 3/30/2021.

MARLOWE: COLLECTOR'S EDITION [BLU-RAY] (1969): "Miscast and oddly directionless, Marlowe becomes a spotty detective story. Though it still musters enough entertainment value to keep us with it, the tale never really clicks like it should." Starring James Garner, Gayle Hunnicutt. Arrow, $39.95, 6/9/2026.

TEXAS CHAINSAW [BLU-RAY/BLU-RAY 3D] (2013): "An attempt to ‘reset’ the world of Leatherface and ignore decades of sequels, Texas Chainsaw comes with a slew of problems. It fails to balance these with anything memorable or vivid so it turns into a pretty lousy horror flick." Starring Alexandra Daddario, Dan Yeagher. Lionsgate, $14.99, 5/20/2013.
