ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN [4K UHD] (1976): "Understated but still dynamic, All the President’s Men holds up well after five decades. The movie benefits from its subtle tone and focuses on the story instead of melodrama or silliness." Starring Dustin Hoffman, Robert Redford. Warner, $29.98, 2/17/2026.
BY THE LIGHT OF THE SILVERY MOON [BLU-RAY] (1953): "Thanks to a charming turn from the always likable Doris Day and a good supporting cast, By the Light of the Silvery Moon maintains mild entertainment value. However, it seems so light and loose that it barely sticks to the celluloid." Starring Doris Day, Gordon MacRae. Warner, $21.99, 1/27/2026.
BEN-HUR [4K UHD] (1959): "More than 65 years after its initial release, Ben-Hur remains the definition of a screen epic. As a film, it still has a lot to offer - particularly in the excellent chariot race sequence - but some other elements didn’t age quite as well." Starring Charlton Heston, Jack Hawkins. Warner, $29.98, 2/17/2026.
WEIRD: THE AL YANKOVIC STORY [4K UHD] (2022): "A wild and wooly comedic – and extremely inaccurate – look at its subject’s life, Weird: The Al Yankovic Story becomes an unexpected treat. Given my lack of fondness for Al’s songs, I figured it’d be tedious and groan-worthy, but the flick proves clever and often hilarious." Starring Daniel Radcliffe, Evan Rachel Wood. Shout, $19.98, 12/12/2023.
SONG SUNG BLUE [BLU-RAY] (2025): "With its focus on a tribute band in the US Midwest, Song Sung Blue takes on an unusual topic. A tale of triumph and tragedy, it works due to the chemistry of its leads and its own plucky charm." Starring Hugh Jackman, Kate Hudson. Universal, $29.98, 2/17/2026.
SAN ANTONIO [BLU-RAY] (1945): "When San Antonio works, it does so thanks to star Errol Flynn and a capable supporting cast. Nothing else here stands out as memorable, though the end product remains moderately entertaining despite its thin plot." Starring Errol Flynn, Alexis Smith. Warner, $21.99, 12/16/2025.
