PASSENGER [BLU-RAY] (2026): "An attempt to make road trips scary, Passenger enjoys a reasonably decent premise. Unfortunately, it pursues its themes in a manner that makes the end product sluggish and silly." Starring Lou Llobell, Jacob Scipio. Paramount, $31.99, 9/8/2026.

THE PURGE: ELECTION YEAR [BLU-RAY] (2016): "As the third in a franchise, one shouldn’t expect anything from The Purge: Election Year beyond the same old. This doesn’t make it a bad movie but it seems perfunctory at best." Starring Frank Grillo, Elizabeth Mitchell. Universal, $14.98, 10/4/2016.

THE POPE'S EXORCIST [4K UHD] (2023): "In a well-trodden genre, can The Pope’s Exorcist give us anything creative? Not really, as other than its connection to the pontiff – and an overqualified lead actor – the film feels like just another cheap scarefest." Starring Russell Crowe, Daniel Zovatto. Sony, $34.99, 10/13/2023.

THE WINGS OF EAGLES [BLU-RAY] (1957): "Despite the remarkable life led by its lead subject, The Wings of Eagles brings us a mediocre biopic. The story lacks good pacing and fails to give us a quality examination of its subject." Starring John Wayne, Dan Dailey. Warner, $24.99, 8/25/2026.

LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS [4K UHD] (1986): "A quirky and generally likable movie musical, Little Shop of Horrors delivers a fun experience. It combines an odd story with good songs and many delightful performances to become a generally strong effort." Starring Rick Moranis, Ellen Greene. Warner, $29.98, 10/6/2026.

SOUTH PARK: THE COMPLETE TWENTY-FIFTH SEASON [BLU-RAY] (2022): "After the brief two-episode 24th season of South Park went well, I hoped for more of the same from Season 25. However, it gives us a mixed bag." Starring Trey Parker, Matt Stone. Paramount, $7.99, 4/4/2023.
