HOKUM [BLU-RAY] (2026): "Although parts of Hokum connect, too much of the movie seems a bit meandering. While it never loses the viewer, it fails to live up to its potential." Starring Adam Scott, Peter Coonan. Neon, $42.98, 8/11/2026.
FLIGHT TO MARS (2026 REMASTER) [BLU-RAY] (1951): "Flight to Mars might boast some value as a throwback to 1950s sci-fi, the film itself bores. Even at a mere 72 minutes, the movie moves slowly and becomes a chore to watch." Starring Cameron Mitchell, Marguerite Chapman. Film Masters, $34.95, 7/14/2026.
LAST SUMMER [BLU-RAY] (1969): "Groundbreaking in 1969, Last Summer seems tedious in 2026. The movie offers a less sanitized version of teen life than usual back then but it fails to develop intriguing characters or compelling events." Starring Barbara Hershey, Richard Thomas. Warner, $21.99, 7/14/2026.
LILLY TURNER [BLU-RAY] (1933): "A melodrama that reflects its era, Lilly Turner can veer silly at times. Nonetheless, a good lead performance from Ruth Chatterton and a brisk pace help ensure the audience stays with it." Starring Ruth Chatterton, George Brent. Warner, $21.99, 7/28/2026.
MICHAEL [4K UHD] (2026): "As a look at the life and career of Michael Jackson, Michael proves moderately entertaining but awfully superficial. It fabricates too many of the facts and becomes sporadically enjoyable but flawed." Starring Jaafar Jackson, Colman Domingo. Lionsgate, $42.99, 7/14/2026.
THE OUTFIT: COLLECTOR'S EDITION [BLU-RAY] (1973): "With Robert Duvall cast against type as a criminal bent on revenge, The Outfit benefits from a very good cast. As a whole package, the film doesn’t ever quite excel, but it still becomes a fairly involving thriller." Starring Robert Duvall, Karen Black. Arrow, $39.95, 7/28/2026.
