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.

THE PAPER: SEASON ONE [BLU-RAY] (2025): "As a spinoff from The Office, The Paper needs to fill big shoes. It can’t live up to those expectations but it still becomes a largely enjoyable sitcom." Starring Domhnall Gleeson, Sabrina Impacciatore. Universal, $29.98, 7/28/2026.

PRETTY MAIDS ALL IN A ROW [BLU-RAY] (1970): "A mix of violence, sex and comedy, Pretty Maids All in a Row comes with promise. Unfortunately, it can’t live up to its potential, as the end product seems muddled and witless." Starring Rock Hudson, Angie Dickinson. Warner, $21.99, 6/30/2026.

SOYLENT GREEN: COLLECTOR'S EDITION [4K UHD] (1973): "More than 50 years after its original release, Soylent Green has become known better as a punchline than as a movie. The flick itself relies a little too heavily on its famous ending for power and doesn’t seem great on its own, though it has some very good moments." Starring Charlton Heston, Edward G. Robinson. Arrow, $49.95, 7/28/2026.

START THE REVOLUTION WITHOUT ME [BLU-RAY] (1970): "A madcap comedy that plays with French history for laughs, Start the Revolution Without Me manages reasonable entertainment value. While it lacks consistency, it hits the mark often enough to become a lively ride." Starring Gene Wilder, Donald Sutherland. Warner, $21.99, 6/30/2026.
