WARFARE [4K UHD] (2025): "With an approach to conflict that leans more realistic than most films, Warfare provides a fairly effective view of combat. The movie delivers a POV that doesn’t overdramatize, as it lets the violent events speak for themselves." Starring Joseph Quinn, D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai. A24, $34.98, 7/1/2025.
THE CITADEL [BLU-RAY] (1938): "As a depiction of a doctor torn between idealism and wealth, The Citadel works surprisingly well. Thanks to a strong lead performance from Robert Donat, the movie skirts its clichés most of the time to develop into a good drama." Starring Robert Donat, Rosalind Russell. Warner, $21.99, 6/24/2025.
HIGH SOCIETY [BLU-RAY] (1956): "A musical remake of The Philadelphia Story, High Society can’t hold a candle to its predecessor. Miscast and oddly spiritless, the updated version drags and fails to deliver the charm it needs." Starring Bing Crosby, Grace Kelly, Frank Sinatra. Warner, $21.99, 6/24/2025.
RHAPSODY IN BLUE [BLU-RAY] (1962): "A lightweight musical at heart, Rhapsody in Blue suffers from a running time better suited to an epic. This makes the movie drag and turn into a bit of a chore." Starring Robert Alda, Joan Leslie. Warner, $21.99, 5/27/2025.
LETHAL WEAPON [4K UHD] (1987): "An influential ‘buddy cop flick’, Lethal Weapon holds up reasonably well after almost 40 years. While not a great film, it creates positive entertainment and remains easily the best in its franchise." Starring Mel Gibson, Danny Glover. Warner, $33.99, 6/24/2025.
EXPERIMENT IN TERROR [BLU-RAY] (1962): "Much more of a ‘slow burn’ tale than its title and tagline imply, Experiment in Terror becomes a reasonably satisfying thriller. While it might benefit from a little more sizzle, I appreciate its understated tone and think its choices largely work." Starring Glenn Ford, Lee Remick. Sony, $26.99, 6/24/2025.
