GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON'T DIE [BLU-RAY] (2026): "A decidedly high concept adventure about the potential dangers of technology, Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die manages moderate entertainment. However, it pours on heavy-handed messages and seems too inconsistent to become more than sporadically successful." Starring Sam Rockwell, Haley Lu Richardson. Universal, $27.98, 4/21/2026.
WARGAMES [4K UHD] (1983): "One might expect a silly, quaint period piece from 1983’s WarGames, but I think it usually manages to transcend its age. With a clever premise and some nice performances, the movie holds up well." Starring Matthew Broderick, Ally Sheedy. Shout, $29.98, 12/20/2022.
SLEEPERS [4K UHD] (1996): "While Sleepers ends up as one of Barry Levinson’s better movies, that doesn’t mean it comes without flaws. It gives us an interesting and occasionally emotional tale but it lacks the depth and intelligence to make it something more involving and dynamic." Starring Kevin Bacon, Robert De Niro. Warner, $29.98, 4/21/2026.
SING SING [BLU-RAY] (2024): "Thanks to an excellent lead performance from Colman Domingo, Sing Sing remains a more than watchable prison story. However, an lack of creativity and odd tonal choices make it less successful than it should be." Starring Colman Domingo, Clarence Maclin. A24, $29.98, 1/7/2025.
INNERSPACE: COLLECTOR'S EDITION [4K UHD] (1987): "Innerspace offers one of those films that largely entertains but fails to make much of an impression. The movie provides acceptable levels of fun and adventure, but something about it seems less than spectacular." Starring Dennis Quaid, Martin Short. Arrow, $59.95, 4/28/2026.
THE SUBSTITUTE [4K UHD] (1996): "Despite its unusual high school setting, The Substitute adds up to little more than a mediocre action thriller. It comes with too few strengths to develop into an effective tale." Starring Tom Berenger, Ernie Hudson. Vestron, $39.97, 3/17/2026.
THE LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS (2026 REMASTER) [BLU-RAY] (1960): "66 years after its release, The Little Shop of Horrors remains remembered for its 1980s adaptation and its early big screen appearance from a young Jack Nicholson. Otherwise, we get a movie with a clever premise and iffy execution." Starring Jonathan Haze, Jackie Joseph. Film Masters, $24.99, 2/24/2026.
UNFORGIVEN (REMASTER) [BLU-RAY] (1992): "As a film, Unforgiven comes wth some merits and offers a generally strong piece of work. The movie gives us a somewhat forced but moderately thoughtful treatise on violence, so while it doesn’t totally achieve its goals, it works fairly well overall." Starring Clint Eastwood, Gene Hackman. Warner, $24.98, 5/16/2017.
