GEORGE STEVENS: A FILMMAKER'S JOURNEY [4K UHD] (1984): "With George Stevens: A Filmmaker’s Journey, we find a generally interesting look at a Hollywood legend. Although the documentary suffers from too many movie clips, it does more right than wrong." Starring George Stevens. Sony, $29.99, 5/12/2026.
INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS [4K UHD] (1956): "The initial adaptation of a novel that’d see multiple film versions, the 1956 Invasion of the Body Snatchers continues to work well after 70 years. While I prefer the 1978 take on the story, this first movie still seems spooky and eerie." Starring Kevin McCarthy, Dana Wynter. Kino Lorber, $24.99, 7/16/2024.
GIRLS [4K UHD] (1984): "In theory, Girls presents a ‘coming of age’ narrative about teens on the verge of womanhood. However, that gives this sketchy and nearly plot-free affair more credit than it deserves, as the end product doesn’t bring interesting characters or situations." Starring Anne Parillaud, Zoé Chauveau. Cult Epics, $34.95, 4/21/2026.
PRIVATE BENJAMIN [BLU-RAY] (1980): "Back in 1980, Private Benjamin became a surprise hit, and it holds up pretty well after more than 45 years. While not without flaws, the movie becomes a largely endearing form of ‘coming of age’ comedy/drama." Starring Goldie Hawn, Eileen Brennan. Warner, $21.99, 4/28/2026.
THE WALK [4K UHD] (2015): "To a certain degree, The Walk feels like 90 minutes of build-up. The movie comes together in its final act, but that first three-fourths can be tough sledding." Starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ben Kingsley. Sony, $34.99, 5/19/2026.
WANDAVISION: THE COMPLETE SERIES [4K UHD] (2021): "A daring and inventive branch of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, WandaVision turns into a provocative and clever series. It subverts MCU expectations and becomes a vivid collection of shows." Starring Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bettany. Disney, $39.99, 11/28/2023.
