LETTY LYNTON [BLU-RAY] (1932): "A film not seen for nearly a century due to legal issues, Letty Lynton brings a spotty mix of romance and drama. It starts slowly and gets better along the way, though it never quite turns into a genuinely good movie." Starring Joan Crawford, Robert Montgomery. Warner, $21.99, 6/30/2026.
KICK-ASS 2 [BLU-RAY] (2013): "Although I thought the first Kick-Ass didn’t live up to expectations, it looks like a superhero classic compared to the subpar Kick-Ass 2. Nothing about it connects so it winds up as a tepid mess." Starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Chloë Grace Moretz. Universal, $9.98, 12/17/2013.
THIRTY SECONDS OVER TOKYO [BLU-RAY] (1944): "As a WWII movie made during the conflict, Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo provides an interesting historical curiosity. 82 years later, it feels somewhat stiff and without much depth, but it still delivers a decent look at a famous topic." Starring Spencer Tracy, Van Johnson. Warner, $21.99, 6/30/2026.
JAWS: 50TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION [4K UHD] (1975): "After more than 50 years, Jaws remains one of the all-time great films. Tight, briskly-paced and fully engrossing, it deserves its status as a classic." Starring Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw, Richard Dreyfuss. Universal, $24.98, 6/17/2025.
DEEP WATER [BLU-RAY] (2026): "Renny Harlin’s first shark-related movie in 27 years, Deep Water can’t live up to even the minor thrills of Deep Blue Sea. Clumsy and clunky and almost entirely devoid of excitement or tension, this one becomes a thorough dud." Starring Aaron Eckhart, Ben Kingsley. Magenta Light, $34.98, 7/14/2026.
DESTINATION MOON [BLU-RAY] (1950): "76 years ago, Destination Moon broke ground as an early entry in the space flight film genre. Although that gives it a place in history, it doesn’t make the slow-paced and stiff end result entertaining." Starring John Archer, Warner Anderson. Film Masters, $34.95, 7/14/2026.
