BACKROOMS [4K UHD] (2026): "As the debut from director Kane Parsons, Backrooms displays promise. However, the film tends to feel too thin and it lacks the bite it needs to really succeed." Starring Chiwetel Ejiofor, Renate Reinsve. A24, $35.00, 8/21/2026.

FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S 2 [BLU-RAY] (2025): "Though I didn’t care for the first film, I hoped Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 might deliver a lively horror fantasy. Unfortunately, it also squanders its potential and fails to turn into anything other than a clumsy dud." Starring Josh Hutcherson, Elizabeth Lail. Universal, $27.98, 2/17/2026.

THE HOT SPOT [4K UHD] (1990): "While the film consistently boasts excellent cinematography, The Hot Spot comes with too many other issues to become an involving neo-noir. The film plods across its extended running time and never really kicks into gear." Starring Don Johnson, Virginia Madsen. Radiance, $49.95, 9/1/26.

HARVEY [4K UHD] (1950): "Although not a particularly narrative-driven tale, Harvey gets by on basic charm. The movie enjoys a warm spirit that makes it mostly work." Starring James Stewart, Josephine Hull. Universal, $21.99, 8/19/2025.

DISCLOSURE DAY [BLU-RAY] (2026): "Steven Spielberg returns to the topic of alien/human contact via the highly disappointing Disclosure Day. Even if I ignore the absurd ending, the movie bores too much of the time and lacks the sense of magic the filmmaker brought to his earlier classics in the genre." Starring Emily Blunt, Josh O'Connor. Universal, $29.98, 8/25/2026.

FIELD OF DREAMS [4K UHD] (1989): "While I felt prepared to dislike this screening of Field of Dreams, I actually found it to be fairly charming and entertaining. The aspects of the film that turned me off in the past melted away as I got caught up in its gentle fantasy and emotion." Starring Kevin Costner, Amy Madigan. Universal, $12.99, 5/14/2019.
