INTERRUPTED MELODY [BLU-RAY] (1955): "Due to a weak script and a completely ridiculous performance from its lead, Interrupted Melody turns into a pretty awful biopic. Packed with cheap melodrama and awkwardly constructed, it generates unintentional laughs and nothing more." Starring Glenn Ford, Eleanor Parker. Warner, $21.99, 12/16/25.
RUMOR HAS IT... (2025 REISSUE) [BLU-RAY] (2005): "Rumor Has It… doesn’t live up to expectations. It throws away an intriguing concept and ends up as a relentlessly mediocre combination of comedy and drama." Starring Jennifer Aniston, Mark Ruffalo. Warner, $19.99, 11/18/2025.
SNAKES ON A PLANE: COLLECTOR'S EDITION [4K UHD] (2006): "While it didn’t turn out to be the hit some expected, Snakes on a Plane offers reasonable fun. No one will confuse it for great filmmaking, but it provides the expected level of cheesy entertainment." Starring Samuel L. Jackson, Julianna Margulies. Arrow, $49.95, 1/20/2026.
THE VALLEY OF DECISION [BLU-RAY] (1945): "Thanks to a miscast lead and a lack of creative inspiration, The Valley of Decision fails to click. Nothing about the basic plot dooms the movie but a mix of bad choices ensures it doesn’t work." Starring Greer Garson, Gregory Peck. Warner, $21.99, 12/16/2025.
THE SMASHING MACHINE [4K UHD] (2025): "Dwayne Johnson steps into something more dramatic than usual with The Smashing Machine but he fails to do much with the role. Given the movie’s generally thin characters and lack of real drama, though, I can’t blame him for the film’s lackluster nature." Starring Dwayne Johnson, Emily Blunt. A24, $34.99, 1/6/2026.
ON BORROWED TIME [BLU-RAY] (1939): "Despite a clever premise, On Borrowed Time doesn’t quite click. Though it picks up in its second half, it tends to move too slowly and feel too repetitive to connect." Starring Lionel Barrymore, Cedric Hardwicke. Warner, $21.99, 12/16/2025.
