WICKED: THE REAL STORY [BLU-RAY] (2024): "Too much of Wicked: The Real Story devotes running time to efforts that led to Wicked. Once it gets to that project, though, it becomes considerably more engaging." Starring Gregory Maguire, Stephen Schwartz. Rising Sun, $24.99, 11/11/2025.

WINGS OF DESIRE: CRITERION COLLECTION [BLU-RAY] (1987): "Visually terrific but without much else at work, Wings of Desire scores some points because it doesn’t beat the viewer over the head with its themes or ideas. However, it goes a little too far in the opposite direction and fails to produce much more than lovely imagery." Starring Bruno Ganz, Solveig Dommartin. Criterion, $39.95, 11/3/2009.

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES III: COLLECTOR'S EDITION [4K UHD] (1993): "After two reasonably watchable adventures, the franchise falters with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III. Despite a potentially exciting story, the silliness and idiocy ensure its failure." Starring Paige Turco, Elias Koteas. Arrow, $99.95, 12/16/2025.

SECRET MALL APARTMENT [BLU-RAY] (2024): "On the surface, Secret Mall Apartment sounds like a fascinating story, and in the hands of different filmmakers, perhaps that would become the case. In this instance, however, the documentary turns into a maddeningly random and barely coherent take on the subject." Starring Michael Townsend, Adriana Valdez Young. Music Box, $29.99, 11/18/2025.

GABBY'S DOLLHOUSE: THE MOVIE [BLU-RAY] (2025): "Aimed at very young audiences, Gabby’s Dollhouse: The Movie manages to deliver acceptable entertainment for adults as well. This happens mainly due to a hilariously over the top performance from Kristen Wiig, as she salvages the tale for grownups." Starring Laila Lockhart Kraner, Kristen Wiig. Universal, $27.98, 11/25/2025.

IT'S LOVE I'M AFTER [BLU-RAY] (1937): "A trio of Hollywood legends combines for a delightful comedy romp. It’s Love I’m After manages to stay consistently lively and funny across its 90 minutes." Starring Leslie Howard, Bette Davis. Warner, $21.99, 11/25/2025.
