HYSTERIA! SEASON ONE [BLU-RAY] (2024): "A mix of satire, horror, dark drama and 1980s critique, Hysteria! delivers a largely satisfying series. While it meanders a little too much, it nonetheless connects in a global sense." Starring Emjay Anthony, Chiara Aurelia. Universal, $39.98, 4/22/2025.

THE INFORMANT! [4K UHD] (2009): "Steven Soderbergh’s The Informant! often feels more like a Coen brothers product, but don’t interpret that as a slam on Soderbergh. It actually offers one of the director’s more engaging films, as he drops his often-present pretensions to deliver a fun romp." Starring Matt Damon, Scott Bakula. Warner, $27.99, 4/15/2025.

FLESH + BLOOD [BLU-RAY] (1985): "As Paul Verhoeven’s last flick prior to his big Hollywood hit Robocop, Flesh + Blood provides an interesting enterprise. As a cynical riff on the Robin Hood-style tale, it proves dark and cheeky at the same time." Starring Rutger Hauer, Jennifer Jason Leigh. Capelight, $34.98, 2/11/2025.

THE MANDALORIAN: THE COMPLETE SECOND SEASON [4K UHD] (2020): "After a satisfying first year, Season Two of The Mandalorian fares even better. With more action and a lot of intrigue, S2 works nicely." Starring Pedro Pascal, Giancarlo Esposito. Disney, $39.99, 12/12/2023.

TRICK OR TREAT [4K UHD] (1986): "By the standards of 1980s horror, Trick or Treat seems decent, but it never rises above that level. While it comes with some interesting moments, it doesn’t connect in a consistent manner." Starring Marc Price, Tony Fields. Synapse, $44.95, 3/11/2025.

BODY OF LIES (2025 "TRIPLE FEATURE" REISSUE) [BLU-RAY] (2008): "For a thriller ripped from its era’s headlines, shouldn’t Body of Lies provide a dynamic flick? Yeah, it should, but it doesn’t, as it remains moderately interesting at best and fairly dull at worst." Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Russell Crowe. Warner, $29.99, 3/18/2025.
