SEPTEMBER [BLU-RAY] (1987): "One of Woody Allen’s dreariest and worst films, September turned me off so much it made me dislike Dianne Wiest, something difficult to do. It delivers a laughably pretentious piece that features nothing creative or insightful." Starring Mia Farrow, Dianne Wiest. MGM, $22.99, 9/24/2024.

GOING IN STYLE [BLU-RAY] (2017): "Thanks to the presence of an overqualified cast, Going in Style keeps us with it. However, it never becomes anything especially clever or insightful, as it mines predictable comedic territory." Starring Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Alan Arkin. Warner, $14.99, 8/1/2017.

A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S SEX COMEDY [BLU-RAY] (1982): "I went into A Midsummer Night’s Sex Comedy with low expectations, but I find the movie to offer a surprisingly warm and witty affair. It doesn’t stand as one of Woody Allen’s best works, but provided an entertaining and enjoyable experience as a whole." Starring Woody Allen, Mia Farrow. MGM, $22.99, 9/24/2024.

THE GOOD DINOSAUR [4K UHD] (2015): "After the excellent Inside Out earlier in 2015, Pixar faltered with The Good Dinosaur. Bland and forgettable, it offers one of the studio’s weaker efforts." Starring Jeffrey Wright, Frances McDormand. Disney, $39.99, 9/10/2019.

FOUNDERS DAY [BLU-RAY] (2024): "If you seek a fresh and original slasher flick, look somewhere other than Founders Day. It borrows heavily from Scream and its siblings but fails to create a lively horror experience." Starring Naomi Grace, Devin Druid. Dark Sky, $29.98, 6/4/2024.

THE DARK CRYSTAL [4K UHD] (1982): "At no point does The Dark Crystal threaten to become a great movie. I appreciate all the work that went into its creation, but the lush setting doesn’t come with a compelling story and that dooms the film to mediocrity." Starring Jim Henson, Kathryn Mullen. Sony, $30.99, 3/6/2018.
