Note that the new system disabled the old "vote" function. Bad actors used that script to muck around with the site so we needed to end it. This means error messages at the bottom of reviews where the vote used to be. This isn't a "glitch", per se, so no need to report it.

BANDITS [BLU-RAY] (2001): "A madcap romantic comedy disguised as a heist flick, Bandits never quite turns into anything special. Still, it enjoys a great cast and boasts enough wit and vivacity to make it an enjoyable little romp." Starring Bruce Willis, Billy Bob Thornton. MGM, $22.98, 2/18/2025.

FRIDAY THE 13TH PART VIII: JASON TAKES MANHATTAN - FRIDAY THE 13TH COLLECTION [BLU-RAY] (1989): "Would I call Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan a good movie? No, but it stands as one of the better flicks in the series, especially compared with the two total duds that preceded it. Moderately clever and inventive, it presents one of the more entertaining Friday films." Starring Kane Hodder, Tiffany Paulsen. Shout, $159.98, 10/13/2020.

DOG MAN [BLU-RAY] (2025): "Because it throws a lot at the screen, Dog Man manages to create moderate entertainment. However, it lacks the clever spark of better animated flicks so it ends up as a minor disappointment." Starring Pete Davison, Lil Rel Howery. Universal, $27.98, 4/1/2025.

EARTH II [BLU-RAY] (1971): "A very ‘early 1970s’ stab at science-fiction, Earth II comes with some potential. Unfortunately, the end product seems slow and without real punch." Starring Gary Lockwood, Scott Hylands. Warner, $21.99, 3/25/2025.

COMPANION [4K UHD] (2025): "With a lot of delightful twists and a stellar lead performance from Sophie Thatcher, Companion turns into a vivid experience. It gives its own spin on a particular form of horror/thriller and keeps the viewer involved the whole way." Starring Sophie Thatcher, Jack Quaid. Warner, $27.98, 4/1/2025.

THE WAGES OF FEAR: CRITERION COLLECTION [4K UHD] (1953): "Long regarded as a suspense classic, The Wages of Fear continues to hold up after more than 70 years. The film paints a dark and unrelenting picture of men on the edge." Starring Yves Montand, Charles Vanel. Criterion, $49.95, 3/4/25.
