BAYWATCH [BLU-RAY] (2017): "An attempt to update the kitschy TV series, Baywatch can’t decide if it wants laughs or thrills. As a result, it provides neither and becomes a dull, forgettable film." Starring Dwayne Johnson, Zac Efron. Paramount, $39.99, 8/29/2017.

CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS [BLU-RAY 3D] (2009): "To my delight, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs offers a smart, clever experience with many laughs along the way. Chalk up Cloudy as one of 2009’s most pleasant surprises, and the 3D version becomes the most fun way to watch it." Starring Bill Hader, Anna Faris. Sony, $26.99, 6/22/2010.

SUPERGIRL: THE COMPLETE SECOND SEASON [BLU-RAY] (2016-17): "After a successful opening year, Season Two of Supergirl continues the fun. It maintains a good sense of action and overall narrative intrigue to create an enjoyable collection of shows." Starring Melissa Benoist, Mehcad Brooks. Warner, $54.97, 8/22/2017.

ALIEN: COVENANT [BLU-RAY] (2017): "With a slew of enticing action sequences, Alien: Covenant tops the sluggish Prometheus. However, it lacks much creative energy of its own, so it becomes a derivative entry in the franchise." Starring Michael Fassbender, Katherine Waterston. Fox, $34.99, 8/15/2017.

CHANGE BEGINS WITHIN: A BENEFIT CONCERT FOR THE DAVID LYNCH FOUNDATION (2009): "As a concert presentation, Change Begins Within: A Benefit Concert for the David Lynch Foundation works pretty well – if you’re a Beatles lover, that is. Their music dominates the show and that’s fine with me, but it may disappoint fans of the other artists on the bill." Starring Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr. Eagle Rock, $15.98, 9/1/2007.

BOWFINGER [BLU-RAY] (1999): "We’ve seen plenty of Hollywood parodies over the years, but few amuse as well as Bowfinger. While it reinvents no wheels, it uses excellent performances from a terrific cast to turn into a consistently enjoyable flick." Starring Steve Martin, Eddie Murphy. Universal, $14.98, 8/8/2017.
