GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS [4K UHD] (2019): "Every once in a while, Godzilla: King of the Monsters rouses to life, but most of it seems sluggish and without real excitement. Compared to the Blu-ray, the 4K UHD offers a decent visual step up in quality." Starring Vera Farmiga, Kyle Chandler. Warner, $44.95, 8/27/2019.

HOW TO MARRY A MILLIONAIRE [BLU-RAY] (1953): "As a whole, How to Marry A Millionaire offers a fluffy but fairly engaging experience. The film’s charming cast helps hold it together through some goofy scenarios, and it provides enough wit and earnest fun to merit a viewing, especially if one likes its stars." Starring Lauren Bacall, Marilyn Monroe. Fox, $19.99, 7/31/2012.

ROCKETMAN [4K UHD] (2019): "As a virtually lifelong fan of Elton John’s music, I wanted to enjoy Rocketman, but it makes so many severe missteps that it becomes a chore to watch. The 4K UHD offers visuals that become a moderate upgrade over the Blu-ray." Starring Taron Egerton, Jamie Bell. Paramount, $34.99, 8/27/2019.

TOLKIEN [BLU-RAY] (2019): "As a depiction of the famous author’s life, Tolkien seems surprisingly dull. While we get a few insights related to his legendary creations, most of the movie feels sluggish and bland." Starring Nicholas Hoult, Lily Collins. Fox, $34.99, 8/6/2019.

THE FLASH: THE COMPLETE FIFTH SEASON [BLU-RAY] (2019): "After a disappointing fourth year, Season Five of The Flash rebounds. Despite the presence of an annoying new character, S5 largely succeeds." Starring Grant Gustin, Candice Patton. Warner, $44.98, 8/27/2019.

FROM THE EARTH TO THE MOON [BLU-RAY] (1998): "As a look at the American space program, From the Earth to the Moon proves to be entertaining but erratic. While I mostly enjoyed the series, it could’ve been more consistent." Starring Tom Hanks, Bryan Cranston. HBO, $27.99, 7/16/2019.
