DEATH OF A UNICORN [BLU-RAY] (2025): "Filmmaker Alex Scharfman attempts to juggle a lot of balls with Death of a Unicorn but he can’t consistently keep all in the air. Too often a collection of cinematic influences, the movie brings some entertainment value and boasts a great cast but it feels too derivative to really click." Starring Paul Rudd, Jenna Ortega. A24, $29.98, 7/1/2025.

FALLOUT: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON (STEELBOOK) [4K UHD] (2024): "Partly because it can feel like eight episodes of exposition and backstory, I think Season One of Fallout lacks great forward momentum. Nonetheless, the series sets up an intriguing view of a post-apocalyptic world and remains entertaining even with the flaws." Starring Ella Purnell, Aaron Moten. Warner, $49.98, 7/8/2025.

NIGHTWATCH: COLLECTOR'S EDITION [BLU-RAY] (1994): "Despite its heavy Hitchcock influence, Nightwatch manages to stand on its own two feet. Although the movie delivers a mix of genre tropes, it does so in a skillful and unnerving manner that allow it to turn into a taut little thriller." Starring Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Sofie Gråbøl. Arrow, $39.95, 7/22/2025.

LAW ABIDING CITIZEN (STEELBOOK) [4K UHD] (2009): "A thriller with a nearly omnipotent antagonist, Law Abiding Citizen squanders most of its potential positives. Despite some intriguing concepts, the final product seems silly and meat-headed." Starring Jamie Foxx, Gerard Butler. Lionsgate, $34.98, 5/20/2025.

BARRY LYNDON: CRITERION COLLECTION [4K UHD] (1975): "While Barry Lyndon didn't become Stanley Kubrick’s best film, it certainly stands closer to the top than to the bottom. Actually, I regard it as the last almost-great movie he made." Starring Ryan O'Neal, Marisa Berenson. Criterion, $49.95, 7/8/2025.

BATMAN NINJA [4K UHD] (2018): "The Dark Knight meets anime via the wild Batman Ninja. Goofy but still dramatic and exciting, the movie works much better than I expected." Starring Kôichi Yamadera, Wataru Takagi. Warner, $24.99, 7/8/2025.
