FALLOUT: THE COMPLETE SECOND SEASON [4K UHD] (2025): "Like the show’s first year, Season Two of Fallout can feel more about exposition than forward-moving narrative. Still, it pushes matters ahead in a more satisfying manner, even if the finale offers some frustrations." Starring Ella Purnell, Aaron Moten. Warner, $43.99, 5/19/2026.

I CAN ONLY IMAGINE 2 [BLU-RAY] (2026): "Though based on a true story, I Can Only Imagine 2 feels utterly contrived and stilted. The characters never seem like real humans and the movie becomes much more concerned with ‘meaningful monologues’ than a compelling story or interesting roles." Starring John Michael Finley, Milo Ventimiglia. Lionsgate, $24.99, 5/5/2026.

CRACK-UP [BLU-RAY] (1946): "While I appreciate that Crack-Up provides an unusual setting for a noir tale, the end result seems spotty. Although the film occasionally pops to life, too much of it feels mediocre." Starring Pat O'Brien, Claire Trevor. Warner, $21.99, 4/28/2026.

MY NAME IS ALFRED HITCHCOCK [BLU-RAY] (2022): "As a study of cinematic methods, My Name Is Alfred Hitchcock offers sporadic insights. Unfortunately, these get buried among too many unnecessary tangents and a silly ‘first person’ POV that becomes a persistent annoyance." Starring Alfred Hitchcock, Alistair McGowan. Cohen, $29.95, 1/14/2025.

LENNY: CRITERION COLLECTION [BLU-RAY] (1974): "Not every famous figure lived a life that creates a compelling cinematic journey, and that becomes the case with Lenny. It fails to make controversial comedian Lenny Bruce an interesting subject so the film feels slow and dull too much of the time." Starring Dustin Hoffman, Valerie Perrine. Criterion, $39.95, 5/26/2026.

THE LAST ISLAND [BLU-RAY] (1990): "Essentially a piece of social commentary with a story built around it, the first act of The Last Island comes with intriguing elements. Unfortunately, it sputters after that, as it turns into too much of a cartoon to succeed." Starring Paul Freeman, Shelagh McLeod. Cult Epics, $34.95, 10/20/2023.
