MICHAEL [BLU-RAY] (2026): "As a look at the life and career of Michael Jackson, Michael proves moderately entertaining but awfully superficial. It fabricates too many of the facts and becomes sporadically enjoyable but flawed." Starring Jaafar Jackson, Colman Domingo. Lionsgate, $39.99, 7/14/2026.

RED SUN: COLLECTOR'S EDITION [4K UHD] (1971): "While nothing remarkable, Red Sun provides a largely entertaining mix of the ‘mismatched partners’ and ‘Spaghetti Western’ genres. Despite ups and downs, it keeps us with it and ensures we enjoy it." Starring Charles Bronson, Toshiro Mifune. Arrow, $49.95, 7/14/2026.

THE 7TH VOYAGE OF SINBAD [4K UHD] (1958): "While I really respect the pioneering visual effects creations of Ray Harryhausen, many of the flicks on which he worked weren’t good. Packed with poor acting, bad dialogue and a host of other problems, The 7th Voyage of Sinbad boasts some cool visuals but otherwise stinks." Starring Kerwin Mathews, Kathryn Grant. Sony, $34.98, 7/21/2026.

DEAD MAN'S WIRE [BLU-RAY] (2026): "A kidnapping-based thriller, Dead Man’s Wire reinvents no wheels. I don’t mind, as Gus Van Sant makes it a bright and peppy take on the genre." Starring Bill Skarsgård, Dacre Montgomery. Alliance, $19.98, 7/7/2026.

SOYLENT GREEN: COLLECTOR'S EDITION [BLU-RAY] (1973): "More than 50 years after its original release, Soylent Green has become known better as a punchline than as a movie. The flick itself relies a little too heavily on its famous ending for power and doesn’t seem great on its own, though it has some very good moments." Starring Charlton Heston, Edward G. Robinson. Arrow, $39.95, 7/28/2026.

NIGHT AND DAY [BLU-RAY] (1946): "A loose biography of famous composer Cole Porter, Night and Day never finds a groove. It brings a slow and dull mix of music, drama and romance." Starring Cary Grant, Alexis Smith. Warner, $21.99, 6/30/2026.
