HIM [BLU-RAY] (2025): "Despite some impactful visuals and a potentially appealing willingness to give moviegoers something unusual, Him focuses far too much on style over coherence. It becomes less interesting as it goes and winds up as a mess by its conclusion." Starring Tyriq Withers, Marlon Wayans. Universal, $27.98, 11/11/2025.

PEARL: THE X TRILOGY [BLU-RAY] (2022): "As a cinematic experiment, Pearl offers some intrigue, and the movie occasionally connects. However, it can feel more like a gimmick flick than one that comes with a natural need to exist." Starring Mia Goth, David Corenswet. A24, $85.00, 10/21/2025.

THE HOUSE WITH LAUGHING WINDOWS: COLLECTOR'S EDITION [4K UHD] (1976): "An unusually restrained giallo effort, The House With Laughing Windows succeeds largely due to its more subdued nature. The movie evolves at a gradual rate that makes it all the more disturbing as its goes." Starring Lino Capolicchio, Francesca Marciano. Arrow, $49.95, 12/2/2025.

IT'S CHRISTMASTIME AGAIN, CHARLIE BROWN [BLU-RAY] (1992): "No one seems likely to prefer it to its classic 1965 predecessor, but 1992’s It’s Christmastime Again, Charlie Brown provides a perfectly credible sequel. It comes with enough wit and charm to make it worth a watch." Starring Jamie E. Smith, John Christian Graas. Warner, $79.99, 10/7/2025.

THE BREAKFAST CLUB: CRITERION COLLECTION [4K UHD] (1985): "While The Breakfast Club lacks the relevance it boasted for me when it hit in 1985, it still has its moments. I could live without all the melodrama, but there’s enough good material here to make it interesting." Starring Molly Ringwald, Judd Nelson. Criterion, $49.95, 11/4/2025.

DEF LEPPARD: DIAMOND STAR HEROES LIVE IN SHEFFIELD [4K UHD] (2023): "In their hometown and comfortable in a massive venue, Diamond Star Heroes Live From Sheffield gives us a pretty solid stadium concert from Def Leppard. We hear most of the band’s hits and the show gives us a good look at what made them so popular." Starring Def Leppard. Mercury, $34.98, 11/21/2025.
