MOLLY'S GAME [BLU-RAY] (2017): "Though it starts well, Molly’s Game loses steam as it goes. The movie maintains decent entertainment value much of the time, but it peters out somewhat before the credits roll." Starring Jessica Chastain, Idris Elba. Universal, $34.98, 4/10/2018.

MONSTER HOUSE [BLU-RAY] (2005): "Although I have some misgivings about the movie’s style of animation, Monster House entertains enough to make up for those concerns. A good mix of action, comedy and horror, the film presents something different and fun." Starring Mitchel Musso, Sam Lerner. Sony, $14.99, 10/24/2006.

KILLER KLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE [BLU-RAY] (1988): "Despite some good effects and a few clever elements, Killer Klowns from Outer Space doesn’t hang together as a movie. It lacks consistency and only sporadically entertains." Starring Grant Cramer, Suzanne Snyder. Arrow, $39.95, 4/24/2018.

A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN [BLU-RAY] (1992): "How can you resist a movie in which a ballplayer signs his autograph, 'Avoid the clap - Jimmy Dugan'? I can’t, and A League of Their Own presents a terrific film that works for a wide variety of audiences." Starring Tom Hanks, Geena Davis. Sony, $19.98, 10/16/2012.

DEN OF THIEVES [BLU-RAY] (2018): "If you hope Den of Thieves will bring anything fresh to the crime thriller genre, you’ll encounter disappointment. The movie aspires to a depth and meaning it can’t achieve." Starring Gerard Butler, Pablo Schreiber. Universal, $34.98, 4/24/2018.

THE FIRM [BLU-RAY] (1993): "The Firm offers a generally enjoyable but fairly unexceptional little thriller. It boasts a terrific cast but doesn't do much with most of them, and the movie just coasts along until it reaches its respectably exciting conclusion." Starring Tom Cruise, Gene Hackman. Paramount, $9.98, 5/29/2011.
