MORTAL KOMBAT II [4K UHD] (2026): "With Karl Urban in tow, I hoped Mortal Kombat II would fare better than its mediocre predecessor. Instead, the sequel becomes even less interesting." Starring Karl Urban, Jessica McNamee. Warner, $32.98, 7/28/2026.

NIGHT OF THE COMET: COLLECTOR'S EDITION [BLU-RAY] (1984): "Over the last few decades, Night of the Comet developed a good cult following, but I can’t figure out why. Dull and amateurish, the movie comes with few positives and leaves me entirely cold." Starring Catherine Mary Stewart, Kelli Maroney. Shout, $29.93, 11/19/2013.

HOKUM [BLU-RAY] (2026): "Although parts of Hokum connect, too much of the movie seems a bit meandering. While it never loses the viewer, it fails to live up to its potential." Starring Adam Scott, Peter Coonan. Neon, $42.98, 8/11/2026.

FLIGHT TO MARS (2026 REMASTER) [BLU-RAY] (1951): "Flight to Mars might boast some value as a throwback to 1950s sci-fi, the film itself bores. Even at a mere 72 minutes, the movie moves slowly and becomes a chore to watch." Starring Cameron Mitchell, Marguerite Chapman. Film Masters, $34.95, 7/14/2026.

LAST SUMMER [BLU-RAY] (1969): "Groundbreaking in 1969, Last Summer seems tedious in 2026. The movie offers a less sanitized version of teen life than usual back then but it fails to develop intriguing characters or compelling events." Starring Barbara Hershey, Richard Thomas. Warner, $21.99, 7/14/2026.

LILLY TURNER [BLU-RAY] (1933): "A melodrama that reflects its era, Lilly Turner can veer silly at times. Nonetheless, a good lead performance from Ruth Chatterton and a brisk pace help ensure the audience stays with it." Starring Ruth Chatterton, George Brent. Warner, $21.99, 7/28/2026.
