BLUE THUNDER: THE COMPLETE SERIES [BLU-RAY] (1984): "An extension of a moderately successful movie, the TV version of Blue Thunder could be worse, but it could be better. For better 1980s or for worse, it comes across as a pretty typical crime-fighting adventure series." Starring James Farentino, Dana Carvey. Sony, $55.99, 5/5/2026.

OMEN IV: THE AWAKENING [BLU-RAY] (1991): "An attempt to revive the franchise after a dormant decade, Omen IV: The Awakening comes with nearly no redeeming qualities. Poorly made in almost all possible ways, it becomes the nadir of the series." Starring Faye Grant, Michael Woods. Shout, $64.99, 10/22/2019.

NICKELODEON [BLU-RAY] (1976): "Another attempt by Peter Bogdanovich to recapture the cinematic styles of earlier generations, Nickelodeon comes with sporadic pleasures. However, it feels more like a filmmaker’s indulgent fantasy than a fully-realized movie." Starring Ryan O'Neal, Burt Reynolds. Sony, $30.99, 5/19/2026.

NAKED AMBITION [BLU-RAY] (2023): "Though Bunny Yeager led a remarkable life and career, Naked Ambition fails to dig into these elements well. Too much of the documentary simply praises Yeager and fails to give us insight." Starring Bunny Yeager, Hugh Hefner. Music Box, $34.95, 1/13/2026.

DUST BUNNY [4K UHD] (2025): "Essentially a mix of childhood fable and violent action flick, Dust Bunny gets credit for its ambition. Unfortunately, it doesn’t connect on a consistent basis and becomes an up and down cinematic experience." Starring Mads Mikkelsen, Sophie Sloan. Lionsgate, $29.99, 4/28/2026.

SPEED RACER [4K UHD] (2008): "With its trippy visuals, Speed Racer looks unlike anything else from the summer 2008 crop of potential blockbusters but it never succeeds as more than eye candy. The movie lacks much real drama or excitement so it throws visual splendor at us but fails to back up the images with anything else." Starring Emile Hirsch, Christina Ricci. Warner, $29.98, 5/19/2026.
