With another Oscars in the books, here comes a reminder that we boast a page that includes reviews of each Best Picture winner from Wings through One Battle After Another. Give it a look!

RESIDENT ALIEN: SEASON ONE [BLU-RAY] (2021): "A quirky look at the ‘extraterrestrial on Earth’ genre, Resident Alien provides a quality first season. We get a lively mix of comedy, action and drama in this engaging collection of shows." Starring Alan Tudyk, Sara Tomko. Universal, $19.99, 9/21/2021.

ROCK 'N' ROLL HIGH SCHOOL: 45TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION [BLU-RAY] (1979): "I can’t say that I dig Rock ‘n’ Roll High School as much in 2026 as I did in 1985, but I think the flick still offers a kick. It doesn’t take itself seriously and it provides a good laugh." Starring PJ Soles, Vincent Van Patten. Shout, $39.98, 12/10/2024.

THE BEATLES: EVOLVER 62 [BLU-RAY] (2025): "As a look at the Beatles during a crucial year in their history, Evolver 62 becomes an efficient overview. Expert Mark Lewisohn covers the details in a fast-paced and engaging manner." Starring Mark Lewisohn. Liverpool West, $29.99, 2/10/2026.

BLOWN AWAY [4K UHD] (1994): "With a quality cast and a decent premise, Blown Away feels like it should deliver a solid thriller. Instead, it comes as an awkward combination of a sluggish plot and borderline campy drama." Starring Jeff Bridges, Tommy Lee Jones. Kino Lorber, $29.99, 7/2/2024.

THE HOUSEMAID [BLU-RAY] (2025): "Released around Christmas, The Housemaid became a ‘counter-programming’ hit, as no one thinks of the holidays as a logical occasion for sex-related thrillers. Though it runs a little long, the movie still becomes a fairly involving little narrative, with plenty of twists along the way." Starring Sydney Sweeney, Amanda Seyfried. Lionsgate, $29.99, 3/17/2026.

OUT OF AFRICA [4K UHD] (1985): "While I can't whole-heartedly recommend Out Of Africa, I can't really steer you away from it either. No, the film doesn't do a lot for me, but I can understand why a lot of others like it and why it became so successful." Starring Meryl Streep, Robert Redford. Universal, $19.98, 11/18/2025.
