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.

LENNY: CRITERION COLLECTION [4K UHD] (1974): "Not every famous figure lived a life that creates a compelling cinematic journey, and that becomes the case with Lenny. It fails to make controversial comedian Lenny Bruce an interesting subject so the film feels slow and dull too much of the time." Starring Dustin Hoffman, Valerie Perrine. Criterion, $49.95, 5/26/2026.

KING RICHARD AND THE CRUSADERS [BLU-RAY] (1954): "As an attempt to depict its title matter, King Richard and the Crusaders becomes a campy mess. The story rambles and suffers from problems at every turn." Starring Rex Harrison, George Sanders. Warner, $21.99, 4/28/26.
