A LITTLE PRAYER [BLU-RAY] (2025): "Despite an inherently melodramatic tale at its core, A Little Prayer remains understated. This means it can feel a little too chilly at times but buoyed by strong performances, it ends up as a fairly involving journey." Starring David Strathairn, Jane Levy. Music Box, $34.95, 1/27/2026.

HANKY PANKY [BLU-RAY] (1982): "Although I appreciate that Hanky Panky introduced Gene Wilder and Gilda Radner to each other and thus set their romance into motion, the movie itself feels flat. It wastes their talents and never becomes as funny or thrilling as it hopes to be." Starring Gene Wilder, Gilda Radner. Alliance, $27.99, 2/10/2026.

DILLINGER [BLU-RAY] (1973): "Although it boasts a solid cast and a well-known writer/director, Dillinger becomes less than the sum of its parts. It offers a few mildly exciting action scenes but suffers from weak character and plot development, inane dialogue and over-emotive performances." Starring Warren Oates, Ben Johnson. MGM, $22.98, 2/10/2026.

FIFTY SHADES OF GREY [4K UHD] (2015): "Going into Fifty Shades of Grey, viewers expected a mildly kinky sex-based romance. Instead, they found a slow, dull snoozer with nothing erotic or interesting on display." Starring Dakota Johnson, Jamie Dornan. Universal, $19.98, 5/9/2017.

ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN [4K UHD] (1976): "Understated but still dynamic, All the President’s Men holds up well after five decades. The movie benefits from its subtle tone and focuses on the story instead of melodrama or silliness." Starring Dustin Hoffman, Robert Redford. Warner, $29.98, 2/17/2026.

BY THE LIGHT OF THE SILVERY MOON [BLU-RAY] (1953): "Thanks to a charming turn from the always likable Doris Day and a good supporting cast, By the Light of the Silvery Moon maintains mild entertainment value. However, it seems so light and loose that it barely sticks to the celluloid." Starring Doris Day, Gordon MacRae. Warner, $21.99, 1/27/2026.
