ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER [4K UHD] (2025): "Though it can bite off a bit more than it can chew, One Battle After Another nonetheless manages to keep us invested across its extended running time. With good performances and a propulsive plot, it manages to compensate for its inconsistencies." Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn. Warner, $34.98, 1/20/2026.

THE RUNNING MAN [BLU-RAY] (1987): "Though blessed with a good concept, The Running Man suffers from pedestrian execution. What should turn into a compelling mix of satire and action just winds up as another lunkheaded 1980s kill-fest." Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Maria Conchita Alonso. Paramount, $19.99, 3/7/2023.

MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS: 50TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION [BLU-RAY] (1974): "A classic murder mystery told in a fine manner, Murder on the Orient Express provides a satisfying experience. The movie moves briskly and uses its all-star cast well to create an engaging and entertaining throwback." Starring Albert Finney, Martin Balsam. Kino Lorber, $39.95, 9/24/2024.

LADDER 49 (2026 REMASTER) [BLU-RAY] (2004): "All bland sentiment and no real drama, Ladder 49 comes across as a movie made by a committee. The flick plods through the usual predictable highs and lows but never creates a sense of believability or life." Starring Joaquin Phoenix, John Travolta. Sony, $26.99, 1/13/2026.

CAPTAIN BLOOD: CRITERION COLLECTION [4K UHD] (1935): "Captain Blood shows its age and the movie never consistently fires on all cylinders. Nonetheless, it boasts a fine lead performance from Errol Flynn plus just enough action to make it entertaining." Starring Errol Flynn, Olivia de Havilland. Criterion, $49.95, 1/20/2026.

BLOWN AWAY [BLU-RAY] (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, $39.95, 7/2/2024.
