ROBIN HOOD: PRINCE OF THIEVES - COLLECTOR'S EDITION [4K UHD] (1991): "A fairly bland example of a summer movie, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves seems too awkward and forced to succeed. Thieves simply feels like a self-conscious attempt to borrow highlights from other movies without any ingenuity or spark of its own." Starring Kevin Costner, Alan Rickman. Arrow, $59.95, 5/26/2026.

INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS: COLLECTOR'S EDITION [BLU-RAY] (1978): "Film fans can argue whether 1978’s Invasion of the Body Snatchers fares better or worse than its 1956 precursor. All I know is that the remake stands on its own as a creepy, chilling horror story." Starring Donald Sutherland, Brooke Adams. Kino Lorber, $29.99, 2/1/2022.

CAPTAINS COURAGEOUS [BLU-RAY] (1937): "Despite a miscast Spencer Tracy, Captains Courageous provides a pretty good coming of age narrative. Young Freddie Bartholomew makes the journey vivid and compelling." Starring Freddie Bartholomew, Spencer Tracy. Warner, $21.99, 4/28/2026.

ARROWSMITH [BLU-RAY] (1931): "As an adaptation of an acclaimed novel, Arrowsmith becomes a spotty endeavor. The movie seems both too rushed and too sluggish, factors that make it a clunky end product." Starring Ronald Colman, Helen Hayes. Warner, $21.99, 4/28/2026.

TASK: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON [BLU-RAY] (2025): "Though nominally a cop drama, Season One of Task mainly emphasizes character elements. Unfortunately, it does so in a persistently tedious manner that makes it a slow and dull experience." Starring Mark Ruffalo, Tom Pelphrey. HBO, $29.98, 4/21/2026.

THE TAKING OF PELHAM ONE TWO THREE [4K UHD] (1974): "A bright thriller, The Taking of Pelham One Two Three holds up after more than 50 years. With a tight plot, a good cast and a tone that reflects the NYC of its era in the best way, it becomes a winner." Starring Walter Matthau, Robert Shaw. Kino Lorber, $39.95, 12/10/2024.
