FRIENDSHIP [BLU-RAY] (2025): "While it offers some amusing scenes, Friendship fails to mesh as a whole. Its tonal shifts don’t connect and Tim Robinson’s lead performance feels out of place." Starring Tim Robinson, Paul Rudd. A24, $29.99, 8/12/2025.

FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE [BLU-RAY] (1965): "As much as I liked A Fistful of Dollars, its sequel For a Few Dollars More improves on it in every possible way. The second chapter in the ‘Man With No Name’ trilogy offers a bolder, friskier and more engaging Western." Starring Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef. MGM, $16.99, 8/2/2011.

BRING HER BACK [4K UHD] (2025): "Despite some positives, Bring Her Back comes with too many predictable elements to really connect. While the movie provides some scares and creepy impact, the story just leaves the audience ahead of the characters too much of the time." Starring Billy Barratt, Sally Hawkins. A24, $35.00, 8/19/2025.

BRIGHT LEAF [BLU-RAY] (1950): "A mix of film noir and Southern potboiler, Bright Leaf proves satisfying through its first act or so. After that, however, it meanders and loses impact as it goes." Starring Gary Cooper, Lauren Bacall. Warner, $21.99, 7/29/25.

LOST IN SPACE: COLLECTOR'S EDITION [4K UHD] (1998): "No one can call Lost In Space a classic film, and I definitely understand those who loathe it. However, I think the movie offers a reasonably exciting and entertaining piece of work that may not hold up to much scrutiny but it still comes across as moderate fun." Starring William Hurt, Mimi Rogers. Arrow, $49.95, 9/2/2025.

HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON [BLU-RAY] (2025): "This live-action remake of How to Train Your Dragon clings close to the source but nonetheless improves on it in a moderate manner. The 2025 update comes with superior action and a bit more emotion." Starring Mason Thames, Gerard Butler. Universal, $29.98, 8/12/2025.
