AWAKENINGS [4K UHD] (1990): "Aspects of Awakenings work well, as it delivers a good cast and supports an intriguing story. However, it lacks focus too often in its second half." Starring Robert De Niro, Robin Williams. Sony, $30.99, 12/9/2025.

THE BRAIN HUNTER [BLU-RAY] (2013): "Even by the standards of a low-budget indie flick, The Brain Hunter flops badly. Poorly made and utterly incoherent, this becomes a laughably awful film." Starring Boriqua Barbee, Ira Berkowitz. Bayview, $29.95, 12/23/2025.

UNDER SIEGE: COLLECTOR'S EDITION [BLU-RAY] (1992): "With Under Siege, we get arguably the best film of Steven Seagal’s career. Granted, that exists as the definition of ‘faint praise’, but the movie nonetheless becomes a pretty solid Die Hard wannabe despite the weaknesses of its lead actor." Starring Steven Seagal, Tommy Lee Jones. Arrow, $39.95, 1/6/2026.

ANEMONE [4K UHD] (2025): "After eight years, Daniel Day-Lewis comes back to film. Though he and his co-stars do fine, the slow-paced and tedious Anemone makes this a less than triumphant return." Starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Sean Bean. Universal, $31.98, 11/25/2025.

MINORITY REPORT [4K UHD] (2002): "As a movie, Minority Report shows some weaknesses but it seems generally intriguing and involving. It provides a compelling and lively piece of work that marks something different from Steven Spielberg." Starring Tom Cruise, Colin Farrell. Paramount, $30.99, 12/9/2025.

WES CRAVEN'S NEW NIGHTMARE [4K UHD] (1994): "Back in 1994, Wes Craven's New Nightmare marked the revivification of a sputtering franchise. The movie provided a breath of fresh air for the series and became a nicely spooky outing." Starring Robert Englund, Heather Langenkamp. Warner, $104.98, 9/30/2025.
