IF I HAD LEGS I'D KICK YOU [BLU-RAY] (2025): "As a character study, If I Had Legs I’d Kick You works mainly thanks to a strong lead performance from Rose Byrne. However, too much of the rest of the movie suffers from ups and downs for it to succeed as a whole." Starring Rose Byrne, Conan O'Brien. A24, $30.00, 5/26/2026.

IT'S A WISE CHILD [BLU-RAY] (1931): "An early talkie adapted from a stage production, It’s a Wise Child provides a loose narrative without a lot of charm. Though the film throws out a few laughs and never quite bores, it also just doesn’t function as a terribly engaging comedy." Starring Marion Davies, Sidney Blackmer. Warner, $21.99, 5/26/2026.

RUMBLE IN THE BRONX: COLLECTOR'S EDITION [4K UHD] (1995): "Rumble in the Bronx helped make Jackie Chan a star in the US, but it doesn’t hold up especially well more than three decades later. It lacks the zing necessary to become anything more than only sporadically watchable." Starring Jackie Chan, Anita Mui. Arrow, $219.95, 6/30/2026.

THE 5-MAN ARMY [BLU-RAY] (1969): "At its core, The 5-Man Army offers the bones of a lively heist flick. As executed, though, it seems meandering and dull." Starring Peter Graves, James Daly. Warner, $21.99, 5/26/2026.

THE MASTERMIND [BLU-RAY] (2025): "Essentially a deconstruction of the heist movie, The Mastermind revels in the mundane and avoids many overt thrills. This makes it a slow-moving but nonetheless largely engrossing riff on the genre." Starring Josh O'Connor, Alana Haim. Mubi, $24.99, 6/30/2026.

AFRICA SCREAMS [BLU-RAY] (1949): "Little more than a showcase for Abbott and Costello, Africa Screams comes across as the collection of comedy skits it is. Abbott and Costello elevate the material, though, and make this a largely winning program." Starring Bud Abbott, Lou Costello. Shoreline, $20.99, 5/19/2026.
