LAST SUMMER [BLU-RAY] (1969): "Groundbreaking in 1969, Last Summer seems tedious in 2026. The movie offers a less sanitized version of teen life than usual back then but it fails to develop intriguing characters or compelling events." Starring Barbara Hershey, Richard Thomas. Warner, $21.99, 7/14/2026.

LILLY TURNER [BLU-RAY] (1933): "A melodrama that reflects its era, Lilly Turner can veer silly at times. Nonetheless, a good lead performance from Ruth Chatterton and a brisk pace help ensure the audience stays with it." Starring Ruth Chatterton, George Brent. Warner, $21.99, 7/28/2026.

MICHAEL [4K UHD] (2026): "As a look at the life and career of Michael Jackson, Michael proves moderately entertaining but awfully superficial. It fabricates too many of the facts and becomes sporadically enjoyable but flawed." Starring Jaafar Jackson, Colman Domingo. Lionsgate, $42.99, 7/14/2026.

THE OUTFIT: COLLECTOR'S EDITION [BLU-RAY] (1973): "With Robert Duvall cast against type as a criminal bent on revenge, The Outfit benefits from a very good cast. As a whole package, the film doesn’t ever quite excel, but it still becomes a fairly involving thriller." Starring Robert Duvall, Karen Black. Arrow, $39.95, 7/28/2026.

THE PAPER: SEASON ONE [BLU-RAY] (2025): "As a spinoff from The Office, The Paper needs to fill big shoes. It can’t live up to those expectations but it still becomes a largely enjoyable sitcom." Starring Domhnall Gleeson, Sabrina Impacciatore. Universal, $29.98, 7/28/2026.

PRETTY MAIDS ALL IN A ROW [BLU-RAY] (1970): "A mix of violence, sex and comedy, Pretty Maids All in a Row comes with promise. Unfortunately, it can’t live up to its potential, as the end product seems muddled and witless." Starring Rock Hudson, Angie Dickinson. Warner, $21.99, 6/30/2026.
