November is in full swing so get ready for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's! Check out our Holiday Page for viewing suggestions!

Release footnote: previously only available directly from A24, the surprise 2026 hit Backrooms is due out via all retailers come November 17. The actual package is identical to the one A24 released so I didn't add a new review but I updated links and wanted to mention its broader availability.

THE DIRTY DOZEN: COLLECTOR'S EDITION [BLU-RAY] (1967): "Gritty and exciting, The Dirty Dozen provides an enduring action movie. Though the film rambles at times, it mostly sticks with a lively tale that works well after nearly 60 years." Starring Lee Marvin, Ernest Borgnine. Arrow, $39.95, 11/17/2026.

MUTINY [4K UHD] (2026): "Yet another unimaginative action flick from Jason Statham, Mutiny does nothing to enliven its genre. Tedious and predictable, the film sputters." Starring Jason Statham, Annabelle Wallis. Lionsgate, $42.99, 11/3/2026.

HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES [4K UHD] (2003): "Via House of 1000 Corpses, Rob Zombie launched his career as a feature film director with a thud. Little more than a random mix of 70s horror throwbacks and campy oddness, the movie becomes tedious and obnoxious." Starring Karen Black, Bill Moseley. Lionsgate, $79.99, 10/13/2026.

HANSEL & GRETEL: WITCH HUNTERS [BLU-RAY 3D] (2013): "Does the concept behind Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters sound intriguing? Yup. Does the end result entertain? Nope, as despite massive amounts of action and gore, the film falls curiously flat. The Blu-ray offers decent visuals along with excellent audio and a few useful featurettes. I wanted to like the film but it left me cold." Starring Jeremy Renner, Gemma Arterton. Paramount, $19.99, 6/11/2013.

SHREK: 25TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION [4K UHD] (2001): "After multiple viewings of Shrek, I still can’t understand the fuss the film received. While it has some reasonably fun moments, I feel it seems lackluster." Starring Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz. Dreamworks, $29.98, 11/3/2026.

THE CAT IN THE HAT [BLU-RAY] (2003): "An attempt to capitalize on the popularity of 2000’s live-action Grinch film, 2003’s Cat in the Hat becomes another weak adaptation of a Dr. Seuss tale. Frenetic and clumsy, the movie never satisfies." Starring Mike Myers, Dakota Fanning. Universal, $14.98, 2/7/2012.
