MARRY ME [4K UHD] (2022): "One can certainly find many rom-coms weaker than Marry Me, but that fails to act as an actual endorsement. The movie benefits from the charm of its leads but it runs too long and lacks the inspiration it needs to become better than mediocre." Starring Jennifer Lopez, Owen Wilson. Universal, $29.98, 1/27/2026.

MANPOWER [BLU-RAY] (1941): "Despite a lot of talent in front of and behind the camera, Manpower seems too muddled to succeed. It fails in its attempts to meld genres and a cast of actors too old for their roles doesn’t help." Starring Edward G. Robinson, Marlene Dietrich. Warner, $21.99, 1/27/2026.

EXCALIBUR: COLLECTOR'S EDITION [BLU-RAY] (1981): "While not a genuinely bad fantasy epic, Excalibur lacks consistent positives. It seems campy and over the top as well as abrupt and abbreviated, and that means it doesn’t have enough screentime to adequately explore its legends." Starring Nigel Terry, Helen Mirren. Arrow, $49.95, 2/24/2026.

BLUE MOON [BLU-RAY] (2025): "As a look at famous musical lyricist close to his tragic end, Blue Moon offers a compelling snapshot. Though the story digresses a little at times, it usually stays on target, and a stellar lead performance from Ethan Hawke helps enormously." Starring Ethan Hawke, Margaret Qualley. Sony, $29.99, 1/23/2026.

AMERICAN YAKUZA: COLLECTOR'S EDITION [BLU-RAY] (1993): "Despite a good cast that includes a pre-fame Viggo Mortensen in one of his earliest leads, American Yakuza ends up as a dud. The movie becomes a tedious compilation of cinematic tropes that feels like the straight-to-video product it is." Starring Viggo Mortensen, Ryô Ishibashi. Arrow, $39.95, 2/10/2026.

ANACONDA [BLU-RAY] (1997): "While I didn’t hate Anaconda as much in 2026 as I did in 1997, this still became a pretty terrible movie. Clunky, silly and essentially devoid of thrills, it fails in most possible ways." Starring Jennifer Lopez, Ice Cube. Mill Creek, $14.99, 5/14/2019.
