MORTAL KOMBAY ANNIHILATION: COLLECTOR'S EDITION [4K UHD] (1997): "Because Mortal Kombat offered a dud, its sibling flick Annihilation couldn’t fall very far. Despite a few good fight scenes, Annihilation turns into an awful film." Starring Robin Shou, Talisa Soto. Arrow, $64.95, 6/30/2026.

INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS: COLLECTOR'S EDITION [4K UHD] (1978): "Film fans can argue whether 1978’s Invasion of the Body Snatchers fares better or worse than its 1956 precursor. All I know is that the remake stands on its own as a creepy, chilling horror story." Starring Donald Sutherland, Brooke Adams. Kino Lorber, $19.99, 11/23/2021.

CRIME 101 [4K UHD] (2026): "Parts of Crime 101 work well and I liked it a lot when I first viewed it. However, a second screening revealed more problems than I discerned theatrically, and these make me now see it as a watchable but flawed thriller." Starring Chris Hemsworth, Halle Berry. MGM, $34.99, 6/30/2026.

THE DARK BACKWARD [BLU-RAY] (1991): "When Wayne Newton delivers the best performance in a movie, I know I’m in trouble. The Dark Backward tries hard to seem inventively warped and weird but it just becomes stupid and offensive." Starring Judd Nelson, Bill Paxton. Sony, $30.99, 5/19/2026.

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.
