MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - THE FINAL RECKONING [BLU-RAY] (2025): "It remains to be seen if the Mission: Impossible franchise will continue past 2025, but if it ends with The Final Reckoning, then it concludes on a spotty note. Essentially the second half of one exceedingly long movie, it uses far more space than it needs and drags too much to become a winning action thriller." Starring Tom Cruise, Hayley Atwell. Paramount, $35.99, 10/14/2025.

PETER GABRIEL: TAKING THE PULSE [BLU-RAY] (2010): "Musically, Taking the Pulse comes with well-performed orchestral renderings of many Peter Gabriel songs, but I can’t claim any of them work better than their more rock-centered predecessors. The directorial choices involved also make this a less than involving concert presentation visually." Starring Peter Gabriel. Mercury, $21.98, 10/10/2025.

THE LAST OF US: THE COMPLETE SECOND SEASON (STEELBOOK) [4K UHD] (2025): "Season One of The Last Of Us fared well and Season Two continues that high level of quality. The series mixes action and character depth in a satisfying manner." Starring Pedro Pascal, Bella Ramsey. Warner, $44.98, 9/23/2025.

LABYRINTH [4K UHD] (1986): "Labyrinth will never be one of my favorite films, and if it didn’t star my all-time favorite performer, I’d probably never bother with it. Still, it has enough going for it that kids should enjoy it." Starring David Bowie, Jennifer Connelly. Sony, $30.99, 9/20/2016.

SPAWN: COLLECTOR'S EDITION [4K UHD] (1997): "As an attempt to launch a new comic book franchise, Spawn didn’t find much of an audience in 1997, and for good reason: it delivers a pretty lousy movie. Scattered, meandering and ineffective, not much about Spawn works." Starring Michael Jai White, John Leguizamo. Arrow, $49.95, 10/7/2025.

ROCKET ATTACK USA [BLU-RAY] (1960): "Even if one enters Rocket Attack USA with minimal expectations, one will still find a borderline unwatchable film. It doesn’t even bring campy fun, as it becomes a dull and amateurish experience." Starring John McKay, Monica Davis. Film Detective, $35.99, 8/26/2025.
