DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER [4K UHD] (1971): "Diamonds Are Forever isn't top-notch Bond, but it's a decent effort that merits a viewing. Its lead’s apparent lack of interest makes it drag somewhat, though." Starring Sean Connery, Jill St. John. MGM, $104.98, 6/10/2025.

PRESENCE [BLU-RAY] (2025): "One wouldn’t expect Steven Soderbergh to make a traditional horror film, and Presence certainly veers from the usual scares. More a family drama with supernatural elements, it works best when viewed through that lens." Starring Lucy Liu, Chris Sullivan. Neon, $29.99, 5/20/2025.

YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE [4K UHD] (1967): "Because of my fondness for the Bond films of Sean Connery, You Only Live Twice is a movie I wish I liked more than I do. While it offers intermittent fun, it lacks the spark of the prior four releases and generally falls a little flat." Starring Sean Connery, Akiko Wakabayashi. MGM, $104.98, 6/10/2025.

THUNDERBALL [4K UHD] (1965): "While I wouldn’t refer to Thunderball as flawless Bond, it remains one of the series’ best efforts. With its great action, interesting settings and stellar babes, it’s a winner." Starring Sean Connery, Claudine Auger. MGM, $104.98, 6/10/2025.

A WORKING MAN [4K UHD] (2025): "If anyone expects a thrilling action thriller from A Working Man, they will encounter disappointment from this dull and poorly made effort. It brings yet another paint-by-numbers Jason Statham project with zero inventiveness or excitement." Starring Jason Statham, Jason Flemyng. Warner, $32.98, 6/10/2025.

THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING (2025 REISSUE) [BLU-RAY] (2014): "Thanks to a stellar lead performance from Eddie Redmayne, The Theory of Everything deserves notice. However, too much of the movie itself seems like a conventional – and fairly safe – biopic." Starring Eddie Redmayne, Felicity Jones. Universal, $24.98, 4/22/2025.

GOLDFINGER [4K UHD] (1964): "After more than six decades and 25 films, Goldfinger remains virtually perfect Bond. Exciting, clever and fun, it sums up everything that makes 007 endearing." Starring Sean Connery, Gert Frobe. MGM, $104.98, 6/10/2025.

LANDMAN: SEASON ONE [BLU-RAY] (2024-25): "Set in the world of Texas oil, Landman brings an erratic first season. Despite some interesting segments related to the business, too much dull character drama materializes." Starring Billy Bob Thornton, Ali Larter. Paramount, $33.99, 5/13/2025.
