OBSESSION [BLU-RAY] (2026): "A stunning example of a no-budget flick that brought in massive bucks at the box office, Obsession doesn’t reinvent any supernatural horror wheels. Nonetheless, it explores its subject matter in a lively manner and becomes a quality genre entry." Starring Michael Johnston, Inde Navarrette. Universal, $27.98, 7/14/2024.

BONNIE SCOTLAND [BLU-RAY] (1935): "When Bonnie Scotland focuses on its comedic leads, it becomes amusing. Unfortunately, the movie subjects us to a wholly useless romantic subplot that drags down the project as a whole." Starring Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy. Warner, $21.99, 7/28/2026.

CAPTAIN HORATIO HORNBLOWER [BLU-RAY] (1951): "As a swashbuckling tale of adventure on the sea, Captain Horatio Hornblower proves completely, wholly fine but no better. While it manages moderate entertainment, nothing about it seems especially memorable or creative." Starring Gregory Peck, Virginia Mayo. Warner, $21.99, 8/11/2026.

CRIME WAVE [BLU-RAY] (1954): "Despite a plot packed with potential, Crime Wave ends up as a relative dud. It never fulfills the potential its story implies so it lands with a thud." Starring Gene Nelson, Sterling Hayden. Warner, $21.99, 7/28/2026.

TROY: COLLECTOR'S EDITION [BLU-RAY] (2004): "Troy turns a remarkable series of battles into bland melodrama. The interpersonal elements don’t coalesce and the fight scenes fail to take flight." Starring Brad Pitt, Orlando Bloom. Arrow, $39.95, 8/18/2026.

ENEMY AT THE GATES [BLU-RAY] (2001): "At its core, Enemy at the Gates brings a compelling tale of competing snipers. Unfortunately, the film spends too little time on that narrative thread and too much time on unnecessary tangents." Starring Joseph Fiennes, Jude Law. Paramount, $14.99, 5/19/2009.
