RUMBLE IN THE BRONX: COLLECTOR'S EDITION [4K UHD] (1995): "Rumble in the Bronx helped make Jackie Chan a star in the US, but it doesn’t hold up especially well more than three decades later. It lacks the zing necessary to become anything more than only sporadically watchable." Starring Jackie Chan, Anita Mui. Arrow, $219.95, 6/30/2026.
THE 5-MAN ARMY [BLU-RAY] (1969): "At its core, The 5-Man Army offers the bones of a lively heist flick. As executed, though, it seems meandering and dull." Starring Peter Graves, James Daly. Warner, $21.99, 5/26/2026.
THE MASTERMIND [BLU-RAY] (2025): "Essentially a deconstruction of the heist movie, The Mastermind revels in the mundane and avoids many overt thrills. This makes it a slow-moving but nonetheless largely engrossing riff on the genre." Starring Josh O'Connor, Alana Haim. Mubi, $24.99, 6/30/2026.
AFRICA SCREAMS [BLU-RAY] (1949): "Little more than a showcase for Abbott and Costello, Africa Screams comes across as the collection of comedy skits it is. Abbott and Costello elevate the material, though, and make this a largely winning program." Starring Bud Abbott, Lou Costello. Shoreline, $20.99, 5/19/2026.
SCREAM 7 [4K UHD] (2026): "Though Scream VI became the series’ best entry in years, Scream 7 fails to continue that winning streak. Despite the return of original screenwriter Kevin Williamson, Scream 7 seems unimaginative and tedious." Starring Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox. Paramount, $31.99, 6/16/2026.
7 FACES OF DR. LAO [BLU-RAY] (1964): "More of a moral fable than anything else, 7 Faces of Dr. Lao doesn’t provide a tight narrative. Still, buoyed by terrific work from Tony Randall and inventive scenarios, it entertains." Starring Tony Randall, Barbara Eden. Warner, $21.99, 5/26/2026.
