MARLOWE [BLU-RAY] (1969): "Miscast and oddly directionless, Marlowe becomes a spotty detective story. Though it still musters enough entertainment value to keep us with it, the tale never really clicks like it should." Starring James Garner, Gayle Hunnicutt. Arrow, $39.95, 6/9/2026.

TEXAS CHAINSAW [BLU-RAY/BLU-RAY 3D] (2013): "An attempt to ‘reset’ the world of Leatherface and ignore decades of sequels, Texas Chainsaw comes with a slew of problems. It fails to balance these with anything memorable or vivid so it turns into a pretty lousy horror flick." Starring Alexandra Daddario, Dan Yeagher. Lionsgate, $14.99, 5/20/2013.

THE BRIDE! [4K UHD] (2026): "An ambitious and audacious horror tale, The Bride! comes with some impressive elements. However, too much of it exists just as ‘message movie’ content and the final product seems borderline incoherent a lot of the time." Starring Jessie Buckley, Christian Bale. Warner, $29.99, 5/19/2026.

BRING IT ON [BLU-RAY] (2000): "More than 25 years after its release, Bring It On shows some unpleasant flaws that seemed less apparent back then. Still, the movie comes with enough cleverness and charm to remain a largely engaging piece of fluff." Starring Kirsten Dunst, Gabrielle Union. Universal, $14.98, 7/1/2014.

BLUE THUNDER: THE COMPLETE SERIES [BLU-RAY] (1984): "An extension of a moderately successful movie, the TV version of Blue Thunder could be worse, but it could be better. For better 1980s or for worse, it comes across as a pretty typical crime-fighting adventure series." Starring James Farentino, Dana Carvey. Sony, $55.99, 5/5/2026.

OMEN IV: THE AWAKENING [BLU-RAY] (1991): "An attempt to revive the franchise after a dormant decade, Omen IV: The Awakening comes with nearly no redeeming qualities. Poorly made in almost all possible ways, it becomes the nadir of the series." Starring Faye Grant, Michael Woods. Shout, $64.99, 10/22/2019.
