Christmas now awaits just around the corner. Check out the site's special holiday-program focused page for viewing options now that we're into the yuletide season!

THE TALK OF THE TOWN [4K UHD] (1942): "With a good cast and a legendary director, The Talk of the Town should offer a winning affair. Unfortunately, the movie drags and fails to find the necessary groove." Starring Cary Grant, Jean Arthur. Sony, $30.99, 12/17/2024.

TRANSFORMERS ONE (STEELBOOK) [4K UHD] (2024): "After 17 years, Transformers One finally brings a Transformers movie that I liked. With a lot of heart, laughs and action, the film becomes an enjoyable origin story." Starring Chris Hemsworth, Brian Tyree Henry. Paramount, $42.99, 12/17/2024.

THE WILD ROBOT [BLU-RAY] (2024): "Though it can seem awfully evocative of other animated films, The Wild Robot works well anyway. It creates a charming mix of drama, comedy and emotion to deliver an engaging tale." Starring Lupita Nyong'o, Pedro Pascal. DreamWorks, $29.98, 12/3/2024.

THE WALKING DEAD [BLU-RAY] (1936): "Despite its status as a zombie movie, The Walking Dead provides a character-based tale that proves insightful. Boris Karloff shines as the lead and helps make this a richer experience than we might otherwise expect." Starring Boris Karloff, Ricardo Cortez. Warner, $21.99, 10/29/2024.

CONCLAVE [BLU-RAY] (2024): "A mix of thriller and examination of the Catholic Church’s inner workings, Conclave largely succeeds. While some elements stretch credulity, the movie still gives us a good ride." Starring Ralph Fiennes, Stanley Tucci. Universal, $30.99, 12/17/2024.

THE LION KING [BLU-RAY 3D] (2019): "As a technical achievement, The Lion King impresses. As a film, it doesn’t live up to its predecessor." Starring Donald Glover, Beyoncé. Disney, $39.99, 10/22/2019.
