Blu-ray Review: City Slickers (Collector's Edition)

This Billy Crystal comedy holds up remarkably well nearly 30 years later and is helped along by a spiffy new transfer by Shout Factory.

One of the most purely FUN entries in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) teams up with Hope van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly).

Blu-ray Review: Reprisal

Yes, Bruce Willis is featured. But be forewarned, he plays second fiddle to Frank Grillo in this workmanlike heist thriller.

DVD Review: Saved by the Bell: The Complete Collection

'Good Morning, Miss Bliss,' seasons 1-4 of 'Saved by the Bell,' the single-season 'The College Years,' and two made-for-TV movies (plus a bunch of cool bonus material) make this set a must for fans of the late-'80s/early-'90s teen favorite.

Music Blu-ray Review: John Lennon - Imagine and Gimme Some Truth

A double-feature consisting of fully restored vintage film 'Imagine,' and the outstanding documentary about the making of that album (originally released in 2000).

Blu-ray Review: Exorcist II: The Heretic (Collector's Edition)

With a cast that includes familiar faces Linda Blair and Max Von Sydow, augmented by cinema legends Richard Burton and Paul Henreid, this 'Exorcist' sequel should have been a sure thing. This new collector's edition helps explain why it wasn't.

4K UltraHD Review: Punisher: War Zone

It's better than the 2004 'Punisher' (though we'll take Thomas Jane as Frank Castle over Ray Stevenson), but that's almost damning with faint praise.

4K UltraHD Review: The Punisher (2004)

Pre-MCU Marvel adaptation boasts a convincing turn by Thomas Jane as Frank Castle, but it's not enough to make this 'Punisher' a true winner.

Blu-ray Review: Occupation (2018)

There are lots of alien invasion movies to chose from. This Australian import has very little to offer in an over-crowded genre.

Blu-ray Review: Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

An intermittently entertaining sequel that, in the end, does not live up to the 'Jurassic' branding. Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard phone it in.

Blu-ray Review: Ocean's 8

Light, silly, frothy, thin, and ultimately very forgettable... but also kind of entertaining.

Album Reviews: Led Zeppelin - The Song Remains the Same (2018 Edition), Plus Music from Jim Wyly, Jamie Lin Wilson, Kenny Wayne & the Jellyman"s Daughter

A new version improves a 1976 Led Zeppelin concert album. Plus, blues and folk CDs from Jim Wyly, Jamie Lin Wilson, Kenny Wayne, and the Jellyman's Daughter.

Blu-ray Review: Tag

Ensemble comedy benefits from top-notch cast, all game to make the most of a thin premise. An awkward third-act "twist" topples the house of cards, sadly.
