With Thanksgiving coming up soon, we plow ahead with the remainder of 2024. Check out the site's special holiday-program focused page for viewing options!
BORDERLANDS [BLU-RAY] (2024): "Derivative and without its own inspiration, Borderlands fails to provide a satisfying mix of action and science-fiction. Desperate to entertain, the film winds up as little more than a barely coherent collection of cinematic influences." Starring Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart. Lionsgate, $39.99, 10/22/2024.
THE BEAST WITH FIVE FINGERS [BLU-RAY] (1946): "A horror flick with an unusual ‘villain’, The Beast With Five Fingers can’t completely overcome the silliness of its basic concept. However, it does pretty well with its tale and becomes a reasonably effective thriller." Starring Robert Alda, Peter Lorre. Warner, $21.99, 10/29/2024.
DR. SEUSS' HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS [4K UHD] (1966): "A genuine holiday classic, How the Grinch Stole Christmas holds up well after nearly 60 years. It comes with a mix of charm and cleverness that allows it to endear." Starring Boris Karloff, Thurl Ravenscroft. Warner, $33.99, 10/29/2024.
HELLRAISER III: HELL ON EARTH [4K UHD] (1992): "With Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth, the franchise largely abandons the sadistic and dark vibe of its predecessors to bleed into a more poppy vibe. This doesn’t work and it robs the series of what makes it unique." Starring Terry Farrell, Doug Bradley. Arrow, $119.95, 10/22/2024.
LOONEY TUNES COLLECTORS CHOICE VOLUME 4 [BLU-RAY] (1937-1964): "Unsurprisingly, the 25 shorts of Looney Tunes Collectors Choice Volume 4 vary in quality. That said, I think we get more wheat than chaff and this becomes arguably the strongest of the four releases." Starring Mel Blanc. Warner, $21.99, 11/26/2024.
THE RETURN OF DOCTOR X [BLU-RAY] (1939): "Though Humphrey Bogart apparently hated it, I think The Return of Doctor X offers a generally competent horror tale. While inconsistent, it still keeps us moderately involved most of the time." Starring Humphrey Bogart, Rosemary Lane. Warner, $21.99, 10/29/2024.
