Is God Is (2026) 98% B+ EDIT “It’s an impressive debut from Harris, who tends to soulful anguish and grindhouse-style hellraising, delivering an unusual take on revenge cinema.” – Blu-ray.com May 15, 2026 Full Review In the Grey (2026) 52% C EDIT “There’s a blast of violence waiting at the end of the effort, but it takes some work to stay involved in the convoluted, undercooked screenplay and lifeless performances.” – Blu-ray.com May 15, 2026 Full Review Obsession (2025) 95% B+ EDIT “This understanding of despair helps to make the endeavor special, out to leave viewers fully disturbed instead of merely upset.” – Blu-ray.com May 14, 2026 Full Review Marty, Life Is Short (2026) 96% B+ EDIT “There’s little darkness here, but Kasdan doesn’t need it, capturing Short as he is, exploring a special impishness and creative drive that’s carried him through life’s challenges.” – Blu-ray.com May 12, 2026 Full Review LifeHack (2025) 97% B- EDIT “"LifeHack" has its high points and slickness, but when it comes to selling intensity, Corrigan undermines the whole endeavor.” – Blu-ray.com May 12, 2026 Full Review Tuner (2025) 93% B EDIT “The helmer doesn’t land a particularly strong ending, but there’s an incredible foundation here worth admiring, and Roher clearly has the skills to handle fictional entanglements.” – Blu-ray.com May 12, 2026 Full Review An Enemy Within (2026) C EDIT “There’s a decent idea for a night of horror in the screenplay, but the helmer doesn’t push for a more active viewing experience, basically making a filmed play with the sluggish endeavor.” – Blu-ray.com May 12, 2026 Full Review Driver's Ed (2025) 71% D+ EDIT “The whole endeavor plays just like every Farrelly production, supplying wackiness and sudden sensitivity, while constant profanity is meant to offer edge to a thoroughly unmemorable film.” – Blu-ray.com May 12, 2026 Full Review Office Killer (1997) 25% B- EDIT “Sherman generates a visually compelling film, keeping imagery flavorful while the story eventually loses its power.” – Blu-ray.com May 10, 2026 Full Review Night Shadows (1984) 17% C EDIT “The offering eventually gets a little wilder, but the wait for a payoff can be a true test of patience.” – Blu-ray.com May 10, 2026 Full Review Descendant of the Sun (1983) B+ EDIT “There's plenty of oddity to examine with this entertaining and imaginatively crafted "Superman" riff.” – Blu-ray.com May 8, 2026 Full Review Salaam Bombay! (1988) 94% B+ EDIT “Unique in its screen energy and daring in its tonality, with Nair hoping to bring attention to a dire situation of living where life seems disposable.” – Blu-ray.com May 8, 2026 Full Review Doomsdays (2013) 89% B- EDIT “Spare and maybe a bit silly, best served to viewers in a relaxed state of mind, as the offering contains no drama or urgency as it follows weeks of deceptive people committing property destruction.” – Blu-ray.com May 8, 2026 Full Review The Gambler (1974) 83% B EDIT “Caan holds it all together with his presence, giving "The Gambler" unique scenes of silent tension and internal processing to go with meatier displays of irritation.” – Blu-ray.com May 8, 2026 Full Review T.A.G.: The Assassination Game (1982) B- EDIT “There's nothing here that's dramatically substantial, but there's enjoyment to be found in Castle's sheer labor to turn this tale of confrontation and sleuthing into something decently cinematic.” – Blu-ray.com May 8, 2026 Full Review The Dead Thing (2024) 81% D+ EDIT “"The Dead Thing" feels too thin and remains protracted, and while it tries to stay just out of reach, Kane can't sell a more tempting journey into confusion and dismay.” – Blu-ray.com May 8, 2026 Full Review Goodbye, Columbus (1969) 93% B EDIT “It's not going to leave much of an impression with its attempt to communicate deep feelings, but there's personality and reflection to follow.” – Blu-ray.com May 8, 2026 Full Review Boxcar Bertha (1972) 56% B- EDIT “Cinematic mastery would start to form in 1973's "Mean Streets," but Scorsese has his moments here, out to deliver the basics in Corman demands while figuring out his style and fondness for screen intensity.” – Blu-ray.com May 8, 2026 Full Review Body of Evidence (1992) 8% D EDIT “"Body of Evidence" has Madonna willing to go where the writing leads, but she's certainly not a commanding presence in an already clunky, awkward picture. ” – Blu-ray.com May 8, 2026 Full Review Timecrimes (2007) 90% B EDIT “The movie runs out of steam before it finds an ending, but Vigalondo provides a good hour of appealing disorientation and mystery, making for an enjoyable brain- bleeder.” – Blu-ray.com May 8, 2026 Full Review George A. Romero's Resident Evil (2025) B- EDIT “Grows warm as it remembers the moviemaker, out to make sure viewers understand influence and character, which is appealing, and helps the endeavor pull out of notably dry stretches.” – Blu-ray.com May 8, 2026 Full Review Panic (1983) D EDIT “It's a shockingly dull effort, and while it contains moments of gore and touches of sexploitation, there's no sense of urgency to anything.” – Blu-ray.com May 8, 2026 Full Review Dead Boyz Can't Fly (1992) D EDIT “An aggressive picture, and not in a thrilling manner, out to punish viewers with its overkill, buttoned with a deadly serious message about the plague of American violence that becomes the only laugh in the feature. ” – Blu-ray.com May 8, 2026 Full Review Demonwarp (1988) D+ EDIT “Struggles with pace and excitement, going awfully slow for something clearly built to be a joyride of genre-hopping, and the general sluggishness of the feature is a tremendous disappointment to behold.” – Blu-ray.com May 8, 2026 Full Review The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo (2025) 96% B EDIT “Tends to wander as Cespedes works through atmosphere and relationships, but he's committed to a core understanding of human connection during a time of great uncertainty.” – Blu-ray.com May 8, 2026 Full Review
