MADAME WEB [BLU-RAY] (2024): "A box office dud, Madame Web quickly attained a reputation as a cinematic atrocity. This seems unwarranted, for while it offers a wholly mediocre superhero experience, it never degenerates to the point where it becomes a terrible flick." Starring Dakota Johnson, Sydney Sweeney. Sony, $38.99, 4/30/2024.

THE DEPARTED (STEELBOOK) [4K UHD] (2006): "While it forms an interesting picture, The Departed doesn’t match up with director Martin Scorsese’s best. It entertains and acts as a worthwhile experience, but it doesn’t leave a substantial impression like Scorsese’s more memorable material." Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon. Warner, $39.99, 4/23/2024.

CRIMSON PEAK: COLLECTOR'S EDITION [4K UHD] (2015): "Guillermo del Toro displays his usual visual flair with Crimson Peak but he fails to create an interesting story or characters. This leaves us with an attractive film that lacks much drama or intrigue." Starring Mia Wasikowska, Jessica Chastain. Arrow, $59.95, 5/21/2024.

STIGMATA [BLU-RAY] (1999): "Part of a 'pre-apocalyptic' boom of movies on the cusp of the new millennium, Stigmata looks ridiculous 25 years later. Despite a good cast, the film offers a completely silly and over the top experience." Starring Patricia Arquette, Gabriel Byrne. Capelight, $19.98, 4/2/2024.

BUTCHER, BAKER, NIGHTMARE MAKER [BLU-RAY] (1981): "Silly and scattered, Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker becomes a tedious slasher flick. It lacks anything scary or ominous and just seems ridiculous." Starring Jimmy McNichol, Susan Tyrell. Severin, $29.95, 5/28/2024.

ARMSTRONG [BLU-RAY] (2019): "Expect a pretty solid look at the life of the first man on the Moon via Armstrong. Though not a perfect documentary, it work well as a whole and gives us a solid overview of its subject matter." Starring Harrison Ford, Neil Armstrong. Gravitas, $24.99, 4/2/2024.
