Mother Mary (2026) 72% C EDIT “"Mother Mary" is symbolic and stagey, but Lowery delivers impressive visuals throughout the picture, which help to engage when the story itself isn’t much of a draw.” – Blu-ray.com Apr 22, 2026 Full Review Animal Farm (2025) C EDIT “Serkis and Stoller are after something flashier with the endeavor, and the cartoon-y approach does more to undermine the story’s message than help it reach young minds.” – Blu-ray.com Apr 22, 2026 Full Review Michael (2026) 36% C EDIT “All the rough edges have been professionally sanded down by Logan and Fuqua, and perhaps this is what the faithful wants, presented with two hours of the cuddliest, kindest Michael Jackson imaginable.” – Blu-ray.com Apr 21, 2026 Full Review Desert Warrior (2025) C EDIT “There are highlights to enjoy, but it takes quite a bit of patience to wait for them.” – Blu-ray.com Apr 21, 2026 Full Review Dirty Hands (2026) D+ EDIT “"Dirty Hands" has a few charged encounters worth studying, but not enough to support this slight offering of frayed family ties and criminal negligence.” – Blu-ray.com Apr 21, 2026 Full Review Omaha (2025) 90% B+ EDIT “It’s not an easy sit, but for those who usually seek out films about human experiences, Webley and Machoian generate a powerful one, using a real world situation of surrender to inspire an intimate study of desperation.” – Blu-ray.com Apr 21, 2026 Full Review Special Op: Rent-a-Cop (2026) D EDIT “Pretty dismal stuff, asking star Michael Jai White to find his lighter side in an endeavor that simply doesn’t have the resources to do much of anything, looking to skate by on crummy slapstick and weak stabs at humor.” – Blu-ray.com Apr 21, 2026 Full Review Lee Cronin's The Mummy (2026) 45% C EDIT “Cronin doesn’t have a finest sense of editing, allowing "The Mummy" to feel long and somewhat uneventful between scenes where it tries to get nuts.” – Blu-ray.com Apr 17, 2026 Full Review Roommates (2026) 67% C- EDIT “Levack ultimately loses control of the movie, but there’s never much filmmaking authority to begin with, leaving "Roommates" caught between a desire to be raunchy and real, killing potential in the process.” – Blu-ray.com Apr 17, 2026 Full Review Lorne (2026) 68% A- EDIT “The picture ultimately finds intimacy, which is greatly educational, but it’s also a grand reminder of professional achievement and influence few could ever match.” – Blu-ray.com Apr 17, 2026 Full Review Busboys (2026) F EDIT “Lurches from scene to scene, trying to deliver a laugh riot without actually including any jokes. If there’s a worse film than "Busboys" in 2026, I’ll be shocked.” – Blu-ray.com Apr 17, 2026 Full Review Ballistic (2025) 71% B+ EDIT “Faust is successful in his quest to make the audience feel as frustrated as Nance when she's exposed to a haunting system of capitalism and expendability, leaving viewers with plenty to think about.” – Blu-ray.com Apr 15, 2026 Full Review Balls Up (2026) 26% D EDIT “"Balls Up" reeks of desperation, finding the production determined to make something outrageous, not necessarily funny, following tedious Farrelly formula for the entire run time.” – Blu-ray.com Apr 15, 2026 Full Review Normal (2025) 74% B EDIT “A mostly entertaining (mid)western, supplying B-movie thrills while Wheatley destroys bodies and Odenkirk brings aged reserve to the part of a seasoned cop growing aware he’s in the middle of a bad situation.” – Blu-ray.com Apr 14, 2026 Full Review Wasteman (2025) 100% A- EDIT “"Wasteman" is intense, rarely leaving a state of agitation as Taylor finds himself in a position of unwanted debt, and the production generates fascinating prisoner interplay and searing tensions to really sell a riveting sense of doom.” – Blu-ray.com Apr 14, 2026 Full Review Fuze (2025) 84% B- EDIT “The payoff here doesn’t match the set-up, leaving "Fuze" winded as it attempts to land an ending.” – Blu-ray.com Apr 14, 2026 Full Review Thrash (2026) 43% D+ EDIT “"Thrash" has the makings of an enjoyable ride (albeit one with mediocre visual effects), but Wirkola often gets in his own way, pushing for wackiness when the endeavor is more compelling as a developing nightmare.” – Blu-ray.com Apr 10, 2026 Full Review Outcome (2026) 29% D- EDIT “It’s all meant to be meaningful and soulfully refreshing, but it’s nearly impossible to sit through.” – Blu-ray.com Apr 9, 2026 Full Review You, Me & Tuscany (2026) 64% D+ EDIT “As routine a movie as can be made, offering viewers little enchantment while Bailey and Page attempt to survive a picture that doesn’t ask much of their talents. ” – Blu-ray.com Apr 9, 2026 Full Review Heads or Tails? (2025) 89% B- EDIT “"Heads or Tails" has texture, and there’s an interestingly twisty tale to follow, but the helmers aren’t terribly focused on pacing, leaving the viewing experience lumpy.” – Blu-ray.com Apr 8, 2026 Full Review The Drama (2026) 77% B+ EDIT “Sure, the feature could be more twisted and direct with its serving of apprehension, but Borgli still retains itchiness while trying to reach a wider audience.” – Blu-ray.com Apr 8, 2026 Full Review Faces of Death (2026) 68% B EDIT “Goldhaber doesn’t craft a particularly dominating genre experience, but he captures some sinister business with the effort, which carries an effective sense of dread and a feeling of encroaching madness.” – Blu-ray.com Apr 7, 2026 Full Review Exit 8 (2025) 92% B EDIT “Kawamura creates a strikingly cinematic tour of madness at times, working with excellent technical achievements and nicely rattled acting to help explore this unique puzzle.” – Blu-ray.com Apr 7, 2026 Full Review Bunnylovr (2025) 64% B- EDIT “Settles on a few scenes of human connection that carry unusual atmosphere at times, helping the effort achieve stretches of seduction and anxiety that offer Zhu as a promising young filmmaker to watch.” – Blu-ray.com Apr 7, 2026 Full Review The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026) 43% B- EDIT “"The Super Mario Galaxy Movie" remains action-packed and vibrantly animated, but there’s new heaviness in play as the endeavor gets carried away selling a brand instead of telling a story.” – Blu-ray.com Apr 7, 2026 Full Review
