Beam Me Up, Sulu (2025) B+ EDIT “"Beam Me Up, Sulu" aims to be sensitive and educational, and it’s also entertaining, especially when it focuses on a moviemaking challenge merging fandom with limited resources.” – Blu-ray.com Feb 17, 2026 Full Review Redux Redux (2025) 98% B+ EDIT “There’s a defined move from the helmers to not bog the movie down in technobabble and logic, out to stay human with wild multiverse hopping, and the picture moves fast enough to maintain intensity to the very end.” – Blu-ray.com Feb 17, 2026 Full Review The Dreadful (2026) B EDIT “A final push into a more enigmatic area of mystery doesn’t quite land, but the feature carries enough compelling scenes of danger and torment to support the viewing experience.” – Blu-ray.com Feb 17, 2026 Full Review Tyler Perry's Joe's College Road Trip (2026) D EDIT “Perry is back again with another cheap endeavor that mixes rough comedy with insincere messages on black history, remaining as slapdash as ever with his writing and direction.” – Blu-ray.com Feb 13, 2026 Full Review Wuthering Heights (2026) 60% D+ EDIT “Often resembles a blend of music videos and telenovelas.” – Blu-ray.com Feb 13, 2026 Full Review Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie (2025) 97% A EDIT “The focus here is on madcap fun with bellylaughs galore, and they deliver hugely with this wonderfully spirited endeavor, which is strictly out to provide a ride of Canadian humor and moviemaking creativity, generating a delightful viewing experience.” – Blu-ray.com Feb 12, 2026 Full Review Crime 101 (2026) 86% B EDIT “One feels the length at times, but the movie has long stretches of focus and hardness that sustain the viewing experience, making this return to troublemaking in L.A. passably engaging.” – Blu-ray.com Feb 11, 2026 Full Review Hellfire (2026) B- EDIT “It’s not a picture that’s going to wow, but with lowered expectations, it provides bits of B-movie excitement and reliable revenge formula.” – Blu-ray.com Feb 11, 2026 Full Review GOAT (2026) 80% B EDIT “It’s not a particularly original film, lacking surprises, but there’s a dollop of sweetness and plenty of personality to enjoy, along with basketball extremity only animation can provide.” – Blu-ray.com Feb 10, 2026 Full Review Cold Storage (2026) 77% C EDIT “"Cold Storage" has sequences of proper hellraising and grisliness (CGI isn’t always polished enough to sell grotesqueries), but there’s just not enough of them to carry a somewhat lifeless viewing experience.” – Blu-ray.com Feb 10, 2026 Full Review By Design (2025) 69% B- EDIT “Has a capable cast to help support the strangeness of the idea, and Kramer has a few things to share about the state of being a woman in the world today, keeping the picture interesting when it isn’t always engaging.” – Blu-ray.com Feb 10, 2026 Full Review The Mortuary Assistant (2026) 41% D EDIT “Muddies up one too many times, leading to an unsatisfying ending on an already confusing picture, while the basic genre experience of the production doesn’t bring any fresh ideas to help generate a proper fear factor.” – Blu-ray.com Feb 10, 2026 Full Review Misdirection (2025) D+ EDIT “"Misdirection" does have decently committed performances to help the endeavor achieve a few moments of tension, but the picture is pretty thin overall, lacking enough cinematic emphasis to engage.” – Blu-ray.com Feb 10, 2026 Full Review The Strangers: Chapter 3 (2026) 18% D- EDIT “A stunning bore, wasting whatever potential was there to take the story into a bonkers direction, leaving ticket-buyers with three features of nothingness that should’ve been one terrible movie.” – Blu-ray.com Feb 6, 2026 Full Review F Valentines Day (2026) D- EDIT “The picture fails to reach even modest expectations for fun, becoming a bummer to sit through.” – Blu-ray.com Feb 4, 2026 Full Review Whistle (2025) 60% D+ EDIT “The helmer can’t get performances where they need to be, and Egerton’s writing veers into the ridiculous one too many times, hoping to coast on the appeal of retro entertainment.” – Blu-ray.com Feb 4, 2026 Full Review Jimpa (2025) 55% B EDIT “Hyde loses storytelling focus in a picture that should be 20 minutes shorter. However, she still has the cast and a heartfelt study of the ties that bind, greatly complicated by individual needs of support and expression.” – Blu-ray.com Feb 4, 2026 Full Review Solo Mio (2026) 80% B- EDIT “James and Grimaudo make their moments together shine, with the former rarely tasked to portray human emotions in his films.” – Blu-ray.com Feb 4, 2026 Full Review The Roaring Game (2025) D+ EDIT “Built with cliches and overacting, making for a long sit. Even the ways of curling can’t really save the picture, which spends too much time away from the ice to really celebrate the sport. ” – Blu-ray.com Feb 4, 2026 Full Review Relationship Goals (2026) 23% D- EDIT “The endeavor tries to have heart and soul, but the only feeling viewers might feel is ickiness as the offering is nothing more than a grotesque commercial for a megachurch mogul.” – Blu-ray.com Feb 4, 2026 Full Review Disneyland Handcrafted (2026) 100% A- EDIT “For Disneyana types, the movie is an engrossing opportunity to enjoy a nearly 3D-like viewing experience of pure labor. For the rest, Iwerks makes sure to celebrate the creative and physical drive of a massive undertaking, making for a riveting sit.” – Blu-ray.com Jan 30, 2026 Full Review Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) 83% B EDIT “It’s a darkly comedic take on doomsday, allowing Verbinski room to play with tone and intensity as he oversees an unusual time travel/apocalyptic crisis of confusion.” – Blu-ray.com Jan 30, 2026 Full Review My Bloody Valentine (1981) 39% 3.5/5 EDIT “While it lacks production polish, "My Bloody Valentine" has a different sort of appreciation for character and masked menace, while Mihalka serves up the gore with a few inventive kills.” – Blu-ray.com Jan 28, 2026 Full Review Shelter (2026) 63% B EDIT “While it’s not particularly memorable, "Shelter" isn’t goofy like many of Statham’s recent releases, making for a slightly more interesting viewing experience.” – Blu-ray.com Jan 28, 2026 Full Review The Wrecking Crew (2026) 73% D+ EDIT “Absolutely endeavors to get by on charm and star power, but there isn’t a lot of that to embrace. Instead, there’s dismal routine and a lame sense of humor, severely limiting the blast-from-the-past atmosphere Soto hopes to deliver.” – Blu-ray.com Jan 28, 2026 Full Review
