Blu-ray Review: Those Who Wish Me Dead
This movie exists. Why, exactly, is anyone's guess. But it does star Angelina Jolie. So if you want to see one of the weakest performances of her career, check it out.
Blu-ray Review: Initiation - (2021)
Solidly-crafted thriller about some potentially-damaging cover-ups at a university and the influence of social medial over college students.
Blu-ray Review: Seance - (2021)
'Seance' is the directorial debut of screenwriter Simon Barrett, whose work has fared better when directed by Adam Wingard.
DVD Review: Lucky - (2021)
Don't believe the marketing campaign, this ain't a time-loop thriller or a horror film. Writer-star Brea Grant delivers a mess of a PSA masquerading as a "scary movie."
Blu-ray Review: Spiral: From the Book of Saw
A kinda-sorta 'Saw' movie that finds Chris Rock delivering solid work as a grizzled veteran police detective investigating murders committed by an apparent Jigsaw copycat.
Music Reviews: Archival Releases from Nina Simone, plus Dallas Burrow, Son Volt, Mick Kolassa, & Kate Taylor
A remastered edition of Simone's extraordinary 1958 debut and a collection of her live performances, plus more new CDs you should know about.
DVD Review: Room 9
Horror stars, including Kane Hodder, populate this experimental horror film. It may not tell a coherent story, but there is some off-the-wall intrigue to be found in this bizarre tale.
Music Reviews: A Must-see Concert Blu-ray from Little Steven, Plus Joan Armatrading
Stevie Van Zandt and his stupendous band shine in a new video release.
Blu-ray Review: A Quiet Place and A Quiet Place Part II - Two-Movie Collection
The excellent 'A Quiet Place' sequel is available on its own, but if you passed on adding the 2018 original to your collection, now is the time to grab this great twofer.
Blu-ray Review: Wrath of Man
Jason Statham stars in a high-adrenaline heist thriller directed by Guy Ritchie.
4K UltraHD Blu-ray Review: Space Jam
The Michael Jordan live-action/animated hybrid from 1996 gets a visual upgrade to coincide with the release of the long-overdue sequel.
Music Reviews: George Harrison’s ‘All Things Must Pass’ (50th Anniversary Edition), Plus the Gun Club’s ‘Fire of Love’ (Deluxe Edition)
The "quiet Beatle" makes a loud splash with his first major solo album. Also, an expanded edition of a 1981 punk/blues standout.
Music Reviews: Rolling Stones’ ‘Live on Copacabana Beach,’ Plus Steve Dawson and John R. Miller
A rock concert for one and a half million fans and two more noteworthy releases.
Blu-ray Review: Godzilla vs. Kong
Another entry in the Legacy/Warner Bros. MonsterVerse, a series plagued by uninteresting, F/X-heavy productions. The return of Kong might've signaled a return to the funny, inventive 'Skull Island.' But it's just more nonsense like 'King of the Monsters.'
Music Reviews: Van Morrison’s ‘Latest Record Project,’ Plus Our Band and Laura Nyro
The great Irish singer's new set is less than great. Also, an excellent new folk/pop duo and a live set reminds us that the late Laura Nyro could sing 'em as well as she could write 'em.
Blu-ray Review: Here Are the Young Men
Messy, frustrating film about three recent high school grads and the trouble they get up to. But thanks to a fascinating turn by Finn Cole, well worth checking out.
Music Reviews: An Expanded Edition of the Grateful Dead’s ‘Skull & Roses’ LP, plus Crowded House and Reigning Sound
An anniversary edition of the Dead's second album, Crowded House return after a decade, and an excellent CD from Reigning SOund.
Blu-ray Review: Voyagers - (2021)
Taking a few obvious cues from 'Lord of the Flies,' this outer-space teen drama boasts impressive production values but suffers from undeveloped ideas at its core.
Music Reviews: Leo Sayer, Wanderlust, Jack Grace Band, Dana Sipos, and a Tribute to an NRBQ Cofounder
Revisiting a British pop star's heyday, a multi-artist hat tip to NRBQ's Joey Spampinato, and more new releases.
Music Reviews: An Alligator Records Anthology and Tim Buckley Live plus Johnny Ace and the Four Tunes
An independent blues label showcases highlights from its first half-century. Also, a live set from the late, great Tim Buckley and anthologies from two early vocal acts.

Not sure went wrong here. Oscar-nominated screenwriter making her directorial debut. Cult fave comic miniseries as source material. Three great stars - Melissa McCarthy, Tiffany Haddish, Elisabeth Moss - headlining.
