Hoppers (2026) 97% A- EDIT “Pixar scores a major success with this wonderful feature, with Chong overseeing rich animation and flavorful voice work, while Andrews manages to find a plot and a message worth following.” – Blu-ray.com Mar 2, 2026 Full Review Dolly (2025) 77% B EDIT “Vividly sold with all kinds of gruesomeness, putting on a big display of nastiness for those who really enjoy such extremity.” – Blu-ray.com Mar 2, 2026 Full Review Heel (The Good Boy) (2025) 96% B+ EDIT “An unsettling movie at times, but also one that enjoys playing with perspective and performance, creating a memorable understanding of imprisonment that’s meant to benefit both the captive and the captor. ” – Blu-ray.com Mar 2, 2026 Full Review Youngblood (2025) B- EDIT “The two takes on "Youngblood" are different in small ways, but the 2026 version is after a grittier understanding of hurt, out to reach a slightly younger audience with a refreshed look at ’80s entertainment.” – Blu-ray.com Mar 2, 2026 Full Review In the Blink of an Eye (2026) 20% B- EDIT “It’s a big swing of a movie, and it remains an unwieldy sit, but for patient viewers, there’s a good amount of sensitivity to experience here as the endeavor seeks to inspect the power of emotional connections and the movement of time.” – Blu-ray.com Feb 27, 2026 Full Review Scream 7 (2026) 31% C EDIT “It’s nice to have Campbell back, but the writing doesn’t do much with her, especially in the second half of the feature, making the return of Sidney and her amazing resilience (seriously, she should be studied in a lab at this point) kind of blah.” – Blu-ray.com Feb 27, 2026 Full Review Operation Taco Gary's (2024) C EDIT “It’s not the laugh riot the helmer would like it to be, but Kvamme has the right idea with his timing. It’s his material that needs a lot more work.” – Blu-ray.com Feb 27, 2026 Full Review Undercard (2025) 30% B- EDIT “"Undercard" eventually slips into "Rocky" mode, but before the expected occurs, Miller generates some involving life struggles and personal relationships to follow, helping the effort get past complete predictability.” – Blu-ray.com Feb 25, 2026 Full Review The Bluff (2026) 71% B- EDIT “"The Bluff" is supported by periodic aggression, as dramatic interests aren’t exactly thrilling, making the viewing experience more enjoyably visceral than engrossing.” – Blu-ray.com Feb 24, 2026 Full Review The Napa Boys (2025) 47% B EDIT “The helmer has no idea when to quit, but he lands many laughs in the "sequel," periodically finding inspired goofiness to help support the viewing experience.” – Blu-ray.com Feb 24, 2026 Full Review Micro Budget (2024) B- EDIT “"Micro Budget" certainly has its moments, though the endeavor could definitely cut a little deeper with its comedy and interest in the difficulty of moviemaking, especially when a complete idiot is calling the shots.” – Blu-ray.com Feb 24, 2026 Full Review K-Pops! (2024) 86% B- EDIT “"K-Pops" aims to be heartwarming, succeeding in small stretches, and .Paak uses South Korean locations and culture well, creating charming moments before the offering reaches for more predictable plotting.” – Blu-ray.com Feb 24, 2026 Full Review For Worse (2025) 76% B EDIT “Landecker wins on charm here, delivering a lively performance in a likeable picture that’s often funny and occasionally real, having a little fun with life’s challenges and humiliations.” – Blu-ray.com Feb 24, 2026 Full Review Bring the Law (2026) C- EDIT “Hopes for a more dramatically involving and active effort aren’t met, but it’s not a complete wipeout, putting Taylor-Compton to work trying to shape something out of a mess of cliches and formula.” – Blu-ray.com Feb 24, 2026 Full Review Commando Ninja 2: Invasion America (2024) D EDIT “A horrifically overlong sequel that's basically out to make the same jokes, same references, and offer the same low-budget insanity as before, only it now takes what feels like a calendar year to finish the film.” – Blu-ray.com Feb 20, 2026 Full Review The Pout-Pout Fish (2026) B EDIT “Cusso and Harrington manage to keep things lively and charming in the offering, finding humor and a sense of discovery, even if fans of the original book might be slightly bewildered by what the endeavor does to reach a sellable run time.” – Blu-ray.com Feb 20, 2026 Full Review Psycho Killer (2026) 12% D EDIT “"Psycho Killer" (which was shot three years ago) is dreadful and an editorial mess, doing nothing to conjure a case of the creeps with its study of pain and suffering.” – Blu-ray.com Feb 20, 2026 Full Review This Is Not a Test (2025) 44% B- EDIT “There’s blood everywhere and high school concerns, and while the offering isn’t entirely thrilling, MacDonald does a fine job with atmosphere at times as the characters face unusual points of pressure while the world falls apart around them.” – Blu-ray.com Feb 18, 2026 Full Review How to Make a Killing (2026) 46% B EDIT “Darkly comedic action doesn’t sustain for long enough, but Ford achieves an engrossing setup, and star Glen Powell delivers a fine lead performance in a part that demands a balance of good and evil for a story that takes many turns. Perhaps too many.” – Blu-ray.com Feb 18, 2026 Full Review 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) 97% 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) 41% 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) 42% 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) 58% 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) 98% 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
