Soon after, two violent Russian mobsters show up at the door making strange demands. They leave the protagonist in the hospital. A detective arrives and questions the lead. Fearful for his own life and those around him, the barkeep conducts his own investigation, encountering strange and violent individuals along the way. Reviews were good for this crime\/dark comedy. A small number complained that the film wasn\u2019t as funny as expected and didn\u2019t care for the troubled characters. However, the vast majority stated that while the story was a basic homage to 90s crime pictures, it featured strong performances, was stylishly delivered and kept them gripped throughout.

They and other settlers\ndecide to move to a remote location in the Galapagos Islands and start life\nanew. However, it isn\u2019t long before the different views between group members\ncome into conflict and result in misbehavior and eventually a lack of food.\nCritics were mixed about the picture, although it did earn more positive\nnotices than negative ones. Almost half thought the characters were overly\nsimple and also found the drama and satirical elements at odds. However, the\nmajority were intrigued by the bizarre but accurate story, and appreciated that\nthe movie took risks and didn\u2019t follow a conventional path. It features Jude\nLaw, Vanessa Kirby, Daniel Bruhl, Ana de Armas, Sydney Sweeney, Richard\nRoxburgh and Toby Wallace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cinemastance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/DVD-Freakier-Friday-fixed.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32428\" width=\"282\" height=\"182\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FREAKIER FRIDAY &#8211; This sequel to the 2003 Disney comedy (which was a remake of a 1976 feature from the studio) reintroduces viewers to the mother and daughter who once swapped bodies. The daughter is now a music producer and parent, while raising her own teen and prepping for a new marriage. But there\u2019s tension in the house, as the teen\u2019s potential sister-in-law is her class rival. A bizarre accident causes all four ladies to swap bodies. They must work together to correct the situation. Notices were decent for this follow-up. About one-quarter of write-ups stated that the movie rehashed a lot of the jokes and situations from the original, resulting in a forgettable film. Still, most enjoyed seeing the two leads together on screen and found the picture to be breezy fun with a positive message. Jame Lee Curtis, Lindsay Lohan, Julia Butters, Sophia Hammons, Mark Harmon, Manny Jacinto, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, Christina Vidal, Haley Hudson, Chad Michael Murray, X Mayo and Vanessa Bayer headline the film. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cinemastance.com\/freakier-friday-is-an-amusing-but-overly-familiar-follow-up\/\">You can read a full review of the movie here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cinemastance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/DVD-Him-movie-fixed.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32429\" width=\"266\" height=\"167\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">HIM \u2013 After a young football player shows incredible\npromise, a legendary quarterback nearing retirement asks if the youngster would\nlike to visit his training facility. The excited athlete agrees and is taken to\na remote compound, where he is put through numerous, increasingly strange\nchallenges. It isn\u2019t long before the new arrival wonders if the veteran might\nhave sinister plans for him. This horror picture didn\u2019t score a touchdown with\nthe press. Roughly one-third of reviewers did write that the movie looked\nspectacular and was intrigued as it showed the desperation a legendary great\nwill resort to in order to stay famous. Alas, everyone else wrote that while\nthe movie introduced plenty of interesting ideas, it didn\u2019t handle any of them\neffectively, and noted that the story became more and more ridiculous as it\nprogressed. The film is available in a 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray combo, a 4K\nUltra HD and Blu-ray Steelbook, or a standalone Blu-ray. It stars Marlon\nWayans, Tyriq Withers, Julia Fox, Tim Heidecker and Jim Jeffreis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cinemastance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/DVD-Light-of-the-World.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32245\" width=\"277\" height=\"172\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">LIGHT OF THE WORLD \u2013 This feature was set for release a few\nweeks ago, but was delayed at the last minute and is now arriving this week.\nIt\u2019s a faith-based animated family feature that tells the story of Jesus from\nthe point-of-view of the young Apostle John. When the boy\u2019s father falls into\ndebt, the youth searches for a way to help. The protagonist meets the divine\nfigure and decides to follow his teachings. He witnesses the deity\u2019s\nbeginnings, right through his crucifixion and resurrection. Most critics recommended\nthe movie. A few voices stated that the picture was well-intentioned, but very\nblunt and obvious in its attempts to convert young viewers into followers.\nStill, most felt that the animation was stylish and slick, and thought that\ntelling the story through the eyes of a child added a unique element to the\nstorytelling. The voice cast includes Ian Hanlin, Benjamin Jacobson and Michael\nBenyaer.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cinemastance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/DVD-Naked-Gun-01-fixed.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32430\" width=\"271\" height=\"168\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">THE NAKED GUN \u2013 Those familiar with the 1980s will fondly\nremember <em>The Naked Gun<\/em> series, starring Leslie Neilson as an\nentertainingly inept police detective stopping various criminals. In this\nchapter, the son of Neilson\u2019s character has followed in his late dad\u2019s\nfootsteps and is a detective for the LAPD. When an employee for a tech\nbillionaire is murdered, the protagonist investigates and uncovers a\nridiculously elaborate conspiracy. This comedy earned a great deal of good\npress. A small number didn\u2019t think the latest follow-up was memorable and\nsimply consisted of a series of blunt and obvious gags. Yet everyone else was\npleasantly surprised, stating that the lead was perfectly cast, the pacing was\nzippy, and the picture contained an endless supply of silly gags that mostly\nhit the mark. The movie is available in a 4K Ultra HD package, as well as a\nBlu-ray only release. The cast includes Liam Neeson, Pamela Anderson, Paul\nWalter Hauser, Danny Huston, CCH Pounder and Kevin Durant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cinemastance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/DVD-Prisoner-of-War-fixed.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32431\" width=\"270\" height=\"173\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PRISONER OF WAR \u2013 In this period action flick set at the end\nof World War II, a British SAS officer is taken captive by Japanese forces. He\nis placed in a Philippine POW camp run by a vicious general. As the conflict\ncomes to an end, the hungry, depleted captives are prepared for the Bataan\nDeath March. As if that wasn\u2019t bad enough, those in charge set up a series of\ndeath matches between the prisoners for their amusement. But the lead hatches a\nplan to escape and take revenge. This low-budget action picture earned more\nrecommendations than pans. About one-third of write-ups found the story so\nserious and grim that the entire effort was a slog to endure. However, the\nmajority thought that the picture delivered some excellent fight scenes and\nsolid performances that helped raise it above the usual direct-to-disc fare.\nScott Adkins, Peter Shinkoda, Michael Copo&lt; Donald Cerrone and Gabbi Garcia\nheadline the picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cinemastance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/DVD-Red-Sonja-2025-fixed.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32295\" width=\"256\" height=\"163\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">RED SONJA \u2013 Here is another title that was pushed back two\nweeks. It is a retelling of Marvel comic book warrior Red Sonja (who last\nappeared onscreen in 1985). A young woman\u2019s village is destroyed by a tyrant.\nShe is captured, picked out to be a gladiator and is trained to fight like a\nwarrior. The protagonist eventually unites other outcasts in the kingdom to\ndestroy the ruler and his minions. Critics were only slightly more positive\nthan negative on this version of the story. Almost half commented that the\nbudget was too slim and it suffered from poor visual effects. They also noted\nthat the humorless tone didn\u2019t help matters. Still, slightly more wrote that\neven though the movie was uneven, the lead performer\u2019s charisma helped the\nmovie deliver enough effective sword-and-sandal mayhem to earn it a\nrecommendation. It stars Matilda Lutz, Robert Sheehan, Wallis Day, Luca\nPasqualino and Michael Bisping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cinemastance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/DVD-Soon-movie-fixed.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32432\" width=\"273\" height=\"185\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SOON \u2013 An aspiring vlogger finds himself in deep financial\ntrouble. He is facing eviction, can\u2019t build an audience and is shunned by his\nfamily. One day, he runs into an old college acquaintance and sparks fly. The\nlead begins dating the woman and she assists him in making his online channel\npopular. But strange packages from an unknown sender begin arriving at the door\nthat relate to a decades-old mystery. It all leads to a potentially deadly\nsituation. This low-budget indie effort has only been seen by a couple of\nreviewers, but so far reaction has been upbeat. They note that the film was\nmade on a very modest budget, resulting in some technical wobbles. But they\nalso insist that the plot is clever, there is a good twist or two, and the\nmovie effectively examines the problems that arise for vloggers desperate for\nfollowers. Dominik Alesia, Anna Roemer and Keith Kelly headline the picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cinemastance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/DVD-Spinal-Tap-II-End-Continues-fixed.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32433\" width=\"285\" height=\"189\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SPINAL TAP II: THE END CONTINUES \u2013 This follow-up to the 1982 comedy classic is, like its predecessor, a mockumentary following the title hard-rock band. More than 40 years after the previous chapter, documentarian Marty DiBergi (played by director Rob Reiner) finds that the members have all gone their separate ways, but are now contractually obligated to perform one last show. Cameras follow the group as they reform, rehearse and bicker. More reviewers enjoyed the picture than disliked it. About one-third thought the movie didn\u2019t compare to the original and consisted of informal improvisations that didn\u2019t land. Yet the consensus was that, as long as you didn\u2019t expect the film to match its predecessor, it did deliver some hilarious moments, amusing characters and an entertaining tune or two. You can pick up a Blu-ray only version or 4K Ultra HD only Steelbook of the film. Besides Reiner, it features Michael McKean, Christopher Guest, Harry Shearer, Valerie Franco, C.J. Vanston, Fran Drescher, Don Lake, John Michael Higgins, Chris Addison, Paul Schaffer, Garth Brooks, Questlove, Trisha Yearwood, Chad Smith, Lars Ulrich, Elton John and Paul McCartney.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cinemastance.com\/spinal-tap-ii-the-end-continues-still-hits-a-few-amusing-notes\/\">Read a detailed review of the feature right here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cinemastance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/DVD-Together-movie-fixed.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32434\" width=\"285\" height=\"176\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">TOGETHER \u2013 A couple experiencing martial problems decide to\nmove out to a small town. They go for a hike in the woods and fall into a cave.\nBefore reaching safety, the husband consumes water and after falling asleep,\nthe pair awaken to find themselves temporarily stuck together. They return\nhome, only to learn the disturbing history of the cave. They also find the same\nsticky problems recurring as their personal issues become more pronounced.\nReviewers gave this horror picture high marks. A few voices claimed that the\nsupernatural elements didn\u2019t gel with the relationship drama and had a hard\ntime getting involved. But all others described the movie as a compelling\nbody-horror tale with excellent performances, dark humor and disturbing chills\nas it examined codependent relationships. The movie is available in a 4K Ultra\nHD and Blu-ray set or as a standalone Blu-ray. It stars Dave Franco, Alison\nBrie, Damon Harriman and Mia Morrissey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>BLASTS FROM THE PAST!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cinemastance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/DVD-Mask-1994-fixed.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32435\" width=\"277\" height=\"181\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those looking for something older will also find plenty of\noptions.

He faces off against a mobster who wants the mask for\nhimself. While not a big-budgeted effort, the comedy was the fourth\nhighest-grossing film of 1994, delivering plenty of laughs and fantastic\nmoments. The feature also marked the screen debut of Camerion Diaz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For this release, the original 35mm negative was given a 4K scan and restoration.
