<p>&#8220;The Black Phone&#8220;<br />&#8220;Blue Moon&#8220;<br />&#8220;Colossal&#8220;<br />&#8220;East of Wall&#8220;<br />&#8220;Ema&#8220;<br />&#8220;Fall&#8220;<br />&#8220;How to Train Your Dragon&#8220;<br />&#8220;The Iron Claw&#8220;<br />&#8220;Mississippi Grind&#8220;<br />&#8220;Triangle of Sadness&#8220;</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">12 NEW TO BLU-RAY/DVD</span></strong></p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"></figure>
<p><strong>&#8220;3:10 to Yuma&#8221; (Criterion)</strong></p>
<p>Often undervalued when it comes to discussion of the best Westerns of all time, Delmer Daves&#8217; 1957 banger was resurrected by James Mangold&#8217;s remake in 2007 with Christian Bale and Russell Crowe. Five years later, it was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry, and Criterion added it to their collection a year later in 2013. This great film adaptation of a short story by Elmore Leonard stars Glenn Ford and Van Heflin in the story of a rancher who tries to get a notorious criminal to the titular train so he can go on trial in Arizona. It&#8217;s gorgeously framed, perfectly paced, and now it&#8217;s the 4K section of the Criterion Collection.</p>
<p>Special Features</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>New 4K digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack</li>
<li>Alternate 5.1 surround soundtrack, presented in DTS-HD Master Audio</li>
<li>One 4K UHD disc of the film presented in Dolby Vision HDR and one Blu-ray with the film and special features</li>
<li>Interviews with author Elmore Leonard and actor Glenn Ford’s son and biographer, Peter Ford</li>
<li>English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing</li>
<li>PLUS: An essay by critic Kent Jones</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>&#8220;Cloud&#8220;</strong></p>
<p>One of the best living filmmakers, Kiyoshi Kurosawa, released this thriller quietly in 2025, which means most of you probably haven&#8217;t seen it. Criterion has spotlighted the film through their Janus Contemporaries brand, giving it a slight but effective release. The important thing is not the special features but that you see this great film, one of my favorites of 2025, and one that seems timelier every day. It&#8217;s about a guy named Yoshii who crosses paths with the wrong people during one of his online retail scams. Kurosawa has made a smart thriller that embeds its social commentary in riveting suspense. It&#8217;s great.</p>
<p>Special Features</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Meet the Filmmakers: Kiyoshi Kurosawa, a Criterion Channel original interview</li>
<li>Trailer</li>
<li>Notes by critic Sean Gilman</li>

<p><strong>&#8220;A Little Prayer&#8220;</strong></p>
<p>Angus MacLachlan&#8217;s &#8220;A Little Prayer&#8221; premiered at Sundance 2023, but then fell down a rabbit hole of licensing and distribution issues, getting stuck in the pipeline for every two years. Finally getting released in Summer 2025, it also played Ebertfest and the Chicago Critics Film Festival that year, with the wonderful MacLachlan and Levy as a guest at the latter. MacLachlan also made the journey to Ebertfest, and that panel is included on this Blu-ray, co-moderated by yours truly. The &#8220;Junebug&#8221; writer/director returns to a world he knows in this tender character study of a man who discovers that his son may not be a decent person, and what that means for his relationship with a daughter-in-law he now sees as his own child. It&#8217;s smart, moving, and wonderful.</p>
<p>Special Features</p>

<p><strong>&#8220;The Man Who Wasn&#8217;t There&#8221; (Criterion)</strong></p>
<p>The Coen brothers loved to switch up genres, jumping from &#8220;O Brother, Where Art Thou&#8221; to this noir that couldn&#8217;t be more different if it tried. One of the more underrated films in the Coen filmography, this 2001 noir stars Billy Bob Thornton as Ed Crane, a California barber who devises a plan to blackmail his wife&#8217;s lover. Featuring some of Roger Deakins&#8217; most striking cinematography, this one also has a great Coen ensemble that includes Frances McDormand, Richard Jenkins, Scarlett Johansson, James Gandolfini, and a standout turn from Shalhoub. The Criterion release includes not only a previously-available commentary by the Coens but a new conversation with the brothers and the phenomenal author Megan Abbott, a writer who knows about the James M. Cain influence on this gem.</p>
<p>Special Features</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>New 4K digital restoration, supervised and approved by director of photography Roger Deakins, with 5.0 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack</li>
<li>One 4K UHD disc of the film presented in Dolby Vision HDR and one Blu-ray with the film and special features</li>
<li>Audio commentary featuring filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen and actor Billy Bob Thornton</li>

<p><strong>&#8220;Minority Report&#8220;</strong></p>
<p>Steven Spielberg has arguably the best 2-movie year in history with 1993&#8217;s &#8220;Jurassic Park&#8221; and &#8220;Schindler&#8217;s List,&#8221; but another candidate for consideration if one was making a listicle of such things would be his similarly distinct 2002: &#8220;Catch Me If You Can&#8221; and &#8220;Minority Report,&#8221; which made its 4K debut this month. The special features remain the same, but this is a film to own in 4K, one of the best sci-fi features of the 2000s, a prescient story of how technology and surveillance would impact the world. It&#8217;s a movie that gets better every time I see it.</p>
<p>Special Features</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The Future According to Steven Spielberg</li>

<p><strong>&#8220;Network&#8221; (Criterion)</strong></p>
<p>This November marks the 50th anniversary of a movie that feels like it should be necessary watch in a time when journalism is under attack. As newspapers cut staffs and networks are increasingly under the control of outside forces, go back and watch Paddy Chayefsky&#8217;s devastating prediction of where the world was headed. Peter Finch plays Howard Beale, who has a total breakdown on live TV, revealing how much people love to watch personal demons made public. Roger understood the power of the film, and Sidney Lumet&#8217;s underrated work on it, writing in his Great Movies essay: &#8220;In “Network,” which is rarely thought of as a “director’s picture,” it is his unobtrusive skill that allows all those different notes and energy levels to exist within the same film. In other hands, the film might have whirled to pieces. In his, it became a touchstone.&#8221;</p>
<p>Special Features</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>New 4K digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack</li>
<li>One 4K UHD disc of the film presented in Dolby Vision HDR and one Blu-ray with the film and special features</li>

<p><strong>&#8220;Now You See Me, Now You Don&#8217;t&#8220;</strong></p>
<p>If you&#8217;re wondering how a sequel got made to a 2016 movie that most people forgot, two words for you: International audiences. These movies are shockingly huge around the world, proving that the language of magic is universal, I guess. The second film made over $330 million; this one only about $230 million, but still well in the black on the profit sheet. Why the decrease? The lengthy wait between films didn&#8217;t help, but this is also a pretty lazy flick, a movie that uses cheap effects to tell a familiar story with an overcrowded cast. On the one hand, it&#8217;s a serviceable distraction on a rainy Saturday if you don&#8217;t want to be challenged more than that. On the other, it&#8217;s kind of a waste of time. Although it is worth noting that Lionsgate has given it a pretty robust Blu-ray with commentary, featurettes, and deleted scenes. They know about that international physical media dollar, too.</p>

<p><strong>&#8220;Predator: Badlands&#8220;</strong></p>
<p>Everything old was new again in Fall 2025 with a reboot of &#8220;The Running Man,&#8221; the sequel &#8220;Tron: Ares,&#8221; and this standalone &#8220;Predator&#8221; action flick, easily the best of the bunch. Matt Zoller Seitz&#8217;s 4-star review at this site was one of our most divisive of last year. I can&#8217;t quite go that far, but I get it. This is such an original, fun movie, the right way to build on an existing property instead of just remaking what worked before. Director Dan Trachtenberg&#8217;s love for this world is palpable, and Elle Fanning is legitimately great, as she so often is. It also looks incredible with some of the best sci-fi cinematography of last year from Jeff Cutter, even more vibrant in 4K.</p>
<p>Special Features</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">

<p><strong>&#8220;Rental Family&#8220;</strong></p>
<p>A relative hit on the fest circuit, this dramedy seemed to die in a crowded awards season. It&#8217;s too bad because there&#8217;s enough to like here to warrant a look. Brendan Fraser stars as an American actor who gets a job pretending to be real people, such as a mourner at a funeral. When he&#8217;s asked to pretend to be the estranged father of a little girl, he goes along with it, leading to inevitable heartbreak. &#8220;Rental Family&#8221; is unapologetically melodramatic, but so are the real-life actors it centers. It needs to be pitched to an emotional 11, and there are strong supporting performances from Akira Emoto and Mari Yamamoto that help ground it when Fraser&#8217;s puppy-dog look gets a bit too saccharine.</p>

<p><strong>&#8220;Sisu: Road to Revenge&#8220;</strong></p>
<p>The best action movie of 2025 that you probably haven&#8217;t seen is now available on streaming and Blu-ray. Jorma Tommila returns as Aatami Korpi, who has become something of a legend for his skill dispatching Nazis from the first film. Joined by great character actors Richard Brake and Stephen Lang, &#8220;Sisu: Road to Revenge&#8221; is like Looney Tunes meets &#8220;Mad Max: Fury Road,&#8221; a ludicrously enjoyable action flick that really should have a huge fan base. If just because I want to see another one.</p>

<p><strong>&#8220;Song Sung Blue&#8220;</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s kind of funny that the big biopics of 2025 like &#8220;Springsteen: Road to Nowhere&#8221; flopped this awards season and the movie that&#8217;s about Neil Diamond but not really about Neil Diamond landed an Oscar nod for Best Actress. Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson star in the story of Lightning and Thunder, a Diamond cover duo that made it big enough that they opened for Pearl Jam. They&#8217;re effective, and the music rules, but the film is pretty standard melodrama without much true character development or visual language at all. Still, you could do worse for a bit of unexpected Oscar bait, especially if you&#8217;re trying to see all of this year&#8217;s nominees.</p>

<p><strong>&#8220;A Woman Under the Influence&#8221; (Criterion)</strong></p>
<p>When people ask me the best performance of all time, I give one of two answers: Al Pacino in &#8220;Dog Day Afternoon&#8221; or Gena Rowlands in this John Cassavetes masterpiece, now upgraded to 4K by the Criterion Collection. Her Mabel Longhetti is unforgettable, a simmering cauldron of emotional upheaval. As Roger wrote in his Great Movies review, &#8220;Her madness burns amid the confusions of domestic life. Nothing goes easily.&#8221; What a great line for a great movie.</p>

<p>In the early morning of Tuesday, February 17th, Reverend Jesse Louis Jackson, Sr., completed his assignment on earth, and surrounded by loving family members, took his last breath. He had a lifetime to figure out his assignment, and step-by-step, he did. </p>
<p>Born in humble circumstances in Greenville, South Carolina, no one could have predicted that he would become this larger-than-life presence, not only on a local or national level, but internationally. I would dare say that his name was known on all seven continents. Looking back over Reverend Jackson’s life, it is quite clear that words like &#8220;Giant&#8221; or &#8220;Icon&#8221; sometimes seemed too small. He was quite simply a towering figure whether in the civil rights movement, in the war against poverty, in the fight for education, in the movement for social and economic justice, and on the world stage, in the quest for peace.</p>
<p>His son, U.S. Representative Jonathan Jackson, recalled at a press conference how his father went through three name changes. (Born to Helen Burns and Noah Robinson, he has been known as Jesse Burns, Jesse Robinson and Jesse Jackson, taking his stepfather Charles Henry Jackson&#8217;s last name in 1957.) During his years of advocating for causes of freedom, justice and peace, he figured out that no matter your name, no matter your race or your circumstances of birth, you are somebody. And, indeed, his rousing, ringing slogan <strong>&#8220;I AM SOMEBODY,&#8221;</strong> became a rallying cry that he had us shout back in response to him. &#8220;We all are,&#8221; he said, &#8220;God&#8217;s Child.&#8221;</p>
<p>When I was a high school student in Chicago in the 1960s, I was inspired to attend sessions at what was then called Operation Breadbasket on the South Side of Chicago. It may have resembled a church service, but its focus was community uplift and activism. This was truly a grassroots organization, an offshoot of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (&#8220;SCLC&#8221;). They advocated for jobs, housing, education and equal opportunity. I and other students were welcomed warmly by the unstoppable Reverend Willie Barrow, a short dynamo of a woman who had a knack for organizing and inspiring audiences. She was the mother of the organization. She encouraged us to come back even as we went away to college, and law school and we always did. We all loved her.</p>
<p>Over the years, the organization evolved from Operation Breadbasket (after breaking away from SCLC) to People United to Save (and later Serve) Humanity—also known as Operation Push—and finally, to the Rainbow PUSH Coalition. At these gatherings, we were enthralled by a young, tall handsome speaker named Jesse Jackson. He was already becoming known on the national stage. I marched with Dr King when he came to Chicago to promote Open Housing in 1966. Jesse Jackson was there. We knew that he was a protege of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and indeed, was on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis,Tennessee when Dr. King was assassinated on April 4th, 1968.</p>
<p>His oratory was electric, fiery and passionate. And whether he wore a big Afro and daishiki, or a business suit, he commanded attention. It is my theory that he was born to his leadership position with some special annointing that was not of this earth. No matter the gathering, in Washington D.C. at the Congressional Black Caucus meetings, or at the campaign offices of soon-to-be Mayor of Chicago, Harold Washington, or at a Prayer Breakfast for Black History Month, I noticed that other speakers seemed to retreat a bit when he entered the room. No one wanted to follow his speeches. I often wondered how he came up with his slogans so quickly, &#8220;you may be born in the slums, but the slums are not born in you,&#8221; &#8220;never look down on a man unless you are helping him up,&#8221; and so many more. But the enduring slogans &#8220;I AM SOMEBODY,&#8221; and &#8220;KEEP HOPE ALIVE,&#8221; promised us a better future, and encouraged us to never give up.</p>
<p>You can see his leadership in the amazing documentary &#8220;Nation Time&#8221; by William Greaves, which was shot in 1972 at the National Black Political Convention. Mayor Richard Hatcher invited a cross section of leaders to Gary, Indiana to discuss the future of politics for Black Americans while the Democratic National Convention was meeting in Chicago. At various times we see everyone from Coretta Scott King and Betty Shabazz, to Amiri Baraka, Dick Gregory, Harry Belafonte and Isaac Hayes. It makes one wonder if we could gather a coalition like that today.</p>
<p>Even earlier, his leadership style was on display in 1960 when he organized the Greenville Eight, a group of Black students to go to the Public Library in Greenville, South Carolina to check out books. It seems impossible to believe now, but back then you could not check out a book in the Public Library if you were Black. At first, the library chose to shut down altogether rather than to serve the students. But, at some point, the library became open to all.</p>
<p>He led an astonishing life, surviving both the negatives and the positives of one who puts himself on the line. As he is honored in tributes around the globe, I also recalled those times when some leaders thought he flew too close to the sun, and waged campaigns to take him down a peg. We later learned that rumors may have been planted to cause us to doubt him, or to feel ambivalent about him. (Who planted the rumors, I don&#8217;t know, some said the FBI.) There were the constant questions &#8220;Why did he have to show up at every major incident? Was he just looking for publicity?&#8221; The press tried to minimize him, marginalize him and perhaps, sweep him to the side. But whatever life force he came into this world with enabled him to overcome all of that. Underestimate his intelligence, strategic brilliance and persistence at your own peril. He was not perfect, he made mistakes. But as Reverend Jackson himself said, he was not the perfect servant, he was a Public Servant. And he did not back down.</p>
<p>In hindsight, we needed Reverend Jackson to shine a light on inequality. He showed up because he cared and because he thought he could make a difference. We appreciated the totality of what he did, and he became a hero to us. Who among us can say we helped to get hostages released from Syria? I bet Navy Lt. Robert Goodman was happy to have Reverend Jackson advocating for him. Who among us can say we helped secure the release of 22 Americans held in Cuba under Fidel Castro or traveled with then-Congressman Rod Blagojevich to meet with Yugoslavian President Slobodan Milosevic to secure the release of others?</p>
<p>Who would have listened if Reverend Jackson wasn&#8217;t there, knocking on corporate doors and demanding they open their boards and executive suits to women and African Americans and people of all races? Likewise, he helped to integrate newsrooms and broadcast booths for those who were qualified, but who had not been afforded those opportunities previously. When he advocated for the ownership of sports teams, and business franchises some accused him of being an opportunist. But his answer was resounding—economic prosperity was to be shared in the hands of the many rather than the few. What he was voicing were views that he shared with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, specifically that there are no civil rights without economic rights!</p>
<p>In Hollywood, he advocated for opening unions to people of color and giving more roles on screens to African-American actors. He also advocated for more executive roles in studios so that Black people would be in positions to green-light projects. He did all of this many years before the #OscarsSoWhite became popular. Some thought his advocacy hurt the cause. But later many came around to appreciating his willingness to vocalize the inequalities. And, indeed, I was a witness to the celebrations of his birthdays by the Hollywood community at the Beverly Hilton Hotel some Octobers. Eventually everyone came around to the realization that he just wanted to help.</p>
<p>It is difficult to believe that one man did all of that and so much more. Over the 84 years of Reverend Jackson&#8217;s life it is as if he were &#8220;Zelig,&#8221; the mythical character in the mockumentary Woody Allen movie the human chameleon who happened to be in all the significant places in history at just the right time. But Jesse Jackson was no myth. He was the real deal. When you were in his presence you just knew that his celebrity was no accident. He spoke with the moral authority of one who had the interest of others at heart. And by being so heartfelt his speeches inspired you, moved you and compelled you to do something to make the world a better place. HE WAS SOMEBODY!</p>
<p>In Chicago, we claimed him as our own, and some of the TV stations said that he would often pop in unannounced to talk about an initiative or to get airtime. And you know what? They gave it to him. He not only commanded it, but he earned it, and you always knew that no matter what he did, it was not going to be boring. And that what ever cause he was espousing was likely to be one that deserved the attention. He was an astute student of the times and of what was needed to help move society forward.</p>
<p>We were both surprised and touched by the copious tears Reverend Jackson shed in Grant Park in Chicago, the night we knew Barack Obama was becoming our nation&#8217;s first Black President. Rev. Jackson must have had doubts whether he would ever see that in his lifetime. He had spent years building coalitions to register people to vote, with some suggesting this week that he had more impact on registration than anyone in history. He and we knew that he had fought, and marched and been jailed and rebuked along the way to help make that path for President Obama.</p>
<p>When “Captain Fantastic” premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 2016, I was struck by how Viggo Mortensen’s character in the movie wore a t-shirt that read, “Jesse Jackson ’88.” I got a chance to talk with Mortensen about it afterward, and he told me that it was, in fact, his own shirt that he had from when he campaigned for Jackson—as I did—during his 1988 presidential bid. In fact I knocked on doors and campaigned for Reverend Jackson in both his 1984 and 1988 campaigns for President. So many young people believed in him and believed he could make a difference. What none of us knew at the time is that his assignment was not to make a difference as a polittician. Something much broader was his destiny.</p>
<p>Even after Reverend Jackson announced that he had been diagnosed with Parkinson&#8217;s he kept showing up to fight for justice when it mattered. (It was a misdiagnosis. He had progressive supranuclear palsy). After all of his years of service it was so rewarding to see the warm enthusiastic response that he received at the last Democratic National Convention at the United Center in Chicago in 2024. When he was wheeled on stage, big smile, shaking hands with all who crossed his path, I and everyone around me were in tears. It felt like a moment for a superhero.</p>
<p>We admired him for putting his own freedom and health on the line when it mattered. But what did his family think? It was obvious that Reverend Jackson loved his family and they loved him. They were aware of his place in the world and his drive to improve things. However, I did wonder whether his wife Jackie and his children Santita, Jesse Jr, Jonathan, Yusef, Jacqueline and Ashley would have preferred that he didn&#8217;t give so much of himself all the time. At the press conference, Santita said when she called him &#8220;Reverend&#8221; he corrected her and said to call him &#8220;Daddy.&#8221; His family life was precious to him and to them. It was reassuring to hear her say it. His family was his refuge.</p>
<p>On a personal level, when Roger was in the hospital for eight months, Reverend Jackson and Father Michael Pfleger of Chicago’s St. Sabina Church would come and pray with him. No one knew this, it was just something that they did, and we appreciated it. Reverend Jackson’s friendship with Roger had preceded Roger’s hospitalization, and they had a respect for each other. At Roger’s funeral, Reverend Jackson couldn’t attend, but his son Jonathan read a speech that he had written to honor him. He hailed Roger as a “soldier with a pen” who championed the work of Black filmmakers. “Roger respected what we had to say about ourselves,” he said. “It was not his story, but he understood the value of an important film was authenticity and not the fact that it depicted your interests.”</p>

<p>The last time I saw Reverend Jackson was March 25, 2025, when I was invited to attend a celebration of him when he received the George W. Bush Award hosted by the Points of Light Foundation. His niece Brenda Robinson and so many others spoke beautifully about Reverend Jackson’s work, and about his ability to reach across the aisle to work with former President Bush. By this time, he had lost his ability to speak, but his eyes, his actions and his firm handshake conveyed all you needed to know. Sitting there with Mrs. Jackson and his family, he was the picture of contentment and of a life well-lived.</p>
<p>I convey my deepest, deepest sympathy to Mrs. Jackson, and to all of his family. May He Rest In Heavenly Bliss.</p>

<p>We also wanted to share some thoughts from friends of <em>RogerEbert.com</em> about the Reverend Jackson:</p>
<p>As a child growing up in the Midwest during the ‘70s, the Reverend Jesse Jackson who was inextricably tied to the city of Chicago, represented hope. He was a national leader who looked like me, talked like me and represented every element of my Blackness. Sure, we knew of and studied Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in school, but Jackson was the living and breathing embodiment of King’s dream. Jackson instilled pride and a belief that yes, you can do anything if you put your mind to it including running for the presidency of the United States. Thank you Mr. Jackson for helping a young Black boy believe in himself. &#8211; <em>Shawn Edwards</em></p>
<p>I attended Howard University with Santita Jackson, so my perspective is a little different. Although many will speak on his political legacy, I believe his biggest legacy was as Santita’s Dad. Rev. Jackson supported and encouraged her to join the political arena in a very different lane than her siblings. She is outspoken and in a class of her own…just like her Dad. Their bond was and is unbreakable. &#8211; <em>Carla Renata</em></p>
<p>My heavens! I met the Reverend Jesse Jackon a couple times and thought about him last week because of some work I&#8217;ve done about Dr. King, and some recollection of the 1968 Poor People&#8217;s Campaign. He spoke at our high school during Operation PUSH&#8217;s heyday. The girls in the auditorium went nuts. He was a talented athlete, a gifted orator&#8217;s whose DNC keynote address brought me to the verge of tears, and a human bridge to the most contentious confrontations of the Civil Rights Movement, not only in The Deep South, but in hate-filled Gage Park. My condolences to his loved ones, especially Jesse, Jr., a fellow former St. Albans Bulldog. His dad is irreplaceable. &#8211; <em>Bijan Bayne</em></p>
