There are a few new releases that you won't want to miss. Check out these hot titles: Under Capricorn - Alfred Hitchcock's 1949 historical drama was considered a failure by the director himself but the movie is not without interest and plays somewhat better if the viewer goes into it not expecting a typical Hitchcock thriller; Beirut - John Hamm stars as a handsome white guy must deal with trouble in a foreign hot spot and a traumatic past event; and The Addiction - this 1995 indie vampire flick is well-acted, strikingly photographed, and cleverly executed but hobbled by pretentiousness.

Some great DVD and Blu-ray reviews have been added to the the DVD Talk Review Database recently including: Mission: Impossible (4K UHD) - Director Brian De Palma's movie lacks the breakneck pacing and big action sequences of later movies in this series, but some strong performances and a solid screenplay mean this movie hasn't dated as much as one might think; Time to Die - the debut feature of Mexican iconoclast director Arturo Ripstein, this film has the economical plotting of a pulp B movie, but it boasts a richness of character and an unpretentious visual elegance that makes it stand out from the pack; and The Fencer - an underdog sports film that is a well-made, substantive, and engrossing drama hinged on its melancholy historical texture and gorgeous depiction of the sport itself Be sure to check out our DVD Talk Review Database for all the latest reviews including an entire section devoted to reviews of DVDs out this week.

It'd be a good week to go to the movies. Here are DVD Talk's recent theatrical reviews: Ant-Man and the Wasp - Paul Rudd is charismatic, Michael Peña was back with his phenomenal character, the CGI was cool and the action flows nicely in this humorous sequel; and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom - a special dose of dumbness that plagued this film from start to finish... bad choices all thrown together into a summer sci-fi flick. Check out these, and more, in DVDTalk's Theatrical Review section.
