| Witness for the Prosecution |
| Charles Laughton is sublime as a legendary barrister who defies medical advice to take on the case of a man wrongly accused of murder in Billy Wilder's richly entertaining adaptation of Agatha Christie's twisty courtroom drama. Slarek bangs the gavel for Eureka's excellent Blu-ray. |

| Missing |
| You could never accuse director Costa-Gavras of not sticking to his guns. He’s a consistent and unapologetic political filmmaker with a shrewd eye for the mainstream audience. His Missing arrived on Blu-ray last week and Camus is out after curfew… |

| The Third Murder |
| In what at first seems like a change of direction, Japanese maestro Kore-eda Hirokazu delivers a compelling legal drama that also turns out to be an intriguing study of family disfunction. Slarek finds himself hooked by its low-key approach and impressed with the Arrow Academy Blu-ray. |
