The Wiz
(Universal, $27)
Sidney Lumet’s re-imagining of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz looks “pretty terrific” on Blu-ray, said The Wall Street Journal. “In its own small way a benchmark for black cinema,” this 1978 film starred an all–African-American cast—including Diana Ross and Michael Jackson.
Cronos
(Criterion, $24)
This “unconventional” 1993 vampire film marked the debut of acclaimed director Guillermo Del Toro, said the Los Angeles Times. When an antiques dealer is “bitten” by a mechanical scarab, he starts craving human blood. But the story is “less about” gore than the seductions of immortality.
