I’m going on record, right here, right now: “The Lego Movie” is the best Blu-ray set I have reviewed in 2014. This packaging from Warner Bros. has more or less everything a viewer could want, and what’s more, the film itself is…
Comedy legend Jerry Lewis jumps to life in “The Nutty Professor 50th Anniversary Collector’s Edition,” landing on Blu-ray from Warner Bros. Featuring Lewis in his best known role, this well-crafted set offers special insight that hasn’t before been available regarding a comedy…
