The Brothers Grimsby Blu-ray
Sacha Baron Cohen's latest comedy The Brothers Grimbsy starts with a mattress gag and packs in a lot of jokes related to elephant penises and other jokes of a sexual nature. Other movies from the actor have also featured a lot of grossout humor, but this spy thriller takes it to the next level. Still, the relationship between Mark Strong's Sebastian and Sacha Baron Cohen's Nobby makes the plot of The Brothers Grimsby stronger than the films the comedian has cobbled together over the past. The two actors are a good match for one another playing long-lost brothers who work out their issues while trying to save the day. These performances are supplemented by work from Isla Fisher, Ian McShane and Rebel Wilson, not to mention there's a recurring joke about Daniel Radcliffe. The Brothers Grimsby often has its moments, but it may be a little too obscene for some audiences. Sony Pictures Home Entertainment's Blu-ray is pretty basic. A Digital version of the movie is included, but isn't advertised on the box. Extras are also standard and include a gag reel and deleted scenes. They are all pretty funny, and it proves we were saved from even more elephant semen in this movie. Catch all the penis jokes to your hearts content by ordering your own copy here.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Blu-ray
It's important to understand right off the bat that Whiskey Tango Foxtrot is not a flat-out comedy, at least not in the sense that the trailers for the film would have had you believe. Instead, it's closer to a drama about a woman, Kim Baker (Tina Fey) who is dissatisfied with her life and decides to make a change, heading to Afghanistan to be a reporter in the early 2000s. She leaves behind her boyfriend, her former job and her gym membership to give the new gig a go and makes a lot of mistakes along the way. She also meets a lot of great people, including Tanya Vanderpoel (Margot Robbie), Ian MacElpie (Martin Freeman) and Fahim Ahmadzai (Christopher Abbott). The movie may not be exactly what we anticipated, but the Glenn Ficarra and John Requa film is still worth a watch. The Paramount Home Media Distribution title is actually the sort of movie that really benefits from bonus features. Based on a book written by real-life embed journalist Kim Barker, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot was shot with help from Barker herself and even the help of the US military, who gave the creative team insight on what was correct and incorrect with the script. If you liked the movie, you'll probably like the extras, too. Check out "War Reporter: The Real Kim" and "Embedded In Reality." Order your own copy here.
