You’d think that a film written by Adam Sandler, and starring him and four other well-known and successful comic actors would be hilarious. In the case of “Grown Ups”, the comedy fails.

It’s the highest-grossing movie of all-time, and millions of people will be buying DVD/Blu-ray copies. I won’t be one of them. “Avatar” is out on video. But this first edition comes without the extra features that movie fans have come to expect with DVD releases. The story, as you must know by now, is based […]
