The following Blu-rays and DVDs are being released on Tuesday, Aug. 23, unless otherwise noted: The Nice Guys (Blu-ray + DVD + Ultraviolet) Details: 2016, Warner Home Video Rated: R, graphic violence, language, nudity, drug use The lowdown: Screenwriter-director Shane Black seems to have culled the best moments from some of his previous features such as “Lethal Weapon,” “The Last Boy Scout,” “The Last Action Hero” and other buddy films to create this raucous and comic confection starring Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling. Crowe plays Jackson Healy, a hired enforcer with his own, strange moral code. Gosling is Holland March, a so-so, often bumbling, private investigator more interested in getting paid than solving the cases for which he is hired. The movie is at its best when Crowe and Gosling are on screen together. They create movie magic; their collective charisma explodes off the screen.
