The following Blu-rays and DVDs are being released on Tuesday, March 14, unless otherwise noted: Collateral Beauty (Blu-ray + Ultraviolet) Details: 2016, Warner Home Video Rated: PG-13, adult themes, strong language The lowdown: If you like cheap, artificial and manipulative sentimentality than this is the movie for you. It is unimaginable to understand the pain and suffering a parent must go through after the loss of a child, which is what makes “Collateral Beauty” such an emotionally disgusting feature. The cynical and insincere fashions in which the film deals with grief are unpardonable and outrageous. So many aspects of the film are so phony that you can easily create a laundry list of shortcomings. The movie also is simplistic and predictable: You know everything that is going to happen within the first 10 minutes. And that is a shame because the movie features a stellar cast, including Will Smith, Helen Mirren, Edward Norton, Kate Winslet, Keira Knightley, Michael Pena and Naomie Harris.
