Blu-ray Review – Blues Brothers 2000

Although it would seem natural to sequelize the 1980 hit, "The Blues

comic timing and generous stage command. It took 18 years for a

persistent, constructing a picture that could do justice to the spirit
of the previous extravaganza while forging a new identity for a
different era. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
