You're never too old for "Lethal Weapon." Too young, sure, but never too old, even if Riggs and Murtaugh are a bit past their prime these days.

Still, you can revisit the glory days of the Mel Gibson and Danny Glover-starring action franchise with the "Lethal Weapon Collection," the new Blu-ray set that hits shelves today (May 22). We've got an exclusive behind-the-scenes clip from the Blu-ray all about the relationship between Riggs and Murtaugh, and why they were such a groundbreaking action duo for their time.

Daniel Radcliffe made it clear that Harry Potter was being left behind when he followed up the hit franchise with this British horror movie, "The Woman In Black," now on Blu-ray and DVD.

Pick of the Week

Daniel Radcliffe could've done pretty much whatever he wanted after the eight-film "Harry Potter" franchise drew to a close. The young and fabulously wealthy Brit might have jumped headfirst into another studio-driven blockbuster or retreated to a quiet life of attending "Potter" conventions and swimming in a bank vault filled with gold coins. He could have run for prime minister, and won.

But Radcliffe did none of these things. Instead he signed on for a low-budget horror flick called "The Woman in Black," and turned it into a $126-million-grossing, sequel-spawning hit. Big ups to the former boy wizard for spotting hit material where many observers might have seen a curious career choice. For Radcliffe, though, it was all about trying something new -- including fatherhood.

"The Grey," or as it had been previously known "Liam Neeson Versus Wolves," genuinely surprised audiences back in January by being a lot sharper and deeper than the month's usual fare. Neeson led an ensemble cast as Ottway, a hardnosed wolf hunter who takes charge of the survivors of a plane crash once they're stranded in the Alaskan wilderness.

To celebrate the Blu-ray and DVD release of "The Grey," we have an exclusive deleted scene from the film, which takes place shortly after the wreck. It gives you a pretty good idea of that tone of the film with the survivors occasionally joking about their need to keep going.

Filming a movie inevitably puts an actor in one or two compromising situations, and during the shoot for "One for the Money," Jason O'Mara may have strayed farther than he and co-star Katherine Heigl were expecting.

With the Blu-ray and DVD for "One for the Money" hitting stores today, we have an exclusive look at the gag reel featured on the disc. During one of those unused takes of O'Mara and Heigl kissing, the actor's hands wandered a bit, making for a funny-awkward moment on set.

When O'Mara spoke with us for the release, we simply had to ask what was going on during that scene. Playing up his innocence, he joked that he couldn't recall the scene. "I have absolutely no recollection of that whatsoever," he said.
