Rent It Note: images are publicity stills and do not reflect the picture quality of the Blu-ray under review. The Movie: If you’ve ever asked yourself questions like “How did toothbrushes ever go from straight to angled?” or “Why does my potato peeler have a chunky handle?” or “Why did they make the iPhone look more like an Apple product than an old-style telephone?”, the probing documentary …
