The latest entertainment news and reviews in 4K UHD, Blu-ray, movies and more…
We at Why So Blu? were big fans of the latest film from acclaimed director David Fincher, Gone Girl, and now everyone will have a chance to check out one of the year’s most talked about films, when it arrives on Blu-ray on January 13th. This is the hit film adapted form a best-selling novel that […]
While I have never read the novel of the same name, and despite this movie being directed by one of my favorites, Gone Girl simply looks on the cover like a movie I would eat up and relish every bite of it. I mean let’s examine everything it has going for it. It stars Ben […]
Part mystery-thriller, part sly commentary, Gone Girl finds director David Fincher working hard to bring Gillian Flynn’s bestselling novel to life. The result is a very entertaining feature that is able to straddle the line of darkness thanks to its many twists and turns, strong performances, a great amount of dark humor, and the sort […]
Following the previous (and great) teaser trailer, we now have a full theatrical trailer for director David Fincher’s (Se7en, Zodiac, The Social Network) upcoming 2014 film, Gone Girl, based on the bestselling novel by Gillian Flynn. After The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, it seems that Fincher is fine with adapting popular pulp novels found in grocery stores, but […]
Those keeping up with the news may have heard today that David Fincher (Fight Club, Se7en, Zodiac) will likely not be directing a Steve Jobs biopic, scripted by Aaron Sorkin. Given my love for their previous collaboration, The Social Network, that is unfortunate news, but with that said, the day was also met with a […]
I remember when this film first came out. I never heard of it until a few months before it’s release date. I thought that was odd. Then a star’s name in the billing credits caught my eye and that’s all it took. I didn’t care anymore as to how this film managed to sneak under […]
Who knows? I may be the only one excited for this title, but that doesn’t stop me from exclaiming a huge HELL YEAH to the small press release below where it’s officially been announced that Runner Runner is coming home to the Blu-ray format on January 7th. I couldn’t be happier because that means yet […]
Runner Runner is the kind of trashy B-movie that doesn’t aspires to build a whole lot of expectation for the viewer. It simply wants to be seen as watchable. The film is harmless in what it presents, but it is a shame that no one really seems to care how effective this film turned out […]
Up until a few months ago, I never heard of this film. Then a star’s name in the billing credits caught my eye and that’s all it took. Hook…line…and sinker! Yeah, baby! That’s right! My Gemma’s in the house again and it’s time to get this party started! So needless to say when I received […]
An ideal holiday gift in preparation for the highly-anticipated December 25th debut of the newest thrilling drama starring Chris Pine, The Jack Ryan Collection arrives on Blu-ray or DVD December 3, 2013 from Paramount Home Media Distribution. The exceptional set includes four classic films featuring the legendary CIA analyst created by author Tom Clancy together for the first […]
Y’all (my Texas accent is starting to protrude) start right here if you’re ever going to figure out where Batman got his mad detective skills from. That’s right y’all. Look no further than Argo, a cute little movie that won a few awards. And best of all, Warner Bros. has your best interest at heart […]

For my Top 10 list of favorite films from the calendar year of 2012 I decided to take the high road. What I mean by that is in these annual posts I also tend to pick on and rip apart all the films I either hated or was utterly disappointed by in the current calendar […]
Sean, Rachel and Liz review this thriller based on a true story from director Ben Affleck. Starring Sean Wright, Rachel Appelbaum and Liz Manashil. Directed by Amy Taylor. Synopsis: Six Americans escape when militants take over the US embassy in Teheran. Taking refuge with the Canadian ambassador, if discovered, they will be executed. So CIA specialist Tony […]
Argo is a dynamite thriller that takes a story based on true events and makes it work as a high stakes suspense feature. Regardless of whatever facts may have been embellished or altered for the sake of the film, Argo works very well because it has a grounded sense of reality and a terrific cast, […]
In all honesty, I never really was a big Ben Affleck fan. Sure there will always be my guilty pleasure of Daredevil with the late, great Michael Clarke Duncan as the Kingpin and YES I loved him in his early masterpiece with Damon, Goodwill Hunting, but once he became known as “Bennifer,” I kind of […]
Good Will Hunting is a movie that I have always really enjoyed since it came out in 1997 and established Matt Damon and Ben Affleck as big time stars. They won an Oscar for their screenplay, as did Robin Williams for his wonderful performance in the film. It has been 15 years since that film […]
I want to spotlight a single scene of Reindeer Games. At one point in this film, Ben Affleck’s character is attempting to escape his situation. He is in a casino and his plan is to enter a bathroom and exchange clothes with the person in there with him (weirdly, the person he switches with is […]
