The latest entertainment news and reviews in 4K UHD, Blu-ray, movies and more…
Paramount’s 4K Ultra-HD debut of Cameron Crowe’s masterpiece Almost Famous is one of my most anticipated releases of the year. In a year where 4K Ultra-HD is have a banner year for great titles, nonetheless. This beloved film has a brand new restoration and will have brand new bonus materials to boot. Quite possibly one […]
Random Acts of Violence on Blu-ray is set to arrive this week, so how was it? Read the summary: “Comic book creator Todd Walkley, his wife, assistant and best friend, are heading to NYC Comic Con when bad things start to happen—people start getting killed. It soon becomes clear that a crazed fan is using […]
Dreamworks has had some strong series in their animation wing (Kung Fu Panda, Shrek) and How To Train Your Dragon has possibly been their very best. The Hidden World marks the close to this story (Which also has a television series) and completion of a trilogy. Each of these films has been full of fantasy […]
Nearly ten years after the first movie wowed audiences around the world, Hiccup and Toothless return to captivate fans with an adventure of a lifetime in DreamWorks Animation’s HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON: THE HIDDEN WORLD. The final quest from Dean DeBlois’ (Lilo & Stich, How to Train Your Dragon trilogy) arrives on Digital and via the digital […]
An interesting mix of smaller movie notables this time out (T2-3D aside!) with a few films from previous weeks that I just saw in my humble effort to keep the all ardent cinefiles up to date. (Plus the empty month of August sure has some slim pickins!) Killer robots from the future now in 4K […]
It’s official! How To Train Your Dragon 2 Blu-ray flies on the HD premium format of choice on October 21st! I can’t say where it will officially place by year’s end, but right now it’s definitely on my Top 10 list of favorite films in 2014 for sure! So you know it has to be […]
We are a little over halfway through 2014 and with that, I figured it would be a good idea for Why So Blu’s writing staff to spread the word on which films they believe to be the best of the year so far (along with some picks for the worst). This article contains just that, […]
It is amazing how things work sometimes. How To Train Your Dragon gets credit for being a sleeper success, as many were not thrilled by the marketing, but it ended up making big bucks and spawning a whole franchise (sequels, TV shows, etc.). I was actually quite intrigued by the trailers for the first film […]
While I tend to be a very impatient fellow who’s always wanting something else as fast as it can be handed to me, there are some things worth the wait. There are such things as the perfect film. Lightning can surely strike the same place twice. And for those reasons and so many more, that’s […]
It’s the reboot that seemed an interesting but dangerous venture. The original Paul Verhoven classic is damn near as perfect a movie as you can get. As unnecessary as the reboot sounded, interesting names kept popping into it. At the outset, this was a Darren Aronofsky project, but he exited. Even the eventual director Jose […]
Hero Complex is essentially a genre media-themed offshoot of the Los Angeles Times newspaper and they have been holding a film festival in Hollywood for the past few years. While the films screened are always classics from the past, this year featured a screening of How to Train Your Dragon 2. I will post a […]
Directed by José Padilha, ROBOCOP stars Joel Kinnaman, Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton, Abbie Cornish, Jackie Earle Haley and Samuel L. Jackson. In ROBOCOP, the year is 2028 and OmniCorp – the world’s leader in robot technology – sees a golden opportunity to reap billions for their company. When Alex Murphy (Joel Kinnaman) – a loving husband, father and good […]
So this is pretty cool. I have been happy to attend the Hero Complex Film Festival for the past couple years and the lineup for 2014’s fest has just been announced. For Los Angeles residents and those willing to come out for a weekend, Hero Complex will be presenting a number of very cool screenings […]
Anchor Bay’s The Art Of The Steal is another one of those movies making the Video OnDemand market even more deserving of your attention. This one even boasts a pretty impressive cast. Nobody is a “wow how’d they get them!?” kinda deal, but as a collection of people its rather enough to peak your interests […]
20th Century Fox had the biggest block of time to work with on Saturday at WonderCon and they used it to deliver presentations for four of their upcoming, big budget movies, with one surprise look at another film as well. Because of the expansive line-up of films presented, I figured it would be best to […]
Anchor Bay Entertainment and RADiUS-TWC are proud to announce the home entertainment release of Jonathan Sobol’s crime caper, THE ART OF THE STEAL. Following its world premiere at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival, RADiUS-TWC released the film theatrically on March 14th of this year. Audiences can own the clever heist film on DVD and Blu-Ray™ on May 6, […]
Going into this screening last night I was fearful of only one thing. Please God! Don’t let this be a horrible remake like 2012’s Total Recall. Despite the beauty of Kate Beckinsale in it, life is too precious and short for something of that immeasurable quality. So here we are and there’s really no way […]
On October 1st, everyone will be able to pick up a copy of one of the funniest films of the year. This Is The End is a comedy that I was very much looking forward to and it really delivered (Review HERE). The film pits James Franco, Jonah Hill, Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel, Danny McBride, […]
