Does star power still carry weight these days? The movie theater world is dominated by fast-paced, epic-length superhero fare. Comedies are almost non-existent, and even worse, romantic comedies, once a source of great box office strength, are like the cinematic dinosaur. What’s sad, is that these movies were often enduring, sweet, and easy to revisit. […]
Escape to tropical paradise with two of the world’s most celebrated and beloved movie stars. Academy Award® winners Julia Roberts (Pretty Woman, My Best Friend’s Wedding) and George Clooney (Ocean’s Franchise, Good Night, and Good Luck.) charm in the hilariously sharp and sweet comedy TICKET TO PARADISE, available to own with laugh-out-loud bonus content on Digital […]
Universal’s big-screen adaption of the Broadway musical, Dear Evan Hansen opened at this year’s Toronto International Film Fest earlier this month. The reception was mixed, to say the least. Then again, the studio’s last foray into song and dance was 2019’s disappointing Cats, so “mixed” is definitely a step up, right? The story concerns a […]
2019 was an interesting year for me. I had a great dream realized that I thought would only happen in the form of Amazon or iTunes reviews — I was invited to write about movies here at WhySoBlu. This exceptional opportunity has afforded me the privilege to share with you my passion for film as […]
While strong internet buzz may not have translated into a massive hit, here’s a coming-of-age comedy that stands out. I’m not sure if there’s a constant search for a new favorite high school movie for each generation, but Booksmart could comfortably sit on the same tier as Lady Bird and The Edge of Seventeen. This […]
Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment presents BOOKSMART, arriving on Digital August 20 and Blu-ray and DVD September 3. In this fresh, unfiltered modern comedy, best friends and academic overachievers Amy (Kaitlyn Dever) and Molly (Beanie Feldstein) realize they’ve missed out on pretty much all fun during high school. So, on the eve of graduation, they […]
After failing to make a more significant impact this past summer, Detroit is now available on Blu-ray. Working as a war film, a hostage thriller, a horror film and a searing commentary all rolled into one, director Kathryn Bigelow isn’t here to hold hands and make false assurances. Detroit is an angry film that once […]
In a summer that’s already thrown us into war and pulled us out feeling optimistic enough with Dunkirk, Detroit has now come along to fuel a different, more complicated fire. Working as a war film, a hostage thriller, a horror film and a searing commentary all rolled into one, director Kathryn Bigelow isn’t here to […]
Laggies is a mix of typical rom-com material with typical coming-of-age story material fit inside of the shell of an indie comedy. However, this ‘indie’ effort from director Lynn Shelton has far more mainstream appeal than her previous features, Humpday and Your Sister’s Sister, given the presence of big Hollywood actors Keira Knightley, Chloe Grace […]
Here is the kind of dramatic indie feature that I can happily support, as it manages to hit a lot of familiar beats, while taking some steps in different directions from the norm. The film features a strong lead performance by Brie Larson, solid support from both the adult and younger actors involved, and this […]

It does not hurt that it is currently up for many different critics and film group awards, with maybe some chances at Oscar, but we will see. Regardless, […]
