It’s that not-so-dreaded time of the year where I unleash my Top 10 Blu-rays of 2012. This year I thought I’d go against the grain the best that I could and just limit myself on picking Blu-rays that actually made a statement in terms of video, audio, and special features, instead of films that were [...]
Prometheus, to me, is much like the acquired taste of beer. You may not like it the first time you try it, but the more you give it a chance, it becomes harder and harder to resist and suddenly that raunchy aftertaste becomes a thing of the past as it becomes more socially acceptable in [...]
On October 9th, Ridley Scott returns to Blu-ray in the genre he helped define so long ago in PROMETHEUS. Charlize Theron and Michael Fassbender lean an all-star cast in the epic, ambitious and bold sic-fi thriller. The Blu-ray contains over seven hours of bonus materials including an alternate opening and ending, deleted and alternate scenes [...]
It must be difficult to approach a film like this from the perspective of a filmmaker who has done previous, similar work that is now considered a classic. It must also be difficult for someone to go in and see a film like this, knowing what one knows about said classic, the filmmaker, and the [...]
If I had to rank my Top 3 “Most Anticipated” Films of 2012, Prometheus would have been a gut wrenching #4 choice. It’s not that I wasn’t really looking forward to it, but nothing will ever top my love for the Nolan’s Batman series, which I considered masterpieces, and Seth Grahame-Smith’s literary mash-up work, Abraham [...]

Actor Michael Fassbender (Inglourious Basterds) and director Steve McQueen (Hunger) have teamed up once again to bring us Shame, a tale of sexual addiction and depravity. Carrey Mulligan (Drive) joins in on the festivities. Shame is rated NC-17, the highest, or next to highest rating a Hollywood feature can get. I think X or XXX [...]
Steven Soderbergh is back with his latest indy film disguised as a big budget feature, which features an all-star cast and marks the debut of MMA female champion Gina Carano. Who’s in Haywire? Everyone. You’ve got Michael Douglas, Ewan McGregor, Antonio Banderas, Channing Tatum, Michael Fassbender, Bill Paxton, and a partridge and a pear tree. [...]
During the weekend of March 16-18, 2012, I was able to be a part of WonderCon 2012. WonderCon is normally located up in San Francisco, but this year, due to renovations taking place at the Moscone Center, WonderCon was relocated to the Anaheim Convention Center. 2012 marks the 26th anniversary of WonderCon and to kick [...]

Get your adrenaline pumping as Lionsgate releases the action-packed thrill ride Haywire on Blu-ray Disc (plus Digital Copy), DVD, Digital Download and On Demand this spring, May 1st. This non-stop adventure, directed by Oscar® winner Steven Soderbergh* and written by Lem Dobbs, introduces [...]
From visionary director Steve McQueen, one of the most talked about films of 2011 comes home to stunning Blu-ray from Fox Searchlight and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. A film festival powerhouse, SHAME has captivated viewers through its haunting depiction of the life of a sex addict and his emotionally troubled sister. Evocative performances from [...]
Once again, the month of January has actually managed to deliver some disposable fun, this time in the form of an action thriller from director Steven Soderbergh. Haywire falls into the director’s category of more mainstream, but it certainly boasts a strong cast and enough offbeat qualities to make it stand out a bit. Of [...]
I am super busy these days, but there are a certain number of films that I could not pass up when it came to checking them out on Blu-ray, at my own leisure, in the comfort of my own home. The following list is set of films that I consider to be some of the [...]
I would like to think that actor Michael Fassbender and director Steve McQueen have fun personalities when they are not on the set of their respective films. Given the intense natures of characters that Fassbender has portrayed, particularly in regards to the two films he and McQueen have collaborated on thus far, it would be [...]
So now that we have left the summer movie season behind (a recap featuring the Why So Blu crew’s top picks can be found HERE), it is time to get into the big fall releases. There are a lot of great looking releases on their way, including both “prestige” level films as well as those [...]
So the summer movie season has come to an end, but that does not mean us here at Why So Blu can’t have one last hurrah. With such an assortment of different films that came out this past summer (a particularly crowded one, which benefited from having a lot of good crowd pleasers to offer), [...]
X-Men: First Class is the official first chapter in the X-Men film universe. One could even say that the film is a reboot of sorts, but that may or may not be stretching it a bit. A very cool cast has been assembled to take on the roles of earlier character versions in this latest [...]
