The latest entertainment news and reviews in 4K UHD, Blu-ray, movies and more…
The calendar year of 2013 was a tough one for me in the film department. However, unlike my recent Top 10 Blu-ray list over here, where I struggled to even find ten Blu-rays that I really really liked in 2013 (only leaving off Cloud Atlas), I find myself faced with a smorgasbord of films that […]
2013’s highest grossing live action comedy hits Blu-ray in a release loaded with extra humor. Paul Feig follows up his smashing success Bridesmaids with another female driven comedy, this time taking on the buddy cop genre. Up until the recent opening weekend of Gravity, The Heat was Sandra Bullock’s highest grossing weekend of all time. […]
Gravity is an answer to what film can be all about. It charts a journey for a character, while presenting it in a most spectacular fashion. The amount of work that must have went into carefully crafting every aspect of this film, from the story to the tiniest visual detail that rears its head, is […]
It’s extremely difficult to walk into a movie like this when there’s so much hype and garnered praise surrounding it. I mean, it has to be good, right? Well, that’s the exact sentiment and question I carried with me into Tuesday evening’s screening of Alfonso Cuaron’s Gravity shown to all of us in 3-D IMAX. […]
This is the story of a by-the-book FBI agent teaming up with a sloppy, but dedicated Boston Police detective to take down some bad guys. They are mismatched and hate each other at first, but will have to learn to get along if they want to prove themselves to the other officers and agents. The […]
Make no mistake, I’m solely doing this review for my girlfriend. Am I not a nice guy or what? After seeing Melissa McCarthy in this year’s Identity Thief I absolutely wanted nothing to do with her ever again. I grew so tired and disgusted hearing her cuss and drop endless F-bombs for absolutely no reason […]
Cinderalla stories are not always abundant, and that even holds true for the fictional ones, brought forth from the creative mind of someone whose paper or computer is their canvas. Take Michael Lewis for instance. Here is an author who decided to write a story about a rags-to-riches scenario with a little bit of good […]
Roger Ebert recently said that he couldn’t think of an easier year to predict the Academy Award winners. Sure enough, most of the pre-show claims out there turned out to be accurate with Iraq war drama The Hurt Locker taking the most heralded prize of the evening for Best Picture. Other notables include Jeff Bridges […]
For those of you who don’t know, the Golden Raspberry Awards (aka Razzies) is an annual award ceremony held in Los Angeles to recognize the worst in film. The ceremony was founded in 1981. The award show, which took place this past weekend, looked at the worst films and performances of 2009 and surprisingly, except […]
Sandra Bullock seems to be effective in the comedic role, but why? Is it the direction she’s given? Is it the script she memorizes? Sure, one or both of those play a role in her success in these types of films, but how about her God-given comedic timing? She is truly underestimated from a critic […]
2009 was an interesting year for films. By mid-summer, I was wondering if I was going to be able to fill out this list. Hasbro made a splash with two of its most successful lines appearing in theaters. Sandra Bullock had two films surface this year. Vampires seemed to be at the turn of every […]
Upon the conclusion of 2009, some of us staff here at Why So Blu will be compiling our own unique top-ten lists of our favorite films this year. The Blind Side will be on mine. This absolutely brilliant piece of work was not from the thought factory of some Hollywood writers or producers. Instead, this […]
This one is for our editor Gregg who simply adores Sandra Bullock. The Bradley Cooper/Sandra Bullock comedy vehicle All About Steve will arrive on the Blu-ray format December 22nd courtesy of Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. In addition to the dynamic duo get ready for some laughs from the infamous Ken Jeong, who seems to […]
It’s been a long time since we last chatted! We have so much to catch up on. I’m a bit jet-lagged today from my trip back home from Los Angeles and the filming/red carpet coverage of Spike TV’s Scream 2009 this past Saturday. So let’s get started! We have a lot of Blu-ray news to […]
