The latest entertainment news and reviews in 4K UHD, Blu-ray, movies and more…
Well, the plan to release this teaser during ABC’s Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. did not pan out the way it was intended, but regardless, here it is, the first full length teaser trailer for the upcoming Marvel epic, Avengers: Age of Ultron. Those who attended Comic Con will recognize some similarities to the footage presented […]
In the premise for Lucy, Scarlett Johansson’s character is forced to deliver a package implanted inside of her, only to gain unique abilities after the package is ruptured. I am sure some kind of variation of that description is what got writer/director Luc Besson the means to make this film as a big studio movie, […]
I’m not sure what happened, but sometime circa the Black Widow’s entrance into the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Iron Man 2 and later on in movies such as Don Jon and most recently Under the Skin (my full Blu-ray reviews of those two titles can be found here and here) I have become a HUGE fan of […]
So going into this Blu-ray review of Under The Skin I knew the following four pieces of intelligence: Scarlett Johansson is an alien, she gets naked in this, the film’s a little out there with its wild imagery and my peers here at Why So Blu absolutely love it. Armed with that knowledge how bad can this really […]
It does not take a whole lot for a film to win me over if it has a lot of charm. Get the right cast and allow them to have fun that is evident in the film and I will be happy to sit back and enjoy what has been put in front of me. […]
Can this day get any better?! Not only am I off from my day job today (first time since last November), one of my best friends is coming into town, Aaron Neuwirth’s birthday bonanza is today, I finally got antibiotics after suffering for six weeks (I found out I’m seriously allergic to Austin and the […]
Truth be told, had I been living among the stars and privileged in life last year in Los Angeles, Her would have been my #2 film of 2013 easily knocking down The Wolf of Wall Street here. Oh no! The cat’s out of the bag over how much I love this film! Now don’t fret! […]
With the panel for the upcoming EuropaCorp-produced, Universal Studios-distributed film Lucy, starring Scarlett Johansson, I believe I found myself more intrigued by the fact that writer/director Luc Besson (La Femme Nikita, Leon, The Fifth Element) would be at WonderCon, rather than being psyched about the film itself. That said, the trailer premiered a few weeks […]
As stated in the previous post, the 15th Annual Newport Beach Film Festival is coming soon (opening night is April 24th) and there will be many films and festivities I plan to see and be a part of. This post contains the official press release concerning the closing night film, which I am very excited […]
Captain America really has his work cut out for him. Along with being a man who now lives in modern times after being frozen for several decades, he is also an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. performing intense field work, a devotee to untangling a web of international conspiracies if it means keeping his country safe, and […]
With Captain America: The Winter Soldier opening in wide release and Under the Skin opening in limited release this weekend, it seemed only fitting to continue providing coverage surrounding all things related to Scarlett Johansson; and while Why So Blu’s Brandon Peters continues his very detailed log regarding her pregnancy, I am simply posting the […]
Let’s be honest with each other. Both Marvel and DC have their hands filled with tackling tricky properties on the big screen and showing off big, bold and ambitious new worlds to us all. You would think on paper Captain America would be an easy property to formulaically develop proper, but you’d be wrong. Captain […]
More clips and promos arrive to torture those of us who can’t see THE WINTER SOLDIER until next weekend. They’re down below. I’m not going to view them, as I’d like to be as clear headed going in as can be (just the way I am). But, you’re more than welcome to check these out. […]
Two weeks! That’s all we got until THE WINTER SOLDIER finally is here! So, in the meantime here’s a new TV spot and the IMAX run of posters which are SUPER DUPER awesome. The Winter Soldier opens nationwide on April 4th. I’m pretty sure you should probably be getting your tickets now as its the […]
Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has finally announced the Blu-ray release of writer/director Spike Jonze’s award-winning Her, which stars Joaquin Phoenix, Amy Adams, Rooney Mara, Chris Pratt, Olivia Wilde and the sexy, seductive voice of Scarlett Johansson. The romantic science fiction drama was nominated for five Academy Awards (including Best Picture) and won Best Original Screenplay. Oh […]
Like us fanboys needed yet another reason to salivate over next month’s Avengers series release of Captain America: The Winter Soldier? Heck no we didn’t! But any new footage is welcomed and extremely appreciated! So yeah…this one just came across my desk from Disney and I wanted to share this 60-second new TV spot that […]
I generally save the trailer posts for more high profile films, but Under The Skin seems very intriguing to me. The film first caught my attention during its run at various film festivals last year, where I kept hearing about the film and its lead performance from Scarlett Johansson. Some comparisons to Kubrick were being […]
It was a big year, but somehow I managed to put together a list of my favorite films of 2013. I have to say that this was once again not the easiest list to put together. Theatrically, I have seen 150+ films this year, so there were a lot of films to consider and figure […]
