Don’t Breathe is one of those titles that lives up to its name. Let me tell you why. I can kid about this now because I’m out of the screening. We had the luxury of seeing a private screening of Don’t Breathe at the Alamo Drafthouse. What do you do when you’re at an Alamo […]
Stripped down to the basics, Don’t Breathe is a mean and lean thriller, focused entirely on things literally going bump in the night. Director Fede Alvarez follows up his solid Evil Dead remake with a frightful home invasion tale where the home owner quickly turns the tables on the robbers. The results allow for edge-of-your-seat […]

With more than 5 hours of bonus content, including over 2 hours of new interviews, this greatly anticipated release is a must-have for fans. Tom Noonan (Heat, Robocop 2), Joan […]

There is only so much to say about movies like In The Blood. It is a thriller that had minimal exposure upon its initial release and will live in the realm of streaming and cheap Blu-ray bins. That said, as far as these fairly straight-forward action vehicles for lower-profile stars and fun character actors go, […]
While some of us at Why So Blu are concerned whether or not MMA fighter Gina Carano can be considered an actress (I personally felt she was fine in Haywire), she has another starring role to prove herself in with In The Blood. Here are some official words about it: Gina Carano stars as Ava, a […]

Twisting and turning its way onto Blu-ray is Anchor Bay’s Pawn. It’s a film that lives on the plot twist, double cross and connectivity between characters. With so many new revelations and turns through the film’s runtime, this film should be a mess. However, it’s not clumsily handled, not expertly either, but well enough to […]
One year ago, dirty cop Detective Callahan (Stephen Dorff) was shot in a drug bust gone wrong, and saved by an anonymous stranger who gave him a second chance to clean up his life. But when the stranger finally comes forward, seeking revenge against the men responsible for a string of assaults on young women […]

Avatar is finally available for all of those who wanted to purchase a 3D version of the film. James Cameron’s groundbreaking film has obviously had an effect on how people now view movies (for better or worse), given the onslaught of 3D releases, but now anyone with the proper capabilities will be able to experience […]

Years before Hannibal Lector was to grace us in three (four, if you include Hannibal Rising), Michael Mann had already introduced us to the Lecter-verse. That film was called Manhunter. Most people didn’t even realize that, including yours truly, mainly due to the fact that Hannibal Lecter was not played by Anthony Hopkins in Mann’s […]
Conan the Barbarian gives the viewer everything that they would be expecting…if they did not have their expectations very high. The movie has plenty of macho ridiculousness and is filled to the brim with violence and CG blood and gore. It is not a good movie by any means, but I did laugh a lot. […]
Re-edited from beginning to end with one hour of new footage added, including expanded scenes and an added subplot, this all-new 2-Disc Extended Director’s Cut – a prequel to Maxwell’s companion film, Gettysburg– restores his original vision of the fierce allegiances and combat during the early American Civil War.
