A Bad Moms Christmas is an odd one for me to be reviewing here on the site. It’s not because it’s a female centric film, but because I was so opposed to the first one. For some reason I wanted absolutely nothing to do with it. However, one boring Austin, TX afternoon I was able to pick Bad […]

I remember seeing trailers for Snitch like crazy during The Walking Dead on Sunday nights like crazy. Why? It had series star Jon Bernthal in the movie (Who was very popular when he was on the show). So, I guess they were hoping that would get people out to see it? But, lets not fool […]

Eight times may be the charm for big budget flicks this week, but on the indie scene five seems to be the magic number. (There’s more of course, but hey I’m only one man!) Auteurs examined and explained, the great lengths some go to for their kids, dealing with death, organ donation from both sides […]

Original and audacious. Contemporary and classic.

If there is one film that deservingly has the right and proudly should be able to give the middle finger write at box office pundits (that don’t write for Forbes), its Tammy. This $20 million budgeted “one for me” film opening with a good $21 million opening weekend over 4th of July and because it […]

Coming of age comedies are something I can find myself being a sucker for if they can get the right in or hook for me. As I grow older, it becomes more of a challenge to understand today’s youth because I’m not one of them and I don’t know what’s hip with the kids. I must […]

It is unfortunate that Tammy does not quite work overall. Here we have a character-based, R-rated comedy, featuring a large number of female characters, with ideas that extend beyond big-budgeted set pieces, and it is arriving in theaters just in time for the Fourth of July. Melissa McCarthy fans may certainly enjoy the opportunity given […]

Although we kind of fell out of touch a few years back, I still consider him my dear friend in the movie business who I strive and emulate to be one day and of course look up to. The man I’m talking about is the man of the hour here, Marcus Dean Fuller. You may […]

Ever see something so confusing that looks so mind-bending that you just had to see it with your own eyes despite what your better judgment and gut told you? Well, that’s exactly how I felt about Cloud Atlas and its many bizarre, but very bold and ambitious trailers out there. Much like the story within […]

Sometimes it all just boils down to something as simple as a man and his robot. Robot & Frank is a very low key story that takes a simple sci-fi premise and manages to pull off something pretty affecting. It features a wonderful lead performance from Frank Langella, who is tasked with playing an elderly […]

I just realized it that it may be pseudo-comedy week here on Why So Blu – we’ve been dropping them like they were hot all week long and we’re not done yet. Up next we’ve got The Duplass Bros. sleeper comedy Jeff, Who Lives At Home starring the cry-baby from Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Jason Segel […]

Have you ever wondered where your family came from? Or whether or not there were any scoundrels or perhaps royalty in your bloodline? I know I have and that’s why I wanted to review this. The shows format is simple: get some famous people and have some genealogists help them track down their historical relatives. […]

Thelma and Louise celebrates its 20th Anniversary with this release and it still resonates with a lot of people to this day. The movie became something of an anthem for female empowerment and triggered many discussions and disagreements once released. The concept of two women becoming fugitives due to poor judgement and circumstances was radical at […]
