January 16th, 2015 by Aaron Neuwirth
With 9 Academy Award nominations and the love from many, including many of us at Why So Blu, this announcement of the Wes Anderson’s acclaimed film, The Grand Budapest Hotel, heading back to theaters is a very happy one to report. You can read our Top Ten lists or check out my review of the Blu-ray HERE, but be aware that this film is a ton of fun, very well put together all around, and should definitely be seen on the big screen, given the presence of other contenders currently in theaters as well. Read the full press release for this re-release of the film in the rest of this post.

Wow! What can really be said about this title? I have to be careful as I don’t want any terrorists ransacking my place or else it’s on like Rambo: First Blood! So I have to choose my words very carefully as I tip toe around egg shells on the very delicate divide of what has become of one of the controversial films of all time. That’s right ladies and gentlemen. If you weren’t paying attention to the title of this post or lead-in image, we’re talking The Interview, making its Blu-ray and DVD debut on February 17th. The collectible version of this Blu-ray is loaded with 90 minutes of bonus features, deleted scenes, a gag reel and more. Check it all out below!

There are two things I’ve always been clamoring for on Blu-ray; more Blaxploitation films and more Pam Grier. Which, yeah a lot of that is one in the same. And this new release from Scream Factory covers both! Yes, I’m very aware of the title, but note that these were different times and the Blaxploitation era was all about taking things and making it their own. You’d find many a spin on titles like this. There was even Blackenstein. These Blacula movies are somewhat a relic of another time, but I also find them to be plenty enough of a campy hoot to enjoy. A fun trivia fact, Blacula himself is also the King of Cartoons from Pee-wee’s Playhouse (The guy from the second season onward). This double feature (awesome) will be out March 3rd, and here’s the details below! 
Long requested by fans, the coming-of-age family favorites MY GIRL and TROOP BEVERLY HILLS will finally be available for the first time on Blu-ray™ Mar. 17 from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.

Each film also includes all-new bonus features and Digital HD with UltraViolet.
The past three years, consistently in the horror world, we’ve been anticipating a film in the V/H/S series. Done in the classic horror anthology mode, but using the modern “found footage” aesthetic, the first film was a neat experiment that went pretty hit or miss. Last years’ followup was seen as a consensus improvement. It also contained a segment that had one of the most horrifying and disturbing horror stories I had seen in a long time. I’m eager to see what they are considering the finale, which is the Blu-ray information we have for you today. Pre-order is also available now, too, so click the Amazon link at the bottom to nab yourself a copy.

Here’s something I stumbled across and read today. I could not contain my excitement over it and I just had to get the good news out to all our readers here. Horror sensation Rob Zombie is going to release a new live album, Spookshow International Live. Hell yeah! It was previously announced on his Facebook page where Rob goes on record saying: “It’s been 8 years since our last live album so we figured it was time for another. Actually we weren’t planning on it, but we recorded a few shows and they sounded really great so we thought “f#*k it” let’s get it out there.” The T-Boy Records album will feature 19 tracks, including fan favorites such as “Thunderkiss ’65,” “Dragula” and “Living Dead Girl” as well as live renditions of tracks from Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor and a cover of The Ramones “Blitzkrieg Bop.
