“Chewie, We’re Home” New STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS Trailer Debuts At Celebration 2015!

Force Awakens Stormtrooper thumbWell, we’ve been waiting what seems like forever for this moment since it was made “official” not too long ago.  This is our second and a meatier look at STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS, the seventh film in the official Star Wars saga.  It was unveiled today at Celebration, the big time Star Wars convention.  People will clamor for “more, more” but do we need much else to sell us on what will likely be one of the biggest films of the year (And who knows, all time?).  This is an exciting year to be a Star Wars fan as new canon material continues to flow in and will step up its game even more in the fall.  For what its worth, I’m really loving the Marvel comics line covering a lot of ground between Star Wars and The Empire Strikes back.  Anywho, lets get to this darn trailer.  Click and watch it a billion times today.  Just make sure you’re continually coming back to Why So Blu when you do so!

JUPITER ASCENDING Ascends To Blu-ray June 2nd!

Jupiter-AscendingJupiter Ascending is likely the most polarizing film of 2015’s first quarter.  Nobody went to see it and a lot of those that did, didn’t really care for it.  Personally, as a fan of the Wachowskis, it was one I was anticipating regardless of whether or not it was delayed.  Was it a good or great film?  No, not really and its admittedly a bit of a mess.  There was plenty to behold in it and appreciate, and it does entertain (I particular dug Drew McWeeny’s review of it over at HitFix).  For me, I’d rather take the ambitious/noble failure and film that just goes for it over something mediocre, safe or average any day of the week.  I’ll remember and take with me things both good and bad from Jupiter Ascending while forgetting films of the other ilk.  Jordan Grout had the best defense of this science fiction extravaganza when it came out stating “How can this movie be the worst?  It has freaking dinosaurs flying spaceships!”  Its coming to Blu-ray where I’m sure more will peak their curiosity and it will either continue to be hated or find itself the beginning of cult status.  We’ll see.  For now, check out the release announcement and details by scrolling down below.
