The Nice Guys (Blu-ray Review)

The Nice Guys Box Art 1As a writer, Shane Black made a name for himself by scripting many successful mismatched buddy movies. Over time and after stepping into the director’s chair, Black has more evidently become a master of going against what’s expected to the tune of comedic and often times violent irony. The Nice Guys is a perfect embodiment of what we have come to expect from him and it only helps that this comedic caper is plenty clever and entertaining in weaving its silly detective tale. Sadly, the film did not catch on as strong at the box office as it did critically, but you can now seek the film out on Blu-ray.

Maggie’s Plan (Blu-ray Review)

maggie's plan coverMaggie’s Plan is a modern screwball romantic comedy that deals with another neurotic Greta Gerwig character. Gerwig is the central character of the film and this comedy directed and written by Rebecca Miller certainly wants you to invest in her. It plays as a film about intellectuals, but does nothing but show how incapable these people are at being great at relationships. That said it features a terrific supporting cast including Ethan Hawke, Julianne Moore, Bill Hader, Maya Rudolph and Travis Fimmel. Now the film is on Blu-ray for people curious about this plan of Maggie’s.

Forgotten Friday Flick – “The Bonfire Of The Vanities”

Forgotten Friday FlickThis week in our continued Friday dissection of past De Palma ditties I’m heading down a controversial road with a film that even the man himself has distanced himself from – welcome to Forgotten Friday Flick!  Destined to be one of the most discussed and disagreed with selections to date (it was after all nominated for five prestigious Razzie Awards!), my choice this week is a film I (and my movie loving father!) consider to be one of the most notable in the areas of black comedy.  Though short on signature style, there’s a distinctively devious and delicious over-the-top humor that cannot be ignored.  And for those who claim “it’s not like the book” remember this is a movie – a movie called…The Bonfire of the Vanities.

The Walking Dead: The Complete Sixth Season (Blu-ray Review)

BD64066orn-walking-dead-s6-3dAnchor Bay Entertainment is proud to present another season of The Walking Dead on Blu-ray. The hit zombie-drama series has been previously reviewed by Why So Blu’s Brian White (seasons 123, 4 and 5), but he has handed the duty over to me this time around. Fortunately for me, season six offered plenty of big shakeups for the series, complete with big twists, cliffhangers, controversy and at least one of the series’ best episodes. Now you can dig in to see just how well this Blu-ray set stacks up.

KISS Rocks Vegas (Blu-ray Review)

KISS Rocks Vegas Blu-ray ReviewOh yeah!  You can almost hear the fire-breathing front man, Gene “The Demon” Simmons, scream watch this once-in-a-lifetime event on the Blu-ray format.  And who am I to argue with his wisdom?  I’m a nobody in regards to Mr. Simmons, but one thing you can’t question is my undying discipleship to the legendary, finally in the Rock Hall of Fame, rock band KISS.  They have been like a religion in my life and my coverage of certain KISS related events here, here and here are a testament to my love and affinity to the four guys despite all the lineup shakeups over the year making them a resilient and indestructible force of nature).  And the following Blu-ray review here is no exception to the matter.  However, I am sad I missed out on all of this in 2014.  I was really hoping that KISS would of brought their residency back to The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, but wish in one hand and you know what in the other.  Even though I missed it all, I have to look on the bright side of things.  I have one hell of a rock and roll souvenir now with Eagle Rock Entertainment’s KISS Rocks Vegas on Blu-ray.
