It’s that time of the year. What a glorious time it is! The excitement’s practically in the air! Can you smell it yet? The spotlight is once again on one of the most beautiful cities in the United States, San Diego, CA! Like that Beastie Boys’ song, “No Sleep Till Brooklyn,” the same can be said for your experience at Comic-Con International, the largest annual gathering of geeks like me in the world. How sweet it is! Movie stars, comic artists, cosplay, vendors, movie studios, exclusives and so much more all vying for your attention and awaiting you for five mind blowing days! I have been going to Comic-Con ever since 2009 and each year it keeps getting bigger and better. However, that doesn’t mean it gets less chaotic at all, quite the contrary. Every year it seems more crowded and packed, and if you want to see anything in Hall H, at least Thursday through Saturday, be prepared to camp out overnight. For these reasons and more I put together some tips below culled from my personal experiences that will hopefully get fellow Con goers this year the maximum bang for their buck. Good luck! 
Alright so here’s some big news that just came across my desktop in the past hour. The next adventure in the Anthology series of Star Wars films will be directed by Christopher Miller and Phil Lord, whose credits include the critically acclaimed The LEGO Movie, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, 21 Jump Street and 22 Jump Street. Among the most sought-after filmmakers working today, the two have proven a formidable duo in film and television and are looking forward to applying their unique sensibilities to the Star Wars Universe. While I’m not overly excited for a Han Solo “solo” film, I am at the possibility of what fun Miller and Lord will make with this project. So bring it on and let the good times roll! Check out the rest of the press release down below.

They bill Arnold Schwarzenegger as being back, better than ever in the post-apocalyptic story, Maggie, arriving on Blu-ray July 7th from Lionsgate Home Entertainment. What do you think of that statement? Do you believe there is any validity to that? I don’t know about you, but that’s why I was most curious to tackle this one. Sure it will be interesting to see Arnold outside his action/comedy comfort zone, but I was also curious as to whether or not this tale was any good or does it exist simply trying to capitalize off the recent popularity and craze of zombies, much like vampires were years ago. However, the real Debbie Downer in all of this was I had to wait so long to find all this out. Sure I could have easily taken the VOD approach several months ago, but I didn’t want to. I wanted my first time to be special. I wanted it to be on the Blu-ray format. And that ladies and gentlemen is why we’re all here today. I present to you Maggie on Blu-ray.

This past March I had the pleasure of visiting Los Angeles after not being in that beloved city for over two years. Absence truly made my heart grow fonder, but it did not do anything for the ridiculous traffic out there. Anyway, one of my most fondest memories from that recent trip was taking Why So Blu Staff writer Gerard Iribe on a date (he put me up so it was the least I could do) to see It Follows. I was blown away by it. As soon as the credits rolled I turned to Gerard and said was that old school John Carpenter Halloween style or what. He whole-heartedly agreed! We then ate a vegetarian dinner afterwards, but I choose to digress here about all of that. So here’s the real deal. It Follows, the critically acclaimed breakout movie of the year, arrives on on Blu-ray July 14th from Anchor Bay Home Entertainment and I got y’all covered down below.

One of the most talked-about films of the 2011 Fantasia Film Festival, Raffaele Picchio’s MORITURIS quickly became controversial for its scenes of extreme horror, which got the film banned in in its home country of Italy. But over the years its reputation has grown into that of a new Italian horror classic, reminiscent of the works of Lamberto Bava (DEMONS) and Lucio Fulci (ZOMBIE). Now, American audiences can see it for themselves in eye-popping High Definition from Synapse Films!
