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 man who befriends a robot, which leads into a film that ends up being a drama, a buddy comedy, and a heist film all in one. The result is a charming feature that is both sly and heartfelt. There may not be much more to this film that adds further dimension to this world or social commentary in any way, beyond the basic themes and concepts, but is still an enjoyable and well-made film, nonetheless.

Every week sees the release of a few new trailers. This week has provided trailers for two heavily anticipated films of the fall. While Why So Blu only posts about trailers every so often, we are probably the only site to put up a post that has both the latest trailer Disney’s Wreck It Ralph AND Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln for no real reason other than that the fact that it’s a wacky combo. Both are films that I know that I am personally looking forward to, because I have both an interest in history (it was my major) and am a huge video game geek. Continue on to see the trailers for both of these films, along with information about each, and their most current posters. Now Updated with More New Wreck-It Ralph Posters.

I don’t know what it is about the Blu-ray format, but when you just get through bashing a film over the weekend, and then the Blu-ray arrives at your doorstep, it’s like a cool breeze blows over you and you forget past transgressions. This is almost what happened with the REC 3: Genesis Blu-ray that arrived today from the UK. I popped in the Blu-ray and almost forgot how forgettable it was when I first watched it last month via VOD. This past weekend I was a guest on Out Now with Aaron and Abe (our very own Aaron Neuwirth’s podcast) and we all spoke in great length about this latest installment in the REC series in addition to the previous films. I don’t think I liked it any less than I originally did, but the Blu-ray as a whole is a totally different beast altogether. That brings me to our review of the Blu-ray. I will be re-printing my previous thoughts on the film itself in the “Film” portion of this review, with the technical specifications, extras, and summary being all new content. Let’s get it started then. Continue reading ‘REC 3: Genesis (Blu-ray Review UK Import)’
