I’m very entertained by the casting of this movie. It has Keanu Reeves, Vera Farmiga, and James Caan. I missed it when it came out in limited release, but now we’ll all have a chance to see
Henry’s Crime. On August 23rd, this film will be released onto Blu-ray and DVD. It is about a wrongly accused man ending up in jail only to decide to actually commit his so-called crime once he is released. Complications of course ensue, once a woman gets involved in his life, during his planning. It sounds intriguing enough and it will be a nice break to see Reeves not saving the world and participating in a romantic/crime comedy instead. And James Caan is always reliable when it comes to some supporting fun. We can all soon see how much fun this August. Check out more details below!

It has been a solid year so far for original, R-rated comedies. While not every film has been a homerun, I do enjoy the fact that we are being treated to a lot of good, raunchy fun, as opposed to watered-down versions of films followed by the inevitable “unrated” edition 3-4 months later. Horrible Bosses joins in on the fun, becoming one of the best-casted comedies so far this year. Often times you have too many great elements in one project and it can become a mess, but what a film like this certainly benefits from is having a great cast, with the three leads making the best of their great chemistry together.

I have a confession to make. I’ve owned several versions of Das Boot (The Boat) throughout the years. I used to own the director’s cut DVD which ran 209 minutes long. I even owned the full original uncut version that ran for an even longer 293 minutes on DVD. Yes, you can say I was a very dedicated fellow when it came to all things Boot. Well, this being Blu-ray and all, it was time to get back on…Das Boot again. This newly remastered high definition edition of the WWII German film is finally available for all those poor souls who have never journeyed to the bottom of the sea while hell was raining down on them from above…. pretty dramatic, huh? Take a journey with me to the bottom of the sea if you dare. Continue reading ‘Das Boot (Blu-ray Review)’

Let me start out by saying that I am a secret fan of Kevin James. I liked him in King of Queens on TV, in his movie roles such as Hitch, Paul Blart: Mall Cop, Grown-ups, The Dilemma and so on. I’m not saying these titles are fantastic, but I didn’t feel like my skin was being peeled off either. I don’t mean to say James is a master thespian by any means, just a regular guy, an anti-Hollywood type, if you get my meaning. He’s not the first person you think of for leading man roles, etc…, but I like him anyways. Maybe it’s because I can relate to him in his appearance (some say we look like brothers! – ha!), or his character’s shyness covered by his loud comedic joking, or just that he’s everyman… whatever… but in the movie ZOOKEEPER even I am having a hard time with Mr. James. Let me explain… Continue reading ‘‘ZOOKEEPER’ is Kevin James + Talking Animals + Famous Voices + Family Rating = DUD!’

I was very curious about Rango when it hit theaters, but for whatever reason, I was not able to catch it on the big screen. People kept telling me that since I’m a big western film buff that I would love it, because it in fact IS a western. So far, so good! The theatrical poster would tell you otherwise, because it’s just a chameleon holding a big orange fish. Buzzkill. I don’t care about that. Then I started to read who was involved in the project. Johnny Depp, Bill Nighy, Harry Dean Stanton, Alfred Molina, Ray Winstone, Timothy Olyphant, etc… Hey, these are all people I like! My curiosity got the best of me and so the Blu-ray Gods gifted me with reviewing Rango on Blu-ray. This is an early review, so let’s go! Continue reading ‘Rango (Blu-ray Review)’

There are a total of five people in my life that when the opportunity arises that I can talk to them openly and candidly I don’t even bat an eye or think one second about it. I literally drop everything I am doing and feverishly indulge. You see, when it comes to these five people, this inquiring mind has a lot to learn from them so I fine-tune my questions and I listen sternly. Thankfully, actress Emily Kaye is one of these people I am referring to. You want to know the other four, don’t you? Really? Alright. You practically forced it out of me anyway. They are Rob Zombie, Adam Green, Jesse Dayton and Danielle Harris. Are you happy now? So the real reason, once again, that we are gathered here today is to shine that bright proverbial spotlight on an actress people will be seeing a lot of very soon.

We have all had “horrible bosses” at one point or another during our career, haven’t we? Well I guess I should probably be addressing the 30-something year old crowd, but I truly think this topic transcends the ages, if you ask me. And why wouldn’t you? I’m kind of the authority around here, am I not? God! I dislike pompous people. That’s why I’m going to start this review all over again. Are you ready? Good! Let’s go! Good day ladies and gentlemen. Today we are gathered to talk about the all too familiar topic of “horrible bosses,” oops…I mean the film Horrible Bosses. That was better, huh?

The exquisite Audrey Hepburn stars as the free-spirited Holly Golightly in the unforgettable masterpiece BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY’S, celebrating its 50th anniversary this year and debuting on Blu-ray September 20, 2011 from Paramount Home Entertainment.

In director Blake Edwards’ timeless classic, Hepburn’s intoxicating New York party girl embarks on a wildly entertaining, comedic adventure to find love in the big city.

Filled with electrifying dancing, memorable music and timeless spirit, the contagious celebration of youth FOOTLOOSE arrives on Blu-ray for the first time ever and in a new Deluxe Edition DVD, both featuring more than 30 minutes of all-new special features, on September 27, 2011 from Paramount Home Entertainment. In this beloved fable about teen exuberance overcoming rigid, misplaced morality, Kevin Bacon lights up the screen as city-boy Ren, an outsider who finds himself in an uptight Midwestern town where dancing has been banned. The film’s sensational soundtrack spawned two #1 hits: “Let’s Hear It For The Boy”, and, of course, Kenny Loggins’ rocking anthem “Footloose”, along with enduring classics such as “Dancing In The Sheets”, “Holding Out For A Hero”, “I’m Free (Heaven Helps The Man)” and the love theme “Almost Paradise”. FOOTLOOSE also stars John Lithgow, Dianne Wiest, Sarah Jessica Parker, Lori Singer and Chris Penn. Continue reading ‘Get Your Groove On With ‘Footloose’ on Blu-ray, September 27th’

It has been quite a while since I’ve actually seen a film with one of my favorite actresses in it. When I got word that I would be reviewing Ceremony on Blu-ray for Why So Blu, I was pretty excited, if only for justice. I didn’t know what Ceremony was about, or who else was in it. It was just Uma! I’m easily amused. The cover art gives it that chick-flick kind of appearance, but I can honestly tell you that it is not a chick-flick in the traditional sense. In fact, even in the traditional sense, I wouldn’t classify Ceremony as a chick-flick either. Blame it on whoever created the photoshopped artwork, I guess. Anyways, enough about that, let’s get to the review! Continue reading ‘Ceremony (Blu-ray Review)’

In Italy, it was considered the ‘unofficial sequel’ to DAWN OF THE DEAD. In England, it was known as ZOMBIE FLESH EATERS and banned as obscene. In America, it was called ZOMBIE and advertised with the depraved tag line “WE ARE GOING TO EAT YOU!” Tisa Farrow (THE GRIM REAPER), Ian McCulloch (CONTAMINATION), Al Cliver (CANNIBALS), and Richard Johnson (THE HAUNTING) star in this worldwide splatter sensation directed by ‘Maestro Of Gore’ Lucio Fulci (CITY OF THE LIVING DEAD, THE HOUSE BY THE CEMETERY) that remains one of the most eye-skewering, skin-ripping, gore-gushingly graphic horror hits of all time!

Easily one of the most anticipated films due out this summer is none other than Cowboys & Aliens, starring Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford. Also appearing in this awesome marriage of old west and sci-fi is none other than Brendan Wayne. Wayne, who is quickly tallying the westerns on his resume’, spoke candidly about his work on the film in addition to his other projects, life outside of movies and the history of acting in his family, including grandfather John Wayne. Unfortunately, a thunderstorm on my end wreaked havoc during the first few seconds of the interview, so you’ll notice an abrupt beginning. Nevertheless, Brendan saved the day dishing out his experiences on the upcoming blockbuster and other interesting avenues. Continue reading ‘Interview with Actor Brendan Wayne – ‘Cowboys & Aliens’’

While watching various Magnolia and Magnet releases they would always show a preview of a tire that killed a bird using it’s telekinetic powers. I always dismissed it, because it really didn’t say anything. It was amusing, but never caught my attention. As all of these conventions started to come to my area, and fellow staff member Aaron Neuwirth reviewed its theatrical release, I became kind of curious. I loved the poster artwork. It was pretty stylish and outrageous. Then the Blu-ray came in the mail and I got antsy. How would I go about reviewing a Blu-ray whose main star is a killer rubber tire with destructive mind powers? I’ve done my best in trying to explain and review Rubber in the following article. Enter at your own risk. Continue reading ‘Rubber (Blu-ray Review)’
