Lost Boys: The Thirst Official Trailer

Wow!  I never saw this one coming.  I know they set it up in the deleted scenes of the 2nd Lost Boys film, but with the untimely death of Corey Haim, I never thought a third film would ever come to fruition, not to mention so quickly.  Well folks get ready for some more vampire slashing.  The official trailer for the third film in the franchise, Lost Boys: The Thirst, hit You Tube a little over a week ago.  I’m just now catching wind of it.  The synopsis and full length trailer are posted below.  Enjoy!

Cage Stars & The Rise of MMA

If you told me that mixed martial arts (MMA) fighting was the fastest growing sport around, I’d be hard-pressed to disagree with you.  There is no denying the impression MMA has left on the public not just in the States, but around the world.  The competitors come from around the globe to match not only their strength, but their wits against their fellow fighters.  With personalities such as the Shamrock brothers, Chuck Liddell, and current powerhouse Anderson Silva, the landscape features an array of fighters from all weight classes, each with their unique arsenal of fighting styles.

‘The Killer Inside Me’ Sneaks Out This June!

It’s been a long time since the beautiful Jessica Alba has graced me with her presence on the silver screen.  Gerard is rolling his eyes at me right now.  Valentine’s Day just doesn’t count.  Well anyway, SHE’S BACK!  Better than ever?  Well, I’m counting down the days until June 18th to find out for myself.  If you have been following media news as of late, then you would know that there is a lot of buzz and controversy surrounding her newest film The Killer Inside Me.  Supposedly Mr. Casey Affleck does a real number on her.

Get Him to the Greek …and You to the Theater!

With the Blackhawks throwing away game 3 in the Stanley Cup Finals, and also game 4 as I write this, I needed a definite pick-me-up this week.  MacGruber was recommended to me by a co-worker a few days ago, but honestly, I cannot bring myself to anything more than a rental for that film.  Was I doomed to an anti-laughing purgatory to start off the month of June?  I did notice some film called Get Him to the Greek was coming out on June 4th, which slightly diverted my interest. Continue reading ‘Get Him to the Greek …and You to the Theater!’

Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley ‘Splice’ Things Up!

And I thought I had seen it all… Ah, Splice, words can’t even describe the disturbing visions I still have floating around in my head.  Is that a good thing or a bad thing?  I’m not sure yet.  I guess I need to let Tuesday night’s viewing experience sink in some more, cultivate and see what I think about in a few weeks as my mind continually digests what I witnessed on the silver screen.  It’s actually hard to talk about here too. Continue reading ‘Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley ‘Splice’ Things Up!’

Power Kids (Blu-ray Review)

When Brian asked me to review this movie, I had never heard of it and I wasn’t even sure if it was an animated movie or live action.  When it arrived in the mail I saw that it was produced by Prachya Pinkaew, who brought us Ong Bak and The Protector starring the great Tony Jaa (who has now retired from movies to become a monk), so my interest in it increased.  That is, until I watched it. Continue reading ‘Power Kids (Blu-ray Review)’

The Runaways Escape on Blu-ray This July!

There are so many movies I missed at the theaters lately and this is another one of them.  The Runaways, starring Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning, retells the pop-punk phenomenon of Joan Jett and her famous girl group of musicians as they exploded on the Los Angeles music scene back in the mid-70’s.  The main reason I want to see it though is for my main girl, Scout Taylor-Compton, who portrays the legendary rock goddess Lita Ford.

Predator: Ultimate Hunter Edition Targets Blu-ray

There’s no doubt that this newest Predator Blu-ray release is a plug for the upcoming Predators movie this summer (July 9th).  But when we are talking about a movie as cool as Predator, it’s easy to be forgiving on the studio trying to capitalize off the name.  Predator: Ultimate Hunter Edition arrives on Blu-ray this June 29th from Twentieth Century Fox with a brand new remastered video transfer, extra goodies not included in the original Blu-ray release and $10 Movie Money for Predators. Continue reading ‘Predator: Ultimate Hunter Edition Targets Blu-ray’

Albums That Changed Us – Sean’s Picks

When Gregg Senko suggested that we write about three albums that changed our lives at first I thought that it would be pretty easy to do, until I really started to think about it.  Should I cover only movie soundtracks or should it be non-movie related like my co-workers picks?  Even now, as I am writing this, I have no idea what I will end up with as my picks.  If you’ve read my bio section on the staff page of the website, you know that I have eclectic taste in music.

Sons of Anarchy are Back on Blu-ray!

Sons of Anarchy Season 2After driving my Ford Mustang GT for the first time this year I thought this press release was only fitting.  I know nothing of this show, but the FX biker series Sons of Anarchy looks like a roaring good time to be had!  Season 2 of the FX original drama starring Ron Perlman, Katey Sagal and Charlie Hunnam rides onto Blu-ray this August 31st (my birthday for anyone that cares).  I took the liberty of listing the pre-order and including the full press release below from FX.  Enjoy!

Continue reading ‘‘Repo Men’ Deliver Futuristic Action on Blu-ray!’

I Made It Through Sex and the City 2 Unscathed!

Sex and the City 2Every once in awhile, being a reviewer means you have to see and sit through movies that you really have no interest in (to put it politely).  I accept that.  It comes with the territory and the job title.  Sure I may moan and groan about the film beforehand, but sometimes, just sometimes, you are pleasantly surprised by a movie that just rocks your world unexpectedly, much like my screening of How To Train Your Dragon did earlier this year. Continue reading ‘I Made It Through Sex and the City 2 Unscathed!’

Albums That Changed Us – Gerard’s Picks

four_devil_hornsEvery once in a great while we’ll get one of those projects that we just can’t wait to devour.  This be that kind of project.  Three albums that changed us?  It was kind of hard at first, but I feel that I was able to come through with my picks loud and clear.  Funny enough, all three of my choices were discovered on or around the same time.  Same decade, for sure. Continue reading ‘Albums That Changed Us – Gerard’s Picks’

I Want To Check Out Chloe on Blu-ray!

ChloeNow here’s a film I was intrigued with during its short theatrical run.  Due to time restraints, I was unable to make the press screening of this flick, but I was stricken with curiosity about it after seeing the film’s trailer.  And now that it’s coming to Blu-ray, I definitely won’t miss it this time around!  Sony’s tagline says it all… “Sexual Addiction.  Infidelity.  Family Secrets.  Betrayal.” Continue reading ‘I Want To Check Out Chloe on Blu-ray!’

Albums That Changed Us – Brian’s Picks

Brian White circa 2003 ShockSpiritLove DaysWhen fellow Why So Blu staff writer Gregg Senko asked me to come up with three albums that changed the world of music for me I jumped at the opportunity.  I said to myself, “This will be a piece of cake.”  Well, little did I know how hard it would be narrowing down my selections to just three.  I mean, anyone that really associates with me knows that I have a very wide range of musical preferences and tastes in life.  And then there are some people who know me as just that guy who only listens to Rob Zombie.
