Rob Zombie – Hellbilly Deluxe 2 (CD Review)

Hellbilly Deluxe 2 (CD Review)Back in my late teens, I remember my grandfather always saying that these were the best days of your life and to enjoy them.  Growing up in the rebellious grunge era of the 1990’s those words were unfortunately lost on me.  I did not feel fortunate in life, and I certainly was not going to listen to an old man who obviously did not know what he was talking about.  I never truly understood what he meant until I hit my thirties.

From Paris with Love a Lock n’ Load Blast

From Paris With LoveJohn Travolta had his heyday in the 70’s and his acting career seemingly died with disco.  Then came a resurgence of the one-time heartthrob and his career was reborn in the 90’s.  Recently, however, his career can be described as tepid with some of his works getting a warmer reception than others.  Jonathan Rhys Myers on the other hand is still making his way up the fame ladder, getting closer to becoming a household name.

Giant Monster Is A Smashing Good Time

Giant MonsterSometimes a good book comes along that laid low on the publicity front.  For whatever reason, usually money, these publications don’t receive a great deal of advertising flare and as a result, take on stealth-like characteristics on store shelves.  These tend to rely solely on word of mouth, and if the word is mum, there is the unfortunate occurrence that a good story can fall into obscurity.  Just before Christmas, I passed on one such hardcover called Giant Monster. Continue reading ‘Giant Monster Is A Smashing Good Time’

Mystic River (Blu-ray Review)

Mystic River (Blu-ray Review)Mystic River should be on your play list if you are a fan of Law and Order, Criminal Minds, or murder mysteries in general.  The focal point of the film is what appears to be a typical murder, but the high-powered cast delivers over two hours of drama and mystery that is far from anything typical.  The director, Clint Eastwood, does an excellent job showing the hardship and effects of a tragedy that takes place amongst friends. Continue reading ‘Mystic River (Blu-ray Review)’

Mel Takes No Prisoners in the Edge of Darkness

Edge of DarknessWhat’s better than a movie about a father hell bent on revenge over his daughter’s murder?  Plot lines rarely get more visceral and thrilling as do these type of tales.  I said it before and I will say it again, a father’s love for his daughter knows no boundaries and from the trailers of Mel Gibson’s latest film opening this Friday, Edge of Darkness, it looked like I was dead on with my way of thinking. Continue reading ‘Mel Takes No Prisoners in the Edge of Darkness’

Mad Mel’s on the Edge of Darkness

Edge of DarknessMy name is Chris Stuckmann, up and coming movie critic on YouTube.  Mel Gibson has always been a favorite of mine despite his personal troubles, and I was eager to see what his comeback film would be like.  Martin Campbell rebooted Pierce Brosnan in Goldeneye, Daniel Craig in Casino Royale, and now he helms Mel Gibson’s comeback, Edge of Darkness.  Check out my video review! Continue reading ‘Mad Mel’s on the Edge of Darkness’

Thor’s TOP 11 Most Anticipated Movies of 2010

Thor's TOP 11 Most Anticipated Movies of 2010A brand new year is always my favorite in terms of films; all of the big releases seem beaming with promise and potential.  Of course, by December, several will have fallen flat on their face, but lets not dwell on that, lets get excited while we still can.  Overall, there are plenty of fresh flicks to look forward to, at least for a genre fan like myself; a bunch of Cult Directors make their long awaited returns (John Carpenter, Vincenzo Natali), old school action makes a comeback (Predators, Machete, The Expendables) and a bunch of horror projects get the Big Budget treatment (Piranha 3-D, Wolfman, Shutter Island). Continue reading ‘Thor’s TOP 11 Most Anticipated Movies of 2010′

What Do Iron Man and AC/DC Have in Common?

AC/DC's Iron Man 2 Music Video "Shoot to Thrill"At first it may seem like a strange combination, but after you see the video the answer is quite simple of why the two have joined forces.  They are both kicking a$$ and taking no prisoners in AC/DC’s new music video for “Shoot To Thrill.”  The video premiered yesterday on the Vevo Network and within it Iron Man fans can preview footage from the upcoming superhero movie.  So in other words, even if you are not a fan of AC/DC, you will still want to check it out for the Iron Man 2 footage!

Blu-ray Finds Itself on the Minority Report

Minority ReportI admit to being a fan of only two Tom Cruise films.  The first being the War of the Worlds remake (that bass will peel the paint off your walls) and the science-fiction action thriller Minority Report.  The latter just so happened to be announced for the Blu-ray format yesterday and I couldn’t be happier with the news.  Paramount Home Entertainment has issued a April 20th release date for Minority Report on the Blu-ray format. Continue reading ‘Blu-ray Finds Itself on the Minority Report’

Toby Maguire’s Brothers Reunite on Blu-ray!

BrothersHere’s one I unfortunately did not catch in the theaters, but our Gregg Senko did.  Brothers comes highly recommended from him (see here), so I think I will give it a try the second time around on the Blu-ray format.  Just my luck as Lionsgate has announced a March 23rd release date for the film on the Blu-ray format.  The film features an all-star cast including Toby Maguire, Jake Gyllenhaal, Natalie Portman and more.

Fame – 1980 (Blu-ray Review)

Fame - 1980 (Blu-ray Review)If you love the attire and mediocre acting of 1980’s then, you will love Fame.  I watched this movie waiting patiently for the good song and dance numbers but sadly they never came.  The choreography was absolutely terrible along with the dancers.  Even the theme song number in the street was a major disappointment.  It looked like a bunch of teenagers in bad outfits having simultaneous spasms all over the vehicles. Continue reading ‘Fame – 1980 (Blu-ray Review)’

The Force is Strong at Star Wars Celebration V

Star Wars Celebration VHaving enjoyed myself so much at Celebration 3 and being the big Star Wars fan that I am I just had to put a plug in about Celebration V landing this summer in Orlando, FL.  One way or another Why So Blu will have some coverage from down there.  We were actually sitting around talking about this event today and it made me think about how much of a blast I had at C3.  I hope you are reading this Ed Henry.  The event will take place at the Orange County Convention Center August 12-15.
