There is something I find fascinating about a man struggling not to be a criminal. This was something played to near-perfection by Al Pacino in The Godfather films, but it is a character type that we have seen a lot in the crime and gangster films before and since those first two ‘masterpieces.’ In regards […]

Aside from Blu-ray press releases, these WonderCon posts over the past few days, and upcoming posts for Comic Con this year, I generally do not post various movie news and announcements for upcoming features, sticking to the reviews instead. That said, Finding Nemo is one of my favorite Pixar films and seeing news about the […]

I am not sure how concerned with my own age I should be when thinking about This Is 40, but I can say that I have doubts that Judd Apatow’s new film about a couple with two kids living in a mansion in LA, facing financial issues, because Paul Rudd’s record label is not doing […]

Every once in awhile, a film comes around that’s so hard to classify and/or nail down to a specific genre. One can argue that 2011’s Drive just might be one of these movies. Is it a mainstream picture? Is it art house? Is it an independent film? Is it film noir? Is it a thriller? […]

To me, 2011 was a pretty unusual year. I say that because I found there to be an unusual amount of great films that came out in both the realm of mainstream feature films and the realm of art house and independent features. This year, like any year, had its share of duds as well, […]

I am super busy these days, but there are a certain number of films that I could not pass up when it came to checking them out on Blu-ray, at my own leisure, in the comfort of my own home. The following list is set of films that I consider to be some of the […]

I think it’s pretty safe to say that Drive is a 2011 staff favorite film of many here at Why So Blu. And why would’t it be? The movie kicked a$$! So without further ado, I am happy to announce that Drive will be debuting on the glorious Blu-ray format next January 31st. Drive‘s all-star […]

Seeing the pieces fall together in a film all so perfectly is a beautiful thing. The right combinations can sometimes still make for chaos, but at other times work in perfect rhythms. Drive presents this very positive latter angle. Taking a standard crime-story and turning into a piece of neo-noir art makes for a great […]
