He’s back. Whether or not you want him to be, Schwarzenegger is returning to the world of Terminator in the awkwardly titled Terminator Genisys and everyone will have a chance to see a first look at their favorite cybernetic killing machine in the first trailer coming this Thursday. For now, check out this new motion poster. ‘ ‘
Way back when I wrote my theatrical review of The Expendables 3 I talked about how I initially promised myself I would have nothing to do with this movie after I learned about the abysmal PG-13 rating the filmmakers trimmed it down to be to comply with requirements of the much feared MPAA in order to get […]
The Expendables 3, the third explosive film in the action-packed franchise, arrives with a never-before-seen Unrated Extended Edition (surprise, surprise) on Blu-ray Combo Pack (plus Digital HD) and On Demand November 25th from Lionsgate Home Entertainment. News flash for the peeps who don’t care about physical possessions in life. The Expendables 3 will be available in Digital HD […]
This is the one movie I promised myself I would have nothing to do with after I learned about the abysmal PG-13 rating the filmmakers trimmed it down to be to comply with requirements of the much feared MPAA in order to get it out to a wider audience (more about that later). If it […]
At this point in the Expendables franchise, it seems apparent that there is little understanding as to how to really deliver on what could make these films true action delights. The story means little to me in these films, the presence of all the big name action heroes is more important than their acting, but […]
We’re finally here! The Expendables 3 comes out tomorrow. This is the end of our ‘Countdown To Expendables 3’ series. And if we started with Sly we’re ending on Schwarzenegger! Today’s pick is the biggest glaring hole, not only of Arnold’s catalog, but the director, the studio and Blu-ray as a whole. We have one […]
Here we go with the whole, “We’re a Blu-ray site thing.” Amazon has a solid Gold Box Deal of the Day – Pick up either the Predator Blu-ray bundle pack or the Pacific Rim Collector’s Edition Blu-ray for a low price. Both are over 50% off, making for some great deals. Anyone that is a Predator fan can […]
We are a little over halfway through 2014 and with that, I figured it would be a good idea for Why So Blu’s writing staff to spread the word on which films they believe to be the best of the year so far (along with some picks for the worst). This article contains just that, […]
So this is pretty cool. I have been happy to attend the Hero Complex Film Festival for the past couple years and the lineup for 2014’s fest has just been announced. For Los Angeles residents and those willing to come out for a weekend, Hero Complex will be presenting a number of very cool screenings […]
Sabotage is a nasty little thriller from writer/director David Ayer (Training Day, End of Watch), which stars Arnold Schwarzenegger in another leading action movie role, following his term as Governor. The film is getting its share of notice for having a plot that feels akin to an Agatha Christie-styled whodunit, as it revolves around Arnold’s […]
So Sabotage! Yeah! I’m at a loss for words, truly. I really wanted nothing to do with this one, but since it was a pretty lifeless week for press screeners in the Austin, TX area and there’s not a single one slated for Noah I thought why not? I have been pleasantly surprised before and […]
Let’s face it. Escape Plan is the tag team hardcore action moviegoers of my generation have been dying to see happen on the big screen ever since the big guns of the 80’s. With the exception of Arnold’s brief scenes in The Expendables series, Escape Plan truly marks the first time Sylvester Stallone and Arnold […]
I feel like a broken record as of late when posting these announcements, but here is yet another flick that I regrettably missed in the theaters and have been anxiously awaiting for its Blu-ray release ever since. I could have made it to see it in the theaters, but by the time I was free […]
While assembling a dream team of 80s/90s action stars in The Expendables films may not have panned out to be something as epic as I would have wanted, Escape Plan more or less captures the sense of fun that I like out of these sorts of films. It may have to do with limiting the […]
If there is an excuse to put up a post about Predator, I’ll be there. At this year’s San Diego Comic Con, Predator will be making a bit of s splash on the exhibit floor, as fans will be able to pre-order the 3D Blu-ray, which will also feature an option and all new experience. For […]
Like my curious flirtation with Mama in my last HD Digital Download review over here, I really wanted nothing to do with The Last Stand. Why? Quite simply…I felt embarrassed for Arnold Schwarzenegger in it after seeing how much he makes fun of himself in the trailers. It was funny at first, but I have […]
So this past winter has seen the release of action films from a lot of the action starts, old and new. I did not expect The Last Stand to be the best of the bunch, but given that A Good Day to Die Hard was a huge bust and Stallone couldn’t quite land a Bullet […]

Synopsis: The leader of a drug cartel busts out of a courthouse and speeds to the Mexican border, where the only thing in his path is a sheriff and his inexperienced […]
