The latest entertainment news and reviews in 4K UHD, Blu-ray, movies and more…
So now that we have left the summer movie season behind (a recap featuring the Why So Blu crew’s top picks can be found HERE), it is time to get into the big fall releases. There are a lot of great looking releases on their way, including both “prestige” level films as well as those […]
So the summer movie season has come to an end, but that does not mean us here at Why So Blu can’t have one last hurrah. With such an assortment of different films that came out this past summer (a particularly crowded one, which benefited from having a lot of good crowd pleasers to offer), […]
Bring home acclaimed writer/director Terrence Malick’s (Badlands, Days of Heaven, The Thin Red Line, The New World) thought provoking film experience THE TREE OF LIFE, available exclusively on Blu-ray Disc Combo Pack October 11 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. Through stunning cinematography and raw emotional power Malick’s hymn to life excavates answers to the […]
It almost feels daunting to start to try and describe my thoughts on the latest Terrence Malick film, The Tree of Life. I certainly enjoyed the movie, but for a review, establishing what it is about this profoundly reflective film that encompasses many different themes stemming from a personal place for its writer/director certainly presents […]
So the time has come to prepare for the onslaught of summer blockbuster entertainment. I previously put together a list of films I anticipated for the spring, and with that now out of the way, it’s time for the next stage of this year – massively large budgeted entertainment. The number of films coming out […]
Thelma and Louise celebrates its 20th Anniversary with this release and it still resonates with a lot of people to this day. The movie became something of an anthem for female empowerment and triggered many discussions and disagreements once released. The concept of two women becoming fugitives due to poor judgement and circumstances was radical at […]
I did not get a chance to check this one out in the theaters, but I was very interested in seeing it. The reviews have been mixed for the most part, but I think I will give it a shot this February. Dreamworks has just announced a February 25th Blu-ray release date for the animated […]
Megamind is the second animated feature this year (next to Despicable Me) to focus on the villain’s side of things. It comes from Dreamworks, whose animated features tend to range from satisfying, sweet, clever types to forgettable, pop culture-heavy, jokey types. This film falls somewhere in the middle, but on the positive side. It features […]
A decade before the incarnation of Saw, the crime thriller Seven (stylized as Se7en) “saw” its reign in the theaters some 15 years ago in 1995. My God, has it been that long? And honestly, I remember really liking the film, but for some reason I never revisited the film again. Must be a lack […]
I’m definitely going to be picking this title up. I have not seen this one in quite sometime, but I remember truly liking it back in the day. Like who could ever not like a David Fincher film? I know! Well anyway… Yesterday, Warner Home Video announced the Blu-ray edition of New Line’s Seven (also […]
2009 was an interesting year for films. By mid-summer, I was wondering if I was going to be able to fill out this list. Hasbro made a splash with two of its most successful lines appearing in theaters. Sandra Bullock had two films surface this year. Vampires seemed to be at the turn of every […]
Words cannot vividly express how honored and excited I am to be the recipient of the following Blu-ray disc and also to be selected to furnish a review of it. It’s literally a dream come true for me. To declare the following manuscript of confabulation a mere Blu-ray review would simply be misleading. Instead, think […]
Earlier today I received the email that made my day even better. Not only have I been at home getting in some much needed R&R, today being Veteran’s Day, but I also was notified to be on the lookout for my Blu-ray review copy, sometime next week, of the movie that completely changed my life and thought processes. I’m […]
I wouldn’t exactly say I’m a huge Quentin Tarantino fan. I think some of the hype about him as a director overlooks the fact that he, just like Martin Scorcese, lifts almost everything he does from other films. Of course this can turn into a long discussion about the nature of plagiarism and its place […]
The Inglorious Basterds. Ah, Mr. Tarantino likes to use shock value not only in his films, but also in his films’ titles. I have to be honest. Before I saw this movie and people asked me what it was like (which is a bit odd considering they knew I hadn’t seen the movie at the […]
Had it not been for 2008’s The Dark Knight I would be passed out right now from the news of the OFFICAL Fight Club Blu-ray announcement. Up until July 2008, Fight Club has always been my #1 go to movie for all my needs. For some people this film is more than a movie, its […]
