Before entering Tuesday evening’s press screening of The Great Gatsby, I strongly held the opinion that this was either going to be one of those films you’d love or you’d hate with uncompromising passion, no middle ground in the equation. I know I found myself seriously conflicted in how I felt about it these past […]

It’s that not-so-dreaded time of the year where I unleash my Top 10 Blu-rays of 2012. This year I thought I’d go against the grain the best that I could and just limit myself on picking Blu-rays that actually made a statement in terms of video, audio, and special features, instead of films that were […]
While this was a huge year for long-awaited, big catalog title Blu-ray releases such as Finding Nemo, E.T., Jaws, Titanic, Chinatown and Indiana Jones, we also saw monstrous box sets take the High-Definition world by storm like Bond: 50, the Universal Monster collection, Hitchcock and more! And yes, finally…we got all caught up with all […]
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? […]
I would like to think that actor Michael Fassbender and director Steve McQueen have fun personalities when they are not on the set of their respective films. Given the intense natures of characters that Fassbender has portrayed, particularly in regards to the two films he and McQueen have collaborated on thus far, it would be […]
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 […]
One of my top ten films of 2010, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps hits Blu-ray for the first time, but it is it worth it? Is it worth spending your hard earned cash or precious time to check out the world that was first introduced in that glorious year that was 1987? Well, that’s kind […]
Oliver Stone’s follow up to his popular 1987 corporate classic, Wall Street, puts me in a tough spot. On one hand the film has comes at a well chosen time, in true Stone form, by being topical and making observations about the economic world of today. It also features some very good performances not just […]
Between Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps and Tron Legacy, we’ve got the beginnings for calling 2010 the year of the distant sequel. How successful can these films be when trying to follow up on something that many in the audience may not have remembered? While Tron Legacy is still a few months away, we can […]
Never Let Me Go is a moody science fiction film about love and death. While one not familiar with the popular book on which it is based may believe the film to be a dramatic period piece (which it rather is as well), yes, it is in fact a sci-fi film that really downplays those […]
I hope I wasn’t misleading with the title. LOL. Here’s one of those titles that is up for an Academy Award that many people quite frankly probably never even heard of. I am one of those people. In fact, I just saw it was playing finally at local theater near me. I don’t know how this […]
