The latest entertainment news and reviews in 4K UHD, Blu-ray, movies and more…
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 […]
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 […]
Another year has come and almost gone, leaving in its wake, many Blu-rays littered about. Some good, some not so good. In what will be an ongoing tradition, WhySoBlu has asked for my thoughts on the best Blu-rays of the year. The following article is MY personal top ten favorite Blu-rays of 2010 for your […]
It’s the end of 2010, and with that I have a list of my favorite movies. The following list contains all of the films that I felt defined what I seek out in most films; namely that they have elements of entertainment, intrigue, or master craftsmanship when it comes to the filmmaking. Some may only have a few of these aspects covered, others may have all three bases dominated. Given my lengthy honorable mention section, there were certainly a good number of films that I had to choose from, but this list, I feel, represents the best of what 2010 had to offer theatrically:
As little time as I have to actually sit at home and watch all the Blu-rays I own and check out all the special features they have to offer, there are a certain number of films that I could not pass up when it came to checking them out 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 best that the Blu-ray format has had to offer for this year.
I’m pretty sure that all three of my staff Blu-ray reviewers, excluding myself, would put some of the Alien movies in their all-time favorite lists if I asked them. And so when the Alien Anthology Blu-ray box set arrived at my doorstep upon returning from sunny California, almost two weeks ago, it arrived at what […]
An important thing to note right off the bat about this film is that it is not “Facebook: The Movie.” This is a film, based on a novel that recounts the creation of Facebook through multiple perspectives and the legal action that followed. I believe this film could have just as easily been about the […]
Let’s start off with the obvious question. Who out there reading this doesn’t have a Facebook account, a show of hands please? I futilely resisted all these years, but when pressured by the marketing forces behind the studios to get one for promotion of our reviews, I reluctantly succumbed having no choice in the matter […]
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 […]
Well there wasn’t much Blu-ray news to report on yesterday, but at least one positive thing happened in the world. Someone was cast to play Lisbeth Salander in David Fincher’s US adaptation of Stieg Larsson’s The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. That girl’s name is Rooney Mara. I only know her from the newest incarnation […]
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 […]
November 17, 2009 was a festive day for all Fight Club fans! Yesterday, the cult classic film turned 10 years old. Parties were held around the globe, in festive celebration, in observance of Project Mayhem’s 10th Birthday. Last night, mischief and mayhem ensued when midnight screenings of Fight Club were held in Los Angeles and New […]
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 […]
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 […]
