DreamWorks Pictures’ “Need for Speed” marks an exciting return to the great car culture films of the 1960s and ’70s, when the authenticity of the world brought a new level of intensity to the action on-screen. Tapping into what makes the American myth of the open road so appealing, the story chronicles a near-impossible cross-country […]

Jackson (Pulp Fiction, The Avengers) star in the new suspense thriller, Reasonable Doubt, arriving on Blu-ray Disc (plus Digital HD UltraViolet), DVD (plus Digital UltraViolet), and Digital HD March 18 from Lionsgate Home Entertainment.

Here is another movie that displays the ever filmable tale of revenge and the complexities involved. Dead Man Down brings forward an interesting challenge, as there are a lot of good things about it that I would like to recommend, even though I do not think the movie pulls through in the end. Of course, […]

This past summer, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter came and went through theaters without much of an impact. It was not really a colossal failure, but it also did not do much to win over fans of a genre mash-up. I read the book based on recommendations and obvious intrigue, due to the fact that it’s […]

The wait is FINALLY over! One of my favorite fictional books of 2010 has been adapted and now for very first time…officially presented on the big screen in eye-popping 3-D, if you so choose. Hip, hip hooray! Of course, I’m talking about none other than Seth Grahame-Smith’s mashup novel, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, a combination […]
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter explores the secret life of our greatest president, and the untold story that shaped our nation. Visionary filmmakers Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov (director of Wanted) bring a fresh and visceral voice to the bloodthirsty lore of the vampire, imagining Lincoln as history’s greatest hunter of the undead.
There is a certain level of expectancy when seeing a movie like this. I was first made aware of this bizarre sounding mash-up idea a little over a year ago. The film is based on a book by Seth Grahame-Smith (who also served as the film’s screenwriter), which became a bestseller. I read the book […]
As promised, here is my Top 10 FILM list for 2011. I actually had to scramble in compiling this list, because there was one movie that I needed to see before my deadline and I was confident that it would go on my list. Did it, though? That’s what you’re going to have to read […]
It’s that time again. Another year has flown by and I’m still proverbially in the same place and physically in the same chair as I was last year. My how things don’t always change like you want them to, but that’s the beauty of looking forward to next year and all the endless possibilities dreams, […]
I’m generally a marketing agency’s dream demographic. I guess you can say that I’m a bit of a proverbial yuppy. I am very impressionable by clever or intriguing movie titles that pick my overly curious and zealous mind or sexy/bikini-clad dames in distress on one-sheet theatrical posters. With that being said, the former is the […]
Okay, so here we are at last with the final film in the establishing saga of what will bring us an Avengers film next year. Here is Captain America: The First Avenger. It’s been what, at least half a dozen individual super heroes, give or take, right? We just had Thor, Iron Man & Iron […]
Marvel Studios and Paramount Pictures introduce the latest addition to the incomparable Marvel Super Hero team with CAPTAIN AMERICA: The First Avenger, ready for action on high definition Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray and DVD October 25, 2011. Called “the best superhero movie ever” (Brian Erdy, CBS-TV), the thrill-packed adventure is a blockbuster hit with audiences worldwide, […]
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), […]
2011 has been a great year for Marvel characters. Thor turned out to be a lot more fun than many thought and X-Men: First Class was a slick return to form for the mutant lot. Now it is time for the first Avenger to get his due, as Marvel Studios, director Joe Johnston, and star […]
The idea of having a body double living your life with you, let alone taking your place when you would desire it is interesting. The subject matter presented in The Devil’s Double takes it to the extreme, as the son of Saddam Hussein makes the life of his lookalike a living hell, which is fitting, […]
