Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax transports viewers into a fantastical landscape imagined by Dr. Seuss and vividly brought to life by Chris Meledandri and his acclaimed filmmaking team at Illumination Entertainment. Directed by Chris Renaud (Despicable Me) from a screenplay adapted by Ken Daurio and Cinco Paul from the 1971 children’s classic, the film is an […]
I just realized it that it may be pseudo-comedy week here on Why So Blu – we’ve been dropping them like they were hot all week long and we’re not done yet. Up next we’ve got The Duplass Bros. sleeper comedy Jeff, Who Lives At Home starring the cry-baby from Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Jason Segel […]
Today, Universal Studios Home Entertainment and Zynga announced a first-time partnership to commemorate the highly anticipated debut of Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax on Blu-ray & DVD on August 7th. Starting today, this week-long in-game integration brings one of the year’s top animated films to Zynga’s popular games Draw Something and Words With Friends to benefit local schools across the United States. The […]
Two brothers with very different ways of looking at the world come together to help each other find their way in the “whimsical comedy” (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times) JEFF, WHO LIVES AT HOME, debuting on Blu-ray and DVD (both with UltraViolet™) June 19, 2012 from Paramount Home Media Distribution. The film will also be available […]
I was kind of excited about this one. That’s saying something in my eyes, as I have yet to really enjoy a full length Dr. Seuss feature film. How the Grinch Stole Christmas was pretty forgettable, I try not to talk about The Cat in the Hat, and Horton Hears a Who was a step […]
Unbeknown to anyone else beside myself, at the beginning of the year I decided there were a total of three movies I was really looking forward to in 2011. The first, not a critic’s choice by any means, is the Independence Day sequel (joking), Battle: Los Angeles. Unlike the majority of critics, I was able to […]
I was happy to be able to revisit Cedar Rapids. I thought it was a very charming comedy that was unfortunately only able to be seen in limited release, during its theatrical run. Fortunately, the Blu-ray for this film is now available and many can now buy or rent this sweet-natured, raunchy comedy. It helps […]
Unbeknown to anyone else besides myself, at the beginning of the year I decided there were a total of three movies I was really looking forward to in 2011. The first, not a critics choice by any means, has already came and went. Of course, I’m talking about the Independence Day sequel (joking), Battle: Los […]
Before I get to explaining (in more words than I have to) that if you laughed at the first film, then (minus the originality) you’ll probably enjoy this one, I want to list some of the alternate sequel titles that my friends and I came up with for The Hangover Part II: Hangovers, 2 Drunk […]
I missed this one in the theater, but the same mistake won’t happen when it arrives on Blu-ray this June. Two of our reviewers really liked this one (see here and here) so I’m not going to let this one slip off my radar. Anyway, of course I am talking about the salesman comedy of […]
Is Ed Helms the nerdiest guy in Hollywood right now? I mean he’s the nerd-in-residence on The Office, he played the nerdy dentist in the hit comedy The Hangover, and now we get Tim Lippe, insurance salesman and nerd extraordinaire in Cedar Rapids. Tim Lippe is an innocent, wide-eyed, naïve, sappy guy, who LOVES […]
Sometimes you can tell a lot from how good a comedy can be simply by the names of your main characters. Standard, ho-hum comedies may go for simplicity with names like John or Jane without mention of a last name. Other comedies like to have fun with all of the details, like this film for […]
The Hangover was one of those movies that came out at the P-E-R-F-E-C-T time in my life. We all kind of have these back-stories with how we dealt with times of stress and the real life antidotes that helped us persevere through the seemingly impossible feats. For me, that was the summer of 2009. It […]
I have been waiting for this day for a long time! Today…officially dubbed “The National Hangover Day”…is the day Blu-ray fans get to see the #1 R-rated comedy of all-time in glorious High-Definition. I can’t imagine a better way to experience The Hangover than on the Blu-ray format. Amazon still has this title for the ridiculous low […]
We haven’t had any posted deals in awhile so that’s why when I stumbled upon this deal I just had to post it up. Leave it to Amazon to have such an unbelievable low pre-order price on what can easily be called one of the best movies of the year. Yep, that’s right folks. The […]
I first saw the trailer for The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard, starring Jeremy Piven, in July. Based on what I saw, I had no desire to see this film. The whole speech on the plane that Piven gives about the alleged right to smoke on a flight is just hokey to the Nth degree […]
