The Contractor asks a few age-old cinema questions. How does one provide for their family when their livelihood is cut down? How do you do a job you’re not so sure of without first thinking of the consequences of your actions in said job? What will your family think knowing what you do is “less […]

Sooooo, 2020 amirite? I’ve never been happier for a year to end. Of course, with the pandemic still ongoing and awaiting a vaccine to reach millions, this was the first time I haven’t seen 70-100 movies in theaters since…. I dunno, the 90s? I have loved reviewing theatrical releases for this site and hope to […]

What makes a good interview even better? How about the addition of some good grub with a good group for good times! Such is the situation recently when WhySoBlu was invited to celebrate the release of the second film by Sleepwalk With Me writer/director Mike Birbiglia called Don’t Think Twice (currently playing in New York […]

For eleven years, an improv group called The Commune has reigned as the big fish in the small pond of their New York improv theater. Commune members Miles, Samantha, Jack, Allison, Bill and Lindsay invent comedy without a script and without a net. They’re ingenious, they’re fast, and they build on each others’ ideas like […]

Leighton Meester and Gillian Jacobs star in keenly observant comedy Life Partners arriving on Blu-ray from Magnolia Home Entertainment. It also has Adam Brody, Abby Elliott and Kate McKinnon. I’m a huge fan of both Jacobs and McKinnon, so this film at least has that going for it in my wheelhouse. The film is the directorial debut of Susanna […]

In 2010, I was excited to see a film that sold me on Craig Robinson looking into the camera and spouting the words “Hot Tub Time Machine.” Given that the film had such a ludicrous title to begin with, the cast going the extra mile to make something so silly it came back to being […]

Looking at this film and all the actors and producers involved, it seems quite clear that The Lookalike was a script that a lot of people had faith in. There is, indeed, a fun, pulpy story being told here, with enough characters, dark humor, twists, and turns to make for what could have been a […]

A little movie with a fun cast and it is described as a neo-noir thriller? That all sounds good to me. The Lookalike presents a murder mystery and lots of characters to follow and I am intrigued by what the results may be. Husband and wife filmmakers Richard Gray (director) and Michele Davis-Gray (writer) assemble an […]

Community has essentially been a cult favorite TV series that happened to have been in a primetime television slot for the past few years and it looks like it has now finally come to an end, assuming their is no Veronica Mars-style Kickstarter campaign or something similar to bring it back. That said, the show […]

For those who enjoy a fun horror comedy or have ever wondered what a sillier take on a David Cronenberg body horror film would be like, Bad Milo has you covered. The film is easily described as the one where Ken Marino has a butt gremlin and there is not much to argue against with […]

Just what everyone needs after the holidays: A horror-comedy about a butt demon. Yep, that is the basic concept of Bad Milo, a wild looking film that deals with a man who has a demon living in his intestine. I am intrigued just enough, based on some of the art that I have seen for […]
