Director Kyle Balda has more on his mind than ninety minutes of cute animals and wool puns for The Sheep Detectives, a movie about sheep trying to solve Hugh Jackman’s murder. Jackman plays George Hardy, a lonely shepherd who spends his evenings reading crime novels to his flock. The sheep understand every word, even if […]
Every once in a while, a movie comes along that sounds completely absurd on paper, only to completely sweep you off your feet once the lights go down. The Sheep Detectives (adapted from Leonie Swann’s beloved bestselling novel Three Bags Full) is precisely that kind of rare, delightful curveball. Directed by Kyle Balda with a clever, razor-sharp script […]
Amazon MGM Studios and Alliance Home Entertainment announce the Blu-ray™ and DVD release of the critically-acclaimed The Sheep Detectives, starring Hugh Jackman, Nicholas Braun, Nicholas Galitzine, Molly Gordon, Hong Chau, and Emma Thompson. Bring it home on August 25th.
There’s a movie somewhere in here that could have been an intimate, affectionate view of a Midwestern subculture. Craig Brewer is inspired by Greg Kohs’s 2008 documentary about Milwaukee tribute performers Mike Sardina and Claire Stengl, two working class entertainers who fall in love while orbiting the state fair impersonator circuit. Mike, a Vietnam veteran […]
Academy Award® nominees Hugh Jackman (Les Misérables, The Greatest Showman) and Kate Hudson (How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, Almost Famous), in her Golden Globe® and Actor Award® nominated role, bring adoration and vulnerability to Focus Features’ inspirational love story SONG SUNG BLUE, arriving exclusively on digital* platforms to buy or rent on January 13, 2026, and on Blu-ray™ and […]
I don’t know about you, but I really missed Wolverine. I missed that gruff, hard, yet lovable X-man! I was in tears when he met his fate at the end of Logan and thought that was that. When the worlds of Deadpool and Wolverine were to collide in the appropriately titled Deadpool & Wolverine, I […]
LFG! Marvel Studios’ Deadpool & Wolverine bursts onto digital retailers (Prime Video, Apple TV and Fandango) on October 1 and explodes on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD on October 22. The highly anticipated introduction of the edgy, and dynamically comical heroes into the Marvel Cinematic Universe has already proven to be a massive success, […]
Is there a secret you would kill to know? In this electrifying, suspense-packed thriller from director Christopher Nolan (Batman Begins, Memento), Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale play magicians whose cutthroat attempts to best each other plunge them into deadly deception. Scarlett Johansson also stars as the stage assistant who’s both a pawn and player in […]
Based on a review from Aaron Neuwirth featured in the ads, I have it on good authority that this movie is, “hilarious,” but check out this press release concerning Missing Link, arriving on Blu-ray July 23. Hugh Jackman, Zoe Saldana and Zach Galifianakis lead an all-star voice cast in this globetrotting adventure from LAIKA, the makers of Coraline and Kubo […]
While there’s no current tie in (Gifted Season 2, maybe?), Fox is on the right track in releasing more X-Men films to the 4K Ultra-HD Blu-ray format. It dropped the 3 First Class film right away on the format as well as the Deadpool movies and Logan. Now comes the original trilogy of films that […]
Coming this Fall, Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment is releasing a fan favorite in 4K Ultra HD™. Grab the enhanced X-Men Trilogy on September 25th. Wolverine, “Wheels” and the gang are all here in glorious 4K resolution. Witness Storm’s mutant power of losing her accent after 1 movie, a brief visit by Nightcrawler only to […]
I don’t know what it is about me. I’m a red-blooded American male who craves carnage, gore and action in every movie going experience I partake in, but I also have a huge soft spot in my heart when it comes to moving, engaging and rousing musicals. The latter is exactly how I felt after […]
What a year 2017 was and thanks to WhySoBlu and specifically head man Brian White the past year was one memorable movie loving time for yours truly. I got to see more films than any other previous year (by my calculation I only missed The Post and BPM – not bad!), keep the love of my […]
As Walking Dead‘s Negan would say “oh shiz.” It’s that time of year again that I dread the most. It’s colder. It’s more expensive because of the holidays. And worse of all I have to publicly proclaim which film titles I liked the most. I sound like a broken record, but this year more than […]
Without question, this is my favorite article to write for Why So Blu. All of us WSB staffers start keeping track of the films we see from the moment January arrives. As the year progresses, we delete, we add and we rearrange our lists until late December arrives when it’s time to finally see what’s […]
Another year of home video releases in the books. While digital and streaming continue to be a thing, the physical market is still the best possible way to view or take in your entertainment. And whatever the numbers tell you what, whether its “dying” or “doing well”, what’s clear is that the overall quality of […]
Last year I undertook the pioneer task of only listing my Top 10 4K Ultra HD Blu-rays here. It was a brand spanking new format then and I was among the first. Since then Sir Brandon Peters has caught up to me on the format and we currently split the bulk of the 4K UHD […]
By all accounts, I would be happy to lavish praise on The Greatest Showman, a musical passion project for Hugh Jackman. He may not have written or produced the film, but Jackman is a Tony Award-winning song and dance man at heart, and he’s been attached to this movie since 2009. If anything, The Greatest […]
