The latest entertainment news and reviews in 4K UHD, Blu-ray, movies and more…
Boy, does time fly when you’re reviewing anything and everything in between. It’s only been 15 years since Titanic opened in theaters to critical and box-office acclaim cementing the careers of a certain director (not that it hadn’t already been cemented in place, but carte blanche would be given for every project thereafter) and a […]
This October, Avatar will finally be available for all of those who wanted to purchase a 3D Edition of the film. James Cameron’s groundbreaking film has obviously had an effect on how people now view movies (for better or worse), given the onslaught of 3D releases, but now anyone with the proper capabilities will be […]

Few filmmakers have been able to take a huge chunk of money, spend it on an epic adventure in filmmaking, riding through waves of bad publicity and production troubles, only to create a huge blockbuster success as a result. James Cameron has done it twice. Recently, he managed to shatter the record for biggest film […]
Making an underwater, 3D cave-diving thriller, with producer James Cameron in your back corner, seems like an exciting idea for a film. Using today’s technology, there are certainly a lot of ways to come up with a well made film that can pit people up against elements such as air, darkness, and tight spaces, as […]
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 […]
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.
The calendar year of 2010 in the world of Blu-ray was a pretty easy one to judge, at least In my opinion. But when I dwell on what 2011 holds in store, I’m nearly having an aneurysm thinking about all the competition such as the “Holy Grail”of Star Wars films and Tron: Legacy, just to […]
James Cameron’s Avatar has arrived in a very impressive 3-disc Extended Collector’s Edition on Blu-ray. Some folks will scoff about this being the fourth or fifth (sarcastic) dip since it was first released as a bare bone disc earlier in the 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.

I’m all over this. Sorry, but I’m a sucker for this title. Avatar is my #1 Blu-ray of the year so far and if Cameron can make it better, then like I said, I’m all over this. Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment has announced a November 16th Blu-ray release date for Avatar: Extended Collector’s Edition. […]
So this is less of a review and more of an extended note, with absolutely no spoilers, regarding the newly released Special Edition of James Cameron’s Avatar (maybe some of you have heard of it) playing exclusively on 3D and IMAX screens now. My actual review of the film can be found here, while the opinions […]
This is kind of old news by now, but it’s worth mentioning in my opinion. My hat goes off to James Cameron and his newest achievement in life. 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment has announced that the Blu-ray edition of Avatar has sold 2.7 million units by this past Sunday. This record number of Blu-ray sales […]
I know we just posted the press release not so long ago for James Cameron’s monster hit Avatar, but when this press release hit my inbox I instantly had a thought. What a better way to persuade our eco-friendly writer Gregg Senko into buying this Blu-ray release. So Gregg…if you are reading this, check out the […]
Summertime arrives early this year for me with last year’s blockbuster film coming to Blu-ray this April. Actually, isn’t it the biggest grossing film of all time? Well anyway, the record breaking film needs no introduction. James Cameron’s Avatar arrives on the Blu-ray/DVD retail shelves of planet Earth everywhere on April 22nd. If that day doesn’t […]
