This is not really a post of joy, but every year does see the release of films that are just not good. I do not try to seek out these films, with the majority being ones that I did think could have redeemable elements, but that just wasn’t the case here. This list contains what […]
It can be hard to try and critique a film, when it comes to addressing one that uses the basis of another film that one already loves. It is hard to critique a film at any time really, as it requires a certain amount of consideration that really drags in all of what it going […]
Here’s a film that I have been very curious about. Spike Lee putting his own spin on the Oldboy story is certainly something I would not have suspected to come along initially (although more likely than the supposed idea of Will Smith and Steven Spielberg joining forces to provide their take). As a huge fan […]
Gangster Squad is the R-rated, spiritual successor to Dick Tracy that nobody wanted. The film is a stylish exercise in action sequences, featuring a bunch of good actors that have decided not to do much acting, aside from Sean Penn, who attempts to devour every scene he is in and hopes to stop short of […]

Synopsis: Mobster Mickey Cohen runs the crime syndicate in 1940’s Los Angeles. So two police sergeants decide he must be stopped. Together […]
This year has seen the release of several apps related to the big blockbuster films of the year. Films like The Avengers, The Dark Knight and The Amazing Spider-Man have all gotten apps that directly relate to their Blu-ray releases, giving viewers the ability to sync up their smartphone or tablet devices to their Blu-ray […]
Men In Black 3 is coming November 30th to Blu-ray, Blu-ray 3D, and DVD, so bust out your noisy crickets and get ready for some fun. When talking about surprises this past summer, Men In Black 3 easily stands out to me (Review HERE). The various production issues and concerns about its high budget could […]
An alien criminal kills a Agent K in 1969, altering history and the Agency. So Agent J travels back in time to 1969 to stop the murder. Together with a young Agent K, they fight to save the Agency and the Earth. Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones return to reprise their roles along with […]
Everyone nod you heads, because the black suits have come back. Still protecting the earth from the scum of the universe, the Men In Black have returned, but most importantly, they have redeemed themselves with an enjoyable third entry that gets better as it goes along. It has been a while since the last ‘Big […]
In Men in Black III, Agents J (Will Smith) and K (Tommy Lee Jones) are back… in time. J has seen some inexplicable things in his 15 years with the Men in Black, but nothing, not even aliens, perplexes him as much as his wry, reticent partner. But when K’s life and the fate of the […]

Audiences will experience High […]
Father’s Day is coming, so we decided that it would be more than appropriate if Why So Blu posted a nice double header of western Blu-ray madness. True Grit is part one of the equation with Once Upon A Time In The West being part two. I remember seeing the teaser trailer for True Grit […]
Paramount Pictures will be releasing the critical and box-office smash True Grit on Blu-ray and DVD June 7th, 2011. True Grit is a remake of the John Wayne classic and is written and directed by The Coen Brothers. True Grit stars Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon, Josh Brolin, and the sensational newcomer Hailee Steinfeld. The True […]
One of my top ten films of 2010, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps hits Blu-ray for the first time, but it is it worth it? Is it worth spending your hard earned cash or precious time to check out the world that was first introduced in that glorious year that was 1987? Well, that’s kind […]
One of the running themes in many films directed by the Coen brothers (Fargo, No Country for Old Men) has revolved around the idea that they do not seem to like their characters (there is also another running gag that their characters are mostly, for lack of a better word, dumb). As much as we […]
Hey you guys! One of the greatest movies of the 80s is finally on Blu-ray as The Goonies 25th Anniversary Box Set with some fun extras. I’ve always loved this movie and I think this was a one of those rare movies that is a part of our cultural landscape and loved by most of […]
When the Jonah Hex movie was announced I was really looking forward to it. I love westerns, it had a good cast, and I enjoyed the character in earlier DC Comics shows such as Batman – The Animated Series, Justice League – Unlimited and Batman – The Brave and the Bold. Hex was never popular […]
Oliver Stone’s follow up to his popular 1987 corporate classic, Wall Street, puts me in a tough spot. On one hand the film has comes at a well chosen time, in true Stone form, by being topical and making observations about the economic world of today. It also features some very good performances not just […]
