From the creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar (“Smallville”), and director Tim Burton (The Nightmare Before Christmas, Beetlejuice), the kooky and spooky first season of “Wednesday,” the TV series based on Wednesday Addams of the iconic Addams Family, which streams on Netflix and is produced by MGM Television, a division of Amazon MGM Studios, comes to […]

Its been in the works for a little while now, but Steven Soderbergh’s 1999 film The Limey will be making the jump from DVD straight to 4K Ultra-HD Blu-ray. On demand from many a film enthusiast and collector, the film received a 4K digital release a year or so ago and back in February word […]

We’re so close to the Sept. 13 release date of the five-star doc De Palma on Blu-ray that there’s already a distinctive smell of candid cinema chatter in the air. (Just look to Brandon Peters’ very cool recent Raising Cain Blu-ray review for firm evidence!) And speaking of honest talk about films, let’s hop onto yet […]

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 […]

There is only so much to say about movies like In The Blood. It is a thriller that had minimal exposure upon its initial release and will live in the realm of streaming and cheap Blu-ray bins. That said, as far as these fairly straight-forward action vehicles for lower-profile stars and fun character actors go, […]

It’s kind of funny, had this been 1986 and local newsletter mag called Why So VHS and Crocodile Dundee come across the table for review, us writers may have been chomping at the bit and fighting each other for the chance to review the tape. Instead, its 2014 and the double feature release of not […]

While some of us at Why So Blu are concerned whether or not MMA fighter Gina Carano can be considered an actress (I personally felt she was fine in Haywire), she has another starring role to prove herself in with In The Blood. Here are some official words about it: Gina Carano stars as Ava, a […]

The Indianapolis 500 hasn’t had a film with it as the subject in over 40 years. The last time was the Paul Newman film Winning. And even that one was the first film about the Indy 500 in 15 years. Its one of the biggest events in the world and racing creates a whole lot […]

Turbo presents the idea of a snail racing in the Indy 500. There are reasons why this happens and the fact that the film is animated and intended for children allows for an obvious amount of suspension of disbelief, but let me reiterate that this is a film that presents the idea of a Snail […]

So this past winter has seen the release of action films from a lot of the action starts, old and new. I did not expect The Last Stand to be the best of the bunch, but given that A Good Day to Die Hard was a huge bust and Stallone couldn’t quite land a Bullet […]

In 1993, Hong Kong film director John Woo made his American feature film debut with Hard Target, starring Jean-Claude Van Damme. That film is not very good as a whole, but the action is solid and one can see Woo’s signature style lurking beneath what is essentially a studio-produced action film, with a bit more […]

It is nice to set up goals for yourself. For example, I happened to have three goals for the New Year: see Michael Cain ride on a giant bumblebee, watch The Rock bounce berries off his chest, and find out if a giant electric eel can power a submarine (all of that is true, yes). […]

“From the creators of Entourage…” Okay, I’m in! Yes, I’m shallow, but you love it. I got the word that I would be reviewing How To Make It In America, and got real excited. Granted the title is a bit peculiar due to having the Entourage cloud hanging over it. People may start talking and […]

Finally, the much delayed Why So Blu review of the Arthur Blu-ray is here! One of the best things I can say about Arthur is that a lot of people laughed really hard when I saw it in theaters, and that does not make them wrong. However, the percentage of those people who had seen […]

Arthur puts itself in a difficult place when it comes to evaluating it. One of the best things I can say about Arthur is that a lot of people laughed really hard in my theater, and that does not make them wrong. However, the percentage of those people who had seen the original 1981 Arthur […]
