The latest entertainment news and reviews in 4K UHD, Blu-ray, movies and more…
What makes for a memorable movie lone wolf – what are the defining cinematic characteristics? Are they quiet, bitter, emotionless, focused or perhaps just plain mean? The one thing they do all have in common is a lone wolf likes to work alone, embodies a sense of isolation and stays firmly in control by doing […]
So many indies, so little time! I’m opting out of the crowded Sausage Party this week to attend a smaller, more intimate gathering featuring some new film friends. My fellow WhySoBlu cohort Aaron Neuwirth already covered all things Anthropoid (via my favorite Cashback director Sean Ellis!), so I’m adding a little determined dad, paranormal ghost hunting […]
With my recent review of the Blu-ray for Mad Max from Scream Factory and its relatively convenient timing, I’ve had the itch to keep going writing about the series over here on Why So Blu. No, this won’t be a review of the Blu-ray that has been out forever (Fun Fact: It was the fifth […]

Fans of visionary director George Miller (The Road Warrior, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdomeand Mad Max: Fury Road) and Oscar®-winning director/producer/actor Mel Gibson (Braveheart, Lethal Weapon) know well the dystopian action adventures of Max Rockatansky from the highly popular MAD MAX movies. Relive the high-octane action, experience the visceral thrills, and see the beginning of this […]

Way back when I wrote my theatrical review of The Expendables 3 I talked about how I initially promised myself I would have nothing to do with this movie after I learned about the abysmal PG-13 rating the filmmakers trimmed it down to be to comply with requirements of the much feared MPAA in order to get […]
The Expendables 3, the third explosive film in the action-packed franchise, arrives with a never-before-seen Unrated Extended Edition (surprise, surprise) on Blu-ray Combo Pack (plus Digital HD) and On Demand November 25th from Lionsgate Home Entertainment. News flash for the peeps who don’t care about physical possessions in life. The Expendables 3 will be available in Digital HD […]
This is the one movie I promised myself I would have nothing to do with after I learned about the abysmal PG-13 rating the filmmakers trimmed it down to be to comply with requirements of the much feared MPAA in order to get it out to a wider audience (more about that later). If it […]
At this point in the Expendables franchise, it seems apparent that there is little understanding as to how to really deliver on what could make these films true action delights. The story means little to me in these films, the presence of all the big name action heroes is more important than their acting, but […]
Mel Gibson is one of the newest action heroes of 80s/90s to hop on board the Expendable train. He’s actually the villain of the upcoming film. And what a dynamite choice. Gibson was pretty much unstoppable from Lethal Weapon to Signs. Hell, for me, I’d say from ’79 in Mad Max to then, but he […]
Universal’s Machete Kills represents everything that’s wrong with Hollywood, sexploitation, extreme gore, bad dialogue, ridiculous plot and action sequences…you name it. But why do I love it so much?! Because it’s so much God d@mn fun if you let it be! That’s why! If you can’t let go and have a fun time with a Machete […]
Well I know one person that will be excited for news of Machete Kills coming to Blu-ray in January…our very own Gregg Senko! He must be doing cartwheels right now as it has just been announced that this explosive sequel that breaks all the rules is hitting the Blu-ray and DVD formats on January 21st […]
I have a lot to say about Machete Kills, the latest Mexploitation film from director Robert Rodriguez. A lot of it may be negative, as the film, overall, tries too hard, despite having plenty of ideas and a wonderful ensemble cast, consisting of anyone who apparently had a free weekend at some point to come […]

Can’t get enough Mel Gibson in your life? I know. We all seem to suffer from that. Wanna relive the film franchise that made him a star and put him on the map on the most glorious of all formats? I know you do. This June…your wait will be OVER! On June 4th, The Mad […]
Tom Mullen is the epitome of the American dream; rich and successful with a wife and kid. His seemingly perfect life is turned upside-down when his son, Sean, is kidnapped for ransom. Mullen tries to handle this the police’s way but decides to take matters into his own hands in order to save his son. […]
Well, I have to be honest with myself. Besides the three screenings I already have lined up for The Dark Knight Rises next week, my second most anticipated film of the week will be catching Get The Gringo in the privacy of my own home on Blu-ray. There’s something about a wild and romping Mel […]
