A once-powerful warrior king takes on a new life as an assassin for hire in the DVD Original The Scorpion King 3: Battle for Redemption, which is now available on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital Download. The latest chapter in Universal’s enormously popular The Mummy franchise, The Scorpion King 3: Battle for Redemption brings the heroic, larger-than-life saga of […]
Every once in awhile, a film comes around that’s so hard to classify and/or nail down to a specific genre. One can argue that 2011’s Drive just might be one of these movies. Is it a mainstream picture? Is it art house? Is it an independent film? Is it film noir? Is it a thriller? […]

I think it’s pretty safe to say that Drive is a 2011 staff favorite film of many here at Why So Blu. And why would’t it be? The movie kicked a$$! So without further ado, I am happy to announce that Drive will be debuting on the glorious Blu-ray format next January 31st. Drive‘s all-star […]
A home entertainment debut as fierce as the warrior himself, Lionsgate brings Conan the Barbarian to 3D/2D Blu-ray Disc, 2D Blu-ray Disc, DVD, Digital Download and On Demand this November. In an epic battle led by an epic hero, Jason Momoa (HBO’s “Game of Thrones”) stars as Conan, the Cimmerian set on avenging his father’s […]
After the gigantic cliffhanger that ended the second season, FX has now brought us Sons of Anarchy: The Complete Third Season to the Blu-ray format. Sons of Anarchy is a television show that runs on the FX network and comes to us from the makers of The Shield (an excellent show, by the way), so […]
Seeing the pieces fall together in a film all so perfectly is a beautiful thing. The right combinations can sometimes still make for chaos, but at other times work in perfect rhythms. Drive presents this very positive latter angle. Taking a standard crime-story and turning into a piece of neo-noir art makes for a great […]
Conan the Barbarian gives the viewer everything that they would be expecting…if they did not have their expectations very high. The movie has plenty of macho ridiculousness and is filled to the brim with violence and CG blood and gore. It is not a good movie by any means, but I did laugh a lot. […]
Comic-Con started with a bang this year. Twilight was the first panel to headline the coveted Hall H lineup. Believe it or not, there were fans standing in line outside the convention center for over a week waiting to get in. Now that’s devotion! Our own Mary Welms will have full coverage of that panel […]
I was recently disappointed in Nicolas Cage after viewing Drive Angry. That combined with a growing history of dissatisfying films like Ghost Rider made me think that Nicolas Cage just doesn’t turn down movie roles anymore. This makes me sad to say because I’ve been a fan of Cage for a long time. When I […]
Starring Charlie Hunnam, Ron Perlman and 2011 Golden Globe® Award-winner Katey Sagal, “Sons of Anarchy” Season Three is FX’s adrenalized drama about a notorious outlaw motorcycle club intent on protecting their sheltered small town against encroaching drug dealers, corporate developers and overzealous law officers. The club is equally determined to protect their ruthless and illegally […]
It was in in the first half of 2010 when I came across the trailer for Nicholas Cage in Season of the Witch. As the months left the calendar, my interest for this film remained in some deep, dark corner of my brain, though its title escaped me. It wasn’t until a month ago when […]
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. And so when the Alien Anthology Blu-ray box set arrived at my doorstep upon returning from sunny California, almost two weeks ago, it arrived at what […]
It seems as time goes on, there are more and more entertaining films that find their way to Blu-ray, but never made it to the cinema. In the case of Outlander, it found zero success at the movie theater and was released this past May on Blu-ray. The film, while not a blockbuster of mammoth […]
After driving my Ford Mustang GT for the first time this year I thought this press release was only fitting. I know nothing of this show, but the FX biker series Sons of Anarchy looks like a roaring good time to be had! Season 2 of the FX original drama starring Ron Perlman, Katey Sagal and […]
