The latest entertainment news and reviews in 4K UHD, Blu-ray, movies and more…
I’m not sure where I’ve been since 1997, but I’ve never heard of the name Jack Reacher until I heard news of the film being developed some years ago. Turns out Jack is quite the popular character from literary author Lee Child’s wildly “popular” series of novels. Heck, back when I wrote my original Blu-ray […]
You can easily label Hostiles as a revisionist western. Then again, it’s not as though any filmmakers try to make classic westerns anymore, what with the modern emphasis on morally questionable heroes and increased awareness of what certain films tend to glorify and the efforts to subvert certain expectations. So sure, Hostiles is another western […]
Not that all similar films need to be mentioned together, but 2016 offered two films that dealt with important interracial relationships that helped shape history. One was the Oscar-nominated Loving from director Jeff Nichols, which focused on an American couple. The other is A United Kingdom, from director Amma Asante (Belle). While having received good notices at various film festivals […]
Part mystery-thriller, part sly commentary, Gone Girl finds director David Fincher working hard to bring Gillian Flynn’s bestselling novel to life. The result is a very entertaining feature that is able to straddle the line of darkness thanks to its many twists and turns, strong performances, a great amount of dark humor, and the sort […]
We at Why So Blu? were big fans of the latest film from acclaimed director David Fincher, Gone Girl, and now everyone will have a chance to check out one of the year’s most talked about films, when it arrives on Blu-ray on January 13th. This is the hit film adapted form a best-selling novel that […]
In this touching comedy based on the acclaimed novel by Nick Hornby, A LONG WAY DOWN centers on four strangers (Pierce Brosnan, Toni Collette, Aaron Paul and Imogen Poots) who decide to end it all on New Year’s Eve. However, when they meet by chance on a London rooftop, they agree to halt their plans […]
While I have never read the novel of the same name, and despite this movie being directed by one of my favorites, Gone Girl simply looks on the cover like a movie I would eat up and relish every bite of it. I mean let’s examine everything it has going for it. It stars Ben […]

Following the previous (and great) teaser trailer, we now have a full theatrical trailer for director David Fincher’s (Se7en, Zodiac, The Social Network) upcoming 2014 film, Gone Girl, based on the bestselling novel by Gillian Flynn. After The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, it seems that Fincher is fine with adapting popular pulp novels found in grocery stores, but […]
Those keeping up with the news may have heard today that David Fincher (Fight Club, Se7en, Zodiac) will likely not be directing a Steve Jobs biopic, scripted by Aaron Sorkin. Given my love for their previous collaboration, The Social Network, that is unfortunate news, but with that said, the day was also met with a […]
It is always an interesting task, when it comes to providing a critique of one of you most anticipated films of the year from one of your favorite filmmakers. The World’s End is the final entry in the thematically connected “Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy”. The films that led up to this finale are 2004’s […]
The World’s End is the third part in the so-called Cornetto or Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy, which includes 2004’s Shaun of the Dead and 2007’s Hot Fuzz. The British comedy (although one could say it’s a little more than just this) is directed by Edgar Wright, who also co-writes the screenplay with actor Simon […]
The World’s End has released two new featurettes discussing how the Cornetto Trilogy came to be and another showcasing thoughts and praise of the film’s director Edgar Wright. Also, the film has announced its 2013 San Diego Comic-Con events as well. Without further adieu, I’ll mosey on down to the Winchester and leave it to […]

One of the most compelling heroes ever to step from novel to screen makes his highly-anticipated home entertainment debut when JACK REACHER blasts his way onto Blu-ray, DVD and On Demand on May 7, 2013 from Paramount Home Media Distribution. The film will be available for Digital Download on April 23rd. Tom Cruise tackles the […]
Here’s the thing about Jack Reacher – You have to accept a few things in order to get into the film. For fans of the book series, you will have to accept the physical stature of Tom Cruise. For people who are iffy on Tom Cruise in general, you will have to believe that he […]
I guess the world didn’t have enough with the 2010 redux of Clash of the Titans. That’s a good thing in my opinion. In many ways, especially in the visual effects category, I thoroughly enjoyed the remake much more than the 80’s odyssey. I was young and naïve back then. Heck, back then I thought […]
I think there is a certain amount of humor in the fact that Wrath of the Titans is essentially a take-two on this movie series. Wrath was certainly felt in regards to the 2010 film (which was in no way helped by the 3D that was then used as the key example of bad usage […]
