“When their father passes away, four grown siblings bruised and banged up by their respective adult live are forced to return to their childhood home and live under the same roof.” Looking at it from that angle one would say that it makes for some awkwardness but when you see who the cast of characters […]
When their father passes away, four grown siblings, bruised and banged up by their respective adult lives, are forced to return to their childhood home and live under the same roof together for a week, along with their over-sharing mother and an assortment of spouses, exes and might-have-beens. Confronting their history and the frayed states […]
This is Where I Leave You is the kind of film that walks the line between being aware it is not treading new ground, but still wants to make you happy, based on all the talented actors involved, and treating its subject matter in a more serious manner. It is a film featuring characters that are […]
In lesser hands, Neighbors could have been an easily forgettable mess of a film, with talented comedic performers simply going through the motions of a ‘versus’-type comedy. The thing that separates a film like this from whatever junk a company like Happy Madison Productions tends to put out in theaters these days is the attempt […]
Christmas is looking better and better this year! Not only will I be in a warmer climate for the holiday season this year, but I will also have one of my favorite horror movies this year in tow too when Insidious: Chapter 2 comes home to Blu-ray on Christmas Eve. What a great present or […]
I can’t help it, but I’m a firm believer that once you strike gold…DON’T be greedy. I hold that same belief when it comes to 2011’s Insidious (as you can see from my love and praise of it over here). The movie was a fresh of breath air for the horror genre and despite it’s […]
It stands to reason that Insidious Chapter 2 exists. The first film became a sleeper hit, as director James Wan and writer Leigh Whannel (the creators of Saw) combined forces with the producers of Paranormal Activity, Oren Peli and Jason Blum, to make a sufficiently scary horror film. Insidious was a spooky film that twisted […]
Insidious certainly caused a stir for us at Why So Blu?, as I know that Brian, Gerard. and myself, at the very least, were big fans of the 2010 horror film that ended up being a huge success. Director James Wan is certainly a busy guy these days, with his latest film The Conjuring arriving […]
One would have thought that following the box office success of Wedding Crashers, Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson would have teamed up again sooner in an effort to ride on top of that momentum. Especially given that instead of doing a redundant sequel to a film, they have instead come up with a new premise […]
I recently watched Blue Valentine for the first time. This was the 2010 anti-romance/drama that first brought together writer/director Derek Cianfrance and star Ryan Gosling. There was a lot of good to be found in that film, particularly from co-star Michelle Williams, but the film was not without its issues. That said, Cianfrance left a […]
Bridesmaids was certainly something different and really funny. Not only did I enjoy Kristin Wiig’s roundhouse performance, I enjoyed the script written by her along with two other cast members. Men, don’t be fooled; Bridesmaids is a film for guys and girls alike that has enough wit and humor throughout to keep it entertaining. The […]
So the summer movie season has come to an end, but that does not mean us here at Why So Blu can’t have one last hurrah. With such an assortment of different films that came out this past summer (a particularly crowded one, which benefited from having a lot of good crowd pleasers to offer), […]
X-Men: First Class is the official first chapter in the X-Men film universe. One could even say that the film is a reboot of sorts, but that may or may not be stretching it a bit. A very cool cast has been assembled to take on the roles of earlier character versions in this latest […]
The gruesome twosome in the horror world known as director James Wan (Saw, Death Sentence, Dead Silence) and writer Leigh Whannel (Saw, Dead Silence) have come back to wreak havoc with their latest horror film Insidious. On this journey into darkness fans will have to bite their tongues, because Insidious is a PG-13 venture. Yeah, […]
Adding to the list of exciting comic films that are coming out during the packed summer of 2011, we now have the latest entry in the X-Men film franchise. I find X-Men films to be among the tougher comic book properties to make into films, as it involves the use of an ensemble cast and […]
Bridesmaids is a very funny movie. It is not because it tries to make chick flicks “cool” by adding a raunchy side so guys can laugh too. It is also not because I feel I need to support this film for the sake of making women feel appreciated. That is all bogus. This movie is […]
I think perception plays a key role when one makes a decision about going to see a horror film. While I would not say I am a snob when it comes to horror films, I do consider myself pretty choosy about which ones I see, especially when it comes down to what the film is […]
I’ve been keeping both eyes on the latest project from Saw creators James Wan and Leigh Whannell for quite a while now. Insidious looks to be their latest most twisted creation to date. Shot on a reported 1 million dollar budget, it looks to scare up audiences just like the first Saw film did back […]
