The latest entertainment news and reviews in 4K UHD, Blu-ray, movies and more…
The year 2022 saw a lot of big films trying to remind you of why you go to the theater as well as plenty of “this is why we love the movies” type films from many of our favorite creators. Sam Mendes put his hat into the ring with the awards hopeful Empire Of Light […]
When it comes to end of the year “Best” (or as I like to say, “Favorite”) lists, many of us looked toward Sam Mendes 1917 as a glaring omission as it had not opened in theaters near our residency. And I’ll be damned if the first time I watch something like this is on an […]

Here it is, my Top Ten Films of 2019! After plenty of viewing and consideration, I have put together my list of year-end favorites. This was another incredible year for film, and having watched around 200 2019 releases theatrically, as well as on various streaming services (though Netflix had another banner year), there was a […]
I have something shameful to admit. I’ve been living with this secret for the longest time and I need to get this off my chest once and for all. Why So Blu writer Brandon Peters is going to be so disappointed in me, but here goes nothing. Up until the point when Daniel Craig took […]
Ask and you shall receive. After three films in the Daniel Craig era of James Bond that each ended with us believing the character had become the Bond of legend, Spectre decides to put its foot down and throw us into a classic adventure with 007. Sure, the film is still playing with a somewhat […]
This past fall, James Bond returned for SPECTRE. The film may not have reached the heights of Skyfall, but it did have everything you’d expect in a Bond film. Daniel Craig returns, along with a number of great actors for this big adventure that puts him on a path to learn some big secrets and of course […]
In the event that you like numbers like I do, try this on for size. Spectre is the twenty-fourth James Bond film. That’s important because twenty four is an even number (also the name of a once great television show) and you can divide it by two. Haha. I have no idea where I’m going […]
Penny Dreadful The Complete First Season is a title that I’m very excited to have received this week to review on Blu-ray. I was able to check out the first episode of Penny Dreadful utilizing Showtime On Demand this summer, but due to my hectic lifestyle and work schedule I was never able to follow up on […]
Announcements have been ruining rampant all day long at Comic-Con, but here’s one I’m quite interested in as I have yet check the full season of this Showtime show out yet. Of course I’m talking about Eva Green and her hit horror series, Penny Dreadful. Don’t be frightened! Penny Dreadful doesn’t come out until October […]
James Bond returns in this 23rd entry in a series that is now celebrating its 50th anniversary. The enduring character has gone through a lot, from secret volcano lairs, to undersea hideouts, to up into outer space. Since Daniel Craig has taken on the role of Bond, the character has since become grounded in a […]
The latest James Bond film, Skyfall, is arriving on Blu-ray this February and I am quite excited for it.

Please except my sincerest apologies for the delay in getting this online review out to you today. You see, I had a completely different review that I’d already written in advance and it was going to serve as a lead in here, but I immediately discarded it after my press screening this past Wednesday evening.
