I am a big fan of filmmaker Robert Rodriguez; however, I never quite made the plunge to go and see his “kids” films. While Rodriguez has made some pretty hard R-rated features in his time (Desperado, From Dusk til Dawn, Sin City), he has also let his wild imagination carve himself out a niche in […]
Nominated for ten Academy Awards, this 1976 Best Picture Winner started a franchise that inspired the world. A struggling Philadelphia club fighter (Sylvester Stallone) gets a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to fight for love, glory and self-respect. Featuring a legendary musical score by Bill Conti and thrilling fight sequences, this rousing crowd-pleaser proved to be as much […]
So if I’m such a big Robert Rodriguez fan, then why have I never seen any of these Spy Kids films? I’m not sure of the answer to that one, but that’s all about to change this summer when his high octane kid-friendly franchise makes its way to the Blu-ray format. Yep. That’s right ladies […]
It’s been over fifteen years since Judge Dredd graced the big screen and brought Sylvester Stallone’s career to a screeching halt. Up to that point, Judge Dredd was Stallone’s biggest film in terms of scope and budget and it bombed hard in the U.S. Was it really that bad? It all depends on who you […]
Another year has come and almost gone, leaving in its wake, many Blu-rays littered about. Some good, some not so good. In what will be an ongoing tradition, WhySoBlu has asked for my thoughts on the best Blu-rays of the year. The following article is MY personal top ten favorite Blu-rays of 2010 for your […]
One of my favorite moments at Comic-Con was undoubtedly when I got to see my childhood hero, Sylvester Stallone, promote his newest film, The Expendables, to the 6,000+ packed and captivated audience in Hall H (see here). Well, it gives me great happiness in sharing the press release I received from Lionsgate in my inbox […]
Leading up to the release of The Expendables, the main joy came from the fact that Sylvester Stallone had managed to pull together a ton of action stars, from multiple decades, all in for one seemingly cheesy action movie. While the film certainly delivered in that respect, I found the overall result to be more […]
I think when every red-blooded male heard that Sylvester Stallone was putting together a film that contained some of the most popular action stars from the 80’s and today, they got all googly-eyed as if they had just seen the gates of cinema heaven. I should know. I was one of them. It wasn’t long […]
This was the panel I came to San Diego for. If there was one Comic-Con 2010 panel I was not going to miss, it was this one. It would be the chance for me to see my favorite childhood action hero in real life, Slyvester Stallone, and I was not going to miss it for […]
I’m an unabashed Sylvester Stallone fan especially when it comes to the Rocky and Rambo movies. Back in the 80s he was in top form but towards the end of the decade, I noticed the quality of his movies were starting to go down starting with Cobra and then continuing on with movies like Stop! […]
Rambo, Rambo: The Extended Cut, Rambo IV, John Rambo or whatever you want to call it is Sylvester Stallone’s follow-up, some 20 years later, to the successful Rambo franchise of the 80’s. Unlike its predecessor, this film kicks a$$ in all four of my major action/war critical requirements: realism/believability, brutality, heart pounding action sequences and […]
It seems like only yesterday when I reported the speculation that the Rambo Extended Cut Blu-ray would be coming soon. I never knew I would be reporting this so quick, but Lionsgate Home Entertainment has just announced a July 27th release date. The extended cut will feature 9 minutes of extra footage and nearly 90 […]
I’m kind of sad to be reporting this news. It seems my boy Sylvester Stallone won’t be doing a Rambo 5 after all. It’s a shame, but I can be understanding too. Surprised? Yeah, so am I. After the way Rambo 4 ended, it kind of seemed weird that he would return for another adventure. […]
Welcome to another late night edition of The Daily Blu. Today we find ourselves with an early retail announcement from Universal declaring that the Keira Knightley and James McAvoy drama Atonement will hit Blu-ray shelves on January 26th. So, are you ready for another Keira Knightley Blu-ray announcement? Apparently, Universal did not feel one Keira […]
I am pleased to announce…(insert drum roll)…all six knockout Rocky films in brilliant high definition together for the first time. Rocky: The Undisputed Collection features the Blu-ray premieres of Rocky II, Rocky III, Rocky IV and Rocky V. The collection includes a fully-loaded bonus disc with over two hours of exclusive content in one extraordinary […]
There’s not too much going on in the world of Blu-ray today. Besides the press release I received from Fox today detailing the October 27th Blu-ray release of Ice Age 3 Dawn of the Dinosaurs, all I have is one other Blu-ray release to mention. Starz/Anchor Bay has announced plans to bring the thriller Not Forgotten […]
