Midway is a movie that director Roland Emmerich has been trying to make since the days of Godzilla. Back then, the powers that be weren’t so keen on seeing a remake of a forgettable 70’s film about a huge battle in World War II. Coming back to now, and we have the long-imagined film. The […]

This past winter gave us the latest film from Martin Scorsese. Silence garnered strong reviews and made a number of top ten lists, but was not able to find much of an audience in theaters or score any major awards, beyond an Oscar nomination for Best Cinematography. That’s not necessarily unexpected, but I do expect […]

Martin Scorsese has never backed away from involving religion in his films. We’ve seen overt attempts to tackle his perception of certain topics like in The Last Temptation of Christ. There have also been instances where his characters are given extra dimensions based on their religion, like with Mean Streets. Silence is a strong push […]

47 Ronin is an enjoyable hybrid period action/fantasy movie that was much better than I was expecting. Granted I am generally pretty satisfied with Keanu Reeves action movies, but a lot of the surprise came from how different this very expensive movie played out. Along with putting the money on screen, this is a film […]

Before I begin I have to be honest with you all. I forgot how awesome the first Thor movie really was until I revisited it this past weekend, finally being able to unwind and watch a Blu-ray in my new house. Anyway, the first Thor is a big ball of fun, in my opinion, and […]

The mighty Thor returns to the big screen this November, but right now we have the first trailer. We at Why So Blu disagree about the merit of a lot of movies, but Thor seemed to be the film that we could all agree was good (some argue great). Now Thor 2: Still Thor is […]

The trickiest thing about writing a review for Battleship, the film based on the popular board game, which now pits Tim Riggins of Mars against a fleet of aliens that challenge the Navy to deadly war games…or something, is capturing why I did not really care for the film as much as I did other, […]

It has been an extremely busy year for comic book based films, and we’re still not done yet; Captain America, I’m looking at you! Before we get to the Cap’n, we’ve got to get to the God of Thunder himself; Thor! I need to preface this review by stating that I received the full 3-D […]
