Shout! Factory has announced the August 11 Blu-ray release of horror master Wes Craven’s The People Under The Stairs (Collector’s Edition). The Scream Factory treatment of this much-loved film includes several new bonus features. This terrifying journey from the director of A Nightmare on Elm Street and Scream takes you inside a demented house. Trapped […]
Being a fair-weather fan of the Mission: Impossible series I must admit one thing, this summer’s newest entry looks like a hoot! So here we are folks. This is the reason Scott Mendelson of Forbes woke up today. Ladies and gentlemen I present to you the first look at the fifth entry in the Mission: […]
Take the “Booo!” in the title as either the ghostly scare sound or the hoards of fanboys’ reactions when something gets remade. Over the last 15 years or so we’ve seen plenty of reboots, reimaginings and remakes come to fruition throughout each film going year. The horror genre has certainly been the genre the most […]
Now, this is what you call a fast turnaround. The film with which I’m about to give you a Blu-ray review has had a Surviving Christmas like run. Jamesy Boy debuted on the internet (streaming services, I presume) in early January. The film then had a theatrical run that started January 17th. And now, here […]
Coming at you next month, from Phase 4 Films and XLrator Media is JAMESY BOY. This true story features notable acting vets James Woods, Mary Louise-Parker and Ving Rhames. It also sports the little Farmiga (Taissa) and a Black Eyed Pea (because everybody loves them). This seems to be the tale of a street thug […]
The man won’t do an Expendables movie, but he’ll be the first in line for middle of the road DTV movies. This is probably because he wants the lead. He is Steven Seagal. A once, I think it’s fair to say “fad” action star in the 90s who had never was able to rekindle the […]
Anchor Bay Films is bringing an all new action film pitting together Steven Seagal, Ving Rhames and Danny Trejo on December 17th. This synopsis sounds all sorts of crazy. Seagal is playing an old school mob boss and Danny Trejo the leader of a cartel. The film seems like its going to follow martial arts […]
This summer Walt Disney Studios treats audiences to two animated comedies about bringing friends and family together even when they seem worlds apart in one fun Lilo and Stitch 2-movie collection. Available June 11, 2013 for the first time on Blu-ray with great picture and sound quality, the Lilo & Stitch and Lilo & Stitch 2: […]
Well I did not think I would be writing a review that would come to the defense of Piranha 3D, but its god-awful sequel Piranha 3DD certainly necessitates some attempt to separate the two. While one may scoff at the 2010 horror-remake, that film at least knew how to deliver on almost every level that […]
A pair of low-rent hit men, Vincent Vega (John Travolta) and Jules Winnfield (Samuel L. Jackson), are sent out to collect a stolen briefcase for their mob boss employer, Marsellus Wallace (Ving Rhames). Having proven himself worthy, Wallace then entrusts Vincent to entertain his wife, Mia (Uma Thurman), while he is out of town. Meanwhile, […]
I have never seen the original 1978 Piranha film, but much to my surprise, my wife has. She has seen it many times as she told me. I don’t know. It must be a cultural thing. So anyway, I guess that’s why she was so anxious to check this one out in the theater many […]
Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the “Blu” water. LOL. The re-imagining of the classic Piranha movie was one I did not think I would enjoy, but after all the positive critic buzz I just had to check it out. Sure enough, I LOVED every minute of it! I […]
The sequel to the last remake of Death Race will arrive this January! If you enjoy hardcore vehicular mayhem you will enjoy this series. While none of the stars of the last movie will appear in this one, it does boast some notable names such as Sean Bean, Danny Trejo, Ving Rhams, and Luke Goss. […]
There was a time when this film was threatened with the possibility of not being released, only to later be threatened with having a release, but not a 3D release. Fortunately enough, the powers at be made it possible for this film to be release as intended, thus preserving its artistic integrity. Anyway, there is […]
Why So Blu might just make it a habit of reviewing imports now, because once we start, we can’t stop! Continuing on the import train, we now bring you The Tournament which has not received an official Blu-ray release in the states other than the standard DVD through The Weinstein Company. I actually found out […]
I never really know how I feel about these straight-to-DVD or Blu-ray titles. However, I feel a bit optimistic about Death Race 2 considering it is being produced by Paul W.S. Anderson and has some pretty impressive names attached to it. I guess it could go either way. I am kind of disappointed it is a prequel […]
