Founded in September 2008, Project-Blu aims to be the go-to source for Blu-ray information, reviews, and deals. Our focus is for the everyday person on a budget, in addition to those who want the best of everything.
Founded in September 2008 by Nate Boss and Randell Gresham, Project-Blu started by providing information on pre-orders as well as reviewing movies that were often overlooked by the "big guys." Years later, Project-Blu has grown tremendously. Along the way we've added staff and we've added function, all while shifting the focus from niche titles to now being the go-to source for everything Blu-ray.
Currently, we reside in what we call Project-Blu v4, the fourth stage in Project-Blu's evolution. Part of that evolution was to expand our horizon by creating an easier site to navigate, adding more articles, and covering high-definition gaming content. All these features are great, but we're not done yet. We have dedicated staff that continues to beef up Project-Blu to bring you more of the greatest and latest.
Remember, Project-Blu is 'for the people, by the people' and we continue to take that motto very seriously.

| Every site needs a ranting, raving lunatic...no, wait, they don't, but this site has one! Nate is the co-founder of Project: Blu, a Blu-ray/Video Game/DVD/Book reviewer, an avid Call of Duty player, an opinionated jerk, and most importantly...the owner of one of the most perturbed senses of humor out there. Nate hates blockbuster summer movies, loves World War II films, and thinks that awful films should be looked at as comedies. |

| Science teacher by day, movie reviewer by night, Jamie brings years of movie watching/reviewing experience to Project-Blu. Jamie has always loved movies, his thought is who doesn't?
Well a few years ago Jamie decided to look past the popcorn and began looking deeper into what Hollywood was giving us. He first started writing for intotheblu.com and then transitioned over here, to Project-Blu.
"I've always felt Project-Blu was a better fit for me, as our reviews always come off as 'real.' In other words, we truely aim to touch base with the general viewer." |
