The Art of a Good Film Trailer – ScreenHub Entertainment

In the darkened corridors of a ship in space, a woman runs, electrical tones scream, and lights flash and glare in an uncomfortable strobing effect that overwhelms the senses. The visions get quicker and more chaotic, to the point that you can’t see what’s happening, but you can feel something. Feel something almost primordial. Whatever is happening, it’s violent. And just when you can’t bear … Continue reading The Art of a Good Film Trailer – ScreenHub Entertainment

How ‘Zootopia 2’ Explores Cultural Theft – ScreenHub Entertainment

When it comes to finding good allegory, one of the best places to look is the medium of animation. The films of Studio Ghibli contain many themes detailing the need for environmental awareness and care, for instance. Films from Disney deal with such mature themes of loss and growing older. Just look at anything from Inside Out to Bambi. Disney’s latest tentpole franchise, Zootopia, is … Continue reading How ‘Zootopia 2’ Explores Cultural Theft – ScreenHub Entertainment

Red Dawn: The Cult Classic That Became a Symbol of Resistance in Ukraine – ScreenHub Entertainment

It has been several years since the war in Ukraine began. The country is not the same. It is wounded. Streets once filled with people are now empty, save the occasional husk of burned-out military equipment, destroyed in battles that, for the people of Ukraine, are still frighteningly fresh. And yet on some of these burned-out husks are scrawled spray-painted messages. It’s a single, curious … Continue reading Red Dawn: The Cult Classic That Became a Symbol of Resistance in Ukraine – ScreenHub Entertainment

The Latest ‘Anaconda’ Is a Mixed Bag of Missed Opportunities And Genuine Laughs – ScreenHub Entertainment

A comedic reimagining of a more straight-faced story isn’t anything new. You can take an above-average B-movie like Little Shop of Horrors and turn it into a big-budget musical spectacle, or you can take a genuinely chilling movie like The Stepford Wives and maybe lean so heavily into the satire that it loses its edge in a remake. The 2025 remake of Anaconda falls somewhere … Continue reading The Latest ‘Anaconda’ Is a Mixed Bag of Missed Opportunities And Genuine Laughs – ScreenHub Entertainment

Stranger Things Ends a Flawed But Formative Adventure – ScreenHub Entertainment

When Stranger Things first premiered, I was living in California, still had a few more years in my 20s, and was working actively to achieve my dreams. A lot had changed in my life since then. I’d moved back to the Midwest, and now my 30s are racing towards the finish line. I’d changed a lot, and so had Stranger Things. For those who have … Continue reading Stranger Things Ends a Flawed But Formative Adventure – ScreenHub Entertainment

‘Predator: Badlands’ and How The Monsters Become the Stars – ScreenHub Entertainment

I took a trip last Friday to the local theater to see the latest installment in the Predator franchise. This latest entry, from the director of the stellar Prey, already had my interest. But Predator: Badlands represented something different than just another sequel. Rather, it was the realization of a dream that little twelve-year-old me had from the moment I fell in love with this … Continue reading ‘Predator: Badlands’ and How The Monsters Become the Stars – ScreenHub Entertainment

Schwarzenegger’s ‘Running Man’ Isn’t the Book, But… – ScreenHub Entertainment

When it comes to adaptations, Stephen King himself has mixed opinions on how some of his works have made it to the big screen. One such film he has less than charitable views on is the original adaptation of The Running Man, a downbeat King writing as Richard Bachman book that was brought to screen as a bombastic crowd pleaser starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. So yeah, … Continue reading Schwarzenegger’s ‘Running Man’ Isn’t the Book, But… – ScreenHub Entertainment

Alien: Earth’s Odd But Interesting Use of the Alien – ScreenHub Entertainment

When the Alien prequels were released about a decade ago now, I wasn’t exactly a fan. To me, sidelining the monster in favor of the story of David 8 seemed a disservice to what came before. Why was it so hard to do a smart, stylish monster movie in the spirit of the original trilogy? So, needless to say, had Alien: Earth been released around … Continue reading Alien: Earth’s Odd But Interesting Use of the Alien – ScreenHub Entertainment

Why I Loved the Finale to ‘YOU’ – ScreenHub Entertainment

When it comes to television, there are few characters I despise so utterly as Joe Goldberg. The protagonist of Netflix’ You, played superbly by Penn Badgley, is a self obsessed serial killer who views himself as a misunderstood romantic. Not since Walter White have I hated a character so completely as Joe Goldberg, which is why I absolutely love the series finale to You. Because … Continue reading Why I Loved the Finale to ‘YOU’ – ScreenHub Entertainment
