‘Cocaine Bear’ is Frantic, Drug-Fueled Fun – ScreenHub Entertainment

During the early days of film studios in the United States, one of the things that put Universal Studios on the map was its monsters movies. Frankenstein, The Wolf Man, The Mummy, Creature from the Black Lagoon, all of these greats were born in the studio, and arguably were the force that helped make it what it is today. In the years since, many other … Continue reading ‘Cocaine Bear’ is Frantic, Drug-Fueled Fun – ScreenHub Entertainment

‘Puss In Boots: The Last Wish’ Stands Alone and Proud -ScreenHub Entertainment

We live in a strange cinematic era. Superhero movies are the top box office draw these days, mega blockbusters are commonplace and some of the most imaginative content out there seems more likely to appear on the small screen than the large one. In such an environment, legacy sequels to beloved franchises are something to be expected, but something has changed since the 80s and … Continue reading ‘Puss In Boots: The Last Wish’ Stands Alone and Proud -ScreenHub Entertainment

WARNING! The Following article contains ‘spoilers.’ If you’re planning on seeing the film, please do so before reading.

‘Violent Night’ An Odd But Fitting Balance of Sadism and Sentimentality – ScreenHub Entertainment

In the opening scenes of Richard Donner’s Christmas comedy Scrooged, a trailer for a fake Christmas TV film plays depicting terrorists seizing Santa’s workshop, forcing Santa to become an action hero with the help of The Six Million Dollar Man’s Lee Majors. The fake film, aptly titled The Night the Reindeer Died might have seemed like nothing more than a joke afterthought at the time. … Continue reading ‘Violent Night’ An Odd But Fitting Balance of Sadism and Sentimentality – ScreenHub Entertainment

Why Michael is Still the Main Villain in ‘Halloween Ends’ – ScreenHub Entertainment

Many view the departure from previous entries as clumsy and unappealing with the bulk of the criticism centered around the portrayal of series antagonist Michael Myers. Many view his underplayed portrayal as him being relegated to a secondary character with Corey Cunningham serving as the main villain. As a die-hard fan of Carpenter’s original classic, … Continue reading Why Michael is Still the Main Villain in ‘Halloween Ends’ – ScreenHub Entertainment

‘Halloween Ends’ A Unique & Daring Finale To Green’s Trilogy

Since its release, John Carpenter’s Halloween has been the gold standard by which all other slashers are judged. Despite decades of attempts, very few slashers have matched the craftsmanship or reputation of the original classic, and few have suffered as much unfavorable comparisons as Halloween’s own sequels. Perhaps that’s why, to close out his new trilogy of Halloween films, director David Gordon Green asked why … Continue reading ‘Halloween Ends’ A Unique & Daring Finale To Green’s Trilogy

‘Beast’ Is A Refreshingly Restrained Thriller – ScreenHub Entertainment

One of the things I really miss in modern movies are moderately budgeted films. There was a time when films with budgets of over 100 million were a rarity, much less seeing multiple such films churned out year after year. While one must congratulate studios who were able to perfect such a formula and keep it going for fifteen years now, it has come at … Continue reading ‘Beast’ Is A Refreshingly Restrained Thriller – ScreenHub Entertainment

‘Prey’ Is A Sleek, Brutal Monster Western – ScreenHub Entertainment

When it comes to science fiction/horror, few franchises are both as beloved and spotty as the Predator series. Starting in 1987, the alien hunter has since made seven visits to the cinema, and none have garnered as much acclaim as the original suspenseful classic. By all accounts, the Predator franchise has been dead in the water for some time, so I was skeptical when a … Continue reading ‘Prey’ Is A Sleek, Brutal Monster Western – ScreenHub Entertainment
