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

First Thoughts on ‘Alien: Earth’ – ScreenHub Entertainment

To say it has been an interesting few years for the Alien franchise would be an understatement. After a brief period of relative silence, broken only by the occasional comic, novel or video game, the series has not only returned to the big screen with Alien: Romulus, but made its television debut with the FX series Alien: Earth. Set before the events of Alien (1979), … Continue reading First Thoughts on ‘Alien: Earth’ – ScreenHub Entertainment

A Look Back at Spielberg’s ‘War of the Worlds’ – ScreenHub Entertainment

When looking back on films of the early to mid-2000s, Steven Spielberg’s War of the Worlds tends to get lost in the shuffle. An unusually dark outing for the iconic director, War of the Worlds did make a killing at the box office, but like many Blockbusters of the era, interest was quickly followed by ridicule, and the film has since been regarded as one … Continue reading A Look Back at Spielberg’s ‘War of the Worlds’ – ScreenHub Entertainment

‘Twisters’ and the Magic of Effects Done Well – ScreenHub Entertainment

For those who came of age after the early 90s, it can be hard to understand just how groundbreaking CGI was to audiences at the time. And one of the biggest champions of that revolution was the 1996 film, Twister. Though the film was met with a decidedly chilly reception at the time of its release, it was a major hit for audiences, smashing the … Continue reading ‘Twisters’ and the Magic of Effects Done Well – ScreenHub Entertainment
