A Different Kind of Star Wars: An ‘Aliens vs. Predator’ Retrospective – Screenhub Entertainment

These days, it’s hard to think of Aliens vs. Predator without rolling your eyes. The title evokes less than pleasant memories of the 2004 film and its abysmal sequel, films that seemed more like B movie fluff than anything else. But there was a time when Aliens vs. Predator generated a lot of excitement in the fanbase, with titles that were comparable to the films … Continue reading A Different Kind of Star Wars: An ‘Aliens vs. Predator’ Retrospective – Screenhub Entertainment

‘The Predator’ Trades Horror For Humor With Mixed Results – ScreenHub Entertainment

Seeing the original Predator at 12 introduced me to a leaner, meaner kind of movie I hadn’t yet been exposed to. Times were different then. There were only two Predator movies, Aliens vs. Predator hadn’t yet left comics and video games, and sequels were something everyone was clamouring for. Times have changed. Now fans of this series react at best with scepticism when a new … Continue reading ‘The Predator’ Trades Horror For Humor With Mixed Results – ScreenHub Entertainment

Michael Myers is a character shrouded in mystery. Since the original film, little has been revealed about his past or what drives him to do what he does, barring some of the weaker sequels of course. But one thing about Michael that has been concealed for a long time is his face. Wondering what horrors lurk under the pale Captain Kirk mask has fascinated fans … Continue reading See Michael’s Face In 2018’s ‘Halloween’ – ScreenHub Entertainment

Why ‘Aliens’ Didn’t Turn The Monster Into A Space Bug – ScreenHub Entertainment

Though considered a classic, James Cameron’s Aliens isn’t without its critics. A sequel to Alien, one of the most persistent criticisms of Cameron’s film was that it de-mystified the creature. Its approach is said to lack the personality of the original beast, dumbing it down to an unintelligent animal that more closely resembled an insect. While certainly an issue found in various comic book and … Continue reading Why ‘Aliens’ Didn’t Turn The Monster Into A Space Bug – ScreenHub Entertainment

10 Black & White Movies That Are Still Terrifying – ScreenHub Entertainment

Why ‘Predator’ Is A Subversive Masterpiece – ScreenHub Entertainment

Most people don’t think ‘art’ when discussing Predator. The 1987 science fiction classic is fondly remembered for spectacular action, quotable dialogue, and a monster who has joined the ranks of Frankenstein and Dracula as a cultural icon. However, many overlook some of the film’s more subtle underpinnings. Though at a glance the film is just another entry into the 80s cycle of action films, it … Continue reading Why ‘Predator’ Is A Subversive Masterpiece – ScreenHub Entertainment

‘Buffalo Bill Is NOT Transgender’ Claims ‘Silence of the Lambs’ Actor – ScreenHub Entertainment

DISCLAIMER This article was written at a time when I was a lot less wise. When a work of art moves us, it’s hard to imagine that same work may have hurt someone else. In my eagerness to defend Silence of the Lambs, I was not sympathetic towards those who felt threatened by this film. I was wrong to do so and offer my sincere … Continue reading ‘Buffalo Bill Is NOT Transgender’ Claims ‘Silence of the Lambs’ Actor – ScreenHub Entertainment

What Lead To ‘Ash Vs. Evil Dead’ Being Cancelled? – ScreenHub Entertainment

Ash vs. Evil Dead’s cancellation after its third season was a major disappointment to fans. Bruce Campbell’s return to the series that made him a star was big news back in 2015, and the show proved more true to the original trilogy than anyone could have hoped for, featuring many returning cast members, lovingly re-created sets from the first films, buckets of blood and gore and … Continue reading What Lead To ‘Ash Vs. Evil Dead’ Being Cancelled? – ScreenHub Entertainment
