‘Napoleon’ Fact or Fiction – ScreenHub Entertainment

Napoleon is finally out and…it’s okay. Part of the problem with Ridley Scott’s latest is how often it strays from the historical text. Scott has cited we weren’t there to analyze history firsthand, but many who were alive during the Napoleonic Wars did document their lives via journals or memoirs, including Napoleon himself. So I wanted to look at some, not all, of the deviations … Continue reading ‘Napoleon’ Fact or Fiction – ScreenHub Entertainment

Ridley Scott’s ‘Napoleon’ Is A Beautiful Mess – ScreenHub Entertainment

Ridley Scott is one of those directors whose filmography is a hodgepodge of cinematic masterpieces, mediocre thuds and embarrassing misfires. He excels at making historical epics, as evidenced by films such as Gladiator, Kingdom of Heaven (the director’s cut) and The Last Duel. So naturally, I was pretty damn excited for Napoleon, his biopic on the Corsian military general turned Emperor. But when word broke … Continue reading Ridley Scott’s ‘Napoleon’ Is A Beautiful Mess – ScreenHub Entertainment

David Ayer’s Bleak WWII Film ‘Fury’ Isn’t Perfect, But Is A Compelling Watch – ScreenHub Entertainment

War is hell, so the expression goes, but it’s also emotionally draining, psychologically damaging and full of horror. Netflix’s All Quiet on the Western Front captured this sentiment perfectly for the First World War and David Ayer’s tank epic Fury brings all those themes into the Second World War. For my money, 2014’s Fury is one of the most violent, unsettling and horror-fuel war films, … Continue reading David Ayer’s Bleak WWII Film ‘Fury’ Isn’t Perfect, But Is A Compelling Watch – ScreenHub Entertainment
