‘300’ Changed A Whole Genre; For Better or For Worse – ScreenHub Entertainment

Up until now, my retrospective on the historical epics, of the late 90s and early 2000s, including the likes of Gladiator and Troy, felt very dramatic and practical; tangible recreations of history with lavish sets, costumes and tons of extras. Controversial director Zack Snyder came around with his 2006 adaptation of Frank Miller’s seminal graphic novel 300. Instead of megasets and tons of extras, a … Continue reading ‘300’ Changed A Whole Genre; For Better or For Worse – ScreenHub Entertainment

What Made ‘Gladiator’ A Big Deal? – ScreenHub Entertainment

Ridley Scott’s Gladiator premiered in 2000 and changed cinema, for better or worse. But why did it have such a massive impact on audiences and Hollywood studios in subsequent years? As we inch towards the release of Gladiator II later this year, we thought now was a good time to look back on the original film and its lasting legacy. It’s always daunting writing editorials … Continue reading What Made ‘Gladiator’ A Big Deal? – ScreenHub Entertainment

For All Its Faults, ‘Troy’ Is A Fun Movie, Despite Being A Terrible Adaptation of ‘The Illiad’ – ScreenHub Entertainment

As it stands, the 2004 epic Troy currently sits at a 54% average on Rotten Tomatoes and a 56 on Metacritic. It was made in the wake of the insanely popular film Gladiator, but failed to capture the lightning in a bottle the same way Ridley Scott’s epic did. It doesn’t help that Brad Pitt actually was pretty vocal about his time on Troy as … Continue reading For All Its Faults, ‘Troy’ Is A Fun Movie, Despite Being A Terrible Adaptation of ‘The Illiad’ – ScreenHub Entertainment

‘Dune: Part Two’ Spoiler-Free Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

There was a good dozen times while watching Dune: Part Two that I thought to myself, “How does this movie even exist?” That’s not a slight, but the highest of compliments. Director Denis Villeneuve has somehow outdone himself on this one, delivering a movie that feels massive in scope, yet intimate and personal in its story. It feels like a big step forward from both … Continue reading ‘Dune: Part Two’ Spoiler-Free Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

The ‘Kingdom of Heaven’ Director’s Cut Elevates The Original Movie – ScreenHub Entertainment

There’s been a lot of talk of director’s cuts lately. Ridley Scott has been touting a four-hour cut of Napolon coming this year and Zack Snyder is preparing R-rated director cuts for both parts of Rebel Moon. So that got me thinking of what must be one of the best director’s cuts ever assembled. Back when it was initially released in 2005, Kingdom of Heaven was a … Continue reading The ‘Kingdom of Heaven’ Director’s Cut Elevates The Original Movie – ScreenHub Entertainment

The Ideal Directors to Helm James Bond 26 – ScreenHub Entertainment

It’s now been more than two years since the biddings around the next James Bond movie officially started. After No Time to Die ran in theatres in the fall of 2021, co-producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson from EON Studios told the press that it would be a while before they start working on a new movie. Considering the amount of work that goes … Continue reading The Ideal Directors to Helm James Bond 26 – 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

“The Killer” Spoiler-Free Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

BE ADVISED – This movie can so easily go unnoticed for what it really is while you’re scrolling on Netflix on a quiet evening, so stay alert! Although the title and overall marketing assets may suggest this is another generic action romp that the streamer has produced, The Killer is actually the work of one of the few masters of suspense cinema we have left … Continue reading “The Killer” Spoiler-Free Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

‘Dial of Destiny’ is Indiana Jones At His Most Human – ScreenHub Entertainment

When thinking about films that had the biggest impact on me this year, I honestly wasn’t expecting Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny to make the list. Still, this latest and supposedly final adventure for the hapless archeologist won me over very quickly, and even after three viewings there’s always something new to enjoy. Though not without its flaws, the film is rich with … Continue reading ‘Dial of Destiny’ is Indiana Jones At His Most Human – ScreenHub Entertainment
