‘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

‘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

‘1408’ is a Forgotten Horror Gem – ScreenHub Entertainment

I have always had an odd fascination with horror stories where the villain is not an imposing slasher or a monstrous beast, but rather a place. The idea of a malevolent intelligence simply existing in a space is a fairly rare theme in film. Some notable examples are Poltergeist and Event Horizon, and one more that seems to have been forgotten over the years. The … Continue reading ‘1408’ is a Forgotten Horror Gem – ScreenHub Entertainment

‘Rebel Moon: A Child of Fire’ Spoiler-Free Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

I feel when talking about Zack Snyder, it’s best to lay the cards on the table from the get-go. I’m indifferent to his work overall, some of his films I quite enjoy, such as 300 and his cut of Justice League, others I’m left wanting on, such as Man of Steel and Army of the Dead, nevermind Sucker Punch. So I went into Rebel Moon … Continue reading ‘Rebel Moon: A Child of Fire’ Spoiler-Free Review – ScreenHub Entertainment
