Home Alone’s Themes & How Home Alone 2 Missed Them – ScreenHub Entertainment

As I type this opening sentence, I can’t help but hear the collective groan of my readership when talking about the ‘themes’ of Home Alone. What could possibly be thoughtful about a 90s family comedy? The thing about big hits is often, sometimes unintentionally, they explore ideas that resonate with viewers in a way that makes the film last. Home Alone is such a film, … Continue reading Home Alone’s Themes & How Home Alone 2 Missed Them – ScreenHub Entertainment

But before we start cracking out those Christmas specials and hunting for those bargains, we come to the 11th of November. The day goes by different names depending on where you come from, such as Remembrance Day or Veteran’s Day, but the gist is the same: remembering those who gave their … Continue reading ‘Band of Brothers’ Is Essential Viewing – ScreenHub Entertainment

‘The Last Duel’ Bombed At The Box Office, But Why? – ScreenHub Entertainment

Update: director Ridley Scott has given his reasoning behind the box office failure of The Last Duel. While sitting down with Marc Maron’s WTF podcast, he cited that contrary to belief, he thought that Disney marketed the film quite well. I’ll still disagree with him on that statement and stick with my original statement. As a consumer, I thought the marketing was atrocious. So why … Continue reading ‘The Last Duel’ Bombed At The Box Office, But Why? – ScreenHub Entertainment

NYCC 2021: A Return to Live Events – ScreenHub Entertainment

Written with help from Tom Tormey New York Comic Con took place this past weekend and, for the fifteen consecutive year, I was in attendance. Conventions of this size are rare in New York these days so, when they come around, it’s always a major event. However, like any con, regardless of size and media attention, there are always laudable aspects and areas of need … Continue reading NYCC 2021: A Return to Live Events – ScreenHub Entertainment

Sweet & Sour Nightmares: Race and Exploitation in the Original ‘Candyman’

Horror stories began as fables meant to warn us of life’s dangers, or a means to confront that which scares us most. As a modern fable, 1992’s Candyman is among the most effective. What at first seems to be a straightforward supernatural slasher film instead manages to weave its thrills with a powerful dose of social commentary dealing with themes of poverty, classism and racism … Continue reading Sweet & Sour Nightmares: Race and Exploitation in the Original ‘Candyman’

What Happened To The Modern Iteration of 3D Cinema? – ScreenHub Entertainment

Three-dimensional movies have been a thing for almost as long as cinema has existed. It has taken on various forms throughout the decades, from stroboscopic animation in the late 19th century to the first 3D film shown to an audience in 1922, The Power of Love. Many of you may even remember the green and red anaglyph glasses that use to be needed to experience … Continue reading What Happened To The Modern Iteration of 3D Cinema? – ScreenHub Entertainment

Why ‘Ghostbusters’ Was A Horror Movie – ScreenHub Entertainment

Since Ghostbusters was released over 30 years ago, many — including its original creators — have tried to recapture its spirit (pun intended) in sequels, remakes and other forms of media such as comics to video games. While many of these enjoyed success, they didn’t quite reach the heights of the original. Just why is this? The answer is as simple as it is unexpected. … Continue reading Why ‘Ghostbusters’ Was A Horror Movie – ScreenHub Entertainment

How ‘Jurassic Park’ Respects Death – ScreenHub Entertainment

We recently wrote about the horror roots of Jurassic Park and I wanted to expand upon that idea by diving into something else that’s unique to the first film in this dino franchise. That of course is how Steven Spielberg’s 1993 original film respects and dives into death, while subsequent sequels, including and especially the Jurassic World films, all but disregard this important factor. Classic … Continue reading How ‘Jurassic Park’ Respects Death – ScreenHub Entertainment

Has ‘Once Upon A Time…In Hollywood’ Improved With Age? – ScreenHub Entertainment

I liked Quentin Tarantino’s ninth movie, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood quite a bit when it came out. It made my top ten of the year, clocking in at number eight. Yet despite this, I didn’t leave the cinema loving the movie. I thought it was on the lower end of Tarantino’s filmography. Yet there was something different with this movie than anything that … Continue reading Has ‘Once Upon A Time…In Hollywood’ Improved With Age? – ScreenHub Entertainment
