‘Conclave’ Spoiler-Free Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

Despite not being a practicing Catholic, I must admit some level of bizarre fascination with the history and politics of the Church. So when I learned that there was to be a cinematic adaptation of Robert Harris’ 2016 novel Conclave, I was intrigued. Having already read the book, I knew this movie would likely ruffle a lot of feathers. And while the ending will most … Continue reading ‘Conclave’ Spoiler-Free Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

Dune: Prophecy Episode 1 ‘The Hidden Hand’ Spoiler Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

With the conclusion of The Penguin on HBO last week, we usher in a new series that’s also an offshoot of a Warner product. But where the exploits of Oz Cobb sunk its hooks into me in no small part to its stellar writing and top-notch performances, Dune: Prophecy stumbles with its first of six episodes, thanks largely to an inconsistent script and uninteresting characters. … Continue reading Dune: Prophecy Episode 1 ‘The Hidden Hand’ Spoiler Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

The Penguin Finale: ‘A Great or Little Thing’ Spoiler Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

The Penguin’s finale wrapped up a lot of the plot points of this TV mini-series while also serving as something of a jumping off point for the upcoming film, The Batman Part II. It was brutal, sad, and once again, full of great performances. I still question elements of this show, that being said, but overall, had a great time watching it. Despite being taken … Continue reading The Penguin Finale: ‘A Great or Little Thing’ Spoiler Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

The Penguin Episode Seven: ‘Top Hat’ Spoiler Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

The Penguin slides into its penultimate episode with a flashback-heavy episode, this time focusing on the early childhood of one Ozwald Cobb while simultaneously pushing the present-day narrative forward in an explosive way. It made for a shorter-than-usual episode, but one that still hinged on great writing and acting, with a brutal revelation early on. We’ve heard about Oz’s two brothers throughout The Penguin and … Continue reading The Penguin Episode Seven: ‘Top Hat’ Spoiler Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

The Penguin Episode Six: ‘Gold Summit’ Spoiler Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

Episode six of The Penguin was one of those episodes that pushed the plot forward in more character-driven moments, while also setting the stage for the end of the season. The show featured some kind of time jump, as Oz’s Bliss empire has grown quite a bit, but I have a feeling dark days are ahead for Gotham’s new supplier. While dealing with Bliss and … Continue reading The Penguin Episode Six: ‘Gold Summit’ Spoiler Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

‘Scream 2 ‘ Is A Great Self-Aware Sequel – ScreenHub Entertainment

I’m keeping this spoiler-free in case you’ve never seen Scream 2. It seems like just yesterday that it was the 25th anniversary of Scream, one of my favourite horror films of all time. The success of that film naturally spawned a sequel that came out one year later and considering Halloween is upon us, it seems like a good time as any to talk about … Continue reading ‘Scream 2 ‘ Is A Great Self-Aware Sequel – ScreenHub Entertainment

The Penguin Episode Five: ‘Homecoming’ Spoiler Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

While this week’s episode of The Penguin wasn’t as amazing as last week’s supremely excellent offering, it was still a gripping piece of television that moved the plot forward in needful meaningful ways and made the audience question if we’re really supposed to be rooting for the titular lead. Battle lines were drawn and actions were taken that I don’t think can be untaken in … Continue reading The Penguin Episode Five: ‘Homecoming’ Spoiler Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

The Penguin Episode Four ‘Cent’Anni’ Spoiler Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

Much like how I knew episode nine of FX’s Shogun would net Anna Sawai an Emmy, episode four of The Penguin seems tailor-made for Cristin Milioti’s “for your consideration” next year. A powerhouse of an episode, Cent’Anni focuses in on Sofia Falcone and gives us fascinating insight into her character thanks to an episode long flashback sequence. The episode actually opens up where we left … Continue reading The Penguin Episode Four ‘Cent’Anni’ Spoiler Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

The Penguin Episode Three: ‘Bliss’ Spoiler Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

Oz takes a bit of a backseat in this week’s episode of The Penguin to finally shine a light on Vic, the stuttering teen working as his driver. He’s been a bit of a wallflower the past two episodes, but in this week’s entry, the attention shifts firmly to his point of view, showcasing his backstory and his thoughts on his current predicament. Much like … Continue reading The Penguin Episode Three: ‘Bliss’ Spoiler Review – ScreenHub Entertainment
