‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’ Season 2, Episodes 1-3 Spoiler-Free Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

Amazon’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is back for a second season after a two-year wait. Perhaps it’s that long wait that persuaded the studio to drop three episodes at once for the premiere, rivalling the theatrical cuts of Peter Jackson’s Middle-earth films. It’s no secret that the first season’s reception wasn’t quite what the studio was expecting, with the show … Continue reading ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’ Season 2, Episodes 1-3 Spoiler-Free Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

‘The Crow’ (2024) Doesn’t Suck! A Spoiler-Free Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

There have been a lot of emotions swirling around the new adaptation of The Crow. While it is tempting to compare this adaptation of the classic graphic novel to the 1994 version starring Brandon Lee, I believe that individual adaptations should be judged on their own merits. So if you are able to leave your mid-nineties nostalgia at the door or if this is your … Continue reading ‘The Crow’ (2024) Doesn’t Suck! A Spoiler-Free Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

‘Alien: Romulus’ – A Very Spoilery Summation – ScreenHub Entertainment

Since its release, Alien: Romulus has been met with similar polarizing responses to previous incarnations of the franchise, but this time around they’ve skewed more toward the positive. The film does employ a lot of elements from previous franchise entries, even some of the less beloved ones, making a stew of chaos and suspense all under the backdrop of some absolutely stunning production design. In … Continue reading ‘Alien: Romulus’ – A Very Spoilery Summation – ScreenHub Entertainment

First Time: ‘Alien 3’ Theatrical Cut Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

Believe it or not, I had never seen Alien 3 in my life. But with all the buzz around Alien: Romulus, I figured I would check out this controversial movie that also just so happens to be the directorial debut of David Fincher. I could only get access to the theatrical cut, not the Assembly Cut, which is said to be far better, so this … Continue reading First Time: ‘Alien 3’ Theatrical Cut Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

‘Alien Covenant’ Tries To Be Both Alien 5 and Prometheus 2 At The Same Time With Mixed Results – ScreenHub Entertainment

Fans and critics were a little miffed when Ridley Scott released Prometheus, as it felt very detached from the Alien franchise, so much so that it’s the only film in the franchise to not have “Alien” in the title. To help bring things back on track, the follow-up to that movie would not be Prometheus II, but instead Alien: Covenant, which would feel more in … Continue reading ‘Alien Covenant’ Tries To Be Both Alien 5 and Prometheus 2 At The Same Time With Mixed Results – ScreenHub Entertainment

“Alien: Romulus” Review (non-spoiler) – ScreenHub Entertainment

Although the movie slate for 2024 got us ‘partly’ excited, this is one of the few exceptions where we, sci-fi fanboys, were getting really hyped. The Alien franchise is back, with a brand-new filmmaker behind the helm of the ship! Directed by highly capable horror director Fede Álvarez, the mind behind Don’t Breathe (2016) and Evil Dead (2013), the iconic Xenomorphs are back and in … Continue reading “Alien: Romulus” Review (non-spoiler) – ScreenHub Entertainment

‘Prometheus’ Is Actually An Interesting Sci-Fi Film, But Not A Great ‘Alien’ Film – ScreenHub Entertainment

Alien: Romulus is about to release and I figured I’d try and slip in a few Alien-related films before going to check out Fede Álvarez’s entry. I had already watched Ridley Scott’s original Alien and James Cameron’s Aliens somewhat recently, so that left the option of going to Aliens 3 or venturing back to Prometheus, a film I haven’t seen since its theatrical release. And … Continue reading ‘Prometheus’ Is Actually An Interesting Sci-Fi Film, But Not A Great ‘Alien’ Film – ScreenHub Entertainment

House of the Dragon Episode Eight: ‘The Queen Who Ever Was’ & Overall Season Two Thoughts – ScreenHub Entertainment

Episode eight of House of the Dragon’s second season would have been a great penultimate episode, but it comes up as a surprise disappointment for the finale. With a reduced episode count, the season barreled toward a conclusion that largely felt like nothing more than set up for events to come, while simultaneously dragging its heels. Instead of wrapping this season up in a meaningful … Continue reading House of the Dragon Episode Eight: ‘The Queen Who Ever Was’ & Overall Season Two Thoughts – ScreenHub Entertainment

Finally: ‘The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare’ Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare hit the big screen earlier this year, but only in the US. I wrote about this in length, citing how frustrating and lame such a business decision was, especially when the marketing failed to highlight that the film would not be coming to the rest of the world on the release date. Now, a few months later, the rest of … Continue reading Finally: ‘The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare’ Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

House of the Dragon Episode 7 ‘The Red Sowing’ Spoiler Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

It’s a bit hard to believe that this week’s episode of House of the Dragon was, in fact, the penultimate for the season. Episode seven, titled The Red Sowing, built on the foundation of last week’s entry by focusing on the concept of the Dragonseeds. It was a more focused episode for sure, with some great payoffs, and some nagging issues that persist. I’m not … Continue reading House of the Dragon Episode 7 ‘The Red Sowing’ Spoiler Review – ScreenHub Entertainment
