‘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

‘Civil War’ Movie Review – Screenhub Entertainment

During my rundown of the most anticipated movies of 2024, British filmmaker Alex Garland’s newest movie about a renegade America going into war with itself was my top pick. It’s hard to remember a movie warning us of a real and actual potential danger in a political landscape where democracy is taken for granted in key places around the globe (we can only think of … Continue reading ‘Civil War’ Movie Review – Screenhub Entertainment

‘Tokyo Vice’ Season Two Review (Spoiler-Free) – ScreenHub Entertainment

We recommended the first season of Tokyo Vice earlier this year, the Max Original (formerly HBO Max, what a stupid name change) series starring Ansel Egort as an American investigative journalist working the criminal underworld in the titular city circa 1999. After a longer-than-expected wait, season two finally aired and we’re happy to report that it’s awesome. Let’s dive in. The season premiere of season … Continue reading ‘Tokyo Vice’ Season Two Review (Spoiler-Free) – ScreenHub Entertainment

Historical Accuracy Be Damned, ‘Braveheart’ Still Owns – ScreenHub Entertainment

Gladiator is often credited with being the film that kickstarted the Hollywood obsession with the epic in the 2000s, but we shouldn’t discount Braveheart as the film that reinvigorated a dying genre. Directed by and starring controversial actor Mel Gibson, the film would go on to win four Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director at the 1996 Academy Awards. It’s laughably inaccurate, but despite … Continue reading Historical Accuracy Be Damned, ‘Braveheart’ Still Owns – ScreenHub Entertainment

Is ‘Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire’ Any Good? Spoiler-Free Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

I was a big fan of Ghostbusters: Afterlife, so I was pretty excited to go and check out its sequel. But I was then surprised to see that Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire was getting some pretty lukewarm reviews. But I figured, why not go and check it out regardless. While not quite the surprise Afterlife was, Frozen Empire is a pretty fun movie, albeit one that’s … Continue reading Is ‘Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire’ Any Good?

‘Road House (2024) Review: Dumb or Fun? – ScreenHub Entertainment

Let me preface this review by saying I’ve never actually seen the original Patrick Swayze film Road House, but I’m aware of both it and its devout cult following. But by not being a fan of the original, I was able to come into the 2024 remake, from director Doug Liman and starring Jake Gyllenhaal, with zero expectations. The original film has a reputation of … Continue reading ‘Road House (2024) Review: Dumb or Fun? – ScreenHub Entertainment

‘The Gentlemen’ Netflix Series Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

While I liked Guy Ritchie’s 2019 film The Gentlemen, I didn’t love it the way Fred did in his review. I found it hard to care about the characters and it often put style over substance. But the reception to the film was strong enough that Netflix greenlit a spinoff TV series of the same name, with Guy Ritchie returning as creator and part-time writer/director. … Continue reading ‘The Gentlemen’ Netflix Series Review – 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

Spreading Democracy: Helldivers 2 Early Impressions Review (On PS5) – ScreenHub Entertainment

I don’t normally jump on bandwagons and almost as a rule of thumb, I avoid online multiplayer games. But I found myself drawn by both the buzz and premise of Helldivers 2, the latest “it” game courtesy of Arrowhead Game Studios. In a year where such live-service games as Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League and Skull and Bones have failed to make an impression … Continue reading Spreading Democracy: Helldivers 2 Early Impressions Review (On PS5) – 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
