While Waiting For Season 2 of ‘Westworld,’ Check Out the Classic That Started It All – ScreenHub Entertainment

In October of 2016, the TV series Westworld made its debut on HBO. It quickly became HBO’s most-watched first season program since True Detective, getting both critical acclaim and consistently high ratings. The second season has been in production for almost a year, and we just got a trailer. So while we’re waiting, might I suggest watching the classic on which it was based? The original … Continue reading While Waiting For Season 2 of ‘Westworld,’ Check Out the Classic That Started It All – ScreenHub Entertainment

‘Ready Player One’ Review: Does The Pop Culture Mash Up Work? ScreenHub Entertainment

For the past few years now, legendary director Steven Spielberg has made some great films, including The Post and Bridge of Spies. But these are very much films, made with a certain audience in mind and made in a much different fashion than mainstream films. But Spielberg is also the man behind Raiders of the Lost Ark and Jurassic Park, he knows just as much about blockbusters-heck he invented them with Jaws! So he returns to the genre with Ready Player One, based on the book of the same name. So how does it fair?

What Is Intelligence? The Philosophy Of ‘Ex Machina’ – ScreenHub Entertainment

By Sebastian Sheath Warning: This post contains spoilers for Alex Garland’s Ex Machina (2014). Ex Machina is probably my favourite film of all time. Not only is it visually impressive, suspenseful, and well constructed, but it also poses interesting questions for the viewer, potentially causing them to re-evaluate their morals. With an excellent, thought-provoking script from Alex Garland, author of The Beach and screenplay writer for 28 Days Later, the characters are … Continue reading What Is Intelligence?

From Creature From The Black Lagoon To The Shape of Water: Evolution of the Creature Feature – ScreenHub Entertainment

Back in 1996, I sat down and watched an old worn out VHS tape. The film on the tape told of a crew descending into the Amazon to hunt a mysterious aquatic beast, a quest that takes them to the very heart of fear. It was called Creature From The Black Lagoon, and it was my first horror film. The mysterious gill man haunted my … Continue reading From Creature From The Black Lagoon To The Shape of Water: Evolution of the Creature Feature – ScreenHub Entertainment

‘Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald’ Teaser Is Here, My Thoughts – ScreenHub Entertainment

When the first Fantastic Beasts film came out in 2016, I expressed my enjoyment of the film overall but criticized the overall tone and story structure. The main plot, which saw Eddie Redmayne’s Newt Scamander hunt down missing beasts in 1926 New York felt weak and uninspired. Remember that Central Park scene? I wish I couldn’t. But the film was set against a much more interesting B plot, one full of dark wizards, infiltrators and dark magical and it looks like that’s where the magic will happen in the film’s sequel, Crimes of Grindelwald. Warner Bros unveiled a teaser trailer today and the film looks much more like something out of the Wizarding World than the first one ever did!

‘You Were Never Really Here’ Spoiler-Free Movie Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

Based on Jonathan Ames’ novel, Lynne Ramsay (We Need To Talk About Kevin, Ratcatcher) delivers a thoughtful and silently emotional movie. Not for the faint-hearted, You Were Never Really Here obviously draws from films such as Drive (2011) and Taxi Driver (1976) but manages to be original and interesting with hard-hitting violence that is not overly visual. The film premiered worldwide yesterday having completed the festival circuit, was written and directed … Continue reading ‘You Were Never Really Here’ Spoiler-Free Movie Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

‘Star Wars Rebels’ Comes To An End, What It Means, And The Show’s Legacy – ScreenHub Entertainment

After four seasons, Star Wars Rebels came to a close. And what a finisher it was. For an animated television series on Disney XD, it had the production value and thrills of a blockbuster film. It also didn’t help that the network aired three episodes as the last hoorah, making it roughly an hour and a half of Rebels in one go. It definitely felt like what you would expect for a Star Wars finale, full of temptation, conflict and resolution. So how did the series fair overall? In this article, there’ll be spoiler talk for season 4 and its finale, as well as the series as a whole. Let’s get into it!
