‘Twisters’ and the Magic of Effects Done Well – ScreenHub Entertainment

For those who came of age after the early 90s, it can be hard to understand just how groundbreaking CGI was to audiences at the time. And one of the biggest champions of that revolution was the 1996 film, Twister. Though the film was met with a decidedly chilly reception at the time of its release, it was a major hit for audiences, smashing the … Continue reading ‘Twisters’ and the Magic of Effects Done Well – ScreenHub Entertainment

‘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

‘Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes’ Review- ScreenHub Entertainment

It should be noted that I’m not the biggest fan of the Planet of the Apes franchise. I’ve never seen the originals, or the Burton remake, but I have seen the reboot trilogy. Of those three, I only really liked Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, so I wasn’t in any huge rush to see the next entry in the franchise. But Kingdom of … Continue reading ‘Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes’ 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

‘The Lord of the Rings: War of the Rohirrm’ Explained – ScreenHub Entertainment

Yesterday, Warner Bros dropped the first trailer for The Lord of the Rings: War of the Rohirrim, the first film set in Middle-earth to hit the big screen since the third Hobbit film.

‘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
