‘Predator: Badlands’ and How The Monsters Become the Stars – ScreenHub Entertainment

I took a trip last Friday to the local theater to see the latest installment in the Predator franchise. This latest entry, from the director of the stellar Prey, already had my interest. But Predator: Badlands represented something different than just another sequel. Rather, it was the realization of a dream that little twelve-year-old me had from the moment I fell in love with this … Continue reading ‘Predator: Badlands’ and How The Monsters Become the Stars – ScreenHub Entertainment

‘Jurassic Park III’ Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

With Jurassic World: Rebirth having just released, it seemed like a good time to revisit Jurassic Park III, considering the similarities between the two films. The 2001 feature sees Steven Spielberg sitting out of the director’s chair, and the results are certainly mixed. But there are still decent moments in this third entry, which, for lack of a better term, killed the franchise until its … Continue reading ‘Jurassic Park III’ Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

‘Jurassic World: Dominion’ Spoiler Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

Spoiler alert There are seemingly two certainties when it comes to cinema: nostalgia and dinosaurs sell. Jurassic World: Dominion, the third film in the sequel trilogy, understands this on paper by marketing the film as a world where humans and dinos co-exist while also bringing back the cast of the original film. It has all the ingredients to have a solid conclusion to the trilogy … Continue reading ‘Jurassic World: Dominion’ Spoiler Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

Love ‘Jurassic Park’? Here Are Some Dinosaur IPs That Need a Reboot – ScreenHub Entertainment

These days, it’s hard not to think dinosaurs without thinking Jurassic Park. While the book was also a sizable hit, it’s arguably Steven Spielberg’s seminal classic that brought dinosaurs to life like never before, popularizing their origins with modern-day birds, and making then-unknown dinosaurs like Deinonychus (not Velociraptor dammit) into bona fide superstars. The franchise has become so synonymous with dinosaurs, that most can’t think … Continue reading Love ‘Jurassic Park’? Here Are Some Dinosaur IPs That Need a Reboot – ScreenHub Entertainment

We recently wrote about the horror roots of Jurassic Park and I wanted to expand upon that idea by diving into something else that’s unique to the first film in this dino franchise. That of course is how Steven Spielberg’s 1993 original film respects and dives into death, while subsequent sequels, including and especially the Jurassic World films, all but disregard this important factor. Classic … Continue reading How ‘Jurassic Park’ Respects Death – ScreenHub Entertainment

The Horror Roots of ‘Jurassic Park’ – ScreenHub Entertainment

Horror is often the last thing most people think of when discussing Spielberg’s Jurassic Park. As a director, Spielberg has a reputation for shying away from that which is more dark and sinister, but this reputation isn’t entirely earned. Though not without its share of whimsy and wonder, Steven Spielberg still displays a real mean streak with Jurassic Park that recalls his earlier, rough around … Continue reading The Horror Roots of ‘Jurassic Park’ – ScreenHub Entertainment
