‘Shōgun’ Limited Series Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

Minor spoilers for Shōgun It’s been a while since a show has captured the imagination and attention to the degree that FX’s Shōgun has. Based on the novel of the same name, the series is set during the early 1600s and marries history with a flourish of fiction. Full of complex and well-written characters, attention to detail, great effects and a gripping story, Shōgun ticks … Continue reading ‘Shōgun’ Limited Series Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

We’re living in the dawn of a golden age of video game adaptations it seems!

‘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?

For All Its Faults, ‘Troy’ Is A Fun Movie, Despite Being A Terrible Adaptation of ‘The Illiad’ – ScreenHub Entertainment

As it stands, the 2004 epic Troy currently sits at a 54% average on Rotten Tomatoes and a 56 on Metacritic. It was made in the wake of the insanely popular film Gladiator, but failed to capture the lightning in a bottle the same way Ridley Scott’s epic did. It doesn’t help that Brad Pitt actually was pretty vocal about his time on Troy as … Continue reading For All Its Faults, ‘Troy’ Is A Fun Movie, Despite Being A Terrible Adaptation of ‘The Illiad’ – 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
