‘Gladiator II’ Fact or Fiction – ScreenHub Entertainment

Spoilers ahead Much like the original Gladiator, there are a slew of historical inaccuracies with Gladiator II. Unlike Napoleon, which was framed as a biopic, we tend to forgive Gladiator for altering history because it’s not trying to be a retelling of historical events. The involvement of Maximus alone derails a lot of these focal points in time. So what happened in Gladiator II and … Continue reading ‘Gladiator II’ Fact or Fiction – ScreenHub Entertainment

Was I Entertained? ‘Gladiator II’ Spoiler-Free Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

Gladiator II is one of those movies that I’ve simultaneously been incredibly excited for, yet very concerned about. I didn’t exactly think the original Gladiator film needed a sequel, especially after all these years, and director Ridley Scott has been, well, inconsistent as of late, to say the least. But after twenty-four years (sixteen in-universe), we’re back in Ancient Rome. The question is, was it … Continue reading Was I Entertained? ‘Gladiator II’ Spoiler-Free Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

Inside Nick Cave’s Original Pitch For ‘Gladiator II’ – ScreenHub Entertaiment

Gladiator II is just around the corner after what feels like an eternity of waiting for it. While this particular iteration of the movie has been in some level of production for a few years, the idea of doing a sequel to the Best Picture-winning Gladiator can be traced back to 2001, less than a year after the film’s debut. The film we’re about to … Continue reading Inside Nick Cave’s Original Pitch For ‘Gladiator II’ – ScreenHub Entertaiment

‘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

‘Prometheus’ Is Actually An Interesting Sci-Fi Film, But Not A Great ‘Alien’ Film – ScreenHub Entertainment

Alien: Romulus is about to release and I figured I’d try and slip in a few Alien-related films before going to check out Fede Álvarez’s entry. I had already watched Ridley Scott’s original Alien and James Cameron’s Aliens somewhat recently, so that left the option of going to Aliens 3 or venturing back to Prometheus, a film I haven’t seen since its theatrical release. And … Continue reading ‘Prometheus’ Is Actually An Interesting Sci-Fi Film, But Not A Great ‘Alien’ Film – 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

The ‘Kingdom of Heaven’ Director’s Cut Elevates The Original Movie – ScreenHub Entertainment

There’s been a lot of talk of director’s cuts lately. Ridley Scott has been touting a four-hour cut of Napolon coming this year and Zack Snyder is preparing R-rated director cuts for both parts of Rebel Moon. So that got me thinking of what must be one of the best director’s cuts ever assembled. Back when it was initially released in 2005, Kingdom of Heaven was a … Continue reading The ‘Kingdom of Heaven’ Director’s Cut Elevates The Original Movie – ScreenHub Entertainment

‘Napoleon’ Fact or Fiction – ScreenHub Entertainment

Napoleon is finally out and…it’s okay. Part of the problem with Ridley Scott’s latest is how often it strays from the historical text. Scott has cited we weren’t there to analyze history firsthand, but many who were alive during the Napoleonic Wars did document their lives via journals or memoirs, including Napoleon himself. So I wanted to look at some, not all, of the deviations … Continue reading ‘Napoleon’ Fact or Fiction – ScreenHub Entertainment
