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

Ridley Scott’s ‘Napoleon’ Is A Beautiful Mess – ScreenHub Entertainment

Ridley Scott is one of those directors whose filmography is a hodgepodge of cinematic masterpieces, mediocre thuds and embarrassing misfires. He excels at making historical epics, as evidenced by films such as Gladiator, Kingdom of Heaven (the director’s cut) and The Last Duel. So naturally, I was pretty damn excited for Napoleon, his biopic on the Corsian military general turned Emperor. But when word broke … Continue reading Ridley Scott’s ‘Napoleon’ Is A Beautiful Mess – ScreenHub Entertainment

‘The Boston Stranger’ Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

The Boston Strangler was quietly launched on Hulu (or Disney+, depending on your region) without little to no fanfare. This seems to be a trend for Ridley Scott productions as of late, who is a producer on this film and faced a similar lack of buzz around his film The Last Duel, also released by 20th Century Studios. Some time has now passed since the … Continue reading ‘The Boston Stranger’ Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

‘The Last Duel’ Bombed At The Box Office, But Why? – ScreenHub Entertainment

Update: director Ridley Scott has given his reasoning behind the box office failure of The Last Duel. While sitting down with Marc Maron’s WTF podcast, he cited that contrary to belief, he thought that Disney marketed the film quite well. I’ll still disagree with him on that statement and stick with my original statement. As a consumer, I thought the marketing was atrocious. So why … Continue reading ‘The Last Duel’ Bombed At The Box Office, But Why? – ScreenHub Entertainment

‘The Last Duel’ Review: A #metoo Movie Coated In Armour – ScreenHub Entertainment

I’ve eagerly been awaiting Ridley Scott’s The Last Duel for some time now, despite the apparent lack of marketing surrounding this title. It appeared on both my 2020 and 2021 most anticipated films of the year list. The premise itself is simple enough: inspired by true events, the film is set in the late 1300s and two men will face off in a duel to … Continue reading ‘The Last Duel’ Review: A #metoo Movie Coated In Armour – ScreenHub Entertainment

Why The Original ‘Blade Runner’ Remains My Favourite – ScreenHub Entertainment

Since Blade Runner 2049 hit theatres back in 2017, there was a new hype surrounding the cinematic sci-fi world launched by Sir Ridley Scott back in 1982. Underrated and possibly ‘underappreciated’ by most moviegoers, this franchise finally got the prestige and the attention it deserves. In fact, this is the very same franchise that helped launch the genre called “Cyberpunk“, which merges futuristic dystopia, hacker … Continue reading Why The Original ‘Blade Runner’ Remains My Favourite – ScreenHub Entertainment
