'Conclave' Spoiler-Free Review - ScreenHub Entertainment

Despite not being a practicing Catholic, I must admit some level of bizarre fascination with the history and politics of the Church. So when I learned that there was to be a cinematic adaptation of Robert Harris’ 2016 novel Conclave, I was intrigued. Having already read the book, I knew this movie would likely ruffle a lot of feathers. And while the ending will most likely be divisive, the…

Kevin Smith Isn't Making 'Dogma 2', But He's Thinking About it Really Hard - ScreenHub Entertainment

I have written before about the iconic indie film director Kevin Smith. It is no secret that I am a fan of him, as a director and as a person. So it is always nice to see him excited about a new project, especially when the title of that project could very well be Dogma 2. In a recent interview on the stage of Vulture Fest, Kevin Smith explained That, with the upcoming release and national tour…

Dune: Prophecy Episode 1 'The Hidden Hand' Spoiler Review - ScreenHub Entertainment

With the conclusion of The Penguin on HBO last week, we usher in a new series that’s also an offshoot of a Warner product. But where the exploits of Oz Cobb sunk its hooks into me in no small part to its stellar writing and top-notch performances, Dune: Prophecy stumbles with its first of six episodes, thanks largely to an inconsistent script and uninteresting characters. Dune: Prophecy acts as…

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 see released in 2024 seems to have more in line…

The Penguin Finale: 'A Great or Little Thing' Spoiler Review - ScreenHub Entertainment

The Penguin’s finale wrapped up a lot of the plot points of this TV mini-series while also serving as something of a jumping off point for the upcoming film, The Batman Part II. It was brutal, sad, and once again, full of great performances. I still question elements of this show that being said, but overall, had a great time watching it. Despite being taken by Sofia, it doesn’t take long for Oz…

Anthony Mackie in 'Elevation' Spoiler-Free Review - ScreenHub Entertainment

Historically, most monsters in the horror and thriller genres have had some physical trait that the heroes must discover and exploit to prevail. However, an interesting new trend has emerged in recent years. This trend reveals that trait at the very beginning of the film and uses that knowledge as a driving force throughout the narrative. The new movie Elevation follows this trend, but does it…

Happy N7 Day Mass Effect fans. And to celebrate, Amazon MGM Studios have announced that they’re going to be developing a TV show based on the popular video game series.

The Penguin Episode Seven: 'Top Hat' Spoiler Review - ScreenHub Entertainment

The Penguin slides into its penultimate episode with a flashback-heavy episode, this time focusing on the early childhood of one Ozwald Cobb while simultaneously pushing the present-day narrative forward in an explosive way. It made for a shorter-than-usual episode, but one that still hinged on great writing and acting, with a brutal revelation early on. We’ve heard about Oz’s two brothers…

The Penguin Episode Six: 'Gold Summit' Spoiler Review - ScreenHub Entertainment

Episode six of The Penguin was one of those episodes that pushed the plot forward in more character-driven moments, while also setting the stage for the end of the season. The show featured some kind of time jump, as Oz’s Bliss empire has grown quite a bit, but I have a feeling dark days are ahead for Gotham’s new supplier. While dealing with Bliss and his minions, Oz’s main focus this week was…

Not One, But Two 'Predator' Movies Coming in 2025 - ScreenHub Entertainment

Sequels to Predator range in quality from decent to exhausting, which is why it was a pleasant surprise that Prey, the prequel film that streamed on Hulu, was so awesome. Many fans consider it to be the second-best in the franchise, so it was no surprise that 20th Century Studios wanted to continue working with that film’s director, Dan Trachtenberg. But the director didn’t just want to do “Prey…

The still-untitled Star Wars film focusing on Rey after the events of The Rise of Skywalker has lost its second writer. After Damon Lindeloff and Justin Britt-Gibson stepped away from the project, acclaimed writer Steven Knight (Peaky Blinders, Rogue Heroes) stepped in to fill the role in early 2023. But, per Variety, Knight has also stepped away from the project, forcing Lucasfilm, yet again, to…

'Scream 2 ' Is A Great Self-Aware Sequel - ScreenHub Entertainment

I’m keeping this spoiler-free in case you’ve never seen Scream 2. It seems like just yesterday that it was the 25th anniversary of Scream, one of my favourite horror films of all time. The success of that film naturally spawned a sequel that came out one year later and considering Halloween is upon us, it seems like a good time as any to talk about Scream 2. Horror sequels rarely live up to the…

The Penguin Episode Five: 'Homecoming' Spoiler Review - ScreenHub Entertainment

While this week’s episode of The Penguin wasn’t as amazing as last week’s supremely excellent offering, it was still a gripping piece of television that moved the plot forward in needful meaningful ways and made the audience question if we’re really supposed to be rooting for the titular lead. Battle lines were drawn and actions were taken that I don’t think can be untaken in this particular saga…
