On the other hand, some of the finest movies barely break even, or fare far worse. The following list will take a look at ten unfortunate works of the 2010s that didn’t get a fair shake during their theatrical run....
The smash-hit TV show Supernatural has been on since the year 2005. Which is longer than some teenagers have been alive.

Obviously over the course of 14 going on 15 seasons, Supernatural has built up a massive fan base, and it’s long-lasting stories and characters have inspired a lot of amazing and hilarious fan works....

Corey’s book, Cibola Burns, saw the various factions battling with the consequences of the open Ring Gates and ended on a major cliffhanger that saw Earth on the brink of annihilation. How Dangerous Is Marko Inaros? The fourth season introduced the charismatic Belter extremist and OPA pirate Marco Inaros (Keon Alexander) who firmly believes that the Belter’s freedom can only be achieved by striking down the Inners....
One author who’s work has really taken off in the world of film and television over the last few years has to be the master of horror himself, Stephen King. The renowned author has had several of his works turn into blockbuster hits, from It to Pet Sematary. Hearts In Atlantis The first novel fans should read has to be Hearts in Atlantis.

Amidst a crowded assortment of 90s sitcoms that focused on the raucous, rowdy nature of family life, Home Improvement carved out its own niche. It wasn’t as saccharine as Full House or as bawdy as Roseanne, as cynical as Seinfeld, or take itself as seriously as Frasier. It managed to strike a balance between slapstick comedy and feel-good comedic melodrama. It focused on reckless patriarch Tim Taylor balancing his fictitious home improvement show, with his life at home shared by his caustic wife Jill and their three boys....

Harry Potter is a hugely successful franchise and was the first introduction for many people to the world of fandom.

Even since Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone came out in 1998, society has shifted in many ways....

Gossip Girl featured complicated friendships and families. Enemies turned friends and then turned back to enemies. High school sweethearts turned into long-time relationships. And there was enough couple-swapping to mimic the romantic scene of a small college campus. While some relationships in retrospect didn’t seem the healthiest, there were definitely big declarations of love and romantic gestures galore. We’re likely to see some repeat authors (i.e. Chuck) and some small moments made big, but all are dramatic and huge declarations of love and romance in their own way....
Miami Vice is notable for a lot of things, not the least of which was its veritable array of guest stars. In hindsight, the popular 80s television show had a knack for picking out upcoming talent.

The following list will take a look at ten celebrities who appeared on the show when they were still green....

Hollywood is the dominating force in cinema, for better or for worse. Some of the most original and fantastic works in the art form came from the Los Angeles neighborhood. With all this being said, the whole world engages in the medium, and most of the work is often ignored by western eyes. To show some respect to the unsung international film space and acknowledge where Hollywood gets its ideas, the following list will detail ten movies you didn’t know were remakes of foreign films....
The movie Marriage Story stole all of our hearts when it premiered on Netflix in 2019, and Noah Baumbach proved once again that he’s brilliant, artsy, and totally real.

For some of us, home invasion films are the scariest horror movies out there. Unlike the supernatural, paranormal, and even slasher movies, home invasions are the most realistic scenario out there. Some horror movies work hard to make the setting as true-to-life as possible to make it as freaky as possible. It can be nerve-wracking to watch a home invasion movie alone, especially at night. How can you not imagine someone breaking into your home in the aftermath?...

The film was well-received upon its release, but has gotten even more famous in the 85 plus years that it has been out....
