5 Great Action Movies That Deserve a Sequel

Action movies come in many styles, from fun comedies to serious, dark thrillers, so there’s something for everyone. Several of these films, including adaptations of comics and spoofs of other genres, are ripe for a follow-up.

Tim Burton’s Mars Attacks! Is Finally Being Recognized as a Cult Classic

As a big movie fan, I always saw Tim Burton’s film as a really deliberate send-up of those classic 1950s sci-fi flicks, and even a bit of a poke at big, splashy blockbusters in general. When it first came out, a lot of critics weren’t so kind – they called it cynical, goofy, and kind of pointless. Roger Ebert even said it failed because the people making it seemed to think they were above the material they were parodying. But honestly, over the years, it’s really gained a following – people finally get the satire and appreciate just how wonderfully over-the-top it is. It’s become a bit of a cult classic, which I think it always deserved to be.

Good science fiction hasn’t been getting the attention it deserves recently. Streaming services and studios are often cancelling promising shows too quickly, or making their seasons very short – just six or eight episodes. Despite this, audiences are still hungry for smart, imaginative sci-fi. With 62 engaging episodes, The Expanse is a great choice for anyone looking for a longer series to watch in today’s streaming landscape. The show consistently maintains high quality, but some episodes are truly exceptional and best showcase what The Expanse has to offer. Here’s a ranking of the 10 greatest episodes, from the least impressive (though still good!) to the very best.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I was thrilled to see Hugh Laurie back on my screen! He reprised his role as the captivating Jonathan Pine – you might remember him as the hotelier who becomes a spy – in the second series which premiered earlier this month. It’s fantastic to see such a talented actor return to a character we all love.
