While Megan Fox is known for her role in Transformers, one of her better movies actually came out just two years later. It didn’t become a blockbuster like Transformers – which earned $700 million – but it’s since become a beloved cult classic. This proves that box office numbers aren’t the only measure of a good film, as many critically-appreciated cult favorites have found success years after their initial release.
Though Lance Reddick’s character, Ballard, is the central focus of the new series, taking charge of the LAPD’s Robbery-Homicide Division, Titus Welliver previously starred as Bosch in the Legacy spin-off.

The finale of Young Sheldon centered around George’s passing and Sheldon leaving for California for further education.

Kentaro is helping Isabel with a specific purpose: to revive his father, Hiroshi.

The second season of Daredevil: Born Again hasn’t shied away from eliminating important characters, but the latest death feels particularly disappointing, especially considering the character’s potential and their history in the original comic books.
These films create a thrilling sense of tension, which is exactly what makes them enjoyable. While they might not be the greatest movies of their kind ever made, they all share a distinctive style.

Legends, starring Steve Coogan and Tom Burke, tells the true story of how everyday people were secretly turned into undercover agents to take down dangerous drug rings in 1990s Britain. The series focuses on Guy (Burke), an ordinary customs worker, who is recruited by Don (Coogan) to assume a completely new identity for a covert operation. These agents, known only as “legends,” were remarkable because they had no formal spy training.
