Ghost Hunters was the show that started the paranormal television trend. Without it, who knows if Ghost Adventures would have ever made it to air. After ending its run on SyFy Channel in 2014, A&E decided to bring it back with original cast member Grant Wilson in 2019.
The first season of the reincarnated version of Ghost Hunters is coming to Hulu, and if you love the things that go bump in the night, you won't want to miss it!

Looking to break away from his funny guy image in 2010, Ryan Reynolds starred in Buried. The movie literally placed him in a box buried underground for 90 minutes while he tried to escape.
The tense thriller was a critical success that fell under the radar with general audiences. As one critic wrote, "Reynolds is riveting, and it's possible to appreciate Cortés's [the director] bravura cinematic accomplishment. But that'll come much later, after you catch your breath."
Hot Rod

Now moving onto a movie critics hated but audiences loved - cult classic Hot Rod. One of Andy Samberg's first theatrical roles, the movie found him playing an amateur stuntman whose stepfather hates him.
Critics panned the film, calling it, "far too inconsistent to satisfy all but the least demanding slapstick lovers." Audiences, however, got the joke and turned the movie, and Samberg (who stars in Palm Springs), into a surprising success.

It took nearly twenty years for filmmaker Todd Robinson to get his passion project made. That movie was The Last Full Measure, which tells the story of a Vietnam pararescueman who saved over 60 soldiers.
The film, which came out in 2019, had a stacked cast featuring Laurence Fishburne, Sebastian Stan, William Hurt, Ed Harris, and Samuel L. Jackson. If you missed this one in theaters, you won't want to miss it on Hulu!

It might not be everyone's favorite Spider-Man movie, but Spider-Man 3 is required viewing for true fans. A film chock full of villains, jokes, and storylines, there is never a dull moment.
The divisive film was a hit in 2007 when it came out. After the fan reaction proved negative, however, Sony moved the franchise into a different direction with Andrew Garfield. Now you can rewatch the film for yourself and determine if it was judged too harshly.
A Mighty Wind

Mary Shelley
![mary-shelley_2XPctL mary-shelley_2XPctL](https://www.trend-chaser.com/wp-content/uploads-webpc/uploads/2020/06/mary-shelley_2XPctL-29242.jpg.webp?width=800&height=533)
Get your goth on with Mary Shelley, a period piece about the author of Frankenstein. The movie follows the romantic relationship between the author and poet Percy Bysshe Shelley and was released independently in 2018 by IFC.
Kevin Maher, a film critic for the Times, wrote, "It's a story of super-heroism in disguise from the early 19th century, in a mostly London-set literary milieu that's captured with curious and probing compassion."
