As the 2010s come to a close, many people are looking back on the films that defined the decades. There were so many amazing films to come out in the last ten years, many of which instantly made their mark in film history. Of course, there are always those films that don’t make much of an impact when they are first released, only to grow in popularity thanks to their cult status....
The past decade has been full of more LGBT+ shows that featured queer representation than ever before. While the previous decade might have brought shows such as The L Word and Queer as Folk, LGBT+ series from the past ten years have been across many genres and told diverse stories. Whether they were series that focused almost solely on queer characters or series that had extremely important LGBT storylines, there was an improvement in the amount of complexity of these portrayals, even if there is still a way to go....
There is a corner of the Science Fiction genre devoted to the actual event that dazzles plenty of us - traversing the cosmos!

Despite being an intense drama with dark moments like parental suicide and fantastic aspects like superhero powers, Netflix’s I Am Not Okay With This is also a very funny show.

Liam, Syd, and Stanley really make the show what it is, often being silly together, and making the show much more playful than it might have been otherwise....
Many of us who grew up with the classic Disney characters and fairy tale heroes fell in love with Once Upon a Time. We got to see those characters come to life and picture them as if they were living among us in the real world. All of their stories were interconnected in some way, and the costumes were elaborate and magical. The story of Emma Swan coming to save these characters, who were trapped inside a boring, sleepy town was captivating....
Critics weren’t all that thrilled with Escape Room when it debuted last January. Though it did manage to fare better than most left-for-dead bargain-bin January horror productions, it wasn’t exactly a thrilling blockbuster on the level of something like Jordan Peele’s Us or M. Night Shyamalan’s Glass. Largely written off as a less-than-subtle rendition of the Saw franchise, Escape Room actually managed to put forward some of its own ideas and advance a narrative that, while not exactly inventive, was worth buying into at the very least....
The first of several live-action Star Wars series coming out in the next few years, The Mandalorian is the highly-anticipated story of a lone gunslinger making his way in the galaxy after the fall of the Empire.

Martin Scorsese is one of the most influential filmmakers working today. Very few other directors have as many movies that rank among the greatest of all time as Scorsese does. While his movies are famous for their violence and profanity, they actually deal with some very lofty themes, such as Catholic guilt, the Italian-American identity, and the ethics of crime. He’s one of the poster boys for the New Hollywood film movement that began in the ‘60s and ran until the early ‘80s – ending with Raging Bull, according to Peter Biskind....
Television has come a long way from its inception in the 1950s. Back in the day, it was only common to see one type of face on the small screen, with any others that were non-white being marginalized or subjected to harmful stereotypes. Thank goodness for the 21st century; now things are vastly different. Television has seen a dramatic change, and not only are there more options for the average viewer, but there is also better representation of people of color in roles....

As it turned out, the Earth wasn’t completely uninhabited. Eventually, the Earth wasn’t capable of sustaining human life at all. The series traveled to new planets and the future in its most recent outing, but time is running short....
Iceland is a beautiful country and it makes for some spectacularly gorgeous shots and locations. What you may not know is that many television show productions have filmed in Iceland over the years. It may problematic having to lug all the equipment, actors, and crew members out to a remote location on a remote Northern island, but it’s certainly worth it for those beautiful shots! Iceland is also a visually varied country, which means one show filmed in Iceland may look absolutely nothing like another show....
Think about going out and you do not have access to navigation and location-based apps. Pretty hard right? This is the importance of all these navigation and location apps hold in our lives. Thanks to all these apps, we no longer are alien to any address and can reach out to the location quickly and smoothly. It gives and points you to the exact location (well the accuracy is arguable sometimes) no matter where you are....
