These undercutting series deserve a little recognition of brothel

Some things seem to deserve more attention and recognition, it starts with a good feeling. This is the case for these series.
For once it’s in the positive sense, it’s still better. Because generally, we leave more room for debate on the side stuff (players, movies, groups, games, etc.), so to the negative. Here we will be in positive criticism! And we will limit ourselves to the series of the last decade, otherwise we have not left the hostel (Spanish, or whatever you want).
The disastrous adventures of orphans Baudelaire
An original series launched on Netflix which despite the good reviews did not find its audience. A childish side with dances and songs, allowing Neil Patrick Harris to shine , and another very adult by his black and sarcastic humor. Too bad because it is really stylish. Suddenly, everyone spoke of “Stranger Things” and other series. But if you have time, try it, it’s the beauty of streaming: it’s available when you’re hot.
The Ricky Gervais Show
Basically it was a podcast and not just any one: one of the most popular. Then HBO wanted to adapt it in series, in animation mode. An original direction and a rather convincing result, giving a cartoon with punchlines of egg and crazy situations . Often when Stephen and Ricky handle Karl! But the three seasons did not make so many views that, the audience remained limited. At the same time, the broadcast schedules were not top.
Rick and Morty
Adored by a certain community of unconditional fans, ignored or downright unknown by others. Sad fate for one of the best comedy series, much less renowned than the Simpsons or Les Griffins. Basically , it’s a parody of “Back to the Future” where Doc is a drunk alcoholic and drugged, while Marty turns out to be a little unmanageable nervous, chaining chess . Very cynical, alternating wacky jokes and striking findings of justness, the series deserves more spectators and publicity.
Ghosts
A French series which is worth the detour, then it must be said. Dealing with death and resurrection, it clearly gives place to drama and reflection. With a good dose of stress, tension, discomfort! Basically, dead people come back to life, and go back to their lives before as if nothing had happened. Because they did not realize they were dead, actually … A very “rational” and psychological delirium that changes other zombie series where blood and gore prevail . There you cogitate and you anxiously. Still.
Love
A creation that one owes to Judd Appatow, best known for his films now, while he is the author of a few series mine of nothing. Alas all a little depreciated, like “Freaks and Geeks” or the latest in date, “Love”. Exploring the world of modern romance, with humor and intelligence , analyzing it and making it live without falling into easy criticism, the series shows us two endearing characters, Mickey and Gus. Which form a couple that one likes to look at and see evolve.
The Americans
Quality at all levels. Actors, plot, sets and costumes, photography … Really good work and a series that should be a reference at the moment. Located in the 1980s, the story shows two Russian spies sent to the United States to glean information and refer all this to the mother country . Under cover obviously, in normal and well-integrated American mode. The father is almost too much (he kiffe limits the capitalist delirium the rogue), the mother less, the children sympathize with children of agents of the FBI … Very interesting to watch, especially today with the frenzied communications On the influence of Putin during the American elections. Who can confirm that one of these series is worth it?

Low budget films that exploded at the box office

Happiness is not always measured by the amount of money sent to the screen. These films proved it to us …
In the absence of oil, it is better to have a sequel in the ideas when you are a director without a penny . Like these guys, who, far from the 28 films that have exceeded a billion dollars at the box office , have been dirty with very little money. Give them a pony, they make you a racehorse …
Napoleon Dynamite
Shot in a hurry in 23 days with a budget of $ 400,000, “Napoleon Dynamite” has reported 100 times in its output (about 45 million). In the dick, director Jeremy Coon did editing at his home on Final Cut Pro, while Jon Heder, the main actor who plays a high school student Nerd a little looser, contented himself with a salary of 1000 bullets . But if this teen comedy was so successful, it was also thanks to the exhibition offered by Fox, the studio having decided to show the film in more theaters after good word-of-mouth in certain festivals Sundance). For the little info, the Fox has added an epilogue scene of 5 minutes after the final credits, which alone is worth half the initial budget of the film …
Rocky
He has gone to sell his project to producers and especially impose his broken mouth as a main actor. Finally, the tenacity of Sylvester Stallone, who wrote the screenplay in 3 days on a small notebook, was rewarded . His film which cost 1 million, has brought 225 across the world!
Super Size Me
The documentary that McDo still has trouble digesting. The physical experience that Morgan Spurlock inflicted by exclusively eating McDo for a month had an international impact. But if the man lost a little of his health, he pocketed a lot of sorrel : for a production budget of 65,000 dollars, the film brought back 29.5 million to the exploitation. The wallet is super size too.
Paranormal Activity
In the same vein as “The Blair Witch Project” , whose director Oren Peli does not hide filiation, “Paranormal Activity” has done a lot of money with very little money. This false documentary, which only cost $ 15,000, rained down the world’s money to reach 194 million dollars . The strength of the film is above all to have bet on a viral promo on social networks, although the interest has logically declined with all the suites that have since been released.
Psychosis
Alfred Hitchcock’s masterpiece is one of the first films to show that one can do well with little. Suffice of a good story and a master of suspense to the controllers . His scary thriller, made with $ 800,000, has generated nearly $ 50 million in the world. Hat the artist.
Saw
Once again, the director James Wan and his poet writer Leigh Whannell met a lot of refusals before selling their project. With 1.2 million dollars of budget, no madness was allowed: the shoot was spread over 18 days only and was done only inside (it costs of the blurze to go out) . A winning bet since the horror film garnered about $ 103 million in revenue, one of the most profitable in history.
Mad Max
It’s starting to become an ultra-lucrative license if one believes what Tom Hardy said , and yet at the beginning , “Mad Max” was built on almost nothing: blood, tears, sweat and A budget of between $ 350,000 and $ 400,000. The filming of this Australian film took place in Melbourne (and its surroundings) and lasted only 12 weeks. George Miller’s find is to have taken a stranger for the title role: a certain Mel Gibson, who then made the career that we know . The post-apocalyptic film has thus garnered $ 100 million at the box office! For a long time, this classic has held the record for the most profitable small budget film in history,
Project Blair Witch
The example for all those who dream of turning lead into gold. With a budget that is between $ 50,000 and $ 75,000, the horror film exploded on its path with more than 240.5 million benefactors across the globe. From filming to marketing, everything was innovative. To give this sensation of documentary, the directors Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez provided almost no script to the actors, allowing them to improvise in the middle of the woods . The scene where the tent moves in the night is for example a real moment of flip ‘of the actors. At the level of the promo, the creators deliberately let it be believed that it was a real documentary that had gone wrong, fooling a lot of people on the Internet …
