I am Dragon

 I am Dragon is one of the most remarkable dragon fantasy movie out there.  It's a Russian low-cost production, but let that not turn you away.  It pleasantly surprised me and millions of other fans.   The cinematics were beautiful, even if there was CGI involved in parts (like when the dragon is flying) and the story combines both legend, ancient people, and their rituals as well as a bit of a fairy tale element. It has a "Beauty and the Beast" feel to it, but both richer and deeper as a story. Edward Cullin, eat your heart out because this story put out any flames the "Twilight" Saga may have sparked in my opinion. And if a girl can fall in love with a vampire and a werewolf, well... let's just say this movie is intensely more romantic without all the poor acting and long drawn out multi-movie requirement. Wonderfully done. I highly recommend this as a must-see for those who love fantasy and fantasy romance. My only regret is that I can't sh...

PEACEMAKER COMING TO THE END OF SEASON 1 WITH EPISODE 8 (PREVIEW AND TRAILER 1X08, HBO MAX, DC COMICS)

Peacemaker was certainly a fun show from HBO Max, a worthy addition to DC Comics Universe with its funny lines and weird situations, and now it's coming to a close with episode 8 to be aired on  Thursday, February 17, at 12:01 a.m. PT (3:01 a.m. ET). What can we expect in the end from Peacemaker? He and his gang are going to confront the Cow and the whole Butterflies gang, and the showdown is promising to be as exciting as the whole show was so far. I doubt it's going to end on a cliffhanger and fully expect the issue with this group of human-infested alien beings to be dealt with. I just hope that we do not suffer any casualties as all of the character somehow ended being dear to me, even sociopathic-yet-life-saving Vigilante. In the last episode, we saw Peacemaker deal with his father as White Dragon attacked Peacemaker , his son, and tried to kill him, showing what kind of a sleazy dirt bag and human racist scum he truly was. In the process, his Eagly almost died, but t...
