Watching Halo - 2022 Streaming Series - Season 1 Episode 1, (1x01) From Paramount+


Halo TV Series does not miss a beat, and straight from the start the action begins as was promised.  Elites from Covenant attack a colony and the fighting for bare survival begins.

This is a third attempt to branch out HALO to TV and streaming, and it seems by what I have seen so far, that the third time really is the charm.

In case you did not know, Halo is an American military science fiction television series developed by Kyle Killen and Steven Kane for the streaming service Paramount+, based on the video game franchise of the same name. It is produced by Amblin Television, 343 Industries, Showtime Networks, One Big Picture, and Chapter Eleven, and follows a 26th-century war between the United Nations Space Command and the Covenant, a theocratic-military alliance of several advanced alien races. Pablo Schreiber and Jen Taylor star as Master Chief Petty Officer John-117 and Cortana, with the latter reprising her role from the video game series, and are joined by Natascha McElhone, Yerin Ha, Bokeem Woodbine, Shabana Azmi, Olive Gray, Charlie Murphy, Kate Kennedy, Bentley Kalu, Natasha Culzac, and Danny Sapani. Development for a Halo television series began in 2013.[2] Killen was hired in June 2018, and the series officially announced a 9-episode order for Paramount+. Filming began in Ontario, Canada in October 2019, although post-production for the first five episodes was affected due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Filming eventually resumed in Budapest, Hungary in February 2021. Halo premiered on March 24, 2022, on Paramount+,[3] with the series already renewed for a second season.[4] A portion of the series was shown at SXSW on March 14, 2022

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...
