Leave a comment

Based on how much time has gone by its almost amazing to recall that it was back in October of 2020 that we first shared some news about the upcoming Walt Disney Pictures film “Raya and The Last Dragon” but it was. Time seems to be moving very slowly at the moment so if you missed that trailer post just click HERE to be on point since that was a fun teaser. Now its time to look at the Official Trailer and as before I’ve added the premise, casting and some more artwork for you to enjoy. See you at the close.

The Premise: Long ago, in the world of Kumandra, humans and dragons lived together in harmony. But when sinister monsters known as the Druun threatened the land, the dragons sacrificed themselves to save humanity. Now, 500 years later, those same monsters have returned and it’s up to a lone warrior, Raya, and her pet pill bug companion Tuk Tuk, to track down the last dragon in order to finally stop the Druun for good. However, along her journey, she’ll learn that it’ll take more than dragon magic to save the world—it’s going to take trust as well.

Presenting The 38th AVN Awards Winners Rundown

With the majority of the world still dealing with being under quarantine as the dreaded Coronavirus Pandemic continues to rule with its terrible fist, I’m continuing to showcase any of the awards show rundowns that I learn have happened. This past year of 2020 found me introducing ones that I’ve never heard about before but would gladly add to the context of our historical archive. The AVN Awards have never been documented here before and since a big story last year was that the Pornhub service was giving away free memberships to those of age in order to keep people home. For sure it was a clever means to build up memberships and advise people to interact outside a lot less. This is found me opting to include the recently announced winners for “The Oscars of Adult Film” and I hope that those of you who follow the industry enjoy this winners list inclusion. Let’s go.

It would seem that CBS Television is bringing back one of their successful properties with a brand-new take on “The Equalizer”. The show was quite popular back in the mid-eighties and starred Patrick Woodward in the role of “The Equalizer”. In 2021 the task falls to Queen Latifa and the first trailer for the show is below. I’ve also included the series premise and casting. Sadly there was no artwork to showcase at the time of the trailer reveal. Enjoy.

The Premise: The series chronicles the life of Robyn McCall, an enigmatic woman and single mother to teenage daughter Delilah, with a mysterious background who uses her extensive skills to help those with nowhere else to turn, acting as a guardian angel and a defender for those who cannot defend themselves while pursuing her own redemption.

The folks at CBS Studios have opted to give us a sequel to the world of FBI Agent Clarice Starling, and this is set shortly after the events of the book and film “The Silence Of The Lambs”. I loved that movie and I’ve got a sense of certainty that many of you did as well. The first trailer for the series that begins in February is available below along with some casting and promotional art.

The Premise: Set in 1993, a year after the events of The Silence of the Lambs, the series serves as a deep dive into the untold personal story of Clarice Starling, as she returns to the field to pursue serial murderers and sexual predators while navigating the high-stakes political world of Washington, D.C.
