The last dragon has been hidden away for fear of his corruption as foretold by a prophesy, but he is discovered by an equally-innocent youth looking for fame, fortune and adventure.

As a TV-movie, it’s not horrible. It’s still most definitely a TV-movie though. This is not B-quality, just TV-quality. Overall it’s not terrible, just not my thing. It very slightly borrows from DragonHeart – (1996 movie), but the proper movie is not mandatory watching.

A king, resurrected with half of a dragon’s heart, rules with an iron fist but is opposed by his former-mentor, a former dragon-slayer now allied with that last dragon who has the remaining half of the king’s heart.

A fine, action-heavy, fantasy. Has a lot of recognizable stars.

Vampires are real, and a secret council, whose formation is never explained, support a good-vampire on her mission to mercilessly slaughter bad-vampires in search for the worst-vampire who she was told killed her father.

For a while I was quite captivated by this movie. It was good in every respect, but it seemed to take a turn for the worse half way through, and just kept sliding. Overall it’s good, but elements of it are too similar to other famous movies for me to really find it interesting, especially since those elements are rushed.

It’s decent enough to recommend for a one-time watch.

A princess, being chased by orcs and to be a sacrifice, passes through a gate into our world but the orcs follow her.

If this movie could be considered a B-movie, it is extraordinary. It’s well-written and well-acted, and unlike Orcs! – (2011 movie) there is no comedy and I have no feeling that there is need or room for any. I easily consider this a low-budget A-movie. It was good. Very good. Not surprisingly good, actually good.

I don’t know how strongly I can or should recommend this. My heart melts for Aleya, so I’m pretty sure I’m biased.

This is a 90-minute retrospective documentary for Clerks – (1994 movie) that focuses on Smith’s early inception of the film, the process of making and distributing and finally, the reaction and response to the film from critics and fans.

It’s full of bits of trivia, but is uninteresting to all but the hardcore fans. It’s got a lot of masturbatory stuff in it, but even ignoring that, and including my love of the film it documents, I didn’t like it.

  • Properly titled Snowball Effect: The Story of ‘Clerks’

  • This is available on the bonus CD of “Clerks X”, the 10-year anniversary money grab edition.
