Bio-Pic 'Young Washington' sticks close to history 4-out-of-5 stars*
YOUNG WASHINGTON distributed by ANGEL studios (2026). Over the Fourth of July weekend it grossed $19 million. It exceeded expectations and there will be a sequel called, "1776."
The story is simple. George Washington lost his father at a young age and was raised by his half-brother. He aspires to be in the British army in Virginia - but is rejected. His ambition gets him promoted as a British "major" which he never earned. George knows the land of Virginia and gives a message to the French. He doesn't know that he falls into the French and Indian war. He starts another war between the French and the British. His ambition helps him fight for his own Virginian people. George becomes a hero in the press.
"Young" was filmed in Europe and Canada. The land is beautiful and harsh in Virginia. The lush greens, torrential rain and freezing rivers look great. George is also seen riding his horse over spacious Green Meadows. The costume design is spot on from George, down to the Native American designs. It has to be accurate because of high definition cameras. It didn't look fake at all.
There is a myth that George chopped down a cherry tree proclaiming that, "I cannot tell a lie." It's interesting to see in this bio-pic that he keeps hitting big and small trees with an ax.
As a native/indigenous male. I liked how the natives were portrayed correctly by history. They weren't just Hollywood "savages." I enjoyed this. Check it out.

Official Trailer 'Dinosaurs of the Wild West' coming soon.!
Okay.... This is a new idea by partnering dinosaurs with humans. The first was, "Primitive War" which was a streaming online success. Now, the filmmakers are raising money with a Go-Fund-Me page to finish this movie.
This original trailer is very good. It's like a fantasy story with dinosaurs. Just like the dragon in "Never-Ending Story."
I wouldn't mind watching this Wild West idea.
Trailer 'Legend of the White Dragon' in theaters Aug. 28, 2026
Okay.... This is a good trailer. We have seen so many super-hero films. It feels saturated. Where is the difference in the story. This looks like a "Power Ranger" movie that should've been made back in the 1990's. The CGI is okay to watch. It's like we've been here before though.
