AI Teaser Trailer 'Odysseus: The Fall' will try to compete with 'The Odyssey' 2026
ODYSSEUS: THE FALL from FOUNTAIN-O (2026). The AI generated movie will be 2-hours long without real people. It uses the likeness of Ash Koosha who is the writer, director and producer of "Odysseus." There are no actors. This is supposed to be the alternative to Christopher Nolan's, "The Odyssey."
"Fountain-O" submitted the AI generated, "Dreams of Violets" to this year's Tribeca film festival (2026). Critics were not impressed.
This is the new trend until AI gets better with storytelling. Progressive filmmakers no longer want to use actors, but only visuals. It saves money as an alternative to big budget movies in Hollywood. My question is, "Why use the likeness of regular people. When you can simply create an animated film? But, they don't want to use real actors. So, the voices are AI generated.
Which brings us to AI storytelling with horrible dialogue. Check out this teaser trailer and the stilted dialogue and the expression-less characters. It just doesn't work. Do you really want to sit in a movie theater for 2-hours watching this?
AI is everywhere now and not just in entertainment. This new trend of AI movies will become an alternative to real film-making. But - for how long? It gets boring after a while.
Below is the AI teaser trailer for "The Odysseus: The Fall."
Nolan's 'The Odyssey' nabs $17.6 Million with Thursday Previews

Bison tossing elder grandpa goes Mega Viral with millions of views
YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK (2026). A grandfather was thrown 10 feet into the air by a wild Bison. He is recovering in a hospital after surgery. The 65-year-old was flipped and had broken several bones in one leg. He told CNN news that he was running in circles to save his grandson. He's glad to be alive because the Bison could've killed him.
Authorities say the Bison will not be put down after attacking the elder male.
The video has gone "mega viral" over the internet. It has been seen around the globe. There are hundreds of "memes" put to music. Plus, reactions from everyone. A t-shirt has been made plus an iPhone case cover. Even wildlife experts are weighing in on why this Bison attacked.
It is "rutting" season where males search for females to mate. This Bison was aggressive earlier and got triggered by a truck. Then, it took aim at the grandfather and his grandson.
Below is a reaction to the video. There is foul language.

Lou Diamond Phillips carries 'Gangland' on bleak Indian Reservation 2-out-of-5 Stars*
GANGLAND from SABAN films (2026). The crime drama is in select movie theaters and streaming online. It stars Lou Diamond Phillips and was directed by Vincent Grashaw. (I rented the movie on Apple-TV).
The story is simple. Richie gets out of prison and returns to his Indian reservation. He re-unites with his Native gang and trouble begins. Veteran Tribal cop Teddy and Sandra (rookie) have to stop him.
Congratulations to the full Native-Indigenous cast. Plus, Lou Diamond Phillips as Teddy who carries the whole film.
With that said.... It is a depressing movie covering the bleak overwhelming despair on this Indian reservation (Oklahoma). It's dark and so is the "lighting" design. The night sequences on the streets and inside the homes are not fully lit. I had to "lean" in to see the characters. Even the day sequences inside houses were darkly lit.
I say depressing because I am Native-Indigenous. I've seen this on my own Indian reservation. There were drugs, alcoholism, suicide and murder. Plus, there were no jobs except with the Tribal government and the BIA (Bureau of Indian Affairs). Tribal members moved off the reservation to seek better opportunities.
Film audiences have seen this before too. The tired "cliches" including the cop caught in-between two rival gangs. Plus, the veteran and his rookie cop partner. It's just set on a reservation instead of in a city.

Yellowstone Park Bison Flips Old Man Into The Air 2026
Hey everybody - I usually don't put local news on this Blog. As a Native/Indigenous male. I think this is important for all visitors who travel to Yellowstone to observe wildlife. Do your history and be prepared if and when animals attack.
According to news reports. It is "rutting" season with the male Bison. They are territorial and want to mate with females. They become aggressive and will charge at any moment.
This male Bison charged a grandfather and his grandson. He caught up with the elder and flipped him into the air. He received injuries to his pelvis.
It happens every year at Yellowstone national park. Wild animals attack including Bison. Many tourists think they can walk freely among the wild and take pictures. Be prepared.

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.
