Awake not Woke!

Another streaming pile of garbage. Terrible acting and story. This is the sort of low budget garbage that was direct to video in the late 90's early 2000's. The ballerina group has the correct DEI checkmarks for diversity and it's basically just a bunch of tiny skinny females beating up the bad men. The fight choreography is awful with the dance fighting in particular is one of the stupidest things you will see in a movie. The leader of the criminal inn organization is a girl boss while the men are all bumbling fools. Yes that is actually Uma Thurman slumming it for a paycheck. I'm now convinced putting characters with dishabilles in movies is as much DEI as anything else they do. I've seen a significant rise of deaf characters in particular in movies. In the first half they at least tried to make the small females a little more believable as they have them fight in groups of 2 or more against a single male and they use weapons like blades or clubs. The second half they just kind of give up on that however. It's still unbelievable though as the men just flail about stupidly and wait to get hit or run straight at them and stand there while they get attacked. Rarely does a male character ever through a punch like they actually would in real life, they just push the female characters down or against a wall. It's so painfully stupid. The only positive is some decent FX and that's about it. The only reason I'm giving this 4 woke instead of 5 is because the director seemed to acknowledge the disparities in size and strength for men vs women and tried to make it more believable with the fight scenes but it still doesn't work and just comes off as a girl power movie at it's core.

Great movie.

This checks all the boxes for my opinion of a good war movie: - Doesn't glorify war. - Depicts harsh realities. - Uniforms don't depict good/bad guys, actions do. - Realism (no Rambo heroics) It's worth watching.

Yet another feminist agenda movie weakly disguised as post-apocalyptic sci-fi. Creatures have emerged into the world to eradicate humans and a scratch or bite can infect you and turn you into a monster. Except is only affects men and very rarely women. We are half jokingly told it's because men have simply brains and are easily infected while women have complex brains. This leads to most men having been killed off and the population that's left is majority female including all the military and resistance fighters. All the men are weak betas that need to be protected. This also pushes the reasoning behind this to the climate change hoax. While I don't consider climate change to fall under the description of woke it is politically agenda motivated propaganda. The small tiny female teenager has to save her father on multiple occasions. There is also the usual DEI overrepresentation as well. The acting is pretty bad, the story is very weak and cliché. The trailers are also misleading and sell it as an action creature post apocalypse sci-fi movie. Everything in the trailer I saw is from the first 30 or so minutes, after that it's a very slow paced survival drama between a father and daughter. The ending seems like a setup for a series more than an ending to a movie. The FX and creature designs range from weak to just laughable. The hybrids that are talked about with such fear most of the movie finally show up and seem to be almost no threat at all, slow moving and very easily dispatched. Not recommended for anyone.

Adult Children of Divorce is a comedy from 2013. There are a lot of recognizable faces and names here and the acting is good. This is a hilarious comedy about exactly what the title says. There is nothing woke here. The story is good, the humor is more grounded than silly but it works. I do think it's probably funnier to people with divorced parents or if you know someone who is. Some of the humor may not hit the same way otherwise. Still well worth a watch in my opinion.
