Awake not Woke!

Nothing woke in this 1982 slasher. It's pretty typical of these types of 80's slasher movies. Slow build up of the killer stalking and killing everyone with the usual showdown at the end. The killer is just some random escaped murderer and it tells you 5 minutes in the movie. The acting isn't very good, the dialog and characters are dull, the story is 80's cliché and a lot of the kills are offscreen. Even the gore and fx are below average. If you like old-school slashers this is on the low end of the scale but there are worse ones.

A Solar Eclipse of Common Sense: Hollywood's Latest Propaganda Piece

Hollywood's latest sci-fi disaster proves that common sense is being consumed faster than our sun. Humanity's survival is entrusted to a busted-looking redhead, with a character lineup that's pure diversity quota: a competent black security guard, a clumsy white scientist who's last to arrive, and a DEI panel that does nothing until the token white male shows up. The film transparently compensates for casting Ryan Gosling by cramming in every anti-white trope possible. This isn't filmmaking—it's propaganda. Science takes a backseat to sermonizing, with characters reduced to demographic checkboxes and narrative sacrificed for ideological purity. The result is an intellectually dishonest lecture disguised as entertainment that treats its audience like they need remedial social justice training rather than a good story.

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.
