Awake not Woke!

Shows some she-he cross dressers

I went into this knowing nothing about it or the Stephen King short story it's based on. I thought it was a straight forward cursed object horror movie and wasn't to impressed until well into it I realized it was a horror comedy. Knowing that suddenly makes the whole movie much better. There's nothing scary and all the very over the top gory kills are more funny and cartoonish than anything. The comedy works and it feels like a Final Destination movie with a heavy dose of dark humor. The acting is good notable the lead actor who plays 2 very different roles as twins. One weird thing is the first part is set in 1999 and I thought I saw it wrong and it was 1979. Never does it ever feel like it's in the 90's and when it jumps forward 25 years to 2024 it feels almost the same like it's still the same time period. It's a bit strange but doesn't overall hurt the movie. The only thing woke is a couple of DEI casting choices and a group of DEI school girls bully the white male boy. It's very short scenes and barely warrants a woke rating, but it's there so it gets a 1.

Not sure why the woke ratings, it shows both good and bad white people

Hugh Jackman is more than just Wolverine.

Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson are amazing performers. Imitating Neil Diamond is quite an accomplishment. Hugh nailed it. Kate also did an impressive Patsy Cline. The only wokeness I saw would be what looked like a drag queen in the background during a scene backstage. I expected more, but there was no agenda I could see. This is a hard-hitting family drama with some great musical performances.
