Awake not Woke!

It says it's based on a true story but I didn't care enough to check on accuracy tot he facts. The acting is average and passable I guess. It's another movie with annoying stupid characters doing dumb things and nobody is likable. Set in 1967 it never really feels like it. They just through some sort of period clothes and and hair in and call it a day. The attitudes and speech are all off. A positive is they used an actual real bear instead of CG. This means it looks great. Unfortunately it also means you will never see the bear and actors in the same scenes so all the 'attacks' are badly shot close ups of bears pawing and biting sleeping bags and cuts to people getting slowly drug away by a person just off screen. No tension or realism to any of the scenes. It's all pretty slow and gets very boring very quickly. I stopped paying attention around the 50 minutes mark somewhere but I'm not really sure why this is rated R. There are no on screen attacks, the small amount of blood and a few post attack quick shots of wounds are nothing you wont see on tv anymore and i don't even remember there being any language. It's all very sanitized PG content. As for woke there are 2 token black characters that seem unlikely in 1960's Montana mountains. The female ranger seems to be far more competent than her dumb lazy male counterparts and naturally has to deal with sexism. The female characters in general are smarter and able to keep it together more than the overly emotional dumber men.

Holy Shit I was Confused

We got the original to re-watch and I've been putting it off because I remember the review on WokeRNot saying it's full of lesbians and bisexuals and utterly woke. I had no idea they remade this film in 2025 and there you have it, that's where the all the woke horseshit comes from. The original is actually a great film. I keep asking AI why Hollywood keeps remaking these films. It says easy money is the reason. Nostalgia. Maybe I'll ask why they must make them so woke.

More talking than story

Cheap, half-baked movie that feels like it was written by a blind guy’s feet; with an unoriginal script where they just keep arguing and talking in a genre that’s supposed to be “show, don’t tell” and on top of that, it’s woke too. I couldn’t even make it past 30 minutes.

Rise of King David with a lot of music and less violence.

This movie is a composite of some of the events in David's life, leading up to being king over Israel. The David and Goliath scene skipped the part where David beheaded Goliath with his own sword. There were more instances of violence being removed or reduced. There was a lot of music. Too much for my preference. I would suggest that parents watch this with their children and then discuss the Biblical account as they see fit. It's their responsibility so they should make that decision.
