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.

'Inspired by a true story', except it's not, like at all. Literally the only thing that actually happened was Miami police raided a mans home and
found 22 million hidden in home depot buckets behind a wall. That's it, no cartel, no corrupt police, no murdered LEO, no shootout, no police chase, nothing. Even the officer that was involved in the production as an advisor wasn't there or involved with the real story at all.
In reality this is a completely fictional made up story, it didn't even happen in the city of Hialeah either. Sigh. As for the movie, well it's standard modern fare. The acting is pretty good and it's fine for mindless entertainment but the story and writing is not so great. It's the usual lazy writing with characters doing stupid things that trained special unit officer would do. If you don't pay too much attention it passes the time. While I don't mind Affleck or Damon they are a bit miscast in my opinion especially in the first half, they are still stuck in their Boston speech patterns and mindset, that's not how people talk in Miami, and what is with the constant nonstop F bombs, in every sentence by every character. It's not natural at all and just distracting. As for woke the diversity is not that far off given it's set in Miami but still can't help
but notice the core group consists of 2 white males, 1 Asian male, 1 black female and 1 Spanish female.


Spoiler..................
The other issue is the villains are all men and other than 1 are white
and corrupt police while the Columbian drug cartel is more honorable and not really that bad after all.

Although it was "inspired" by the same-name comic, its connection with the comic is way too low, almost zero. They just used the concept; everything else was made up.

Kids show. Don't expect too much.

There is nothing woke here. A German WWII movie about a tank crew going on a mission to pick up an officer across dangerous territory. This is more of a drama really than a typical war action movie. There were only 2 action scenes really in the entire movie. The acting is ok I guess but not the best. The dialogue was not very good but that's possibly partially due to the translation (I watched the subtitled version). The real problem though is I just didn't really care about the characters. There's also the problem that the cinematography varied a lot. Most of the wide shots looked pretty good but the close ups looked like either green screen or CG enhanced backgrounds. It all just looked off somehow. Up until the end I might of given this 2 stars but that twist ending. Why? It just doesn't really work here and makes the entire movie just seem pointless. Even if your a fan of war movies in general it's hard to see any real reason to watch this.

Interesting premise, woke production

After watching the first two full seasons, I can say the series has a really interesting premise that can hook people who like this genre, but everything gets handled and resolved through a woke lens.

To be clear about the kind of wokeness we're talking about: the very first episode (honestly, the first 20 minutes) is the ultimate test of tolerance. Right from the start, you can see how they portray white men, people of color, homosexuality, and women in positions of power making all the big decisions.

In my case, the first time I tried watching it I couldn’t stand how woke it was and dropped it. What made me give it a second chance were some random clips I saw on social media and ads that looked pretty interesting.
So, after checking the comments here and already knowing it was woke, I decided to try it again more out of curiosity about the premise than anything else. Now that I’ve finished both seasons and even rewatched some episodes, I’m raising the bar for wokeness. Just so you get an idea: it’s a Canadian production but everything is tied to the United States, so that already tells you the flavor of wokeness you’re getting.

Now, is it entertaining?
Yeah, if you enjoyed the later seasons of The Walking Dead when it turned into a soap opera where they waste time talking about their feelings. Here it feels like the emotional scenes are overdone and unnecessary, even if the script tries to justify them.

And finally:
Does the wokeness ruin it? I think that’s where they’re gonna fuck it up. Honestly, this isn’t the first woke series I’ve started, but I usually end up dropping them because the political messaging ruins everything. In this case it’s different. What’s actually starting to hurt the story is how you can tell the writers are fighting with each other. They contradict themselves from one episode to the next, making some things feel stupid or pointless. And I’m not even talking about the woke stuff. The problem is that the show isn’t based on any book or existing material, so a lot of it feels like it was written “on the go.” That leaves you wondering: Are they gonna screw me over like they did with Lost, Game of Thrones, or those other series where you invest a ton of time only to get a shit ending? Or do they actually have a real plan from beginning to end?

P.S.:
A couple of warnings for those who, like me, are drawn to the premise and want to know if it’s actually worth watching.

1- For the purposes of this site, I’ll be upfront: it’s very woke. The male lead who plays the Sheriff (who’s actually a really good actor, and the acting in general is solid) ends up getting kinda sidelined or belittled by female characters. Even when it’s not super forced, his actions are often reinforced or validated by something a woman says → which doesn’t really reflect reality.

SPOILER ALERT:

2- From the very beginning there’s a Karen-type character with tomboy vibes who’s the head of a communist organization that’s keeping the town divided (or at least that’s what they make you believe in the first episode). By the middle of season 2, she fully turns into this matriarch who struts around like she’s got a massive dick swinging in every single scene.

SAFE TO READ:

3- Lastly, I did a bit of digging and it looks like the show is already confirmed to end with a 5th season. Whether it sticks the landing is far from guaranteed though it’s from the same producers as Lost, and nowadays all their projects are packed with militant activist types. So yeah, that’s something to keep in mind.

Hope this helps.

The series revolves around demon hunting nuns in the catholic church. Could be decent in a sort of schlocky grindhouse over the top kind of way. The casting is DEI extravaganza of minority overrepresentation specifically where the black population is under 2%. Men are all bad or useless while the females are all badass. Why are only the nuns
warriors while all the priests are betas and seem to be morons. Why do the nuns all dress like medieval ninjas? The black nun is the usual aggressive unlikable girlboss type. 30 minutes into episode 1 and we have a obvious trans already. The leads acting is terrible. Her annoying constant voiceover narrations are even worse and just sound like she's sitting in a sound booth somewhere reading the reading the script.
Another show where the lead character is annoying and unlikable and not someone you care to waste time watching a show about.
The acting in general with a couple exceptions is pretty bad. 1 episode was enough for me especially when a quick search revealed as the show goes on there are many gay and lesbian characters introduced with major storylines revolving around same sex relationships. Cancelled after 2 season you say? A planned movie trilogy
to finish the so called storylines also cancelled after getting announced? Not surprising at all.

Nothing woke. Korean horror movie about a group who perform a séance and bring ghosts. Cliché and been done to death by now. The acting isn't very good the scares are lame and don't work and the whole thing is rather boring.

American action

Ok, people take this as woke 'cause there is a black main charachter. But it's not. Noone is trying to teach you something, no morality, no absurd feminism, nothing of this at all
