Great series

Woke-free and generally a great series. Gets a bit shaky in the 3rd season but the first 2 are top tier.

Some major plot holes: Even though Marco removed his and Raymond's implants from the back, both of them were still able to get controlled! If there are 2 implants, what's even the point of the back one? Was Raymond always being controlled, or did he want all of it? Because if he were controlled, he wouldn't keep saying sorry while unaliving the senator, or he wouldn't say that he was the enemy when he met with Marco during the voting.

A real classic from the glory days of SNL

This is a musical. Instead of show tunes, it's loaded with amazing Chicago Blues and Soul legends. John Lee Hooker, Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Cab Calloway, Ray Charles, and the musical talents from SNL such as Donald Dunn, Matt Murphy, Steve Cropper, Willie Dixon, etc. In my opinion, it's a must-see, comedy classic.

Completely over-the-top action fun.

This is one of my favorite re-watch flicks. It's great action comedy. Jesse plays an emotionally damaged character who was programed by a top-secret government agency. He has no memory of any of that so he bumbles his way through figuring things out. A small town stoner, loser dude has mad skills that he's unaware of and a girlfriend that's way above his status. It's been a while since I've watched it but, I don't remember any woke elements.

A new, classic 80s-style suspense-horror flick!

A refreshingly unwoke film that ticks the boxes and delivers on its promise. It's a fun, popcorn thriller with a smooth soundtrack and lots of 80s callbacks. Suspenseful and violent, this movie has a classic feel with a satisfying ending. I won't spoil the surprise twist (and savvy viewers might guess it) but I can say Chekhov's 'gun' makes a welcome appearance as does the obligatory spooky maze.

The agent of change is ruthless but many of us might have wanted a guardian angel or mysterious benefactor just like this. As one of the hapless victims muses, "be careful what you wish for"...

The ironic thing is that if the Final girl had not gone nosing around then presumably nothing untoward would have happened to her family. The extreme conditioning would not have kicked in and there would have been no blow-back. In a sense, she invoked bad things but remained blithely unaware of her agency in it. Of course, this salutary lesson will be missed by many and even that won't detract from the fun. If you like 80s suspense-horror flicks then you will probably enjoy this one.

Very creative, suspenseful, and terrifying at times.

This was truly a very creative movie in the horror genre. Feminist Hollywood still can't just make a movie without portraying men as weaklings or predators and they managed to do both here. Still, even with the woke trash, there is still enough on the bone to really enjoy this. Inde Navarrette did an amazing job as Nikki and Michael Johnston did a good job as well. The director and writer Curry Barker's budget was only $750k and it has grossed over $300 million so far. He could be a director to watch moving forward.

Another throwback set in the 80's slasher movie. This one actually does a pretty good job with the setting. The clothes, hair, sets and language
are for the most part pretty good. These 'college' kids for the most party actually look the part with the exception of the female lead. The actress is 30 and while that's not so unusual to see that now in the 80's would of been highly unlikely. The acting is mostly good and the writing is pretty
well done, at least most of it is. This is marketed as a slasher/horror but It's not really. I would call this more of a serial killer/thriller. The last 20 or so minutes throws some hidden twists at you and starts to really stretch believability, this is also where the writing takes some hits as well. The sudden twists make earlier events questionable and there is a lot left unexplained or things that no longer make any sense. It would of worked much better as just a straight up 80's style slasher. Maybe worth a one time watch but I thought the ending really fell apart and dragged the whole thing down. Nothing really woke. There is a female forest ranger. Women were not allowed in the field as forest rangers until 1978 so a female ranger in the 80'swould be very rare but not impossible. It never says exactly what year it is but given some of the set pieces used it would most likely be later 80's

Non woke movie that has a B-rate movie feeling

It's not going to win Hollywood awards, and that's ok.
-It goes into many of today's political hot topics.
-Several scenes were questionable, making the main character a villain rather than a vigilante.
-The fluff interviews were a bit hammy with all the praise, and would have been better if there was someone to dissent and be a mouthpiece to show how crazy the media and politicians are.
-The camera work in some places was a bit much, every other second switching back and forth nearly a dozen times.
-The main actors were great
-Other than all that, it got the point across well.

Highly recommended

I loved this show, it constantly kept me going back and had my attention the whole time.

The one woke element is the old "black woman cop is the one who solves everything" and of course easily takes out several guys in one scene. But she doesn't have the full usual cuntish attitude, just a little bit of that vibe and not enough to ruin it. She wasn't totally unbearable like women in some other recent shows that I turned off.

That is the oly real woke thing I can point out, other than that highly recommended. One of the best shows i've seen in a while.

Despite what anyone thinks of Baldwin or the on set tragedy this movie should be rated on it's own merit so here goes. There's no denying the
cinematography is beautiful and the acting is pretty good. The sets look good and it's a well made film. The beginning was a bit confusing and
didn't make a lot of sense. The accidental shooting and the way if happened is a little odd (not a spoiler it's in the movie description). The writing is mostly pretty good but there are some moments of stupidity such as chasing off one of the horses to mislead any pursuers but doing so without taking the supplies an bedding off of it first was just stupid. By around the 45 minute mark the kid was starting to get annoying with his utter refusal to accept the reality of his situation. There's not a lot of action or gunfights and what little there is nobody seems to be able to hit targets right in front of them at pretty close range. At nearly 2 1/2 hours the movie seems way to long and slow. I found the whole thing kind of boring and was starting to lose interest by the 1 hour mark so I could of missed something in the second half. There is a scene where a man known as 'preacher' who's family has a history of being bounty hunters who hunt down runaway slaves goes to a whorehouse
and beds a black prostitute. Completely random pointless scene that feels like a DEI woke moment for the sake of it. If you like your westerns more slow drama then you may like this better than I did.

Great vampire story

This is my favorite vampire movie. It's subtitled and there are some cultural differences. It's slow moving with longer scene times than typical American cinema. There's zero wokeness, even though it's Swedish. There's no jump-scare or gross-out scenes. It's just a good, well-told story.

I have not read the original book this is based on, I have seen the original Swedish movie though it has been so long I don't remember it that much. Given the originals are a Swedish Scandinavian story they sure went out of their way to DEI up the casting. Single mom and boy that live next door are now black and the vampire character is now of Spanish/Pilipino mixed race and her guardian from the originals is now her father played by a Mexican actor. The aforementioned
black mom is a detective with an Asian partner. There is an insane amount of DEI and a ridiculous lack of white people in general with most of those being female, except the white male junkie of
course. The scene of the kid in the school cafeteria shows almost no white kids. The gift shop owner appears to be a gay Asian.
A flashback scene shows the mom played by a Brazilin actress so not sure where the half Pilipino kid comes from but whatever.
The acting is ok generally except the child actor that plays Eli is pretty poor. There is a very bad CG shot in the first episode of her running and climbing a tree. Why make that CG at all? This feels like another one of these adaptations where they try to stretch out a single book into an ongoing series by adding a bunch of nonsense not in the original and just changing everything so much it barely resembles the original. One episode was enough for me.
