Mediocre movie, full of female pandering

Temu Pixar.

Luca did everything better. Except the Hispanic ethnic bits, which Coco did _way_ better.

To think they had to pull up 3 post-disaster Pixar second-stringers for this.

The best bit was the Sagan monologue at the end. Not an endorsement, they just bought the audio clip.



Edit: current head of Pixar confirmed the movie was slated to be gayer, but they scrubbed it because money.
Missed a big spot. About 90 minutes long.

Fun Zombie movie!

(No Spoilers)

Fun classic war movie meets zombie movie but it is subtitled. (Watch it in the original Spanish audio.) It's in the realm of Overlord meets The Guns of Navarone. Other than some light typical feminist bologna, it's got nothing woke in it.

Movie Rating: 6.5/10
Wokenss: 1.5/10 (Not very woke.)

IMPRESSIVE

Based solely on the first season, I can say this is one of the best adult animated series in its genre, violent, raw, and primal, set in the age of dinosaurs and Neanderthals, with a heavy dose of fantasy. The main character doesn’t speak, and the fact that it still completely hooks you is genuinely impressive.

I can confidently say the first season isn’t woke. I don’t really remember the couple of episodes I saw from season two, so I’m planning to rewatch it to get up to speed before starting season three.

I should clarify that I only recommend the first season. Even though Tartakovsky is the creator, these days you really can’t be sure what’s been filtered through the DEI era. That said, I’d absolutely bet on the first season.

Enjoy it!

ℹUPDATE:
I made it through season two, where it leans more into Mira, Spear’s partner, and got about halfway into season three before I dropped it. The reason was something I’ve felt way more on TV news and Social Media than from movies or shows: "black fatigue" and "female fatigue". So the woke angle feels forced in here mostly because the storytelling isn’t traditional; the narrative is driven almost entirely by action since nobody talks, so they didn’t really have many other options. They pack the screen with oppressed people of color and frame white characters as the enemy, and you can see the fingerprints of the agenda all over it.

So my final verdict: only season one is worth recommending. Maybe a couple of episodes at the start of season two, and the first episode of season three. The rest is just bursts of propaganda mixed into a slow cooked animation soup.

It’s not woke. And I don’t really know how to fully define it, because I didn’t manage to finish the series.

⚠ SPOILER ALERT ⚠
after about 17 minutes into episode 3, the protagonist does something incredibly stupid, which made me drop it altogether. Up until then, the humor (within what you can reasonably call realistic for that kind of physical comedy) was fairly grounded. But that decision turned the situation from funny into just dumb, and it stopped being fun for me. But that’s just my personal take.

Aside from that, it’s great. I laughed during the first two episodes. Bottom line: it’s not woke, and it’s fine to watch with the whole family.

1984 slasher horror movie with nothing woke. It's nothing original story wise, the usual group of kids staying in a house inhabited by a crazed killer. The one thing holding this back from being a little above average is the absolutely terrible acting. There are some inventive kills and a ton of blood and gore but the acting is just so bad it's really hard to sit through it.

Too woke to finish

Made it less than 20 minutes, and had more woke then I could take.

30 minutes was enough for me. Mediocre to bad acting and very little story. In those 30 minutes virtually nothing happened. In a movie that's only 93 minutes long that's is some very slow pacing. Everything screams low budget amateur hour, from sets, to the camera angles. The director even gave himself a part in the movie if that tells you anything. The psychic's acting in particular is bad. She's an annoying smug irritating person. As for woke, this is small town America with too much DEI overrepresentation. The sheriff is a white male who seems to be a lazy alcoholic, his desk officer is an obese black female, and he hires another officer who is a black male. All the white male's I saw in the first 30 minutes are bad. The aforementioned alcoholic sheriff, the white trash loser and the white male pedophile woman beater. I think we can see where this was going. Best to pass on this one.

Another average slasher from the 80's. Pretty generic and nothing really new. The acting and writing is average, the kills are basic with little blood and gore. It will pass the time as background noise but that's about it. Nothing woke.

A gore classic.

One of the best classics in the gore fantasy genre, with a uniquely diabolical theme. It inspired tons of movies and sequels -unfortunately, not all of them are good.

This is where it all started. This is where the Lemarchand Box was born, also known as the Lament Configuration, and sometimes casually called the Black Box or the Cube.

An excellent classic to revisit if you’re into the genre.

Very accurate telling of an interesting, true story.

I love football, and sports movies. I appreciate good acting and accuracy in biographical movies. This one is all that.

Zach and Anna played their parts to perfection. Direction and production are top tier.

As unlikely as it may seem, they didn't embellish or white-wash this story. Anna seemed kind of butch, but I remember seeing Brenda Warner in interviews. If anything, Anna didn't reach far enough into the she-Marine persona. The only inaccuracy, if you want to call it that, was Kurt's time in the European NFL Farm League during his first year with the Rams. They skipped that part and took him directly from the Arena Football League to his winning season with the Rams. If this was a mini-series instead of a 90 minute movie, they might have covered that part.

Since this is the true story of the Rams 1999, Super Bowl winning season, there's no spoiler in saying that the victory at the end was dramatic. The way they morphed into the real footage of Kurt's Super Bowl win followed by his celebration with his team and trophy was great cinema.
