Nowhere in western Europe it looks like this anymore

Feels like a documentary about a extinct species.

Woke wise its just some of the things the girl says but its very tame and nothing like modern day woke.

Not too bad, decent story

I couldn't detect any elements of wokeness in this movie. It is a heartwarming tale about a brother and sister whose parents are going through a potential separation. They have to learn to get along with one another and ultimately the family comes back together. There's a bit of a twist ending, which my daughter seemed to like. I would trust this to be seen by kids. There are some scarier scenes for the really little ones since it does deal with dreams and nightmares.

Compared to a much larger budget kids film, the writing is, I would say, okay, but not on par with some of the major films out there from Pixar, etc.

The first couple of episodes had a lot of promise and started off great but then it started to go downhill and completely fell apart by the
final couple episodes. The acting is pretty good but the story and writing while good at the start collapse pretty quickly. It's also based on
a true story but very, very loosely, as in most of this never happened. This is one of those shows that just wants to be weird and throw as many mysteries at out as possible while answering very few of them. The answers at the end you do get don't hold up to any sort of logic. Everybody in this a horrible person and plain unlikable outside of the main family. So the premise is this family moves into a new house and gets threatening letters from someone called the watcher. Except there are only ever 2 letters and they aren't even that threatening. If these people would of just ignored the letters and dealt with their annoying neighbors like any real person would have this would of never happened. This couple is so easily swayed it's infuriating, one comment and they are instantly convinced the watcher is some new person without any thought or evidence even when it makes no logical sense at all. They don't do anything a normal rational person would do in this
situation. You have what appears to be a community effort including police corruption and they just do nothing. How do they not have an attorney or contact the state police, or the state A.G office. The writing gets lazier and more full of holes the further into it you go. While the show in itself isn't overly woke there is the token 19 year old black kid who lives out his moms house and runs a security company out of a van. Right, that's who your hire for security. The white 16 year old daughter is naturally immediately infatuated with him. The black female
private investigator seems like a DEI miscast. There's a few random comments throughout as like black kid makes a comment about how him walking into a police statin with a layer is different for him then a white person, and the daughter posts a public video calling her parents racist because they don't want her seeing a black guy,
not because he's 19 and she's 16. There's a few others as well. Actually now that I think about it the only 2 people that are portrayed as decent normal and smart are the 2 black characters. I made it all the way to the end as the first 3 or 4 episodes really do grab you and have an excellent setup just be prepared for a big letdown if you decide to watch it.

Gave up after five minutes

Forced interracial couple

Sneaky derogatory comment against lawful use of firearms

How broke is Mel Gibson that he needs to do this drech.

Anti-America, Anti-White, Anti-Male

Emasculating, pro-illegal immigrants, fight the patriarchy, defer to authority, "boss bitch", did I miss something? It's blatant fitting of all right-wing values and virtues into some sick-twisted perversions to make them all look evil. Disgusting rewrite of a beloved childhood memory and cultural anchor of an entire generation. Absolutely SHAMEFUL woke trash. Do NOT show this to your young sons. Show them the old originals, not this trash. It's whole purpose is to manipulate a new generation.

Bugonia and those forgotten Academy Award winners

I did like Poor Things from Yorgos Lanthimos. Did it deserve an award? No. Nominated films today do not deserve any awards. Zero. Half the time they're forgotten in 10 seconds. Think: Captain Phillips and Barkhad Abdi. Bugonia is heading for an Academy nomination and it's not terrible, not great either.

I had to fast forward most of the second half due to disgust of the main "antagonists". Don and Teddy are far too eccentric and full of nonsense that they need to be skipped, but I do like Emma Stone and she adds a lot to the film. Holy Christ, I forgot she was in Movie 43. That film was awful. I think Yorgos and Stone's collaboration is moving her career in a fun direction.

And we all saw the twist at the end coming.

As for the not-so-subtle Hollywood leftist psychobabble in Bugonia: it's there alright, but I'm taking a pass on calling it out since it kind of fits the narrative. Kind of. Like other reviewers said on this site, just because it's there doesn't immediately woke score the entire film. You'll know it when you see it if you watch Bugonia and it's worth a watch, just not an Academy award which it will for sure receive.

It's not overly woke despite the mixed race couple. The lead actor is a trans male pretending to be female. It's pretty obvious right from the start. There is an out of nowhere make out scene with trans and a woman. It is completely pointless to the story and feels so forced in just for the agenda. The acting is not great. The pace is very slow choosing to spend a lot of time on the family drama. The story makes no sense with holes everywhere in the writing. While I did finish it I wasn't paying a lot of attention for the last half hour so I may have missed some things. These 'creatures' let's call them, that are chasing her don't ever actually do anything. They just chase her them stop scream and reach towards her. Yes it's creepy but after the first couple time you realize nothing is
going to happen, and it's no longer effective. Then there is the weird groundhog day affect when they scream. It just is it's never explained. The creatures seem to want to reproduce by catching you sleeping and spitting eggs in you mouth that then travel to the ovaries. Last I checked that's not how that works, I mean they would end up in
the stomach. The 2 guys in the hallway shooting at each other was stormtrooper levels of aiming. There's small things like the family showing up at the resort with a dog who just vanished never to be seen again. Lazy writing again. There's not any blood or gore to speak of save one scene so if that's your thing don't bother.

Feminism Ruins Another Good Show!

Season 1 was good, but season 2 has elevated the feminist empowerment of all main female characters even killing off Monty Miller the oil tycoon so he could be replaced by GI Jane who wears the permanent Halloween mask of cosmetic surgery gone wrong. But as long as the feminist narrative is forced on viewers to the detriment of season one's credibility nothing else matters, right? I guess I should be glad it isn't transgenderism.

Visually Beautiful, Flat Story

Not much woke here at least in the form of a heavy handed agenda. The film does a hard stop in the movie so the male Sasquatch can choose his own name… “Susan.” It’s meant to be comedy, but it’s meh and there’s some they/them pronouns thrown around for good measure to set up the joke. It just falls flat.

There’s a great bit of chatter about evolution more as an evolved way of thinking rather than in a missing link sort of way. Look beneath the surface, you’ll see the preachy woke plainly. But if you watch this superficially, you can be entertained.

Like I said, it is visually stunning. Not heavy handed. Just dull in my opinion. Your results may vary.

Not a cell phone made movie

With so many absolutely terrible movies made by anyone with a cell phone and a few spare cardboard boxes these days, I had few expectations for Dog Fugitive. But, I really like dogs and Dr. Fluffy is a cute little pup. First on the list: Dr. Fluffy's voice is grating just like Stuart Little and my wife hates that mouse, so our pup didn't win any popularity points with her. The story is kind of silly. Like, everyone talks to Dr. Fluffy like she's human and completely ignores the fact that she's a talking dog. And she wears disguises and sunglasses and even robs a convenance store for a little while.

Some of the scenes really had me laughing for no reason. Dr. Fluffy sitting at the dinner table or in a lawn chair. She's actually quite talented. I want to know how they got her to stay still in some of these scenes. Anyhow, this is absolutely not a homemade movie with high school drama club kids acting. It ain't good either, but done well enough that I'd recommend it for anyone just chilling out looking for a stupid laugh. Unless you don't like Stuart Little.

All woke, no funny

There's not much to be said about this. It's just a woke-fest, unfunny, liberal agenda in movie format. Hemsworth destroyed masculinity in this one.

Avocado or Clam Dip. Are you marinading me?

These cannibal women are super weird. The movie takes a ton of sideways smacks at the women's liberation movement and the N.O.W. back in the day. Wow! Remember them? Hey. They're still around, eating granola and not shaving.

Anyhow, there's not much to say about Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death. It often borders on cringe but the movie is lighthearted enough for us to forgive them for it. Men are not food stuffs.
