Prescient, as they say, but a bit long and melancholy

It's hard to tell if Romy Schneider was past her prime in Death Watch or not since I adore her and she holds up well in this film. And the film has a pretty fine cast all around, it's just that the story and, I think, character development could have been so much more.

Compared to modern films, Death Watch is heads and tails above anything today, but it really is depressing. These characters have layers, for sure, but they're overshadowed by the dreary atmosphere and oftentimes off-putting story.

Of course, there's nothing woke at all in this film, so I recommend watching it on an early Saturday morning, maybe if you wake too early with a minor hangover. It's that kind of film to watch.

Some things you just can't unsee. I don't know really who this garbage is for. The animation is like a 90's to early 2000's cartoon network show. The voice acting is ok i guess, but this is what happens when you let a bunch of sex crazed immature middle schoolers who think they are funny write a movie script. Nobody else will think this is funny. It's just a bunch of the dirties raunchiest toilet humor jokes you can thing of done for maximum shock value. Everything revolves around sex jokes. This could of been funny if it explored how dogs actually might think or communicate but that's not what this is, it's very human centric mentality but they just animated dogs instead. I don't think I laughed once in the entire movie and I actually managed to finish this skid mark of a movie, I just kept watching not believing it kept getting worse. It's not just the jokes either there is a disturbing amount of animated animal sex scenes and animated dog balls and a-holes. Up until close to the end of the movie I actually wouldn't say there is anything really woke,
then the dogs find a back alley sex club, with a intersex Doberman bouncer. Said Doberman gives a speech to a small confused male dog
that is very clearly meant to push the gay/trans agenda then the 2 proceed to have a long graphic oral sex scene. The voice of the Doberman is of course a they/them rainbow mafia activist. There is also a scene after that where the main characters female love interest is about to breed with another male dog so he jumps into the middle and presents his ass so the male dog has sex with him instead in yet another very long graphic male on male dog sex scene. Given these 2 graphic unnecessary scenes and the sort of cutesy style animation that could attract kids to such a sexually graphic movie I'm maxing out the woke score.

Cringe comedy at it's worst. There is nothing funny in the 35 minutes I sat through. I actually felt embarrassed for the actors delivering these lines. The jokes are stale, corny and you can see most of them coming minutes before they are delivered. I don't know if the overacting and ham-fisted line delivery is directed to be that way or if the writing is just so bad it comes across as bad acting. There is far too much DEI in background characters for what is supposed to be a small redneck town. Even the token black character has an over the top redneck accent. The white mayor has a Philippine daughter who the white deputy is infatuated with. There is an entire conversation about being
tolerant of ethnic people, then they claim there are racists in the town. The black token makes a statement 'it's hard to be a black man around here.' I would guess the woke will get worse as it goes. All the signs are there.

A hidden gem this is not. A 1976 horror film that's average at best. The acting is not great although Brand gives an ok performance as
Judd the creepy hotel owner/killer. The story is nothing new, the kills are fairly generic with about what you would expect from
a 70's indie horror as far as blood and gore goes, passable but that's about it. The croc looks pathetically fake as do the outdoor
scenes of the hotel. It looks like a badly lit stage shot, nothing looks real. There is a very young Robert Englund here but he doesn't
get much to do really. This may be ok if you are really bored or looking for some background entertainment but don't expect much out of it. Nothing woke here.

I didn't realize until about 30 minutes in this is actually a sequel. The main couple and killer are lesbian and there is some minor DEI casting choices. This is anything but horror, it's a crazy woman who kills social media influencers. The acting and writing is all pretty bad. She is the dumbest killer ever, she has half of her face covered in a huge birthmark and is anything but inconspicuous yet obviously follows people around in public acting suspicious. She takes her victims phones and posts to their accounts after killing them even using her own laptop. Her girlfriend at the beginning is immediately suspicious of her for no reason as she hasn't done anything at that point to cause her to be. The whole thing is so slow and boring with lots of melodrama. There is no suspense or tension in anything. The whole movie plays out like one of those bad lifetime channel thrillers. There is a scene with what I am assuming is from the first movie with a survivor being interviewed saying she's done all this before in Thailand and she witnessed it and saw her as well as have camera footage of her yet nobody believer her or is able to find this very unique looking individual. The kills are very few and even they are unoriginal and bland. I made it 45 boring ass minutes of this and decided to move on.

Another bad series. I decided to check this out even though I knew it was cancelled after 2 seasons. Supposedly a dark comedy horror fantasy series this fails at all of them. The acting is average, but all the characters are unlikable or annoying. Nobody acts or talks like these people do. The daughter who is supposed to be in high school is clearly played by an actress in her 20's. While I don't care or get offended by swearing in movies there is a point where it's just ridiculous and over the top distracting. There are so many F bombs as well as everything else in this it's just silly. The wife randomly bangs the younger handyman in the kitchen and 3 months later the husband is acting like nothing big happened and is pretty much begging her to have sex with him. I mean
really, 3 months and they kind of treat it like a running joke around the house. The humor is weird and never funny, the so called 'horror' consists of jump scares and loud noises. The cinematography and camera angles look like a cheap CW show. Actually now that I think about it other then the language it's all very tame and
PG-13. I made it through 2 episodes and that was enough. It may get more woke as it goes on but in that time the only woke I really saw was maybe some DEI in secondary characters, the cuck husband and the next door neighbors are Asian and the daughter immediately goes after the Asian son. I'm actually surprised this made it a second season before getting dumped.

The Day the Earth Stood Still is one of the classic science fiction films of all time. Reviewers have said that in a time of men in monster suits and close-ups of oversized spiders, this film stands out and I agree.

The main flaw I've always felt is that the people of Earth are so dimwitted, arrogant and self-centered that they utterly disregard
Klaatu and Gort, even after they're told Earth will be zapped into oblivion. It somewhat annoys the viewer, but if we take a step back, nothing has really changed in modern times.

And, no. I haven't even watched the remake. What a disgrace. I wonder if they packed it full of woke ideology, though.

The other review here is pretty much spot on. 1970's dark comedy that plays a bit like a bunch of skits edited together into a full
length movie. There are some great one liners and laugh out loud moments mixed in with some darker more serious stuff. The acting is
pretty good and it is definitely politically incorrect by today's standards but it holds up pretty well and is worth a watch. It's not really woke even though racism and feminist rights are a theme, it's accurate to the time period and not in a preachy in your face way. For me it's somewhere between a 3.5 and a 4 so I rounded up for this one to a 4. If you like older movies not afraid to push the boundaries on dark humor maybe give this one a shot.

Nothing woke. Listed as a comedy, drama, action, it's more comedy than anything though there is some well done action. Good acting all around and the comedy is pretty funny in a sort of 90's buddy cop style movie but with hitmen instead. Older hitman is hiding for botching a job and looking to retire but has to teach his bosses bumbling son how to be a man and prepare to take over the family business by taking him on jobs. The writing is pretty good and the two leads work well together. The comedy only occasionally goes into the absurd and the weakest parts of the movie are the weird larping scenes. Those are few and easy to get past. Overall a good watch if you like buddy cop style action comedies.

Slow burn to nowhere.

The film is shit. It's so damn slow. I could care less to even turn subtitles on despite half the dialog being in Russian. It's going for tension, a slow burn that doesn't work in the end. The best part of I.S.S. is the outrageous anti-gravity space fights, but even those are slow probably due to the actual lack of gravity.

And an entire scene devoted to the affairs and relationships of the onboard space marine, ass-kicking, black lesbian. At this point, I'm going to increase the woke score for I.S.S. quite a bit for the only reason that all this nonsense is grating. We got a DEI space floating crew and does Ariana DeBose winning Best Supporting Actress for the remake of West Side Story (a.k.a. Trans Side Story) and being a queer IRL entitle her to demand representation on the I.S.S. or were the filmmakers bound by natural laws to include a queer shipmate? We will never know.

I'm sorry but this was awful. The acting is ok at best. Leary gives a subdued bored performance. Nobody is likable at all in this, especially the mom who is the central character and narrates the entire movie. She complains the entire movie that nobody pays attention to her and she has it so hard and nobody appreciates her yet she is a horrible self absorbed person who makes everything about her and actually ignores others while they are literally having a conversation with her. I would go so far as to say she has a mental disorder as she spends most of the movie acting deranged and not in a funny way. There are very few laughs to be had. The writing is abysmal and nothing makes sense. She's obsessed with a stupid tv personality and sends messages to her kids that there is a contest, but doesn't tell them she wants to be entered and they don't watch the stupid show so how would they know? She gets mad and seems to have a complete mental breakdown when they don't enter her. The entire family leaves to go to a disturbing kids Christmas basically male stripshow for some creepy reason and she gets left behind and nobody notices until they are all inside watching the creepshow. They all have phones and she has her own car but rather than call or just go meet them herself she does what any irrational mental patient would do and abandons her family without telling them anything to drive to CA for the stupid housewife tv show contest. The writing is beyond implausible and it just gets dumber and more ridiculous as it goes on. The jokes aren't funny at all and there are only a few humorous moments in the entire movie. The scene transitions are abrupt and jarring with poor editing. Multiple out of place weird dance sequences with characters that aren't funny. As for woke....well the first scene is the mom going on a rant about how Christmas movies are all about men while the wives and moms get ignored and they are the ones who do everything. The usual feminist oppression men have it made bs. All the male characters are losers, or betas, or just pathetic. The daughter is a successful writer while her husband (who acts very gay) is pathetic who has an odd obsession with the lesbian sister liking him. The son is a loser without a job who's girlfriend leaves him then falls for the Asian neighbor who is naturally very successful. The husband seems to do nothing all day and can't even manage to put together a doll house without calling in 2 male friends so they can sit around acting like confused morons who still can't figure it out. Who gives a giant pink doll house to both twin kids when one is a boy anyway!! The husband also has a breakdown when his wife leaves and starts crying saying he can't do anything without her and he won't survive. Back to the lesbian daughter, whos entire character is 'I'm a lesbian who can't find love so I go around banging every other lesbian I can find.' The Asian neighbor who lives across the street with entire Asian family except for the white husband, need to get that mixed race punch card filled. There is yet another scene toward the end with a bunch of
females sitting around male bashing and complaining how unappreciated moms and women are and they do everything and nobody helps them.

The best show ever made

Pro-family, pro-race realism, pro-nationalism.
The story, the voice acting, the gorgeous hand drawn animation, the score, the script all amazing.
A kind of suspense that slowly unveils the story with each episode, will make you binge it in a week at most.
You just HAVE to see it! Trust me!
