Decent movie

Not great but not horrible. Only really great thing about it is Mel Gibson.

I only made it to 30 min but nothing really woke at that time. Listed as a thriller it's basically husband cheats on his wife than is harrased by
the other woman and blackmailed. The scenery and cinematography is great, at least until they get onto the hot air balloon. At this point the terrible green screen is so poorly done and noticeable. The biggest issue though is the awful acting. Although it says it is from the U.K it's like they hired all non English speaking actors. All of the lines are delivered with this sort of stilted dialogue it is so distracting and unnatural. By 30 minutes I just couldn't keep going and the story seemed like it was going to be very slow and unoriginal anyway.

An odd little forgotten gem from the 70's

Mother, Jugs & Speed is an odd black comedy from the 70's with Bill Cosby and Raquel Welch. And Larry Hagman. There's a handful of quite cringe scenes, including one where Hagman tries to have sex with an unconscious women in the back of their ambulance, and there's 70's style sexism and racism with a bit of resolution to that at the end.

I'm rating this because it's kind of a forgotten film that's held up pretty well over the years despite the 70's era not giving Raquel Welch her woman's rights and over-the-top craziness from Hagman's part. There's also more than enough darker moments to surprise the viewer. If you look just a little deeper, you get a ton of one-liners out of this one too.

Nothing really woke. Another 80's set comedy that actually does a pretty good job of getting the period right. Unfortunately it's just not
that funny. The acting is ok and the writing is decent but there's a lot of eye rolling too stupid comedy. While there is a few good genuine laughs it's not enough. It feels like it's on the verge of what could of been a great comedy, there are some really good setups for funny scenes but the punchlines and payoff too often miss the mark. The whole time I was watching it I kept visualizing ways the scenes could of been so much funnier. It's still kind of watchable but it just misses the mark a little too much in my opinion. This movie spends a lot of time bordering on hilarious it's a shame it rarely manages to get there.

It was a struggle to make it 30 minutes into this movie, not because it's woke or really bad but because it's sleep inducing levels of
boredom. Listed as a sci-fi thriller it is anything but thrilling. It's a psychological drama about astronauts in space and questioning their sanity. I feel like we get a couple of these exact same movies every year. Half the movie is flashbacks but everything is just so boring and nothing
happens. The acting is so so but Casey Afleck seems to be on valium the entire time delivering every line like he's struggling to stay awake, its
so monotone and emotionless. I didn't notice anything really woke but I was bored and losing interest pretty quickly.

Holy Hell Running Man is in-your-face

Spoiler alert. I can't give The Running Man more than half a chance. I gave up on this movie. If I missed anything good, maybe the ultra-pro commie rhetoric that other reviews speak of, let me know.

Completely unknown Alyssa Benn plays Ben's wife. She's kind of a looker, but the couple is absolutely so mixed that it's kind of not even realistic. She even kind of speaks jive.

Jesus. The first half hour, we're bombed with the aforementioned mixed race couple, a rant on the rich ("those rich people are more full of shit than me" to paraphrase), yet another black-n-white lesbian couple and, naturally, the oppressive hand of those capitalist swine leaning heavily on the backs of those little people.

I was skeptical this film could be as terrible as this. Like, I'd go in and see it's got Glen Powell who I think is cool, maybe it has some action and all of this propaganda could be discounted for that. I always think like that and I'm always wrong. This film is absolutely nothing but a vehicle for the liberal message. These commies should have dropped leaflets from a helicopter. That's how transparent all of this is. I suspect most involved have more cash than myself, so campaigning on being a commie is disingenuous anyhow.

LEFTIES RAGE

Another Glen Powell movie that tries to pose as progressive and liberal but ends up being more trash heavy on political propaganda and basically pushing the idea that communism is the best answer. This time they didn’t even bother to hide it. In the "Twisters" movie they at least tried to mask it with different angles and paid a ton of journalists to say “it’s not woke,” but here they shove it in your face not subtly, either, with a Che Guevara image as a nod to revolution or the anarchy ⩜ symbol. On top of that there’s constant moralizing from the people of color, who are the only “good” characters, while the villains are all white — except the protagonist, because he’s an “ally” married to a Black woman.

Yet another wasted opportunity; without all that extra stuff the movie could've been an okay popcorn movie, but the nonstop moralizing and trying to lecture the audience is annoying and pulls you right out of the film, slapping you in the face and making you realize there's still a long way to go before the lefties loses enough money to learn that "get woke go broke.

Very Unlike Melissa Joan Hart. Couldn't watch.

I admit I had a crush on Melissa Joan Hart in the very early 90's when she played Clarissa on Nickelodeon and again as Sabrina. I've kind of followed her on and off throughout the years. She just seems nice, like a good person, and that's why this film stinks. After she comes on to the Warlock apartment manager in order to stay and a few other grotesque displays, it was time for Rent Control to end.

There's no woke elements, but there's something wrong with her boyfriend. He leaves the apartment in the 2nd act for one reason or another, but they get back together. I think Melissa keeps teasing him with the prospect of sex and never gets around to it, so maybe he's just frustrated. I have to say, skip this movie.

This one was a little hard to rate as there are so many seasons. The first seven seasons are peak Archer, with great storylines, voice acting, and
spot on humor. I would say there is no woke in these seasons even though there are some comments it's done more in a humorous way and the show pretty much makes fun of everything with nothing being really preachy or annoying. There is a gay character and minorities show up as guest stars but again nothing is done in a woke agenda way. Then season 8,9, and 10 change and go to individual self contained theme seasons. These are a step down in quality with completely different character personalities. These seasons also start to see a little more of social justice woke stuff start to intrude a bit. It's
still not terrible but it starts to become noticeable. Season 8 is the weakest of these 3 themed seasons and i would even say is maybe skippable altogether. Season 11 is a return to normal storylines but again it's a step down in quality. A little more woke
pushes it way in and is starting to become annoying. Characters personalities are different and the humor isn't as good but this is in my opinion the last decent season. The main writer left after this season and there are a bunch of new writers after this. Season 12,13 and 14 are unwatchable woke garbage with characters almost unrecognizable now and pretty much every woke talking point and leftist nonsense injected. The jokes are stale, recycled poorly from previous seasons and all the humor is gone. There are tons of guest stars that are all woke DEI characters and a lot of leftist political storylines. Archer has been
reduced to an idiot, neutered cuck and Lana is now a screeching angry harpy that just screams every single line of dialog. I would suggest watching at least season 1-7 and if you really enjoyed those maybe 8-11 but don't waste your time after that. The only reason I'm giving it a 4 overall is because there are far more excellent to good seasons then there are terrible ones.

As others stated the only woke is some DEI overrepresentation in background characters. It's a minor thing and not even that many scenes. I can't give it a woke rating based on that alone. As far as these Conjuring universe movies go it's up there with the rest of them in my opinion. The acting is great, the FX are pretty good. There is a minimal use of jump scares and more about building tension, sounds and visuals just out of focus and actual terror. This takes place in the 80's and it actually feels like it unlike so many period movies now that just throw some music and pop culture references in and think they did good. Everything from the film style, the clothes, the décor the attitudes, they got it all right. I've been watching these from the beginning and for me this did not disappoint.

C'mon already and get back together.

At an hour and 45 minutes, give or take, it's taking an extraordinarily long time for Zooey and Charlie to get back together and by the end, even the dimmest of all watchers know what's about to happen. Typical romance comedy stuff with just one thing that makes the film stand out: pups.

There's a ton of doggies and pup-related stuff in this film. Maybe a little over the top on the dogs, but I must say if you don't like this movie because of the doggies, or just don't like animals in general, that's just wrong... to say the least. Is it woke for telling the viewers to flat-out adopt a pet from the shelter? If so, that makes me a woke liberal.

Fun movie. About 30 minutes too long.

Important: Claire background noise for most of this film.

I'm upping the woke level for Oh. What. Fun. because it actually does kind of bash men and the mom is a bit more annoying than the original review lets on. Other reviews are correct here. I seem to remember there was kind of a silly action scene for about 15 minutes towards the end the I thought was funny, which would explain the higher rating.

Not sure what happened in Acts 1 and 2. The movie was quite unfunny, at least for me and I was expecting kind of a fun movie. Lucky for us, that all changes about a half hour before the film ends. Go ahead and use this as background noise for any time before that. The characters are translucent, of course one is a lesbian. Get to know them for a minute or so in preparation for the last half hour.

It's a bit Leave it to Beaver around moms, and it gets more life lesson preachy and especially sappy towards the very end, but yeah, from about a half hour towards the end of the film, for 15 minutes, Oh What Fun is fun. And I dig Michelle Pfeiffer. She's cool.

For a Rom-Com mom Christmas movie, I say give it a whirl. I even bumped the overall rating up a little as I made it though the movie. It's a little too mom focused to be in my Christmas rotation, but good for a watch.
