Woke before it even premieres

It’s not even out yet and it’s already woke as f!!!

You don’t even need to watch the trailer → just look at the casting choices and who’s playing who.

The lead actor is openly focused on LGBT community activism, hahaha. And that’s not even the point! An actor being whatever they are shouldn’t define a movie, but come on! The movie synopsis doesn’t even suggest they’re going to treat the source material with any respect.

Hasbro lost that a long time ago with the version they did on Netflix!!!

I mean → Kristen Wiig is RobotO!!!
And Idris Elba → a well-known activist who loves talking about regulations on knives → plays Duncan / Man-At-Arms.

Hahahahaha, this is gonna be a total shitshow all over the place.

What a joke!

There's bad writing then there's this. I called it quits after 30 minutes so this is the review based on that. Basically a med students brother
is in a botched robbery and they need to sneak into the morgue to collect evidence to protect him. The acting is pretty poor by almost everyone. The exception to this is the mortician and the lead female. The FX are actually not too bad and the basic plot could of been serviceable if not for the just brain dead writing on display. So the robbery in question takes place with her brother as the getaway driver sitting in the parking lot in the car waiting for the other guy to come out and escape but without the car actually running. His partner is shot and they are stupid enough to have planned it all through text on their phones so his sister is going to help him break into the morgue to get the cell phone back. Never mind that the cell phone would of been evidence collected at the crime scene not sent to the morgue. They go to see a veterinarian who he gets illegal Adderall from. Let's ignore that vets don't and can't write Adderall prescriptions, it's not used on animals. Her plan is to use Propofol to make it look like she's' dead of overdose and get sent to the morgue. Propofol is used as an iv drip sedative that only works if there is a constant drip, once stopped you wake up in about 10-15 minutes so would never work. But of course it does. She gets into the morgue to find out the morgue attendant is selling organs illegally on the black market. So they are harvesting organs from bodies that have been dead at that point for hours. Sounds plausible. She finds her ex boyfriend who was shot and pronounced dead at the crime scene who is hooked up to an iv in the morgue for some reason and surprise he's actually alive and gets up and walks around. WHAT?? He was shot and lying dead at a crime scene sounded by police and medics than transported to the morgue how many hours late and just suddenly wakes up and grabs her arm? That was it for me. There had to be an actual effort to write something this stupid. As for woke there's a lot of DEI overrepresentation. The white female leads ex boyfriend is naturally black.

For the viewers to decide

You Can't Teach Love is about a career-driven, corporate super woman crawling up that ladder to the top who just can't get a grip on being down-to-earth, much less take care of a child for a few weeks. She's late, doesn't bother to read instructions from the school, makes off handed comments about how the school is "free spirited" and littered with scooters and basically just shits on everything not corporate. All in the first 15 minutes until I just turned this slop off.

I imagine this film gets in your face regarding her career until, as is hinted early on, she gets "burned out" and must shed her pant suit for love of the kind of not-so-manly kindergarten teacher. Please, if you can watch the whole film, post a review!

How did I bloody miss this?

Bloody Hell isn't perfect but I'm giving it an excellent review anyhow because it's just awesome. So much damn fun, blood and guts, it's everything a film needs to be. There's just enough gore to be fun and even a little love thrown in as well.

Nothing woke. Check it out.

Good movie! Almost zero woke BS!

(No spoilers.)

If you're a fan of horror or the FD movies you'll love this one! It's genuinely a good movie, and it pays homage to the FD universe! Last movie for the actor Tony Todd (He died of cancer in 2024.) and it was great to see him as an addition. I'm very sensitive to the woke BS and there is almost nothing woke in this movie except maybe the obvious female lead characters as usual. (BUT, it doesn't feel woke... they don't have super human strength or anything ridiculous like in other movies.) For a horror movie, it was top tier!

Overall movie rating: 6.5 out of 10.
Wokeness: 2/10. (barely anything woke!)

A woke series made to provoke. Why?

Everyone knows it’s woke, they don’t even try to hide it. In fact, when the showrunner was asked “...what are you excited to share the fans?”, she literally said: “I am excited for the fans to dissect absolutely everything that they hate.”

So here we have a new step in the evolution of woke culture. Nothing that should really surprise anyone, considering everything that’s been going on lately.

The point is that this show is deliberately and maliciously made to destroy an already existing universe that used to be narratively solid (and, to be fair, it’s been getting wrecked for several series now). This isn’t just woke or even super woke → this is direct, in-your-face provocation. It’s the evolution of a movement that refuses to die.

The real question is:
Why are they doing this?

And the answer is simple, though not very transparent. They want to distract. They want to signal that they still exist. They’re dying, and just like the desperate shouting they do at street protests to get attention, they’re now doing the same thing with every series they put out.

The good news is that the numbers are not on their side. it’s been reported all over the world that a toy sitting on a chair (a Spock action figure), put there by the YouTuber Nerdrotic, got more views and more success than one of their episodes
[ you can see a news report about it here → https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkqTF0wz1Ag ].
And sooner or later, this is going to have to be investigated as money laundering.

Very enjoyable movie with a strong, history-revision, agenda

Atrocities were committed by Whites.
Atrocities were committed by Indians
Yes, I mean North American Indigenous people. My brother-in-law and good friend is full-blooded Indian. He actually gets upset when people use terms like Native-Americans, etc.

This movie strongly emphasizes one side, while ignoring or justifying the other. When one tribe fought another, the narration described it as a noble battle for survival.

Before the European migration, this was an extremely violent and dangerous land. War between tribes was constant. Women and children were often targeted while the men were on hunting or raiding parties. Torture was used to intimidate and destroy morale. The early settlers found that out the hard way. We cannot fully understand the brutality they lived with in those days. It was a lawless existence.

History is fascinating to study. Historical drama can be good and educational. It can also push an agenda. As enjoyable as this movie is, it has a very strong, biased agenda. It should be recognized as such.

I have a weak spot for shark based movies and this was still a big disappointment. For fans of action war movies there is virtually none of that so despite the setting you will be let down. As a horror/shark movie however, well also a letdown. The movie starts with a group of recruits in
boot camp and these scenes for some reason they had them all acting like immature children. Actually the entire movie has them acting unrealistically and a lot of it is so silly it almost wants to be a comedy half the time. It's clear this was made on a very small budget, as all the night scenes are shot very dark and then the day scene conveniently has a thick dense fog bank roll in so you can't see anything. The shark while visually looking very well done they chose to do it with animatronics instead of CG. Normally I'm a fan of minimizing CG, however when doing something like a shark it just doesn't look good. It's painfully obvious it's not real in every shot as the shark is so slow and barely moves at all. There is a big over use of slow motion throughout the entire movie in general. Pretty much all the shark attack scenes are either done in slow motion or are plainly telegraphed and you can see them coming
far before it happens thereby nullifying any sort of scares or tension. They also decided to have the ships faulty air raid siren get stuck in the shark fin giving off a weird sort of screaming sound. This clearly supposed to be terrifying but just comes off as gimmicky and dumb. Now for the woke. The cast consists of a whole bunch of white male's and 1 aboriginal. You know where this is headed. Naturally the DEI is the main character and focus and the only one with any sort of backstory. He is smart, capable, good and all the white females love him. Race is naturally a part of the story with one of the white characters being a huge racist and hating him, and of course all the white characters seem to act like idiots or stupid children. There is another strange thing here that I wasn't going to mention under woke but it seems to be done on purpose so I think it might actually be. The very first scene of the shark
the DEI genius instantly says that it's a female because of it's size and the males don't get as big. This is based on him seeing only the head for about a second in the dark during an attack. All of them then always refer to the shark as 'she'. I may be wrong but it seemed like an odd unrealistic thing that nobody would care about in the moment and forced in just for some kind of gender nonsense.

An interesting movie about Japanese culture and a critique of actors.

Straight to the point: is it woke? No.

Does it have woke elements? Yes. That’s why I add a point for how much of that it has.

That said, the movie stands out mainly because of its subject matter. The woke content it includes is lightly woven into the story to help it move forward and build the narrative, not to shove a political message down your throat, even though the core theme is rooted in a socio-political critique of Japan.

Even so, it’s handled with respect.

Other films have already tackled the idea of “rent-a-family” from a Western perspective, like Lost in Translation, but not like this—and honestly, this one is much better. On top of that, the lead isn’t a smug actor just playing himself, like Bill Murray. I mention that movie because it touches on depression too, which is also explored here, but in a much more positive way and from a more authentic viewpoint, since the director is Japanese. You can feel the love for her country, coming across as constructive criticism rather than the destructive kind we’re used to in the West.

A solid drama. Not perfect, but watchable.

Good telling of a good story

The woke: Toward the end, it was revealed that the French, rival, number-running gang, is matriarchal. The boss is an attractive, black woman. I doubt that's realistic. It seems like maybe it's just checking the box for production. I think all MPAA rated movies need that. It's not too bothersome to enjoy the movie.

I'm a big fan of single scene movies. This one takes place entirely within the Cutter's shop. The acting and story line are showcased this way. Both are exceptional. There's obviously more to Leonard than meets the eye. When the story finally gets through all the layers, the ending is worth the wait.

I recommend watching.

This is what people think is quality these days?

(Spoilers.)

Honestly, I'm mad right now. I went into this movie with high hopes due to the buzz around it and even had some people tell me it was good. It was not only not good, but it was one of the worst movies I've seen in a while. And it just keeps getting worse as it goes.

It's nothing but a propaganda piece trying to race bait the viewing audience. The movie starts as a mediocre movie pushing the race divide making all white people the bad guys and then gets barely watchable when they put that aside and start to turn the story towards vampires. Then, after some absolutely horrible cheap FX that looks like it was done on someone's iphone, they jump through that whole part of the story to make sure and show a black guy slaughtering 50 klans men at the end. To add to the catastrophe, the audio for the movie is terrible. This movie is the nail in the coffin of Rotten Tomatoes proving that the ratings are fake BS.

Movie Rating: 3/10
Woke Rating: 7/10. REALLY woke.

A straight-up classic comedy

Nothing woke here. Just a great comedy with class-based humor in the Naked Gun style, aiming for nothing more, and nothing less, than to give you a good time and make you laugh.

Highly recommended!

Enjoy it!
