A solid 80's slasher. There are some of the usual clichés that were everywhere in this genre in the 80's but overall the story is pretty good.
The acting is better than usual, the FX are incredible and some of the kills are very brutal. I watched the uncut version but there are several versions of this in various edits and some of them have a lot of the gore and blood fx cut out. Jason Alexander and Holly Hunter appear in very early roles here as well. Unlike a lot of these movies this one is never boring and the characters and interactions are actually well done. While it is unusual to have a woke score for movie like this there is something to point out. There are several male characters who are very aggressive toward some of the female characters and the lead male councilor does
nothing about it. This results in the lead female councilor several times going on a rant about 'you guys make me sick'. I may be reading into it given the time period but it does come off a little preachy and 'The Patriarchy'. I'm giving it a one for that but It might just be me. It's definitely not a focus of the movie and is overall a small thing. If you enjoy 80's horror or slashers this one is recommended.

Whoever did the musical score for this should be thrown off a cliff. This is one of the worst scores I've ever heard. Completely tonally incompatible to the type of movie this wants to be. It's so off-putting and is always present. I don't think there is a single scene without some kind of grating background music. The acting is ok by the 3 main leads but most of the others not so good, the police duo in particular are terrible. The fx are one of the few good things. The story is just completely implausible. Basically these 2 scam artists rent Airbnb's then pretend to be real estate agents and pretend to sell the house. There are so many things wrong with that idea. First of all if your renting an Airbnb then you have a rental account with your names and info, you would have a legal rental agreement. How are you getting away with scamming. They then just plant a sign out front that it's for sale. How exactly are they scamming people into giving them money without an actual sale happening? It's not listed anywhere for real other than a sign. They think they are going to pull this off by renting a house with visible cameras all over the inside. They just turn them all off, like the owner's not going to know. It's all so stupid. Then there's the woke, the 2 scammers are a lesbian couple who we are constantly reminded are lesbians. The lead black male is Djimon Hounsou a pretty well known actor so wouldn't call that DEI. However I believe every single person they scam is an idiot white male and one of them tries to rape one of the lesbians. One of the detectives is female. The black doctor has a painting of his late wife on the wall and of course she's white so we get the check the mixed race couple box as well. Overall pretty slow moving with a ridiculous story that barely watchable made worse with a truly abysmal musical score.

Nothing woke in this 1982 slasher. It's pretty typical of these types of 80's slasher movies. Slow build up of the killer stalking and killing everyone with the usual showdown at the end. The killer is just some random escaped murderer and it tells you 5 minutes in the movie. The acting isn't very good, the dialog and characters are dull, the story is 80's cliché and a lot of the kills are offscreen. Even the gore and fx are below average. If you like old-school slashers this is on the low end of the scale but there are worse ones.

Another streaming pile of garbage. Terrible acting and story. This is the sort of low budget garbage that was direct to video in the late 90's early 2000's. The ballerina group has the correct DEI checkmarks for diversity and it's basically just a bunch of tiny skinny females beating up the bad men. The fight choreography is awful with the dance fighting in particular is one of the stupidest things you will see in a movie. The leader of the criminal inn organization is a girl boss while
the men are all bumbling fools. Yes that is actually Uma Thurman slumming it for a paycheck. I'm now convinced putting characters with dishabilles in movies is as much DEI as anything else they do. I've seen a significant rise of deaf characters in particular in movies. In the first half they at least tried to make the small females a little more believable as they have them fight in groups of 2 or more against a single male and they use weapons like blades or clubs. The second half they just kind of give up on that however. It's still unbelievable though as the men
just flail about stupidly and wait to get hit or run straight at them and stand there while they get attacked. Rarely does a male character ever through a punch like they actually would in real life, they just push the female characters down or against a wall. It's so painfully stupid. The only positive is some decent FX and that's about it. The only reason I'm giving this 4 woke instead of 5 is because the director seemed to acknowledge the disparities in size and strength for men vs women and tried to make it more believable with the fight scenes but it still doesn't work and just comes off as a girl power movie at it's core.

Yet another feminist agenda movie weakly disguised as post-apocalyptic sci-fi. Creatures have emerged into the world to eradicate humans and a scratch or bite can infect you and turn you into a monster. Except is only affects men and very rarely women. We are half jokingly told it's because men have simply brains and are easily infected while women have complex brains. This leads to most men having been killed off and the population that's left is majority female including all the military and resistance fighters. All the men are weak betas that need to be protected. This also pushes the reasoning behind this to
the climate change hoax. While I don't consider climate change to fall under the description of woke it is politically agenda motivated propaganda. The small tiny female teenager has to save her father on multiple occasions. There is also the usual DEI overrepresentation as well. The acting is pretty bad, the story is very weak and cliché. The trailers are also misleading and sell it as an action creature post apocalypse sci-fi movie. Everything in the trailer I saw is from the first 30 or so minutes, after that it's a very slow paced survival drama between a father and daughter. The ending seems like a setup for a series more than an ending to a movie. The FX and creature designs range from weak to just laughable. The hybrids that are talked about with such fear most of the movie finally show up and seem to be almost no threat at all, slow moving and very easily dispatched. Not recommended for anyone.

Adult Children of Divorce is a comedy from 2013. There are a lot of recognizable faces and names here and the acting is good. This is a hilarious comedy about exactly what the title says. There is nothing woke here. The story is good, the humor is more grounded than silly but it works. I do think it's probably funnier to people with divorced parents or if you know someone who is. Some of the humor may not hit the same way otherwise. Still well worth a watch in my opinion.

'Inspired by a true story', except it's not, like at all. Literally the only thing that actually happened was Miami police raided a mans home and
found 22 million hidden in home depot buckets behind a wall. That's it, no cartel, no corrupt police, no murdered LEO, no shootout, no police chase, nothing. Even the officer that was involved in the production as an advisor wasn't there or involved with the real story at all.
In reality this is a completely fictional made up story, it didn't even happen in the city of Hialeah either. Sigh. As for the movie, well it's standard modern fare. The acting is pretty good and it's fine for mindless entertainment but the story and writing is not so great. It's the usual lazy writing with characters doing stupid things that trained special unit officer would do. If you don't pay too much attention it passes the time. While I don't mind Affleck or Damon they are a bit miscast in my opinion especially in the first half, they are still stuck in their Boston speech patterns and mindset, that's not how people talk in Miami, and what is with the constant nonstop F bombs, in every sentence by every character. It's not natural at all and just distracting. As for woke the diversity is not that far off given it's set in Miami but still can't help
but notice the core group consists of 2 white males, 1 Asian male, 1 black female and 1 Spanish female.


Spoiler..................
The other issue is the villains are all men and other than 1 are white
and corrupt police while the Columbian drug cartel is more honorable and not really that bad after all.

There is nothing woke here. A German WWII movie about a tank crew going on a mission to pick up an officer across dangerous territory. This is more of a drama really than a typical war action movie. There were only 2 action scenes really in the entire movie. The acting is ok I guess but not the best. The dialogue was not very good but that's possibly partially due to the translation (I watched the subtitled version). The real problem though is I just didn't really care about the characters. There's also the problem that the cinematography varied a lot. Most of the wide shots looked pretty good but the close ups looked like either green screen or CG enhanced backgrounds. It all just looked off somehow. Up until the end I might of given this 2 stars but that twist ending. Why? It just doesn't really work here and makes the entire movie just seem pointless. Even if your a fan of war movies in general it's hard to see any real reason to watch this.

The series revolves around demon hunting nuns in the catholic church. Could be decent in a sort of schlocky grindhouse over the top kind of way. The casting is DEI extravaganza of minority overrepresentation specifically where the black population is under 2%. Men are all bad or useless while the females are all badass. Why are only the nuns
warriors while all the priests are betas and seem to be morons. Why do the nuns all dress like medieval ninjas? The black nun is the usual aggressive unlikable girlboss type. 30 minutes into episode 1 and we have a obvious trans already. The leads acting is terrible. Her annoying constant voiceover narrations are even worse and just sound like she's sitting in a sound booth somewhere reading the reading the script.
Another show where the lead character is annoying and unlikable and not someone you care to waste time watching a show about.
The acting in general with a couple exceptions is pretty bad. 1 episode was enough for me especially when a quick search revealed as the show goes on there are many gay and lesbian characters introduced with major storylines revolving around same sex relationships. Cancelled after 2 season you say? A planned movie trilogy
to finish the so called storylines also cancelled after getting announced? Not surprising at all.

Nothing woke. Korean horror movie about a group who perform a séance and bring ghosts. Cliché and been done to death by now. The acting isn't very good the scares are lame and don't work and the whole thing is rather boring.
