This is a British comedy/horror miniseries with 8 episodes. The first thing I noticed in Ep 1 was some general DEI overrepresentation including the main character being a POC. She is an unlikable terrible person so not off to a good start. The acting is ok and the setup isn't too bad. Not much for comedy though and pretty light on the horror but there's promise. Ep 2 really ramps up the DEI casting. There is an openly racist Indian character who makes a random comment about while babies and ethnic mothers than randomly mentions a white family is racist for no real reason and no context. Starting to notice a distinct lack of white casting and any male characters in general. Ep 3 lesbian couple is introduced including some lesbian kissing. DEI is now at max capacity. There are virtually no white people or men. Any you see are background characters. We are just giving up with the horror aspect and going into more preachy motherhood is hard and nobody but mothers understand. No mention of fathers or men. Story wise it's pretty much at a standstill. There's no real story progression from the first episode and this is mostly pointless. Ep 4 Lesbian characters are now some of the main characters and still max DEI with little story progression. We are reminded they are lesbians at every opportunity. At this point I'm bored about to give up but decided to give it one more episode. Ep 6 is an origin story for one of the main characters. She is revealed to be lesbian and involved with a married woman behind her husbands back. The lesbian make out sex scene is were I shut it down. This is not comedy or horror, it's just preachy woke feminist garbage. There is only 8 30 minute episodes and by ep 4 there is almost no story advancement since ep 1. The idea is interesting enough but they decided to go full extreme woke agenda instead of actually trying to tell a good story. It's possible the last three and a half episodes brought it all together to make sense but at this point I don't care anymore. The only reason I'm giving this a 1 instead of 0 is because there is an actual interesting story buried underneath the mound of garbage that's presented instead. Unless you are an extreme woke feminist there is no reason to watch this trash.

Some more minor DEI casting. This one seems to go out of it's way to force more female casting in the movie. There is a homeland security female officer, 2 out of 3 of the CIA security detail is female. This takes place directly after the first one and the terrorist from that movie is back this time with his pregnant wife as well. The villains here are said to be professional independent military contractors and naturally they have their very own girlboss leader. The acting here might actually be worse than the last one. Knapp in particular is horribly miscast with really bad acting and her nails on chalkboard cartoonish voice makes it impossible to take her seriously. It's her voice and not her fault but it's bad casting nonetheless. The writing is maybe a bit better here with the action scenes looking much better for the most part but there are still some problems. The hand to hand combat in particular varies greatly with some scenes looking well done and convincing while others almost look like practice takes. The aforementioned 'professionals' can't seem to hit targets right in front of them half the time. This appears to take place in a large airport yet there doesn't seem to be any civilians to be found. The worst part is probably still the acting, the gunshot would in
the van early on is comically hilarious. Background characters get shot and flail their arms about overacting like something you would see from 10 year old's pretending to get shot. If you made through the first one it's an ok time killer and probably a step up from that one but still can't bring myself to give it a higher rating.

While not really woke other than maybe some DEI casting choices. For a very small budget indie film this actually looks decent. The acting however ranges from mediocre to pretty bad. There are a lot of inaccuracies and unrealistic scenarios for the military setting. There's nothing new story wise basically a military installation under attack and trying to survive. The gimmick is the entire movie is made to look like it's done in one single take with no cuts. At this point there are a lot of these 'one take' movies and it's been done to much better effect than here. This wouldn't have been to bad other than some really lazy writing that could of been easily fixed. There is one covered truck the shows up and runs the gates with all the enemy combatants in it. However the number of enemies that are shown throughout the movie are impossible to have come out of that single truck. It appears to be a literal army of at least 100 if not more, it's ridiculous. Why not just have a second truck? If budget doesn't allow than use the same truck as a secondary with strategic camera angles to never show them both on screen at once.
They are constantly taking cover behind empty wood crates and other cover that just simply won't stop a rifle round. They also choose cover to get behind but then just leave their heads sticking out over the top. Adkins turns into a one man army single handedly killing pretty much everyone. The scenes of him sneaking around the base full of enemies constantly in clear lines of sight yet nobody ever sees him. This might be worth a watch for action movie fans if you have nothing else but
it's mediocre at best.

Some DEI casting resulting in 2 mixed race couples. There is also a lesbian couple. This is labeled as a comedy but I don't see it. It's more of a drama with weak attempts at comedy. The humor isn't funny and the timing seems all off. The acting is ok but the characters are all annoying and unlikable. This just another rehashed groundhog day type movie but supposedly set on new years eve 1999 with the Y2K rollover. The problem is it just never feels like a 90'a movie. It feels like a modern movie in a modern setting with a group of friends throwing a 90's party theme. It just doesn't work. I made it to the 35 minute mark then gave up, it just wasn't going anywhere and I was bored at that point.

I have never heard of this director before this. While the movie is in English it's country of origin is listed as a joint production with Netherlands, Norway and Belgium. The story is a travelling Magician books a night in a hotel and the next morning he finds he's trapped inside a maze of corridors and tries to find his way out in an increasingly weird environment and strange occupants. This is one of the most oddly bizarre, weird and strange movies I've seen in a long time, and I loved every insanely crazy second of it. This is very reminiscent of 80's 90's Gilliam, Lynch and Cronenberg. It reminded me a lot of a twisted dark Alice in Wonderland. The cinematography and sets are excellent with great acting and an incredible performance from Crispin Glover. While there is humor I wouldn't really call it a comedy. I would say it's a mix of Sci-Fi and Fantasy. This will definitely not appeal to everyone and I am probably in the minority on this one but if you enjoy any of the directors I mentioned give it a try and be prepared for one hell of a twisted experience.

This was a surprise for a movie from the U.K I'd never heard of. Basically a middle aged loser and his friends refusing to grow up while battling drug addiction and a recurring pattern of self destructive behavior and violence. He gets arrested and has 6 months of probation to turn his life around or face prison time and lose his wife and kid. While it's all done in a very comedic way it also deals with some very realistic problems. I've known people like this including the wife that just can't seem to get out of a bad relationship and just keeps giving him more and more chances despite constant failures and refusing to change. So while it does deal with some very serious material this is a dark comedy at heart and I personally found it hilarious with excellent comedic timing and laugh out loud moments. The acting is good and the writing is tight and well thought out. I would highly recommend this if you enjoy
self aware English humor. Just be aware it's extremely vulgar and not for clean family viewing. As for woke there is maybe a bit much for DEI casting but the characters are shown to be good and bad. There are few woke comments but they seem to be more making fun or using it for comedic purposes.

This is a Dutch slasher horror movie. The general idea is a group of people pick on the wrong family and it turns out badly, sort of. The villains here are a family of 3 white male pig farmers, that's it. The 'hero's' are a radical violent terrorist animal rights group. You read that right. The hero group consists of 5 people 1 blue haired violent white feminist, 1 white female, 1 violent white male, 1 calm generally decent Indian male and 1 calm generally decent black female. Not off to a good start are we. Our hero group breaks in and vandalizes the farm then kidnaps 2 of the farmers and proceeds to mutilate one of them then torture, mutilate
and murder the other one. Then when the farmers get the upper hand to take revenge our group of terrorist are suddenly the victims and have to survive the night. These types of movies can work when done right, this isn't it. The entire film never changes perspective and seems to desperately want us to root for the terrorists. The problem is
they are so despicable, insane and just downright evil. The farmers on the other hand are never shown to be doing anything wrong other than in the eyes of the self righteous group. They snap and take revenge only after they are attacked and one of them tortured and murdered. It's a shame because this is a well made film. The acting is decent and the
FX are very well done. There are buckets of blood and gore with a couple of really brutal scenes. It's watchable for horror aficionados who can look past the politics.

The previous review is pretty much spot on so I wont waste a lot of time on it. The voice acting isn't bad and I didn't mind the animation like some did. But this is not canon and is just made up feminist fan fiction. It's girl power fantasy with a Mary Sue lead. We are told right from the start how amazing she is and reminded of it constantly. She's smarter, always right and better at everything than the men. The final fight scene with her against Wulf is actually comical it's so bad. I was bursting out laughing at the absurdity of the fight. While I did watch the whole thing I actually found it pretty boring as a whole and don't really see any point to watching it. Even if you know almost nothing about Tolkien's world it still just isn't very well done.

Another low budget indie action film. It's a basic seen it before revenge movie that would of been right at home in the 90's dollar bins.
Oil worker is on his way home for his wedding with a rescue dog he just found and took with him. On the way home he stops at his estranged
father's house who is on house arrest with an ankle bracelet and 2 officers watching him. Ankle bracelet seems a little pointless if your under constant guard but ok. Then as he's driving the dog in the backseat throws up and he stops at a rest stop to clean him up. A truck pulls up outside and a group of guys comes in and randomly beats the hell out of him. He comes to and takes his dog to the local vet and tells her the dog is hit with something even though it seems fine with no visible wound. The vet pets him and says it's too early to tell if he will live because there is extensive scarring from previous injuries. Really? No examination just by petting his head you already know that? Wow that's a damn fine vet there. He gets a room and decides to stay until the dog is ok. He looks like he barely got into a fight much less beat to hell by a group of guys but seems to develop instant ptsd and jumps at every noise and every person he sees causes panic attacks and delusions. Then it really all unravels and the writing goes off the rails. This is a random attack and none of these people have ever met before. This group of guys then find out he's alive and decide to go after him and kill him. Why? No idea. Most of this movie turns into characters doing stupid things for no real reason. If someone tries to kill you and you
are standing 5ft away from the drivers side with a shotgun as they are escaping do you shoot them or stop and shoot at one of the tires? You guessed it shoot that tire then chase them as they drive away. They crash into a pond and are about to drown. Do you wade out into the pond and try to save him until you remember it's one of the group that beat you up then let him drown? Yes you do. I mean trying to kill you is not as bad as beating you up apparently. I gave up around 45 minutes when the house arrest father casually knocks out the 2 cops and cuts his ankle monitor off with a knife to go help his son. For woke there is a little too much DEI for small town Kansas including the good black sheriff, the restaurant owner and what looks like maybe half Asian veterinarian. The white hick deputy is of course bad and the group that randomly attacked him is naturally all white good ole boys. The acting while not terrible is about what you would expect from this type of movie. Your tolerance for lazy bad writing will affect if you like this or not as it's not the worst and somewhat watchable.

I had heard this was woke and bad but I was surprised at just how bad and how woke this actually turned out to be. I made it through
2 episodes so this will cover those first 2 episodes. First of all be aware this has virtually nothing to do with Resident Evil other than
stealing the names from the game and having zombies. The entire story is told with two different time frames. Current post zombie outbreak and past before leading up to the outbreak. Current is any generic zombie apocalypse story you've seen before and past is oddly an annoying melodramatic teen angsty CW show with irritating pop music.

Episode 1-The acting is terrible, it's the first thing you will notice, the CG is pretty bad as well. The DEI casting is insane. Did the white people all die? There seems to be every other representation but white people are an extreme minority. Our hero is a black female involved in a mixed race relationship of course. Why not. We are introduced to race swapped black Wesker (white in the games) and his twin daughters, 1 black and 1 mixed race white/Polynesian. Wait what? We are given some lazy 5 sec explanation how that's possible then quickly move on. While we are at it
Wesker in the games has no daughters but a son. I'm putting that in the woke column as gender swapping. Jade (our black twin DEI hero) spouts some racist anti white comments. The adult version of Jade is a Mary Sue character, she knows everything and can do anything. Teenage version is a terrible angry, aggressive unlikable character. Actually both sisters are rather unlikable and annoying and this is who the entire show is built around. The writing is as bad as the acting. One of the first scenes has our DEI hero being chased by a horde of zombies, as one of them catches up to her and tackles her to the ground the rest of the horde
that are right on top of them swarms over her and finishes her off. Ok makes sense and not a bad start right? Well it would be if this show didn't have lazy incompetent writers. Instead when she's tackled and laying on the ground fighting of the zombie the rest of the horde just suddenly stops and starts shambling around aimlessly right next to
her without attacking while she fights of the zombie and escapes. In the past the two sisters are able to break into Umbrellas high security using a digital cell phone message of Weskers voice. That's the extent of their security. No guards anywhere, or any other security they just get in and wonder all over at will. Episode one ends with Jade taking a running flying leap over a cliff and it's where episode 2 starts-

That cliff appears to be about 40ft at least and she falls and crashed on top of a bus in front of another horde of zombies and just gets up like nothing happened and takes of running. Those zombie just slowly turn to look in her direction then just stand there waiting for her to start running before giving chase. As she's saved by another black character and clinging to the roof of a car they are fast approaching
a narrow opening with spike place to kill whatever's on the roof. Rather than just letting go and rolling of the top she just lays there yelling for the driver to stop. In the past somehow a single usb stick pugged into a random pc inside Umbrella is able to wipe out all hard drives and security cameras for the entire facility in about
10 seconds. At this point our Umbrella girlboss is introduced and she Spanish. In her first scene she gets into an argument with her white lesbian partner. Girlboss, lesbian, Spanish and mixed race couple, that's a lot of woke points. The scene of her arguing is pointless and only there to make a statement. Later in the episode when she has
her second scene the first thing she's asked is 'how's your wife" just in case we forgot she's a lesbian. There is a self taught hacker high school kid on a laptop that manages to bypass Umbrellas firewall and access the entire system in about 10 seconds. At this point I'm wondering why Umbrella even has security. The acting in the second episode actually gets worse as does the DEI casting. Almost no white people at all anywhere and if one does show up they will turn out to be bad or stupid, every single time. 2 episodes was it for me as this was not surprisingly cancelled at 1 season only and there was no reason to continue torturing myself any further.
