Lakewood (2021)
2 stars - only because Naomi Watts takes some terrible writing and does a little bit with it
We're it not for Naomi Watts, this movie would get no stars. She attempts to carry the whole movie herself, but with such terrible writing, not even she can pull it off. Watching her running through the forest for an hour while talking on her cell phone was frankly pretty boring. Had it been nearly any other actress, I'd have turned off the movie. As it is, I wouldn't suggest wasting money on this "school shooting" movie.
I'm not try8ng to be politically correct or incorrect, but some basic research might have been helpful. An AR-15 is not an "assault rifle". I5 is not an automatic rifle. It is just another semi-automatic long gun. The technical issues aside, the dialogue in this movie is atrocious. None of Watts' character's interaction with anyone was very believable. Her ability to get the exact information she needed was so contrived I wanted to laugh. Don't waste your time and certainly don't waste any money on this!!
Confessions of a Time Traveler - The Man from 3036 (2020)
If you'd like a good laugh...
If this had simply been presented as a mockumentary, I could have enjoyed this more. However the claim that this is a "real" documentary, which somehow has our "time traveler" discussing nearly every single issue regarding vaccines, the environment, etc., becomes hilarious. People live in "magnetic pods" that are movable? To what do they magnetically attach?
The guy is so afraid of a cell phone due to its radiation, allegedly...but is happy to get an X-ray?? Then the filmmaker goes and steals hair from the guy's comb and makes more noise doing so that a bull in a China shop, but gets it unnoticed.
Perhaps the best bit is "the big blackout" which according to the traveler lasts for five years!! But he next says it takes them 20 years to get the power back online...so which is it??
This is good for a laugh, but that's about all.
The Evil in Us (2016)
A terrible movie
While this began with a decent premise and unlike other reviewers, I did not hate all of the characters, the director's need to ram his political beliefs down our throats at the end of the movie turned what was just a bad movie into a terrible one. Don't waste your time with this piece of crap.
