Ghostbusters (2016)
Just forget this movie exists. A complete washout.
There are a lot of reviews stating the same thing, but I had to chime in.
This movie is just horrible.
*Forced humor, jokes fall flat. *Wasted talent (c'mon, bill Murray and Annie Potts are in it and that's the best the director could do?)
* Even the "girl power" theme is weak and completely misses the point.
* "Ghosts" are straight out of a Disney movie (Haunted mansion to be exact) *Long , drawn out dialog.
The director and writers should hang their heads in shame. Don't even buy the DVD. Its just that bad.
Lake Eerie (2016)
This is "Plan 9 From Outer Space" bad.. Just don't watch it.
Seriously? Is this how 2016 begins?
This film is just bad. I'm not sure what the other reviewers were watching? Don't even wait for the DVD release, just watch it on late night TV when it gets there while you're zoned out on the couch on a Friday night when you're too sick to go out.
Here are the issues.
* Lake Erie is a real place and there was so much potential that could've been used, but the premise that was chosen.. oh come on.
* The lead actress tries, but the script is just too bad. I'm sure it read like "Be happy", "You lost your husband, now be sad", "Now be happy again". Its no flow or transitions or depth in her character
* A lot of it just didn't make any sense. Its a lesbian scene in it that has no place. And whats with the topless girl on the beach? No reason.
* There's a dingy red haired supporting actress who has to keep saying the lead actresses name over and over. Its forced and robotic. "But Kate, yes Kate, no Kate, please Kate".. sheesh.
* Lance Henriksen is in it for a short time and what a waste of a phenomenal talent. Someone give this man a TV drama, please! He must have needed a car payment made or something to appear in this bomb.
* The 'monsters' are straight out of your neighborhood fake haunted house. Bad makeup, crappy acting. "rawrrr!"
* Its low to no budget. The audio is bad. The cinematography consists of moving an iPhone through a house.
This movie is just awful, but since I'm from Michigan where Lake Erie borders, I'll give it 2 stars.
