This is actually a review of the review. I think it was very nasty and uncalled for by all means. I haven’t seen the movie and im sure its not very good. But such hostility for no reason whatsoever. Whats the matter pete? Did the director of this movie fornicate with a family member? Does he owe you money or something?
Is calling the people who probably worked hard on this, tv hacks really necessary? A mans name is all he has and when you tarnish it over a MOVIE he made, thats pretty bad. Wheres the humility? And writing things like “Derek gets hit on by Lisa (Ali Larter), a temp from central slut casting”. There is underlying spite in that line. Whats the point!?!!?
Review the movie not the people. Review there acting, review there directing, editing, but stop reviewing the person. The last half of this review does not tell me anything about the movie. If i wanted to read a person tearing apart another person i would read perez hiltons blog. Which i chose not to read for obvious reasons. I read reviews to know about the movie and nothing else. Stop feeding me this anti-people propaganda. Download online Movies
Memo to Beyoncé Knowles: You were so good as Etta James in Cadillac Records, so why’d you go spoil everything with a rank cheeseball thriller that buries you in clichés and won’t even help you dig yourself out?
I’d call this stenchcloud “Fatal Attraction meets The Temp,” but that would insult those movies. Movie? Obsessed doesn’t move at all. It lays there like undigested latkes. Beyoncé Knowles (she uses two names for movies) plays Sharon. She’s happily married to asset manager Derek (Idris Elba), once on fire with The Wire and now reduced to a situation dire.
OK, I’ll stop. But the movie doesn’t. Everything you need to know is in the trailer. Derek gets hit on by Lisa (Ali Larter), a temp from central slut casting. He resists her jiggly butt and pert breasts. This is the kind of no-balls movie where the guy is a saint, even before the temp turns psycho stalker. So where’s the conflict? Nowhere.
Screenwriter David Loughery and director Steve Shill, a TV hack (who’d have guessed?) have built something silly and shockingly unsexy (a wimpy PG-13 rating for this kind of trash — whaat?) all in the name of big, climactic catfight that should been camp fun but is no fun at all. Beyoncé does go medieval on what she calls Larter’s “skinny white ass.” She also calls her “crazy ass bitch.” Obsessed is crazy-ass also. Crazy-ass awful.
