OBSESSIVE-Repulsive?!?!?

Originally posted by moviewizguy It's clear that I just have to explain everything to you. Button-smashing is technique to make a point. If I said "3285792387 of people have seen this movie," I'm obviously pointing out that a lot of people saw this movie. Did you get that? Do you want me to explain that you have an IQ of -3448549586734? Guess I'll have to explain that to you too. Originally posted by dEd Grimley I can't get too down on him for button-smash-statistics. I'm not 100% sure that I didn't start that trend. Button-smash-statistics are pretty sweet, though. I'm "Obsessed" with them. (Once again, I need to remind myself which thread I'm actually on)

You really need to settle down today. I know you're getting pounded pretty hard, but you're bringing it on yourself.
Now, as you "make it clear to me," you might want to note that I've just said "I use this technique." I obviously know what it means. I do it often. That was my point.
Also, as you can't be inversely intelligent, I must assume that you mean to use the absolute value of the number you typed. And I believe you've been warned about calling people stupid today, anyway.

Honestly, most of these movies on here, MWG's defended too much, including Shyamalan's last two (which were widely considered to be bad movies). Most of them he just thinks weren't as bad as most people think they were. And by most people, I guess he means everyone but himself.

Don't worry, Kelemenmarc, we've already forgotten about this movie.

Ok Michaels, I don't care Beyonceé, just don't hurt Ali Larter.

Hypothetically speaking, which categories would you vote for ORPHAN in? 

 

Originally posted by Michaels No, sorry, kelemenmarc, Beyonce's getting a vote from me. However, all my other votes are going to "Transformers 2" ... and maybe a few for "The Orphan", just because.

I'm just saying, if ORPHAN appears on the voting ballot, I may or may not vote for it. Who knows, maybe my hatred for Michael Bay's raping of one of my most beloved childhood memories will overcome my desire to vote for Orphan just because of how much you overhyped it.

But as for Beyonce, there's no may or may not -- she has my vote. STOP APPEARING IN MOVIES, YOU OVERRATED DIVA!

 

My review: 6/10

Derek is an investment brokerage hot-shot married to Sharon, a one-time temp as well as the mother to their son. Further temptation arrives in the form of Lisa, who sets her blonde ambitions on Derek from day one. Sharon is wary but Derek remains a model of marital fidelity in the face of Lisa's repeated flirtations. But when Derek rejects Lisa's sexual advances at the company Christmas party, it leads her downward spiral of romantic obsession.

I like to watch a bad, cheesy, campy, trashy movie every once in a while because I'm that type of person. This is why I watched OBSESSED, an exploitative, more trashy (although not a better) version of FATAL ATTRACTION. However, although a huge similarity to FATAL ATTRACTION, I'd like to give credit to OBSESSED for not borrowing every single idea in that film.

For example, in this film, the husband doesn't want to have sexual relations with the temp, which caught me by surprised because I was sure he was going to get the bait. Also, the wife has a bigger role in this film, which, in this case, is a VERY good thing (trust me). The performances in here are generally decent, although there are some moments of badness. Idris Elba does good job in his role while Beyoncé Knowles is, more or less, sufficient enough. However, Ali Larter does a pretty great job as the crazy psycho.

The film is pretty predictable but so what, I'm sure nobody going into this film are crazy enough to find an original story. I know I didn't. It's for the trashy entertainment and when the last 20 minutes are played, it makes the whole movie well worth watching because the cat fight between Knowles and Larter surpassed my expectations. And no, it isn't your ordinary 30 second cat fight. It's played and shot so well you're willing to forgive the faults throughout the film.

Overall, the film is decent enough for a watch. There are some moments of laugh-inducing moments, whether or not they were intentional isn't really relevant. The film also has some decent performances and some good things added to the FATAL ATTRACTION story. However, the last 20 minutes or so really do make the movie. I think it's the reason why people went to see this movie in the first place, which, I'd like to say, did not disappoint at all. Go see it if you'd like to be entertained.

Originally posted by moviewizguy Why would I stop defending "bad" movies? This just shows you don't respect anyone's opinions. Forums are to express DIFFERENT opinions, whether the main intent of the forums could be for poking fun of "bad" movies or praising "good" movies. This allows people to DISCUSS about the said films from the differing opinions.

Gee, I don't know, because when you give ratings of 6 to 9 out of 10 to EVERY movie that's listed on this forum when they should be MUCH lower, it kinda tells us you're not really the best judge of movies so it's hard to take your opinion seriously.
