Wiz Reviewz: Obsessed

This weekend I managed to check out Obsessed, the dramatic thriller starring Idris Elba, Beyonce Knowles and Ali Larter.

Off gate I just wanna say that Beyonce is mad sexy….Now that that’s out of the way, lets get to the movie. Honestly it’s wasn’t that bad, see I am by far in no way or fashion a fan of Beyonce’s acting but this time she did her thing. Maybe she feed off the energy Idris gave in his performance or maybe it was just the fact that she’s getting better but whatever the case maybe be she delivered a performance that’s actually worth while. Though she seemed kinda corney at times, like in the fight scene between character’s Sharon and Lisa. It just seems kinda hard to take Beyonce serious when shes fighting in 6 inch heels and looking better than a glass of  ice water on a hot day,

Now Idris Elba on the other hand should be ashamed of himself, the movie wasn’t that  bad. When word got out that Beyonce’s acting  might bring the end of his acting career(rumored) he listens, everyone knows when your in the biz you never ever EVER listen to the critics. And the messed up part is he did one hell of a job, looks like someone has some self confidence issues. But all shit talking aside, the movie wouldn’t of been the same without him…Just throwing this in there, it’s dope how his accent disappears when he’s filming….if you haven’t heard  it, he has a DEEP English accent.

Obsessed

I have to say, if Ali Larter got into my car with some sexy lingerie it would be a lie if I would say “Nothing Happened”…that is if i can get past the stalkerish image  she left in my head,..She played this role a little bit to well, hopefully she not like most other actors and got caught up in the role then 6 moths later we hear news saying she’s stalked her way into jail.

Ali Larter

Overall I’d say this movie was a up to time remake of Fatal Attraction, but it’s good for what it is. It’s definitely worth checking out.

Sincerely,

The Wiz

Actor Paul Giamatti is set to star in Barney’s Version.

Check out a short synopsis of the book:

The story is written in the style of an autobiography of Barney Panofsky, and recounts his life in varying detail. At the end of the book he is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease, which explains his memory losses (corrected by his son Michael through the use of foot-notes), and his repeatedly reminding himself of the name of the utensil used to strain spaghetti (a colander). Barney may be viewed as an unreliable narrator, in that his recollections go from lucid to ludicrous with his varying mental states, but he is only mistaken about minor things. In the end Barney is right about the most questionable event in the book, that he did not murder Boogie. Mike learns it must have been a water bomber plane that picked up Boogie while he was swimming in the lake while Barney was asleep, and dropped the water on the mountain.

Also set to star in the film are actress Julia Roberts and acotr Clive Owen.Be sure to check back as moreis to come.

OK….Not much to say about this one, other than it’s extremely gay….But it’s the point of the movie so as much as it aches me to say this….it’s in good taste…there i said it..I guess it’s kinda good for what it is, nothing special though.

Bruno is set to hit theaters July 10th, be sure to check it out.
