Movie Review: 'Obsessed'

4/30/2009 0
Derek Charles, a successful asset manager who has just received a huge promotion, is blissfully happy in his career and in his marriage to the beautiful Beth. But when Lisa, a temp worker, starts stalking Derek, everything he's worked so hard for, are placed in jeopardy.

Storyline:
Scripted by David Loughery, who also penned "Lakeview Terrance", "Obsessed" takes you down the road of extreme predictability and leaves very little to the imagination of what's to come at the finish line.

Obviously, an updated version of the 1987 classic thriller, "Fatal Attraction", which has lived in the minds of moviegoers for over two decades, as we examined Glenn Close, as the woman disdained that let her frustration evoke an emotion that caught moviegoers, especially women, by the heart.

With that said, "Obsessed", is just the opposite, as the movie fails to establish a real connection between Derek, played by Idris Elba, and Lisa, played by Ali Larter. Furthermore, unlike the original thriller, there isn't any actual adultery, but with just an office flirtation that sends Lisa into overdrive.

Beth, played by Beyonce Knowles, who also met Derek when she was his assistant, comes across insecure and, at times, a little stupid. She is immediately jealous at thought her husband's new female assistant and fails to completely evoke the positive, strong woman image, that I'm sure the creators and Beyonce were shooting for.

Temptation after temptation, incident after incident, the movie finally draws to a close with Beth and Lisa sparring it out in a much buzz about cat fight, which although lackluster, at best, ends with the already anticipated death of Lisa.

Acting:
The acting definitely plays a huge role in making the movie almost unwatchable, as the three leads all fail to deliver significant pieces to the puzzle. Idris Elba portrays his character solidly, but all in all, he just lacks a charisma and likability, which was indubitably needed to take his character to the next level. Ali Larter, blunders on every account to take her acting from the realms of bitchy teen movies into the bounds of sexy thriller.

With that said, both Idris and Ali have proven their talent on many accounts, so the biggest test arises in a non-musical Beyonce finally trying to show off her acting chops. Unfortunately, she continued to prove she has very little to offer in that field, given she never quite establishes solid footing. Sometimes she gives too much and other times she fails to give enough, and she continuously brings the words 'awkward', 'wooden', and 'forced' to the surface.

Direction and Visual:
This is definitely not the movie's downfall, but the director never quite gives you the sexy thriller that the trailer promised, and it fails to bring on a sense of seduction, and, put simply, is just extremely to tame.

Overall:
In conclusion, the movie does entertain to a certain extent, but it's biggest flaw is that its billed a 'thriller', but is unsuccessful in the art of suspense. There just isn't enough done with the storyline and it lacks of sense of depth and just all around realness.

Maxwell - 'Pretty Wings' Video

4/29/2009 0
Soul crooner Maxwell, lets the woman of his dreams go in, "Pretty Wings", the lead single and video off his first album in eight years, BLACKsummers’night.

“It’s about the last relationship I had,” Maxwell says of the delicate song. “How you meet the person of your dreams but at the wrong time. She was a serious muse and the song is a testament to what I wanted to say and say, to her.”



I wasn't over enthused about the track at first listen, but after a couple plays, I'm loving it and I think the video does it justice by capturing its essence. Not an overwhelming clip, by any means, but definitely solid.

American Idol Recap: Final 5 Take On The 'Rat Pack' Era

4/29/2009 0
The Top 5 contestants vying to be the next American Idol, took to the stage last night to take on Idol’s Rat Pack theme week.

While this theme has normally set the standard for who really has the strength to go the distance, this time around Kris Allen, Allison Iraheta, Danny Gokey, Matt Giraud, and Adam Lambert, all came out swinging and giving their best attempts at the bluesy, soulful sounds of big band.

Academy Award winner and Grammy nominee Jamie Foxx served as mentor for the final five, and surprisingly he made a great impact.

Kris Allen - 'The Way You Look Tonight"
When I heard Kris was singing, "The Way You Look Tonight", I immediately knew he would take to the task with ease, because the song's overall vibe just fits right in with the magical tenderness of his voice. As Jamie said, Kris wasn't trying to do the "throat Olympics", but instead just delivered a stunningly controlled and enjoyable performance.

Allison Iraheta - "Someone To Watch Over Me"
The last girl standing in the competition Allison, chose a big song and delivered her big vocals to make it a matching pair. The performance was controlled and she was pitch perfect as her raspy voice covered the track. It was just incredible. That said, I've never denied Allison's talent and I'm not going to start now, but I will end by saying she's my least favorite contestant in the competition.

Matt Giraud - "My Funny Valentine"
There's no question that Matt Giraud picked the hardest and most known song to sing, and fortunately he delivered. I wouldn't quite goes as far as Simon by calling the performance "brilliant", but I do think unlike the first two performances, it felt like he genuinely enjoyed performing his selection and that the music was just perfect for him.

Danny Gokey - "Come Rain Or Come Shine"
Danny is the sole contestant in the competition that has yet to deliver a vocally unimpressive performance and he broke the barriers of his past performances this week. It was just a match made in heaven, and finally you got a sense of star quality from Danny. As the judges said, it was just "outstanding", "stellar", "unbelievable" and hands down his best performance.

Adam Lambert - "Feeling Good"
For me, it is always either or, when it comes to Adam's performances, but this week he rocked it. There's just no denying his creativity and originality, but with that said, I still think Broadway would just be a better fit for him than the recording industry.

PREDICTIONS:
Bottom 2: Hard decision, but Allison and Matt.

Who's Going Home: Allison.

'Pussycat Doll' Melody Thornton Reaches Her Boiling Point

4/27/2009 0
Amid continued rumors that Nicole Scherzinger is gearing up to go solo, which has only been fueled by their latest singles being billed 'Pussycat Dolls (featuring Nicole Scherzinger)', the mounted tensions between the girls finally reached it's boiling point at group's recent show in Phoenix, Arizona.

When time came for the youngest member Melody Thornton to introduce herself, she took a profound stand in thanking her family and fans for supporting her, even though she's not a featured vocalist on any of the group's songs. She went on further by stressing that her and Ashley Roberts were prime examples of "never giving up on your dream" and refusing to let anyone put you down. Melody's frustration was followed by Nicole Scherzinger, addressing the crowd by telling them to say her name.

Check out the madness below:



I've often stressed that by having only one featured singer and utilizing the other four girls as nothing more than backup dancers, make it extremely hard to take the group seriously. Melody's vocals are just as good, if not better than Nicole's, so I know it has to be frustrating for her to continuously take the back seat. In fact, its quite frustrating to watch.

"It's Alright, It's Okay", is the first single from Ashley Tisdale's forthcoming sophomore effort, Guilty Pleasure, which hits stores on June 16th. Check out the video below:



Overall, I'm really liking the song and it's accompanying clip, but Ashley has a huge task on her shoulders, which is trying to convince the general public that her new rocker image is somewhat authentic and not just a kitten trying to be a tiger.

Good luck with that one.

American Idol Recap: Lil Rounds & Anoop Desai Are Sent Packing, While David Archuleta Returns

'American Idol' finalists Lil Rounds and Anoop Desai aren't closer to becoming household names. Both singers were dismissed Wednesday after it was revealed they received the fewest number of viewer votes on the popular Fox singing competition.

The third lowest vote-getter after this week's disco-themed performances was Allison Iraheta.

For the past several weeks, the judges have not been favorable to Rounds, the 24-year-old mother of three from Memphis, or Desai, the 22-year-old college student from Chapel Hill, N.C.

While the panel seemed to prefer Desai's rendition of Donna Summers' "Dim All the Lights," judge Simon Cowell called Rounds' performance of Chaka Khan's "I'm Every Woman" a "mess."

"I'm actually going to miss your family screaming at us every week," Cowell told after Rounds after she was eliminated.

The acerbic judge correctly predicted Rounds would be dismissed following her performance Tuesday, as did Celebrity Bug. The once adored R&B crooner, who originally wowed the panel with Stevie Wonder's "All I Do" at her audition, had been dubbed a copycat by the judges for the past several weeks. Desai had also fallen from grace after being selected as the judges' final wild card pick.

Two finalists were sent packing Wednesday, instead of the usual one, because the judges' used their new one-time-only power to save Matt Giraud from elimination last week.

The five singers remaining in the competition are Iraheta, Giraud, Kris Allen, Danny Goeky and Adam Lambert.

In addition to the results, last year's winner-up David Archuleta returned to perform his latest single, "Touch of My Hand":
