Secret Obsession (2019) - Movie Review

Time for a little trip in the WABAC Machine to one of my earliest reviews: Before I Go To Sleep. If any of my long-time readers have forgotten about this movie, don’t be alarmed because I had pretty much forgotten about it myself. A psycho-thriller that is essentially 50 First Dates on Ambien, it served mainly as a reason to waste the talents of the actors involved (my opinion on Nicole Kidman as an actress has improved dramatically since writing that initial review) and an example of how to do psycho-thrills poorly. I bring all this up because the film we’re looking at right now is basically that film minus anything interesting.

Naked (2017) - Movie Review

With December fast approaching, I can already feel my brain preparing itself for the ensuing marathon of reviews. Of course, with the increase in aptitude to see films, there’s also an increased willingness to subject myself to... less-than-ideal releases. The kind of films that people would usually come across in passing and never think of again, either because they’re too dull, too stupid, or just too bad in general. It’s the same mindset that led me to reviewing Fifty Shades Of Black last year, a film as useless as it is a failure at what should be the easiest job in the world: Taking the piss out of the works of E. L. James. And now, it seems that Marlon Wayons and Michael Tiddes are back it again with a Netflix-exclusive release… and somehow, it has an even lower approval rating than Fifty Shades; either version. We’re dealing with another addition to The 0% Club today, so strap yourselves in for what will most likely be a complete disaster.
