Obsession (2025) (3 Months Later)

​SO, it’s been (almost) 3 months since my review on Obsession (2025) starring Michael Johnston and Inde Navarrette and since then i’ve now seen it 3 times. It’s been so refreshing to see a movie become so popular purely because it’s good and not because it’s a half assed sequel or god forbid, part of the MCU (no shade, my love for Spider-Man may as well be a part of my personality). Cinema is not dead.  I’ve had a lot of time to process more on this movie and wanted to clarify a few things in case my one reader was confused on anything.  First off, movies a 10/10. I originally had it as a 8/10 but this movie consumed me and my mind for weeks and after my second viewing I just thought, fuck it, give it a 10. Second, I mentioned in my first review that I was really adamant on not liking Bear and I wasn’t sure if that was the intention of the film. It was 100% the intention on the film. But, I guess my hesitance on firmly stating that point was because I hadn’t looked at other re...

Backrooms (2026) Review

SPOILERS!!!!!!! ​ Tonight I watched Backrooms with Liam, Charlee, Charley and Ethan I wasn’t as hyped as most people for this movie but I was still excited. The short film showed a complex world that could be expanded on. Getting right to the chase, I did not like this movie. Backrooms is about a character called Clark who discovers a secret doorway in his furniture shop to another… world? That’s the basic overview of the film. There’s also the whole other plot with the therapist but trust me, we’ll get to her.  So, where do my problems lie?  NUMBER 1: everyone is so fucking SLOW. I understand that it’s a strange new world and it’s all weird and bizarre but holy shit pick up the pace bro. Genuinely such a snails pace the characters and the movie has. But when Mary (the therapist) is getting chased by a tall creature and is not going as quick as I think she should, that shit bothers me. BUT, thats a me problem.  Even when Clark finds this new world theres no sense of confu...

Obsession (2025) Review

MAJOR SPOILER WARNING! I’m going to be going balls deep into this movie so be warned, ALSO TRIGGER WARNING for sexual assault Today I went and saw Obsession with my good friend Liam  This movie is about this guy called Bear who has a crush on this girl called Nikki. He’s hopelessly in love with her but way too nervous to tell her how he feels. You can tell early on in the movie that she doesn’t reciprocate his feelings and sees him as just a friend. In an attempt to tell her how he feels, Bear buys a gift for her at this spiritual type of shop which ends up selling a trinket called the One Wish Willow. Basically, you can make a wish before breaking the middle and it comes true. He chickens out of telling her how she feels and makes instead uses the wish to make Nikki love him more than anyone else in the entire world.  So, because this wish works, Nikki now loves him and they start dating. It’s very clearly abrupt to their friends as to how they’re both now together because Ni...
