This Just In....

A successful asset manager, who has just received a huge promotion, is blissfully happy in his career and in his marriage. But when a temp worker starts stalking him, all the things he's worked so hard for are placed in jeopardy.

So you know I had to go see the new movie Obsessed for two reasons, numero uno Idris Elba, that brotha is something else. Anything he does is always good or great! And the number two reason I had to see this movie was to see if Beyonce could improve upon her acting, or is she only good for those biographical, singing roles. Now I know there are many folk out there who hate on Beyonce's acting skills (me being one of them), but I will admit she did pretty good.

Obsessed in which she co-executive produced with her father Matthew Knowles as well as Earvin "Magic" Johnson actually did a good job on what I would like to call a modern day "Fatal Attraction".

Now one must admit from just the title alone you can automatically guess what this movie is going to be like from beginning to end. Crazy nutty girl who falls for the high level boss and the somewhat naive but gutsy wife steps in to let you its about to go down if you cross the line. Throughout the film, we are shown obvious signals that this "temp girl" is a force to be reckon with and if you don't cut her juggular now it will only become worse. Its real simple to see that Dereck Charles' (Idris Elba) life becomes flipped upside down in a instant from the minute he stepped on the elevator to go to work. He tried to be the loyal husband and great father, protector but he forgot one thing gotta clue your wife in on the situation too. Considering she worked in the office herself so she knows the deal!! I will say this the directors wee ver creative with the storyline, it made sure to captivate the audience and become personal cheerleaders for the winning team (Dereck and Sharon!!). Cause please believe Beyonce had her fans up in the building, yelling "Get em girl"...lol. But hey I guess that's the whole point right. Yep!

Overall, Beyonce and Idris characters have a bit of chemistry with their bad boy/bad girl personas but there was just a tad bit of overacting on the part of Ms. Beyonce. I think she tried to bring out Sasha Fierce and it just didn't quite work. However, Ali Larter on the other hand did what any typical psycho chick would do and did it with ease. You definitely will get a mouthful with this film even though we already know what's going to happen in the end.
