Obsessed

Current IMDB Rating: 3.8/10
My Rating: 6.5/10

Despite my rating for this movie, I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I laughed throughout the entire movie, not as much because the movie was laughable (though there were parts that were), but because it was a fun movie. Overall, I was right by saying, before the movie, that this would be the Showgirls of this decade. Showgirls meaning totally campy, but a lot of fun to watch.

I like my comedy quick and witty and unexpected. This isn't that. Although most of the comedy is extremely unexpected... EXTREMELY unexpected... it isn't really quick or witty. A lot of gross out humor that pushes envelopes that haven't been touched since John Waters made his last movie. There are about two full minutes at the end of the movie where a fat man runs around a mall in the nude and ends with him being shot and blood flying everywhere. By that point in the movie my mind had been so warped (as far as not knowing how to react to certain scenes) that I ended up cracking up at the man being shot. It was not pretty. So, I do think this movie was put together well, and I don't think anyone other than Rogen could have played the main role, but it is very awkward and not what I was expecting at all from the previews. Go into it with a very open mind.

The Haunting in Connecticut

Current IMDB Rating: Not Yet Rated
My Rating: 7.8/10

As I felt upon watching The Last House on the Left recently, I feel with this movie. A dramatic film with scary or horrifying moments is always better than a horror film that tries to be dramatic. This is the case with The Haunting in Connecticut. It reminded me a little of The Exorcism of Emily Rose where the story began being about something else and then turned into a scary movie. Overall, I liked it. I thought some of the logic in some parts was a little off, but the way everything was revealed toward the ending was good and not at all like a Saw movie where it keeps you in the dark the whole time and explains the entire hour and a half in about 30 seconds.

Dream Boy

Current IMDB Rating: 6.7/10
My Rating: 6.8/10

This was an okay movie with an okay cast acting out an okay story. It was enough to hold my attention and there were some interesting moments. I wish some parts had been staged differently and some parts had been re-cast, but I guess if it hadn't been done this way the movie wouldn't have been made at all. A nice movie for a night when there's not much else to do.
