A ★★★★★ review of Who Is Harry Kellerman and Why Is He Saying Those Terrible Things About Me? (1971)
I think the best way to describe this movie is to look at the title of this movie: Who is Harry Kellerman and Why is He Saying Those Terrible Things About Me? That question is not necessarily answered...

You hit it on the head. I know it sounds pretentious, but understanding film theory is essential. With Curry Barker, it almost felt like he skipped over acquiring that knowledge and jumped straight to filmmaking. It shows. The film has close to no foundation. It was good, but could have been better.

What I saw in theaters is not what I was hearing being hyped. It’s an average film, with a great premise, but I have seen better overall.

Obsession (2026) has some great moments and includes a breakthrough performance from Inde Navarrette, but this is not the “scariest” horror movie so many are making it out to be. At best, it’s a good directorial debut for Curry Barker. boxd.it/epPMRV #obsession #obsessionmovie #horror #movies

A ★★★ review of Obsession (2025)
Obsession (2026), bluntly put, is a fun film experience. The film offers a level of relatability in it focusing upon an individual who cannot proverbially “pull the trigger” on attaining something he ...

My initial thoughts on Curry Barker’s directorial debut horror film, Obsession (2026). Initial thoughts in the alt text! #movies #horror #horrormovies #currybarker #obsession #obsessionmovie #alphacriticreviews
While this film may not be complex in scope, it mostly delivers. Curry Barker’s directorial debut, Obsession (2026), is a creative play on a variety of horror tropes, making his own unnerving experience. The overall format of the film has the feel of an extended YouTube channel episode, which is no surprise, given Barker’s background, but feels slightly out-of-place on a cinematic level.

Obsession (2026) has the consistency of a salt bagel. This film has some serious PUNCH to it that stimulates the senses at various times. Curry Barker is tapping into a special kind of psychological horror that fuses together tropes from iconic horror films such as Gaslight (1943), Get Out (2017), Fatal Attraction (1987), Evil Dead (1981), and even Weapons (2025). It’s not a perfect film, but it does offer something that is uniquely its own.

Jeremy Iron’s performance as Claus von Bülow is one literal double entendre. He’s either a menacing monster of the unluckiest man. He may be boldly lying or maybe his truth is THAT absurd that it’s possibly true.

Do you know about Cher’s 1986 “Revenge Dress?” #Oscars #AcademyAwards #Cher #movies #film #moviesky
Cher’s performance in the 1985 film, Mask, was well regarded with critics and audiences alike, even earning her a Best Actress award at the Cannes Film Festival and a Golden Globe nomination.

However, Cher failed to get an Oscar nomination for her performance, which she felt was an unfair snub. As revenge, she attended and presented at the 1986 Oscar ceremony with no regard for the ceremony’s wardrobe etiquette and wore a dress that was deemed to be a blatant middle finger aimed at The Academy.

I normally am not a fan of Westerns, But Hondo (1953) did do a good job deviating away from Native American stereotypes prevalent during time and actually strived to make an honest western film. boxd.it/da7HOL
