Obsessed with Film – Movie News – Reviews and Discussion – Blog Review

Now playing on a blog near you is “Obsessed with Film – Movie News, Reviews and Discussion”. This is a site that movie buffs are going to spill their popcorn over. Here you find a site containing all of your movie news, reviews, and discussion. There isn’t much about movies that you will not find on this site. What I love about this one, is that it carries a lot of unique features that sets it apart from the standard celebrity dish or movie fan site. You are not going to find general news feeds on “playing in theaters now” or “coming out on DVD” or “Oscar dos and don’ts” but you WILL find a wealth of anything movie related literally at your fingertips. The site is newsworthy and informative, and provides big screen lovers a place to get latest and greatest that you actually will be hard-pressed to find anywhere else. Recent posts prove that with headlines such as “Is Watchmen finally shooting in June?”, “Joe Carnahan and Jason Batemen are Remarkable Fellows”, “Macdonald Eyeing the Eagle of the Ninth”, “Posters and Billboards from the Cannes Film Festival”, “Bronte Sisters biopic attaches 2 (and a half) big names…” and those are just a few of the posts from ONE day. One I particularly enjoyed reading was “Andy Fickman Replys to Obsessed With Film”, a post detailing an almost heated banter between the author of the site and the director of the movie Andy Fickman. Seems Mr. Fickman got a little irritated by the use of the word “lazy” in Matt’s review of the Game Plan. Gotta love how directors consider the word review to actually mean a showering of outrageous compliments, but you have to go to the site to see it yourself. It is worth a chuckle.

Navigating the site was very easy. Posts are left marginalized on a very well done backdrop of celebrities and movie scenes. In both the bottom and right sided navigation bars you will find the categories for the blog which include a DVD Blog, Feature Articles, Greatest Scenes, Guest Reviews, Movie News, My Top 100 Movies, OWF Podcast, Movie Reviews, and a Forum for the blogs readers. Each of these categories was extremely well organized and again, relaying new information that would be compelling to the avid film buff. Take minute to read one of their featured articles like “Is Spidey 3 Indicative of a bigger problem with franchises?” or “Movie Devolution – Part 1 – Technology”. Pop into the message board, or check out the Greatest Movie Scenes link. Here you can replay clips from James Dean to Pinocchio and a host of the in-betweens. In reviews you will find everything from 28 weeks later to 16 blocks.

I am giving this one a 4.7 out of 5. What I like about this site is it has a huge amount of movie information, but it is more “right brained” than traditional movie blogs, so it gets some uniqueness points from me. The content is very well written, and the reviews are objective and comprehensive. I also like that you aren’t going to ONLY find the current hits or New Releases, but that the site appreciates the history of the film industry in one comprehensive blog. The navigation and appearance both scored very high as well, if I wasn’t reviewing it would take me a minute to even notice this as a blog. The site also does have a good following, so perhaps it could use some advertising to monetize it a little bit. I also think the forum could use a bit of promotion, as it currently only has 5 of 52 members listed as active, and the youngest post goes back to April. But otherwise, being a huge film buff myself, this one will get a bookmark for me as I am always looking for a good movie site that steps a little bit out of the box. I could tell you more about this site, and I’d love to, but space for me does not allow it. However, there’s a lot left unsaid that you need to check out yourself, and I am just going to leave that trailer rolling…..
