My rating is: 7/10

Should you watch it: Yes. You have to be patient with this movie because the first part is very boring and I was about to turn it off when things started to get heated. There are a lot of twists and turns that i was not expecting at all . I will not give you any spoilers so make sure you check it out. Donald parents are just typical African parents. They want to know everything about their kid's marriage.

Performance of the Actors: The chemistry between Tonto and Van is just incredible even tough they force things a bit at times. All the actors played their parts incredibly.

My rating is: 2/10

Should you watch it: Don't bother !! This movie has too many stories going on at the same time. I had a hard time figuring out what story they were going to stick with. The love stories , the friendships, the sickness, or the bad behavior of Mike. I know there are good friends out there but not this kind of puppy love.I could actually count how many times Nadia appeared in the movie so i don't know why she is on the cover of the movie.

Performance of the Actors: Very poor and overacting.

Performance of the Actors: Ok all of my peoples were good in this movie. Mercy, Muna, Olu, Ali, But after I started watching part 3,4,5,6,7 really I didn’t think this movies could be any more disjointed and wack.

Performance of the Actors: Oscar, Oscar, Oscar worthy by all the actors involved. Some parts of the story were stupid to me but that was because I have never gone back to someone who wished me harm. You’ll had me yelling on Omo on the screen.

My rating is: 40%

Should you watch it: Truthfully I didn’t really like catch me if you can and now this is a film from the same production stable. Great concept, poor execution. You can do without it.

Performance of the Actors: This movie had every potential of being great. I mean just look at the cast...fabulous. But what happened? Low budget? Poor production? Bad directing? It could be any number of things. Ultimately I didn’t enjoy and the ending was rushed. I say try again .

Performance of the Actors: The acting was good again not the greatest but over all good. I liked the angle they took with this movie. But Nollywood really there was way too much story I kinda wasted my afternoon just to get to the end. It is possible that you could help me out and tell an exciting and concise story under 3 hrs?

The father makes Cain a proposition he can’t refuse. That is when Pandora and the father Dirty secret is revealed. Shortly Pandora finds a new love but can the Sins of he past be erased? A must watch for sure.

My rating is: 60%

Should you watch it: I had to watch it twice to really appreciate what the script was trying to do. This is a subject that even Hollywood rarely tells. Give it a try.

Performance of the Actors: Frankly I wasn’t disgusted by it I have seen the edited and unedited version of this movie. Truthfully I think the scenes in the bedroom could have been better executed. I know it was meant to be the house if extreme sin but it was unrealistic. I mean really would they really be doing all that crap in their swimming pool? And how fake was the Step moms attempt at catching them in the act when it was finally explained in part 4 with her Kodak camera? I think it was the subject matter that deterred most people. Because either they don’t want to believe this happens or they want to keep it shut that it does. Either way I applauded the attempt again it’s one of those subjects that if Hollyweird(hollywood) was telling it they might be up for a Golden Globe.

Forever Young PT 1,2,3

2011-02-21T19:13:00.000-08:00

Starring: Jackie Appiah as Latisha, Kulsume Senare as Selimat Ellen Mahama, John Dumelo as Spark

She will bring down the heavens to protect her child and provide her anything she wants. But what is the motive behind such over protectiveness? What would the mother do to stay forever young? Find out in this suspense filled drama.

My rating is: 90%

Should you watch it: This is some of the best acting and script writing I have seen in a while. It kept me glued to the end.

Performance of the Actors: I love Jackie in this role it was a perfect mix of the outraged spoiled daughter and the “I want to be independent” young woman. As for Mama Kulsume, again another Oscar worthy performance. The fact that we felt that something was about to happen or was happening was awesome the looks I was waiting to find out what was next.

Believe Me Pt 1,2,3

2011-01-24T18:17:00.000-08:00

Genre: Drama

Is it true, did he do it...What could be his motive when the girl in question happens to be his girlfriend. Does the inspector have something else in mind and he is using this young man as a pawn...A must watch

My rating is: 75%

Should you watch it: Yes enough twists and turns to keep you interested.

Performance of the Actors: I think everyone was OK not great but OK. Most of part 2 consisted of Jennie’s flash back. The most real part of this movie was the fact that Jennie continued to pick the wrong guy. And the issue with the father’s infidelity and subsequent lack of help to free Derek was rushed and not explored enough. I would have loved to see more of that. Artus impressed me in this movie less of the overbearing yelling and crying and more of the smooth guy. I think I liked it.

Makers of Justice PT 1,2

2011-01-24T09:52:00.000-08:00

Starring: Nonso Diobi as Desmond , Queen Nwokoye as Cynthia , Seun Akindele as Kelvin, Sam Dede as Segun

Genre: Romantic Thriller

Overall: Desmond found true and lost her when he left to study abroad. Upon return as a dignified law enforcer, he tried to claim is lost love who was now married to his best friend. He commits murder and other atrocities to cover up his wicked act. When he least expected it, justice caught up with him as the Makers of Justice stopped him in his tracks.

My rating is: 50%

Should you watch it: Good concept slow movie. Your choice.

Performance of the Actors: As we say in the Caribbean. “de bowy is playin de ass” Nonso character is stupid to not at least give the chick a promise ring. I mean really what did he think he was going to find in London? I wish that part of the dialogue was explored a little more. Seun if hot in this movie he has that attractive cute boy look. 4 years later Cynthia and Kelvin meet and it seems that Cynthia’s is still carrying a torch for Desmond. Dryness! That’s too long! Ok I’m 33 mins in to this movie and I have one thing to say to Nollywwod as a whole. Do you not think that we notice locations? This movie shows Cynthia’s dad’s hose with a huge lion face as a sculpture in the front. That location has been in several movies. Part two is a little dry long dragged out scenes that are kinda wack. The funniest art is when the barrister’s daughter is kidnapped and she asks” Is that my daughter you just killed?” I f I was a mother I would have been asking something else. Script writer need to get in touch with people’s emotions. Do you really think she would be acting that way? I think more characters development could have made this film great.

Bursting Out PT 1&2

2011-01-18T18:39:00.000-08:00

Starring: Genevieve Nnaji as Zara, Majid Michel as Tyrone, Desmond Elliot as Bernard, Nse Ikpe-Etim as Tena, Ime”Bishop” Umoh as Amos, Susan Peters as Ibiere

Genre: Romantic Drama

Overall: A successful business woman found no line of omission in her life but her two close friends did. To them she is not complete without a man. They set several blind dates for her; the outcome was not impressive. Zara decided to give up on love until the right man comes her way. asked her to try a last blind date she has planned for her, she was reluctant but gave it a last try. This time the outcome was positive. Love was knocking at her door but with challenges that made her shiver with second thoughts. Does she open the door to embrace new challenges of the real world or just close her door and live her usual self-centered C.E.O life? Comedy and drama at your door steps.

My rating is: 80%

Should you watch it: Yes It’s a great date movie with your loved one

Performance of the Actors: I enjoyed this movie. Those who know me know that I’m a sucker for romance flicks but I believe this one was done in good taste. Majid did justice to this movie even though he line delivery needs improvement and what can I say about Ms Nnaji! Natural and excellent in this film. I loved Susan Peters in this film... funny, funny, funny I good watch a relaxing movie check it out.

Genre: Drama/ Romantic

Overall: Is it love or just a game? The chit chatting and lamentations never end, with mixed fortunes of agonizing and joyous experiences. Escalations in relationships saddled with broiled tests of fidelity. Enduring all the entanglement amongst four friends was trepidations, and the inclusion of a fifth attempts to derail the fragile serenity. Whereas 4play was an ensued tale and did unfold crunched and relatable episodes of inadmissible reality; 4play reloaded leaves you in total captivation and awe

My rating is: 98%

Should you watch it: YES...YES...YES

Performance of the Actors: For those who didn’t know now you know. Juliet Ibrahim is preggers. No it’s not acting because her face shows it and you hardly see her in this movie she delivered of a bouncing baby Boy and we say CONGRATS. Children are truly a blessing.

My baby John Dumelo aka Rex is at it again ladies I’ll tell you something if you catch your man cheating be mad but not surprised! Migid Michel aka Alvin is forever the womanizer has some of the funniest scenes in this movie. I was laughing my ass off. There are two new editions which I think were well thought out Yvonne Nelson aka Chloe and I love this couple they are cute and sexy together. You have the here Yvonne’s prayer in part one... classic I must admit I used to pray like that when I was young looking for love! LOL Ruby and Jake are still at it but Jake and trying not to be GAY. Apparently he was raped as a child and didn’t understand a woman’s love they. As for the others life goes on everyone played their part exactly to a T. It didn’t get 100% because of the ending but I was entertained regardless.

Crazy Scandal 1,2,3

He decided that the relationship was void of love. They lived apart form each other with their new love, but they later met and things got really dicey. Watch and decide if this is love or lust

My rating is: 60% Changed to 20%

Should you watch it: while doing laundry or with nothing else better to do

Performance of the Actors: Truthfully I loved Nadias crazy ways it’s a different side of her acting the acting could have been better but in the end they pulled off a good movie watch out for part 3
Ok, OK I know what you must be saying. How in God’s name could it get any worse? Trust me it was a total surprise to me too. What started out as a decent movie found its self in the” movies you shouldn’t watch” list. Poor sound, lighting, story, acting, random acts of nonsense were abound so much in part 3 that It made part 1 & 2 useless. Still loved Nadia’s craziness but ultimately it was a flush down the toilet. Sorry guys you are some of my fave actors but I don’t know whom to blame for this one a travesty all around.

Genre: Drama

Overall: SIR KEN IS WELL KNOWN BY THE AUTHORITY FOR HIS DEBIOUS NATURE WHILE BENSON AKINTOLA RUNS A SECRET DIAMOND BUSINESS. IT HAS BEEN VERY DIFFICULT FOR THE AUTHORITIES TO BRING ANY OF THESE BIG SHOTS DOWN. WOMAN IS THE WEAKEST LINK TO A MAN'S HEART. WHICH OF THESE WILL FALL FOR THIS TRAP?

My rating is: 10%

Should you watch it: NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Performance of the Actors: All I’m going to say is garbage, and really Biola is not an ugly lady couldn’t anyone lend her a tweezers to pluck that chin hair ugh!

Face of Destiny 1&2

2011-01-03T15:53:00.000-08:00

Esther and her friend decide to murder Pastor jessy after raising allegations of rape about the same person. what do they want from Pastor Jessy. Are they the same murderers of his brother ?

My rating is: 20%

Should you watch it: This had every potential to be a good movie but alas Nollywood dropped the ball again.

Performance of the Actors: Ok the wickedness of Desmond was good but he got annoying after a while. Uche was of course in her element in the bad girl role. Other then that the entire ending of the movie was drawn out and unrealistic.

Rebound 1 & 2 & 3

Starring: Desmond Elliott as Kelly, Uche Jumbo as Nicole Van vicker as Dr Ross Murphey, Jessica Isiguzo as Kim

Genre: Drama

Overall: She did everything for a man once which made her lose everything, Her Job her freedom, her dignity even her face. Now in the USA she gets a new face. Will she also get a new lease on life or is she destined for dead ends and deception for all time.

My rating is: 50% will hold my last review until I see the end of this movie. This reating has now moved to 20%.

Should you watch it: If you like convoluted half movies then sure.

Performance of the Actors: Ok I’m hearing that there is a part 3 to this movie. Considering how it ended there better be. So the funniest parts in this movie are in part 2 of Rebound. Part one was ok but really part 1 7 2 are completely different movies. Now seriously after the face reconstruction couldn’t they give this girl some make up? The most horrid pimple scars on her face. Van has never looked hotter in a film, I really like the square glasses look. And the lacefronts ugh! It looks odd when the dudes are rubbing their hand through the girls hair and it only flows to the sides because they know that if they pull that lacefront too hard it’s coming right off.

Ok Ok Part 3
All I'm going to say is the that I loved the last 7 mins of this film and that was partly because it was ending.

My rating is: 90%

Should you watch it: A good watch for sure.

Performance of the Actors: JJ does it again. And with a stellar cast. I especially loved it when the two girls were fighting in the entrance way of the house half way through the movie. Maybe because it is something I would have said. Good job everyone. For sure a keeper.

Trailer
