Should you watch it: No! It started out good then disappointed me. A first for Tchidi Chikere. I love his stories and acting.
Performance of the Actors: Again Van gets my vote. This is some of the best tortured soul acting I have seen in a while. Very believable. I’ll give you one spoiler there is a sex scene near the end of part one. WACK!!!!!! I am not expecting nudity but it’s a just feet scene. If you turn off the volume and you didn’t know any better you would swear that van was tickling the actress.

Overall: Ben is sent away after his father dies. He returns a successful man 5 years later it is now up to him to carry on the family legacy, But through a strange set of circumstance the company falls in to the hands of a seemingly incompetent rival. War breaks loose in the battle for control but as the saying goes all is fair in love and war.
My rating is:70%
Should you watch it: Why not I think it’s. A good Sunday Afternoon Movie.
Performance of the Actors: This is one of the first times I think my girl Mercy was very un-sexual. In the scenes between Jim and John there is no spark and no sizzle. John has disappointed me in this Movie But I forgive him he did me proud in 4 Play Why was all the acting so wooden It was like there were never really comfortable with each other and That ending Couldn’t it have been.....More Conclusive. The movie is called Sent of A Woman yet as normal the title had nothing to do with the movie. It should have been called “Corporate Takeover.” As usual and never disappointing Olu and Patience were awesome. My brother who normally doesn’t watch movies were laughing and following along with the movie.

4 Play Part 1 &2 &3
This is a repost of the original review on part 1...yes it's that good!!!!
Starring: The Good = Jackie Appiah as Jezel and John Dumelo as Rex; The Bad Yvonne Okoro as Ruby Omar Sherif as Jayke; The Ugly =Roseline as Angie Majid Michel as Alvin; the Dirty, played by Juliet Ibrahim as Nivera
Genre: Drama/Romance
Overall: “4PLAY” is a romantic comedy filled with love, lies, deceit and betrayal created around four best friends. It tells a story of four industrious young ladies and best friends who happens to be caught up with the wrong men in a deceptive web of love.
My rating is: 98%
Should you watch it: If you don't you will miss one of the best African movies made this year.
Performance of the Actors: Ok folks so now that I have all the parts of the movie and was able to watch it uninterrupted. I have to say it was more entertaining and well done then most American movies. The only problem was that it wasn't long enough to fully complete the story lines. The only thing I hated about it was the very end. Can we stop trying to be special and different and not role the credits before the actors have finished acting! It looks like the gag reel that you sometimes see at the end of movies.
All the actors played their parts to perfection. Unlike "Who Loves Me” from the same stable of actors , writers and producers, This little melodrama was worth the wait and worth my time. Thank you! Writers, Directors, Editors and Actors. I thought I was getting a little lost in the shuffle with the uninteresting stories coming out lately as you can tell from my previous posts they have been less then inspiring.
Keep up the good work. OSCAR here we come.

Who Loves Me 3 (continued from Who Loves Me PT 1 &2)
Staring: Jackie Appiah as Chantel / Jasmine, Majid Michel as David, Kaluse Sinare as Akosun, Kama Brow as Grandma Jane, Artus Frank as Rick
Genre: Romance
Overall: Wealth and fame were hers for keep, but true love was hers for want. Chantel deprived herself of love; with a desperate and intended focus on her work for fear that she might die of a terminal heart disease. However, David’s sudden presence in her life was perhaps irresistible, and his mothers noble gesture echoed the idea of a pre-destined, perfect duo even further. But was this preset of a scintillating fairy tale, deserved of a happy ending? A consummate, gripping, captivating and twisted tale of indifference, agony, love.
My rating is: 45%
Should you watch it: Sure why not Majid's fake beard gets bigger and shockingly gets a life of it's own and Jackies cute outfits are gone.
Performance of the Actors:OK so I realized the problem wasn't the actors in this film in the end it boilded down to story line, production and editing. PLEASE , PLEASE , PLEASE Listen all of Africa. Please edit your movies. Better to shoot too much film then not enough. Part three's storyline was grasping at straws and when you see the last 8 mins of this movies you will see why.
