The Game 1 & 2

Starring: Yvonne Nelson as Shantel, Mijid Michel as Teddy, John Dumelo as Ronny, Yvonne Okoro as Brandy, Johanes Maier as Bill
Genre: Drama/ Thriller
Overall: "THE GAME" A gripping plot, set against the high flying social fabric of modern Ghana! "The GAME" delivers perfect grounds for a perfect murder, betrayal, greed, intrigue and revenge. ...When these stakes are high, even love comes laced with a motive. A face becomes a mask, handsome, beautiful or ugly, you never can tell what’s behind it! ... Who wins the game? ... One who plays to win or the one who plays to defeat?
My rating is: 98%
Should you watch it: Yes
Performance of the Actors: Another banger from Frank Rajah Arase. Everyone was off the chain, Very believable. Not feeling Yvonne Okoro’s face/lip ring but what every still beautiful and really did Frank have the put that line in the movie about himself and what is with the cop always eating oranges. For those little things they annoyed me enough to give a 98% I almost thought that nothing could be better than 4 Play, I must say that I have a tie.

Front Door 1 & 2

Starring: Mike Ezuronye, Annie Macaulay, Narsh Alexi Smith, Millicent Mugadi Wambi, Jme Orighoye


Genre: Drama / Suspense

My rating is: 80%

Should you watch it: Yes. It will have you guessing all the way.

Act of Faith 1&2

Starring : PATIENCE OZOKWOR, MIKE EZURUONYE, MERCY JOHNSON


Genre: Drama/Romance

Overall: Lesley and Uchenne have been praying and fasting for the fruit of the womb, But just when they thought that God was about to answer their prayers Uchenna was raped during an armed robbery attack

Traumatized and mentally depressed due to the rape, Now she is pregnant, And all their faith is put to the test......

My rating is:80%
 
Should you watch it: Yes. an oldie but goodie

Performance of the Actors: Everyone in this movie was good. They played their roles well. The only scene i hated was the one after Mercy was raped and in the mental ward. I know people will manifest their shock differently but really....? Anyways Patience was on point as usual especially when she first finds out about the rape LMAO, loved it and Mike was really believable as the outraged husband. A simple movie with a good story and message for sure.

Stolen Will 1,2,3,4

Starring: Tonto Dike as Millicent , Jim Iyke as Victor, Ngozi Ezeonu as Sure , Van Vicker as Dan


Genre: Drama

Overall: What is in a surname? If you ask Dan and his mother everything! How much of our life will you trade in order to have a surname? If you ask Victor and his Father nothing! Life is what you make of it not what your last name is. Then tragedy strikes. It’s time for the mice to be separated from the men...Who will prevail?

My rating is: 95%

Should you watch it: Yes! Will keep you entertained.

“Dan is so loaded his nick name should be activity .com”.......really is this what our facebook, twitter, hi5, MSN messenger, ICQ generation has come too!!!! I weep for the future.

But that was the only bad line in the whole movie. I must admit the first 20 mins were a yawn but then it picked up and grew on me to the point that I couldn’t wait to see how it ended.

Performance of the Actors: I love Tonto in the good shy girl role cause she was super cute and had some of the best lines in the movie. Jim as the good guy was very good. Hi romantic lines were delivered with hot butter and Van... What can I say loved the bad boy. I like that these actors were allowed to showcase that fact that they are good outside of their “A” typical roles. Nollywood stop typecasting! And Madam Ezeonu love her, lover her, love her. Only the best.

So lets stop all of this infighting and make AFRICAN movies a force to be reckoned with. Unite my talented brothers and sisters and lets move from the third spot in the worldwide movie market and claim our place at #1.
