Believe Me Pt 1,2,3
Starring: John Dumelo as Derek, Artus Frank as Abdul, Kalsoum Sinare as Jennie’s Mother Eddie Nartly as Mark, Magdaline Mensah as Jennie, Nana Akua Addo as Lisa
Genre: Drama
Overall: A dedication and religious man is accused of raping the daughter of the inspector of police. 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
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
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.

4 Play Reloaded Pt 1,2,3
Starring: Majid Michel as Alvin, John Dumelo as Rex, Jackie Appiah as Jezel,Omar Sherif Captin as Jayke, Roseline Ngissah as Angie, Yvonne Nelson as Chloe, Juliet Ibrahim as N, Yvone Okoro as Ruby, Eddie Watson Jnr. as Eric
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.

Genre: Drama
Overall: This drama is about two young couple that met and got married. They decided to get married, but then the husband decided to embarrassed the family on their wedding day. 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: What lies deep down at the bottom of Pastor Paul's heart is lust and the love of money. He trades his life for lustful desires, thereby ruining his only brother's life. 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.

Genre: Drama
Overall: It started out as a bet can men be faithful? Or do they all cheat? The some of the better lose but who will win in the end?

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.
