Face of Destiny 1&2

Starring: Desmond Elliott as Pastor Paul, Uche Jumbo as Esther, Jim Lawson as Chief Dickson, S.B. Rogo as Chief Abass, Tonto Dike as Lizzy , Yul Edochie as Jessy,

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.

Starring: Desmond Elliot as Ogidi, Nonso Diobi as Ugonna, Mike Ezuronye as Ezenne, Patience Ozokwor as Queen, Biola Ige as Mira /Myra, Chukwuma Uchebgu as Baron


Genre: Romance / Drama

Overall: The mystery behind the princess is worth fight for because her beauty, splendor, prestige and majestic influence is more than what the naked eyes can see. A royal secret surrounds her but none of the men is ready to let go. They are fighting tooth and nail just to get the attention of the princess. Best friends are now dire enemies and enemies and enemies are becoming friends for the same matter. The princess is kidnapped. Who amongst the men in question is doing this?

My rating is: 5%

Should you watch it: If it’s only to see Mike, Nonso and Desmond in all their sexiness then you are good Otherwise don’t waste your time.

Performance of the Actors: Truthfully I don’t know if it was the acting, the script, the production, the direction or the entire concept of this movie but it was pure TRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Really did you really think this movie was going to fly? The initial concept was good. Three childhood friends meet up again in Nigeria and run a successful business to distinguish themselves. It looks like nothing could stop them then they meet a girl.... blah blah blah. Also going against this movie was the absolutely annoying acting of the Baron. Rally you watch too much BET if you think that is an ameriacan accent and that is the way that people speak! It was the most annoying this and I have to admit that I had to fast forward his parts. N Please do not watch this movie unless you are board or tired!

Genre : Drama

Overall : This is a story about a family. Everyone is serving in the church but her. She used to be a church girl as well until a tragic event changed her life forever. Now she goes around and steels and uses men at her will against the family wishes. She even steels her sister’s Boyfriend. But God reigns supreme and A tough lesson in life is learned by all.


My rating is: 30%

Should you watch it: Not unless you have nothing better to do.  Like watch Paint dry LOL

Performance of the Actors: I've noticed lately that Desmond is getting a little too fat. Maybe all that time in the US didn't do him any good. Anyways Jackie was just ok as well but quite frankly it was the actress that played the sister that did it for me. She was good. The main characters names of hilarious Jackie plays Immaculate and nothing can be farther from the truth and the other actress played Gift. LOL. The killer here was that the movie was way too long. It was a good subject... What happens when the parents stop being parents and are always the pastor in and outside of the home? But they couldn't tie the issues the characters faced in a sensible dialogue. This movie is only a watch if you are getting your hair braided or something.

My rating is:95%

Should you watch it:  yes ,  you will  be guessing all throughout the movie. There will be  quite a few surprises Although  I am kind of tired of love stories in Nollywood  this movie was interesting.I could not help but notice  that Desmond Elliot  took a few pounds . He is no longer that sexy nollywood leading man .

Performance of the Actors: As usual  my girl Jackie  who was  such an innocent girl when the movie started turned to a Junkie by the end of the movie. She is so versatile and her performance is just off the hook.This is one of the best stories in Nollywood.

It's a kill or be killed situation, in a world were all isn't as it seems.

Should you watch it: I think so it's not a block buster but it will entertain you for the afternoon.

Performance of the Actors: the performacnes are good. Mona Lisa acts the same in most movies. I like her in the mother role, looking young and fresh. Hating Desmonds hair and those cheetah couches are wack. and the scean where he wears the matching shirt with the bean bag couch LMFAO. it was hard to take what he was saying seriously with such a distraction

That is an ode to the actors skilled in this movie.

Genre: Romance and Drama,Betrayal

Overall:
This movie is a about a Narrator that takes her viewers into the lives of her friends. As you can tell by the cast name this movie is really good. Rita ( the narrator talks about everybody naivety thinking that her heart will never be broken. NO  worries the way her heart will split up will be worse than any of the girls.All the girls in the movie face some kind of challenge with their men. The movie is very interesting although  I was a bit disappointed  with such a good cast.There are a lot of stories unfolding as the same time  so no need for me to get into each of them. 


My rating is:89%
