Deadly Affair 1,2 Ghanaian movie review


Starring:  Majid Michael, Jackie Appiah, Prince David Osei,

Genre: Drama , Romance, Suspense , Murder,

Overall: To the public they are the perfect couple but behind closed doors she was having illicit affair with Racheal, a photo grapher. Leo, her husband knew of their affair; he was silent about it but constantly gathered information on how to expose them. A perfect plan of revenge turned into an ugly encounter when Diana, Leo's wife found out her husband paid Racheal to kill her. A monster in disguised, so which of them can come out clean without pointing a finger. ( African movie place)

The first part of the movie  Diana is attacked by someone in her house while her husband is out at night having a drink with his friends. The second part explains how they came to the attack. Who was behind this plot ? you will be surprised.

 My rating is: 7/10

Should you watch it:  Yes, The second part of this movie is called Domestic Enemy. If you love a good movie with lies, murder, mystery you will love this movie although all the answers to the questions are not going to be answered in this one . I am actually going to watch the second part and review it.

Performance of the Actors: The actors plays their parts very well. Jackie always has some cute weaves on  and of course Majid is a cutie pie.  The movie is shot in a beautiful house and so far I really want to see the second part to see how this web of deceit unfolds.


Maybe my Ghanaian readers can answer this question why its always the same actors that play  the same role over and over again. There is only one mother in all the Ghanaian movies and y'all know who I am talking about.

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. I loved Susan Peters in this film... funny, funny, funny I good watch a relaxing movie check it out.

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.

Trinity 1, 2, 3



Starring: Starring: Nadia Buari as Barrister Naveda Daniels, Majid Michel as Barrister Dave, Kofi Adjorlolo as Macoy Yeboah , Ecow Smith Asante, Kalsoume Sinare


Genre: Drama

Overall: ‘Trinity’ tells the story of power, corruption, obsession and envy among other things that characterizes the generality of African politics.

My rating is: 40%

Should you watch it: Maybe on a sat evening waiting for your laundry to finish?

Performance of the Actors This movie stated out very good but by part three they lost me very upsetting that a director can’t keep control of the events and rushes the ending of the story line.

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.

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.

Who Loves Me part 1, 2 (Part 3 coming soon)






Starring: 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: 40%

Should you watch it? If only to see Majid grow a beard and Jackie in some cute outfits

Performance of the Actors: Really this is the most overly dramatic and over dramatized weak screenplay ever. Some movies do not need to be made. I can’t even comment on the acting because I know these two actors are good I’m boiling it down to script and direction. So Jackie, Majid, Kaluse and Kama Pass go and collect $200 and don’t look back!

SPOILER ALERT! ...Only a little :-D

The concept of this story is good but the drama overshadows the possibility of a good story and how unethical is that heart transplant scene. And how creepy is it when the mother professes her undying love for the child by saying that he is also her husband. And really how much more obsessive is this dude! In today’s world he would be in some deep physiological therapies. And was there ever really a choice to make between these guys? Just for the simple fact that His Mother committed suicide to save you kind of makes you indebted to be to the dude. As this story drags on I’m wondering if my strawberries are ripe enough to eat....is that bad?

Ok folks I’m almost near the end of the movie and the suffering. I really love the followers can you tell.

OMG a part 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!I hope when it comes out the torture doesn’t continue

Stubborn Prince




Starring: Majid Michael




Genre: Drama



Overall: The prince will not listen to his family he decides to go down the wrong path with some very fearful results. He later repents but the damage has been done.



My rating is: 50%



Should you watch it: You can if u love Magid. This is a slow movie. Typical and slightly boring



Performance of the Actors: So the Problem I have with Majid is that he has the tendency to overact. I can't blame him though in this movie only because the actress who plays his love interest beat him to the punch. Talk about Gaudy acting. It was like watching Wendy Williams trying to break through in a pretty young actress. The over acting could have also been due to the poor direction. Some of the scenes were just unbelievable. Remember Nollywood as much as I love you. Your story goes a long way with a little reality... an example for those who watch the movie (SPOLIER ALERT!!!!!!!) check out the informant from the rival gang. Who excuses themselves in the middle of planning an attack and furthermore who makes a phone call under a desk that can barely cover your bum! LMAO..See what I mean? Try harder and you'll be breaking the Hollywood market soon enough!

HEART OF MEN


Starring: Majid Michel, Jackie Appiah, Yvonne Nelson, Nadia Buari, John Dumelo
Genre: Drama/ Thriller

Overall:
Greed is the name of the game! Greed with money, love, fortune and sex!

Murder, betrayal, blackmail, & scams engulf the heart of man

My rating is: 10%

Should you watch it: Should you watch it? After all the hype maybe not... Then again maybe only for the Sex Scenes.


Performance of the Actors: Can you believe my surprise when I found this film online already! 9 mins in to the film and a lot has happened and none of it making any sense. This is already looking like another random disjointed Nollywood film to me. The sex scenes are random, random, and random! The actors couldn’t have saved this movie even if it was on life support. In the end the real reason the movie got my 10% was that I applaud the efforts of Nolly/Gollywood for stepping up to the plate I’m looking forward to the day that a film from Africa wins an Oscar and not in the foreign film category. Regardless of the controversy surrounding this film it was very mild. Nothing up to Hollywood standards. So I say give these types of films a chance. And pretty soon you’ll be watching Nolly/Gollywood at the local AMC!

Wild Passion 1 & 2 ~ The Sequel To Emerald


Starring: GENEVIEVE NNAJI, MAJID MICHAEL and TONTO DIKEH


Genre : Romance/ Drama /Fantasy

Overall: When we last left Genevieve and Majid We left the lovebird doing what love birds do but more drama awaits. It is revealed that no matter what happens Genevieve is the end for Majid. Knowing that can she change their fate? And if so how.
My rating is: 90%

Should you watch it? Yes, Yes, Yes

Performance of the Actors: Ok so part 3 & 4 of Emerald are the bomb but as with all Nollywood films that get in to part 3 and 4 of the same story. It can get a little campy. And there is a point when Majid’s acting gets a little over the top but isn’t that what we love? Watch it is a good conclusion to a good story.

Pretty Queen

Starring: ECOW SMITH ASANTE, GAVIVINA TAMAKLOE, Jackie Appiah, KOFI BUCKNOR, Majid Michael, RAMA BREW

Genre Romance

Overall:
This movie is just a bunch of blah blah blah that I have seen in Nollywood over and over again.... The story is about a prince that is forced to marry A girl he is not in love with . I got to say that I am sick and tired of watching all of those Ghanaian movies with the same exact  actors and  stories. The movie is set is very nice but the colors  of the costumes and the make up is horrible . I wish for once that Jackie would let go of these stupid lenses. The movie is boring  the only part i liked about is the fact that the prince is actually  in love with twins which bring a little twist to the  movie. They really need better scripts writers. There is a part in the Movie where Jackie takes her Hubby to be to the store to buy her wedding Gown. I don't know about you but even in Africa we don t let the Groom see our dress before the wedding .


My rating is: 40%

Should you watch it: If ain' t got nothing better to do .

Performance of the Actors: Mediocre.
