Starring: Olu Jacobs as Chief Ibekwe, Mercy Johnson as Cassy, Chika Ike as Brenda, Muna Obiekwe as Spencer, Ali Nuhu as Damian, Amaka Orizu as Bianca


Genre: Drama

Overall: What can love survive? Betrayal? Anguish? Deceit? What happens when the person whom you thought was your friend and had your back becomes your enemy? This is the question in this film. Cassy come back to Nigerian looking for revenge on the ones who sold her in to slavery. But in her bid to obtain revenge will she dig a bigger pit then the one that she escaped?

My rating is: 40%

Should you watch it: If you want to pass some time.

Performance of the Actors: Ok all of my peoples were good in this movie. Mercy, Muna, Olu, Ali, But after I started watching part 3,4,5,6,7 really I didn’t think this movies could be any more disjointed and wack. Please spare my eyes from more nonsense but I still recommend at least the first 2 parts.

Genre: Drama

Overall: Some people will do anything for money the biggest gigolo in town only dates older woman that was until he met the likes of Pandora. Pandora is a spoiled brat who gets anything she wants, that is until her Father marries a new wife without telling her. This sets off a chain of event that could destroy everyone involved. The father makes Cain a proposition he can’t refuse. That is when Pandora and the father Dirty secret is revealed. Shortly Pandora finds a new love but can the Sins of he past be erased? A must watch for sure.

My rating is: 60%

Should you watch it: I had to watch it twice to really appreciate what the script was trying to do. This is a subject that even Hollywood rarely tells. Give it a try.

Performance of the Actors: Frankly I wasn’t disgusted by it I have seen the edited and unedited version of this movie. Truthfully I think the scenes in the bedroom could have been better executed. I know it was meant to be the house if extreme sin but it was unrealistic. I mean really would they really be doing all that crap in their swimming pool? And how fake was the Step moms attempt at catching them in the act when it was finally explained in part 4 with her Kodak camera? I think it was the subject matter that deterred most people. Because either they don’t want to believe this happens or they want to keep it shut that it does. Either way I applauded the attempt again it’s one of those subjects that if Hollyweird(hollywood) was telling it they might be up for a Golden Globe.

Men In Love Part 1 2 3





Starring: Tonto Dikeh as Whitney, John Dumelo as Charles, Muna Obiekwe as Alex


Genre: Drama

Overall: The intricacies of marriage and the delicately torpid route is a must for every marriage for every couple. Charles' escapades have always been the bane in his marriage. His wife Whitney dearly loves her husband and would do all it takes to hold on to the pieces. Queries and reconciliation dictates the union on a daily basis, but for how much longer? What happens if the problems simply become intolerable his flagrancy transcends beyond established norms

My rating is: 20%



Should you watch it: Still not sure based on what I saw. If you watch you’ll know what I mean.



Performance of the Actors: OK so here it goes. I’m going to review this movie in two parts.



MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS



Part 1: The Objective Professional



This is 9ja’s version and call to Broke back Mountain. If this was Hollyweird John Dumelo would have been nominated for an Oscar Muna would be best supporting actor. The fact that a Nollywood movie is openly exploring the act of homosexuality in an open albeit convoluted way is very brave. I saw some of the interviews where John was defending himself saying he wasn’t gay & that he was just acting and I felt for the guy. The truth is all actors hope to land a role in which everyone talks about how great your acting was. And I believe this was an attempt at that. The problem with this film is that it was too long, unrealistic and poorly written.




Part 2: The Unprofessional

Many of you out there might be mad at my response but on a personally level this film was disgusting. I mean really how many women can you sleep with and go back and sleep with your wife. And then bet the Twinkie in a man on man relationship. It was obvious that you were not using condoms since by the beginning of part 3 Tonto is preggers. I mean really has anybody ever heard of HIV / AIDS!!!!!!!!!!!! Nimrods!!!!!! The entire angle that through rape John is converted in to a homosexual and then charmed in to loving Alex is soooo farfetched that it was practically retarded. And that scene where she catches them in the act made me cringe... maybe it was the wife in me that felt her pain. But really at that point I was like Batty man fi dead! That couldn’t be me. If that was my hubby I would have to kill somebody.


Anyways watch the movie if you wish but over all I gave the movie a 20 because the acting wasn’t up to snuff from my regulars – maybe due to the subject matter and also the writing wasn’t there for a good story line.
