My rating is: 90%

Should you watch it: Yes this is a great movie.

Performance of the Actors: This movie may have been made with a low budget but for sure the message came across loud and clear. It was interesting and very good. All of the actors were great and on point. This shows a story of the true desperation of the wants and needs of people.

She will bring down the heavens to protect her child and provide her anything she wants. But what is the motive behind such over protectiveness? What would the mother do to stay forever young? Find out in this suspense filled drama.

My rating is: 90%

Should you watch it: This is some of the best acting and script writing I have seen in a while. It kept me glued to the end.

Performance of the Actors: I love Jackie in this role it was a perfect mix of the outraged spoiled daughter and the “I want to be independent” young woman. As for Mama Kulsume, again another Oscar worthy performance. The fact that we felt that something was about to happen or was happening was awesome the looks I was waiting to find out what was next.

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.

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.

Should you watch it:  yes you should. Although  I am sick and can' t stay awake for a long time this movie kept me wanting for more  and more .  The blackmail,  killing and so on..........

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.

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.

The DNA Test Pt 1, 2, 3

Starring: Van Vicker as Henry, Juliet Ibrahim as Diane, Rama Brew as Ante Ellen, John Dumelo as Lawyer Eddie Nartey as Mike

The plot thickens as the doctor performing the DNA test seeks to take advantage of the situation for his own selfish interest. Find out the fate of this heart broken mother and her unborn child.

My rating is: 30%

Should you watch it: Not really. It’s too Long and after all of that there is a part 4 *sigh*

Performance of the Actors: John Dumelo is barely in this movie but I must say this is some of the best acting I have seen Van in ........GO VAN! You have my vote.

War breaks loose in the battle for control but as the saying goes all is fair in love and war.

My rating is:70%

Should you watch it: Why not I think it’s. A good Sunday Afternoon Movie.

Performance of the Actors: This is one of the first times I think my girl Mercy was very un-sexual. In the scenes between Jim and John there is no spark and no sizzle. John has disappointed me in this Movie But I forgive him he did me proud in 4 Play Why was all the acting so wooden It was like there were never really comfortable with each other and That ending Couldn’t it have been.....More Conclusive. The movie is called Sent of A Woman yet as normal the title had nothing to do with the movie. It should have been called “Corporate Takeover.” As usual and never disappointing Olu and Patience were awesome. My brother who normally doesn’t watch movies were laughing and following along with the movie.

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.

4 Play part 1

My rating is: 70%

Should you watch it:  Yes

Performance of the Actors: Again Mike was good. Ini was very understated in this film.. Not sure if that is a good thing. Patience ...WOW what else can I say. The most annoying part of this film was the fact that there was no follow up or mention of the daughter would have loved that. Also Patience daughter was annoying not sure why but a good slap would have been justified and the husband in this role kind of seemed a little like a sly person who is not to be rusted. This actor didn't come across like he could be the father. My baby John Dumelo. Love him but hated him in this movie this charter was not used appropriately in part 3&4. Over all a good movie with a good ending.

It seems now the brother that was banished all those years ago hold the key to their survival. Destiny has come to fulfill it course............Who pays the price of honesty?

 My rating is: 75%

 Should you watch it: Yes

 Performance of the Actors:  Mike is one of my favorite actors in Nollywood. I really have to say that this role surprised me. I feel that in the past he has been type cast because he has the "angry" "spoiled brat" face that he usually does all the time. This film was different although slowing his speech may have on purpose to portray the character as a wise thoughtful man his expression and emotions in this film were on point. He was perfect for the role. As usual Patience was awesome. I love this woman in any role she plays. I think her acting brings out the best in the other actors making it for a good film. It's a good story line and could have been left there, but in true Nollywood fashion there is a part 3&4 under a different name. No spoilers this time around for sure worth your time and money.

Her life turns from happy to hell, and it was just a matter of time before she caved in to the desires of her roaring devourer.


I don't even know where to  start with this movie. I was amazed as to how they pushed it to far in this movies. I understand that  its something new but man . ....... Anyways the movie is too long and the ending is disappointing .  I will not give you any Spoiler on this one  ,so have fun

My rating is: 90%

Should you watch it: 

This is a good movie because it has an excellent story. Gollywood is stepping up. And while I hear the crickets chirping I ask....Where my Nollywood at? The key to this movie is the storyline although not the best cinematography in the world It kept me glued enough to want to watch part 2 and 3. A good foundation always builds a strong house.

Performance of the Actors: It was an easy watch and had just enough heat to make you forget it was John and Yvonne playing the characters... You started watching Sagama and Alia. Bravo! I have criticized Yvonne in the past but if she continues on this good acting track I may just forgive her. As for Juliet I like her in supporting roles. She still annoyed me in this movie but I have seen worse. She's getting better.
