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.

Forever Young PT 1,2,3

Sorry I've been away my peeps.  I'm in school and working at the same time but now I have a mini break so here it goes.........

Starring: Jackie Appiah as Latisha, Kulsume Senare as Selimat Ellen Mahama, John Dumelo as Spark


Genre: Drama

Overall: Behind the lights of extreme wealth, glitz, and glamour lies the darkest secrets to a woman’s heart. More so the heart of a mother. 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.

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.

Turn me on 1&2

The news simmered and spread in a flash, and his children who once cared less of his existence surfaced glamorously, not just to mourn their fathers death, but more purposely for a share of the wealth. Faced with an unassuming surprise for qualification as respective beneficiaries, an expos of greed, witty canniness, and disharmony ensued in a frantic effort for a share of the cake.

My rating is: 85%

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.......... The only thing that annoyed me a bit is the fact that new stories line  were coming  in along the way. Oh by the way the lovely John Dumelo is gay in this movie.
Performance of the Actors: Everyone  played their part really well . I have much love for the ghanain movies , Much of their storied are  better than naija movies.

My rating is: 75%

Should you watch it: Helped me fold my laundry and passed the time. Overall good watch

Performance of the Actors: What can I say all three of my sexy actors were in this movie. I think the emotions were there the story was there the buildup was there and then as usual the ending sucked. The rant by the jilted husband was wack and running off to not even see a kiss by the true love birds in the end was disappointing. But that’s why they call them oldies but goodies.

My rating is: 10%

Performance of the Actors: Everyone sucks in this movie. You can tell they are not really trying or they are working with a less the complete script. I think they are suffering from both.Part 3 has an interesting twist. But still too long!

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.

The Messengers Wife Pt 1 & 2

Starring: Jackie Appiah as Jacqueline, Joseph Pamfo as Chief, Ebenezer Donkor as Aygatu, Van Vicker as James, Tina Osei Owusu as Gina, Benny Agbemebiase as Mary Ann

Overall: A girl is in love with another man who is poor. Her parents want her to marry another man who is half her size but wealthy.

My rating is: 3%

Should you watch it: Except the first 15 mins NO

Performance of the Actors: Jackie is playing her part excellently. If I was the mother I would have knocked her out by now. I like in the bad girl role. Despite all of this I couldn't get through the entire movie. Very Bad avoid at all costs.

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

Starring: Jackie Appiah

Genre: Comedy , Drama

Overall:  Winner of the best film at the Africa Movie Academy Awards 2008, Run Baby Run is a fast-paced and frequently humorous thriller set between London and Accra. Struggling to get by in London, Junior gets a welcome surprise when his pesky little sister visits from Accra. The surprise is that her suitcase has mistakenly been exchanged, and the new suitcase contains a vast amount of cocaine.

But when the owners start tracking him down he must flee to Ghana, with his sister and English girlfriend in town. Source
Spoilers : Don't read if you are going to watch the movie. 
This movie made me proud of my fellow Ghanaians because this is a good story line. Most of the Ghanaians movies that have seen are not that bad . They always come up with a good story .  On the cover of this movie Jackie Appiah appears as the leading lady but she barely appears in the movie. The movie is hilarious....


My rating is: 80%

Should you watch it: yessssssssssssssss you should .It is a must see and by far the best Ghanaian movie

Performance of the Actors: Amazing

My rating is: 90%

Should you watch it: I think so is a perfect example of what can happen when a man is too much of a "panty"



Performance of the Actors: This movie surprised me I really enjoyed it. The actors in this film placed their roles appropriately and It was good. The only thing was that the storey was too long in some parts

Margret Thatcher Pt 1&2 ~ Margret Thatcher -The Heartless Queen PT 3&4

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.

The perfect Picture

 

Starring: Jackie Appiah, Lydia Forson, Naa Ashorkor,Mensah-Doku, Chris Attoh , Adjetey Annang, Nana Kwame,
Genre: Romance, friendship, Drama,

Overall
I was  finally  able  to watch what some called one of the hottest  and ground breaking Ghanaian movie. I really had some high expectation for this movie .So  the perfect picture is a story about  3 girls going through  different phases of their life . One just got married but  the husband does not perform in bed. One sleeps with every  men she can gets her hands on and one is having  hard  times  finding a husband.The Perfect Picture offers a colorful and humorous insight into a world where everything is as perfect as your life and that of your friends.If I  give you more details then the movie will be spoiled . All I can say is that it is a must see movie. This is nothing like your usual ghanawood . 

My rating is: 90%

Should you watch it:  Yes you should watch it . I think many women would relate to story line of the movie      Although I felt  that the movie should have ended differently .

Performance of the Actors: Good

Love and Pain

Starring: Van Vicker, Jackie Appiah, Ebenezer Donkor

The Young man continues educated, handsome and with status in life but for the society woman he has been with the childhood friends is the only one hold his heart and his love.



My rating is: 90%



Should you watch it: For sue it’s a “sucker for love stories” type of movie.



Performance of the Actors: Surprisingly everyone in this movies acts accordingly. Van surprised me greatly. His body language and expressions are on point in this film. This is due to the good direction that all the actors received. This is the type of movies I was waiting to see Van in for a very long time. He acted his role perfectly. Sure this is an oldie but it’s a goodie

Virginity 1, 2,3,4

Starring: Jackie Appiah, Desmond Elliot

Genre: Drama , love , Explicit 

Overall:
This movie is about a young woman ( Jackie ) telling her story to a TV show .  I  should start by saying if you intend to watch this movie with your kids think Again . The movie has some very adult scenes that are not for children . Anyways  (Jackie ) has been through tick and thin in her life. After the death of her  dad and disappearance of her mother she was bound to stay i believe with her step mother who will use her as a prostitute. At some point she manages to escape only to find herself with some arms robbers. To make long story short after all her trouble she finally felt in love with Desmond  who is  a drug dealers................ To find out  what is going to happen u have to watch the movie.

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.

The Prince is mine 1 &2

Starring: Nadia Buari , Jackie Appiah

Genre: love and drama

Overall
This is movie is a complete copycat of a Hollywood movie called the other Boleyn girl. The movie is everything but original and its always the same faces that we see in the Ghanaian movies. The story might appeal to a person that never heard of the story .There are part of the movie that are scripted words for words  .None of the actors were natural and the story line does not look like something that will happen in Africa. The story is about 2 sisters falling in love for the same man ( the Prince) . Due to the greed of their mother they both get married to the prince at some point even though the prince has a first wife.


My rating is: 30%

Should you watch it: waist of your time even though i love Jackie Appiah

Performance of the Actors: Poor

BLACK MIRROR Part 1 & 2

Starring:Columbo - DESMOND ELLIOT, Cynthia - JACKIE APPIAH, Vivian - MONALISA CHINDA, Bazoka - JIM LAWSON MADUAKE, Edwin - SELE KENT-SELE and John - CLEMS ONYEKA


Genre: Suspense / Drama/ Romance

Overall: James trusted and confided in his best friend Edwin, but how was he to know that he would turn his paradise into a nightmare, a fascinating story of an enemy who pretented to be a friend, Years later Edwin marries James's wife and has a daughter of his own but with prosperity comes temptation and edwin takes on a mistress who will stop at nothing to get her man. It's a kill or be killed situation, in a world were all isn't as it seems.

My rating is: 70%

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
