A Great Movie Review for this Sunday! - Ovy's Voice

I cried!
I laughed!
I giggled!
I was exasperated!
I screamed!
I smiled and chuckled and sobbed!
And most of all, I loved!

Oh my God! This movie wrung every possible emotion from me. I do not care if Nollywood copied this movie; if they did, then they copied it well.
If they didn't copy, then, Wowza!!

The film is about a mute make up artist whose sole means of communication is through the written word, becomes close to the son of one of her best clients, however there is an obstacle stopping her from fully allowing him into her world.

 Ah! I've never paid attention to Bisola Aiyeola, but she killed it! I hope she got an award for this film; me, I'll start seeing any movie she's in. She and Mofe Duncan, my God, the chemistry was sweet. Shaffy Bello did not disappoint and Uche Ogbodo too.

 Written by Biodun Stephen - much respect. And directed by Dimeji Ajibola - I'm bowing for your tightness, director! 🙌🏽

 This film handled so many societal issues without being obvious about it. The movie just flowed, at first it was about a mute girl who surpassed her disability to make something of herself. Then we see how her clients love her, then how she meets this arrogant guy who practically falls at her feet in love with her later. But the high point was finding out what made her mute in the first place. 

 The movie tells us that Love is real. 
Disabilities are real but not limiting in today's world. 
And abuse, in all sorts of depraved forms, are real too. So be aware. 

 This is a movie to see.  
I'm still pinching myself and wondering if this is a Nollywood film. It definitely wasn't the usual. 
Seriously, if I could hug these guys, the actors and director and writer, I would! 

 Ciao! 
On to the next movie 🎥 ...

 Emem Bassey. 😘

Pandemic Movie Review - Native Girl

It's been a minute, folks. Hope you're holding up okay in the lockdown. The pandemic has necessitated that we do any and all things and that includes all the channels on DStv,  even the terrible ones; cue - African Magic Epic...shoot me already! Anyway, this evening, the movie Native Girl came up and apart from the descriptive name, what caught my attention and held it was the director's name - Yul Edochie. (Ahem, a few of us fancy his gravelly voice). He's a great actor though, and this was the first time I was seeing him as director, I was really interested in the movie. Except, when the movie began, I got distracted by another person, the herione - Judy Austin. She was phenomenal as the native girl who could only speak Ibo language despite her absolute beauty. Brief description: Yul Edochie played Uchenna, a business man in the US whose mom wants grandkids and therefore introduces a woman to him on phone. Said woman is so beautiful he approves his mother...

WAR: Second Free Chapter

2 SEIZURE The war started in her mind first. Laika took count of the soldiers on board the warship. As a single female prisoner, she got only five escorts, one ship steerer and the captain who was so fat he could barely fit in the door to his cabin; she counted six in all, as she couldn’t regard the captain as hostile. She took stock of weapons at her disposal and for the first time, the clogging stench of the crocodile filled muddy water was her strongest ally. It was a stench so vile that one would regard the smell of a dead rat in a damp, stuffy house as potpourri. She noticed that the armed guard beside her started twitching his nose as the ship made its torturous way through the college of crocodiles and possibly decayed bodies thrown into the marsh for as long as Marshland existed; bodies that the crocodiles apparently refused to devour, so pieces of human body parts floated around stinking up the place. The stench was her distraction. Then she had to find a way...

EATING HEALTHY IN UYO: The Parfait Discovery

First off, happy new year, y'all! It's been a wild while. I know it's almost the end of January, but hey, this is Nigeria, right? Lol!  So, a while back, like five couple of months, eating healthy in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State was a bore. Plus it was reducing the weight of our purses instead of our belly and bumbum.  Anyhoo, take a look at the innocent cup below...  Innocent and exotic looking. This here cup goes for N1500 at 19, Uruan street - Freshblesyns Fruit Juice Bar.  It was innocent until I took the first scoop. Hmmmmmm! Sweet, blessed sweetness! I could practically see my flat stomach behind my eyelids. The crunch, the melt, the juicy, the sour, the sweet, all mixed to encourage a foodgasm!  I made love to the rest of that innocent looking cup. When I was done, it looked ravished and experienced. If you're in Uyo, go here and eat healthy without grimacing.  My gift to you.  😘😘😘 Ciao!
