Another Sunday Movie Review - A Rant

More like Fifty Shades Fed-up!

The producers of this franchise could have given it all while they were still ahead. The three parts could have made a pretty explosive one movie or two, if they really hated the idea of one. Granted, the first part was novel and so sold like wild fire, after the second part, I believe readers of smut books were pretty frustrated.

The producers did shock audiences by pushing the boundaries of propriety in a box office, but after that, it was just bleh; humans adjust to things pretty quickly. The second part of the movie should have been more spectacular than the first, but it wasn't. So, the third was simply obligatory and for bragging rights "Yay! I saw Fifty Shades Freed".

As a pornographic movie, this would be a success, it has an awesome story line and numerous sex scenes that in a box office were quite vanilla. A movie like this needs the full dose, not giving a lot but not enough - know what I mean?

And then they went and said "Don't miss the Climax"

Yeah right! There was nothing climatic about it, I was only glad there was a bit of kidnap and fair action, or else, it would just been about watching a couple explore their sexual fetishes. I fervently pray there isn't another part to this franchise, I hope there isn't Fifty Shades After Freed, where Anna would probably decide to be exhibitionist!

A caricature of Fifty Shades of Grey had been released by Marlon Wayans - Fifty Shades of Black, where he, of course, was Mr. Black. As expected, it was equal parts ridiculous and hilarious and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

That the Fifty Shades franchise is hopefully done, I am Fifty Shades Relieved!

Now onto the next one...

Emem Bassey.

WAR: Third Free Chapter

3 EVACUATION She stood on the deck of the ship as it slowly berthed at the walls of Marshland. A rope was let down from the parapet as opposed to the walkway, only let down when resources had to be transferred from the ship into Marshland. Laika had undressed the soldiers, even the guy in the control room, which she had tied up on his chair in only his under shorts. She had parked up all the uniforms and boots in a large duffel. She heaved it over her shoulder and began climbing the ladder with the conviction of meeting Zuka at the top. She wanted to grin when she saw that she’d been right but Zuka immediately looked down her cloths, questions shone in his eyes. “War. Cameroon is bombing this place in the morning and Nigeria isn’t going to do anything,” Laika explained urgently, dropping the duffel at his feet. “What…?” “I commandeered the ship, we have less than an hour to evacuate everybody before the soldiers at the wall suspect foul play.” “But, Laika…” “Hey...

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...

Movie Recommendation - Overcomer!

Made in 2019, I have no idea why I'd not seen this movie until now. Perhaps it was the right time. I'm not going to review Overcomer, I'm telling you to see it. Words from me cannot explain the morale that comes from seeing this film. So, find it and see it. Enjoy. ABOUT OVERCOMER From the creators of the #1 box-office hit, WAR ROOM, life changes overnight for coach John Harrison (Alex Kendrick) after he loses his basketball team and is challenged by the school’s principal, Olivia (Priscilla Shirer), to coach a new sport he doesn’t know or like. As John questions his own worth, he dares to help the least likely runner take on the biggest race of the year. Filled with a powerful mix of faith, humor, and heart, this inspirational story will have you on the edge of your seat. The Kendricks Brother are obviously amazing. I never knew I'd seen any of their movies. But apparently, I've seen 5 of the 6 movies they've made. Ciao!
