This Sunday's Movie Review

I hate poetry. 

As a teenager, I didn't like it as part of my literature and it got worse as I grew. I had the impression, I still do, that poets try as much as possible to confuse with their words. I mean, why give me a headache in a bid to understand what was supposed to be entertaining and pleasant? 

I diverse. This movie is obviously about poetry and when my sister asked me to see it, I refused but she transferred it to my laptop anyway, and I thank her. Yes, you heard me, I thank her. 




The movie might have started out a bit boring, after the first scene anyway, but I begun enjoying it when I realized what poetry should be and what Rap has become.

It pains me to agree with the movie that rap, which I love, has become redundant by only voicing violence, promiscuous sex, money as the epitome of good life while poetry is so much more. 

The movie made me recall the only man that made me love poetry by teaching me rhymes. The movie inspired me to start writing again. 

There was a lot of intense chemistry going on, especially between Azealia Banks and Lucien Laviscount. These two are practically unknowns to me but, wow, they were good together.

I love Jill Scott, though her part was mean, but she didn't disappoint. The director, RZA did make a point with that movie - Poetry is about deep emotions and correction of ills. Rap could be that too.

Movie Review: God Calling...

BB Sasore, thank you for this movie. I have no idea if you experienced this movie or someone else did, but, I am convinced this movie couldn't have been someone's muse - this was real life experience! Ladies and gentlemen, if you haven't seen God Calling, you absolutely should. This movie has a star studded cast, amazing directing, apt graphics that just blow your mind and great acting that depicts reality to a zing. God Calling is about a family, man, wife and a daughter. They are happy, but wife doesn't like God or religion. It shows when she is forced to go to church by her little daughter and the pastor stops mid preaching to tell her 'God is calling you'. She scoffs it off and tells her husband that the pastor is looking for money. From thence, her life spirals out of control and brings her to a point she wants to kill herself... I cried and screamed during this movie, mostly because I've experienced something like it. Everyone needs to s...

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...

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!
