Wednesday Night Movie Review

It's been a while and today isn't Sunday, but humor me.

So, I just saw the movie Close To Perfect, done by the Royal Arts Academy and starring Belinda Effah.

Ha! In recent times I begun not liking Belinda, even though I was excited for her when she started out. She was so good and from my neck of the woods. But then she begun over acting... I wasn't feeling her... it was as though she was forcing it and I was pained and quite frankly, frustrated.

But with this movie, hope bloomed that she wasn't a lost cause. She was indeed Close to perfect... pun intended!

This movie is about a young, maltreated Pastor's wife who has to live a charade with a husband who flagrantly cheats on her and refuses to sleep with her, all these done with his mother's support.

The Pastor, played by Seun Akindele, brilliant performance by the way, listened only to his mother and though he would've loved to divorce his wife as she couldn't give him kids, he couldn't do that because of the Ministry.

Real problem begun when his wife caught him getting a BJ in his church office. She moved out and stayed at a friend's place but got raped by the second pleasant surprise of the movie... Umar Krupp... that fair Ghanaian actor that is known for acting gay parts and that can chew gum for Africa.

Surprise, surprise though, Umar didn't play gay, neither was there a gum in the scene. He was the bad boy half brother of the friend and he drugged and raped Belinda, of course, impregnating her one hand!

Pastor called her a whore and treated her as such. He tried several times to instigate an abortion by poisoning, causing falls and bargaining; nothing worked, he even brought his mistress home with his supposed biological kid. ..

But then, bad boy Umar returned a changed man, desperately asking Belinda for forgiveness, begun being a true friend who rapidly fell in love with the Mama, all without knowing the pregnancy was his.

All in all, this is a movie you should watch. They acting was superb and Nollywood unusual...in a very good way.

Ciao!
On to the next movie 🎥

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 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: New Book Alert

It was for survival at first, then the hope of revenge, but love herded it the whole time. ...love for one man ...love for innocence ...love for humanity. 1 WAR In 2030, the exponential escalation of crime clogged the prisons with criminals, both deserving and undeserving. The justice system, warped as ever, scraped off the death penalty, but now it needed a place to send heinous criminals…and so Marshland was created, male and female prisoners dumped on an island. Laika gazed at the huge fence dividing Marshland from Nigeria, army men stood guard there, in addition to the vast, crocodile infested muddy water separating them; escape was impossible. She turned on the parapet to stare at the opposite side; the Cameroon Mountain could be seen at night in its lighted glory…Marshland Island stood between two quarrelling countries. Their only communication with Nigeria was the lone warship that transported distress materials to them once in six months; barri...
