Tuesday Night Movie Review - Chief Daddy!

Nugget: See a movie first before you judge...  I'd seen trailers of this movie and had eagerly anticipated watching it. But, I became uncertain about it after reading a certain review, advising people against seeing the movie as it was a waste of time. Obviously, that was her opinion and just so, I could understand  her point, I did really look out for the concerns she'd raised, and I realized this lady must have been seeing the movie while having a bad hair day. Anyway, Chief Daddy is the generic African story of a wealthy man who had sewn a lot of wild oats and the legitimate wife got to find out after his death. Apart from the top notch cast which brought me giggles, everybody had their parts down! Special whoop to Falz, that guy got the British accent so down, it was annoying at some point. Ebony life did great on this one. I was awed to find they inculcated their legal series - Castle and Castle into the movie; it's growth that this sort of development is o...

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...

New Story Series Ad

Hi guys, So, in a bid to entertain you while still passing information about different kinds of hustles, we came up with a story series we are going to call "The Viewing Center". The series is going to be about the daily dramas that ensue in the process of streaming soccer matches and customers' reactions to things. We really hope you are going to like it as this will basically be a sort of reality show from a real viewing center...and not the tush kind...there might even be videos 😉. Watch this space for more. We love and thank you for the support! Ciao!

Strange Monday Movie Review - Fool Me Once!

I couldn't wait for next Sunday. I don't know how this movie will end, but damn it, I was enjoying the good old Mills and Boons love story when, bam!. .. I was hit with the reality that some women are just stupid!!! Or maybe, it's the heart that is stupid. But whatever, God has given us women some pretty strong wisdom and intuition, yet,  some of us just refuse, absolutely to use it! Man, I'm angry! God dammit! Watch the movie too and be furious. Peggy Ovire and Frederick Leonard made me recall why I read Mills and Boons as a teenager. I'm still angry.

Movie Review Sunday - Who. Cheats. More

This a question we all want answers to, but it's probably not going to be in this movie as it ended happily ever after. I met it half way and didn't really know the back ground of the story, but I have to say, the actors, especially, Van Vicker, was absolutely amazing at portraying his real emotions through facial expressions. Apparently, his fiancee, Ruth Kadiri, was with him for the money and not love. Van decided to beat her at her game and took her on a roller coaster ride, even landing both of them at Ruth's ex's house. The ex asked her to marry him and Van pretended to be her brother and encouraged her to agree. But then she got pregnant! Though, before that, she has already confessed that she was madly in love with Van and begged that they should abandon the scam and go do something for them selves. This is a nice movie. I know guys will cheer on Van. On to the next movie 🎥 Ciao! Emem Bassey.

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 wit...
