Movie Reviews

I had totally given up on our Naija movies refusing to pay them any attention but after a while of watching American I was offered some African movies from an Ardent watcher and I decided to try them out. I found them quite relaxing and for now I have kind of incorporated the Nigerian Movie ‘thingie’ into my entertainment. It is sad when I get five new ones and hate the half baked attempt at entertainment. I took a friends advice, ‘watch a really nice one after a terrible Nigerian movie it is the only way to remove the bad taste from your mouth’. I have hence watched a few. For this reason I will go ahead maybe not exactly rate the movies but just say if you wanted some Movies to relax with during your honey moon then try these. They are recommended not as honeymoon storylines but because they were as it were, well written, the scenes actually flow and they give an overall taste of good entertainment.

Figurine: Starring: Kunle Afolayan (Producer), Ramsey Noah
B+ for suspense and a wonderful story tracing two fresh graduate friends in Nigeria vying for the love of a classmate. The Youth Service Corp(NYSC) is actually as portrayed. Ramsey Noah at his best


Guilty pleasures: Starring: Ramsey Noah, Nse Edom

B Ramsey Noah is in this one too. Totally gaining my respect and Nse Edom too. Shows how a man’s insecurities make him push the one he loves into the arms of another man.

Reloaded: Van Vicker, Uche Jumbo, Ini Edo, Desmond Elliot, Stephanie Okereke, Rita Dominic

C I think this movie tries to trace in the lives it follows, what makes a man cheat. Basically, man cheats, man gets caught

Entanglement: Desmond Elliot, Francis Duru, Yemi Blaq, Mercy Johnson, Uche Jumbo, Ngozi Ezeonu

C Wish they had left its title as entangled. The story actually flows. It traces church sisters as they go through the ups and many downs of their relationships with each other and the men in their lives.

Live to remember: Mercy Johnson, Ini Edo, Mike Ezurounye

C I love the palatable African scenes. No doubt it grabs you and takes you believably back home. A tale of two sisters’ that desire to stay together till death do them part. Mercy Johnson and Ini Edo are sisters whose parents are dead, thus driving their determination to stay together forever, even pushing them to marry the same man. Will it last?


A woman’s honor

C Many seem to love this movie. It is worth the time you give to see it. It is well acted. Tells you where a father’s heart should never go.

Sorry no rating at this time for poor movies(too many!!) maybe next time. If you do have a honeymoon to plan whether you are travelling or it would be a staycation, you could collect some of these while you shop. For your sake I hope to extend the list. See more reviews at www.fabnaija.com

As you prepare to wed, wed or stay married. I wish you Love.
