Afamefuna (Nwa Boy) Review: A Riveting Journey Through Tradition and Ambition

I recently found myself in a rather amusing predicament – heading to a movie screening alone, a movie I was supposed to watch with my girlfriend. She’s out of town, and in a classic ‘don’t-you-dare’ moment, she warned me against spoiling the plot. But here I am, about to tread dangerously close to that line. ...

Battle on Buka Street

Battle on Buka Street: A Tale of Familial Rivalries and Cultural Disparities

“Battle on Buka Street”, the recent addition to Amazon Prime’s collection of Nigerian films, unravels a riveting narrative revolving around two sisters, Yejide and Awele, who find themselves perpetually at loggerheads, a rivalry that is all too familiar in African polygamous households. Taking the lead roles are Nigerian actresses Funke Akindele and Mercy Johnson, who ...

The Perfect Find

The Imperfect Execution of “The Perfect Find” – A Netflix Film Review

“The Perfect Find,” a Netflix adaptation of Tia Williams’ novel, holds promise with its intriguing plot and an impressive cast that includes Gabrielle Union, Gina Torres, Keith Powers, and Aisha Hinds, among others. However, the film stumbles in its delivery, presenting a narrative that often feels scripted and lacks emotional depth. Gabrielle Union takes the ...

Tinsel

Perhaps It’s Time for Tinsel to End: A Brutal Autopsy of a TV Titan

Television, like any form of storytelling, has its life cycles. Series rise and fall, characters evolve or regress, and narratives build to climactic peaks or descend into abyssal valleys. In this complex ecosystem, one TV drama series that has stretched its longevity to questionable limits is DSTV’s ‘Tinsel.’ Created by Yinka Ogun and having hosted ...

Ijakumo, with its promising start, sadly misses the mark. It's like a song that started off in tune, but ends up discordant

Uninspired Plots and Missed Opportunities: The Story of Ijakumo

Ijakumo is a movie that tries to tell a big, dramatic story. It’s about a pastor named Olajide who falls for Asabi, his church’s worship leader who also happens to be a stripper. It’s a tale of love, betrayal, and revenge. It sounds interesting, but it really isn’t. At its heart, Ijakumo was poised to ...

AMVCA 2023

AMVCA 2023 Nominations: List Of All Nominees

The AMVCA is here again. No, the event is on May 20th but it’s gathering dust from the nominees announced on Monday. There are two who are fighting over the snubs of some deserving acts such as Kunle Remi who misses out on Best Actor nod of his performance in “Anikulapo”. I thought he was ...

Gangs of Lagos

Gangs of Lagos: A Pulse-Pounding Action Thriller That Delivers on Every Level

Gangs of Lagos is a pulse-pounding action thriller that will leave you breathless. The movie has been touted as one of the most violent and gritty crime dramas in recent time, and it certainly lives up to the hype. From the first scene, you’re thrown into the heart of the criminal Isale Eko underworld, where ...

Oscar 2023: The Full List Of Winners (With Nominees)

Let’s be frank, no one reads intros. Everyone just scrolls down to the main thing. Heck, they don’t care about best anything that is not best picture, best director, acting categories, and some fancy category to make them seem rounder at a conversation table. Why should we waste our time curating three to four paragraphs ...

Shanty Town Review: It’s Ambitious, It’s Rugged, It’s Somehow

I was looking forward to Shanty Town dropping on Netflix. But when it dropped, it wasn’t the movie I expected. It was a miniseries. Again. We saw “Glamour Girls”; we saw “Blood Sisters”; we saw “Far From Home”, etc., in episodic forms. This is not always necessary. Maybe it carries some form of economic importance ...

What Is The Use Of “Judging Matters” Show?

I have watched “Judge Judy” on TV a couple of times; I enjoyed it. I have watched Africa Magic “Judging Matters” a couple of times; I don’t know what to make of it but enjoyment is not a word that comes within a metre of my mind. In fact, I am struggling not to use ...

Perhaps It’s Time For The Johnsons Sitcom To End

Nollywood comedy shows are a shot in the dark. Sometimes, they hit the target; most times, they fail. “The Johnson” hit the target and for the past ten years and with more than 270 episodes cutting across eleven seasons, it’s up there as the longest-running sitcom in West Africa. It kept me arrested on my ...
