Category: Netflix Movies

Netflix movies are about movies that are on Netflix whether or not they are originally made for Netflix or later purchased, whether or not they have had theatrical runs or not, as long as the movie can be found on Netflix at this moment, it is what we mean – Netflix Movies. This is all about it. Any other addition is a/an (un)shameless attempt at SEO (we will come to that later).

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Chief Daddy 2 is a monumental failure

Chief Daddy 2 Review: How Do You Carry A Man With A Broken Waist?

You remember how you start solving an equation in the exam hall out of faith. You don’t know the detail of the formula, you can’t remember the working, but you go on, all the same, believing you might be correct in shades and there is no how you will score zero after all these efforts ...

Ini Dima-Okojie stars in Namaste Wahala

Namaste Wahala Is Able To Fly Despite Its Zee-Worldly Storyline And Other Jerks

I expected “Namaste Wahala” to be a disaster even before I watched it. I have three reasons for this: One, it’s on Netflix and I have never watched anything romantic and good on Netflix; two, it’s an Indian production which meant it would be a Zeeworld movie; three, the hype on Twitter resembled what I ...

Netflix's Project power

Is Netflix’s Project Power A Good Movie?

I first saw “Project power” cover in a sponsored tweet from Netflix UK and Ireland’s Twitter account. It was a random Saturday after and I was scrolling and scowling down the timeline when I saw the question “What would you chose to become if you have the pill that gives you the power to become ...

Da 5 Bloods

Da 5 Bloods Is A Rugged Movie Nearly Spoiled By Its Overt Politics

“Da 5 Bloods” was released on Netflix on June 12. George Floyd was buried three days before then and the United States (and the world) are yet to come to terms with the rioting and protests that followed the death of the black man who died under the knee of a white police officer. I ...

All Day and a Night review

All Day And A Night Is A Tiresome Movie

When you watch a good movie, you would come out of it entertained, thoughtful, or feeling that you have learned something new, or a combination of two or three of these. When I watched “All Day and a Night”, I came out of it feeling tired. Oh yes, it is that tiring nearly every second ...

In case you have been living under a rock in Siberia with no sound or visual allowed, you still won’t be forgiven for not knowing about the TV wave of the moment – “Money Heist”. Season four of “Money Heist” is out and the whole world, or a large chunk of the world, is talking ...

Spenser Confidential

Spenser Confidential: A Big Promise, An Average Offering

With the Coronavirus becoming more than a cause for little concern in the West, its impact on the economy is obvious. Since large gatherings are seen as bedding for the virus, cinemas would be hard hit. Already, the 007 franchise has postponed the last appearance of Daniel Craig as James Bond in “No Time To ...
