Have you seen Diamond Ring, Dry leaves or Women’s Cot? If you haven’t, this thread is for you. Welcome to Old Hollywood, where story lines were gripping, dialogue was thoughtful and the acting, “American standard”.

We liked it because, even though it was an unadulterated mess, it was funny. It was very funny. And... Read More

The Kunle Afolayan we know stoped playing in 1901, and so we were very surprised by the low-key rollout of his movie, Omugwo, the first of three done in partnership with Africa Magic for 2017.
