These scenting times are from the Silverbird Cinemas at the Galleria, also known as the most unattractive and least subscribed cinema in Lagos, Nigeria. And yet, Isoken is still going on strong with three screening times a day, more than six weeks after it launched. Including an 8.20pm slot. For the new week that started... Read More

The Film Blog: We don’t like the fact that Tina Mba doesn’t get the credit she deserves

The Film Blog: Kunle Afolayan’s ‘Roti’ is an exercise in brilliance – but will Nigerians go to see it?

The casting of this movie is excellent. Everyone is perfect – Kunle Afolayan, Kate Henshaw, Kunle’s mum (who, we hear, is his mum in real life!), Fatiha Balogun, Fathia’s husband.
