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

Tina Mba has been in two recent hit Nollywood movies, Isoken and Okafor’s Law. And in both of them she really outshone almost everyone else, even when she wasn’t lead. There is something about the energy she brings into her roles – always warm, always engaging. And we particularly love the way she integrates Nigerian... Read More

The Film Blog Thread: “Diamond Ring, an edge-of-the-seat winner” | A trip down memory lane to the Nollywood that made actual magic

Have you seen Diamond Ring, Dry leaves or Women’s Cot? If you haven’t, this thread is for you.

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. It’s a melting pot of depth and soul. And we are so grateful for their talent. Even the son, brings in talent far and above... Read More

The Film Blog: We are totally loving the trailer for “My Wife & I” – and can’t wait to see Rachel Oniga

We’ve talked about this before. The images, the art, everything is on point. The Inkblot guy’s take themselves very seriously (some will say for its chief executive, Chinaza Onuzo, too seriously) so we are not surprised. This trailer was released yesterday. With lead stars Ramsey Nouah and Omoni Oboli, it also features Jemima Osunde, Seyi Law,... Read More

The Film Blog: We won’t take credit for the ’10 days in Sun City’ blitz

The Film Blog: Alakada Reloaded is a convoluted, senseless, foolish mess – but we absolutely loved it

There was no story, no plot, the characters were confused, threads were left lying on the floor, everyone on the production team should be lined up at the Bar Beach, and shot in the full glare of the entire movie-watching public. We are not even kidding. And we are not even talking about abominable sound;... Read More

The Film Blog: Why we must all join hands to reject and condemn Mike Ezuruonye’s ‘Brother Jekwu’

Mike Ezuruonye’s movie ‘Brother Jekwu’ is bad.   Look, we know there are those of you so traumatised by Nigeria’s utter lack of standards that you believe saying something is bad is not ‘constructive’.   We know there are those who believe these things should be said with ‘nice words’’. They miss the point.  ... Read More
