- DirectorKingsley OgoroStarsNkem OwohMara AshtonFrancis Odega'Osuofia in London' offers a variation on an old story: a country bumpkin comes to town, where city slickers try -- and ultimately fail -- to take advantage of him and steal his money. Osuofia lives in a village in south-eastern Nigeria where he talks a lot and drinks a lot of palm wine. His main occupation is as a hunter, at which he is spectacularly unsuccessful. He is hounded by his creditors, and henpecked by his massive wife and five grown-up daughters. Then one day a lawyer's letter arrives to tell him that a long-forgotten brother has died in Britain, leaving him all his money. Osuofia has to go to London to claim his inheritance. This allows the director to have a lot of fun as Osuofia comes face to face with modern plumbing, a full English breakfast, a butler called Jeeves and a park full of pigeons, which finally arouse his hunter's instincts. Meanwhile the crooked lawyer and his glamorous accomplice Samantha (a flame-haired temptress with a disconcerting resemblance to the young Rebecca Brooks) are working to get him to sign away his inheritance. But the thieves fall out and Osuofia makes it back to Nigeria with his fortune intact -- but accompanied by the predatory Samantha, her eyes still firmly on his chequebook. All of which sets things up nicely for a sequel, as Samantha battles with the challenges of life in an African village, and the implacable hostility of the the first Mrs Osuofia.

Their meeting rekindles a flame of romance that eventually leaves them scalded, the effort of which reverberates to other aspect's of their lives.A well calculated movie with sparks of real emotions displayed, despite the overt simplicity of its story line. There is a major theme of Love and Lust and all the troubling complications that come with them.

Chief lives large, like there's no tomorrow, until the day there is no tomorrow--he dies suddenly and the 'bullion van' stops. What's in his will, and who gets all that money? Will Chief Daddy have the last laugh from beyond the grave?It is movies like Chief Daddy that encourage young men to aspire to be wealthy solely for the end of acquiring as many tasty women as they possibly can.
Yes, I do not like this movie, and apart from the fact that I am also a teacher and have studied humans in their most natural and undiluted form, and can see how people in general can easily become whatever they are or will be, this movie is simply disturbing!
Thankfully, it has a few lessons to teach, which hopefully are not clouded by the intoxicating shows of grandeur to misguided viewers.

She's heartbroken when she discovers the man she loves is buying it.It is difficult to believe TIFF screened this movie in 2017; it must have been out of charity and a huge dose of networking. The movie seriously is lacking in depth and originality.

While on a dinner date, Nonso proposes to Deirdre by accident and sets off a chain of events too powerful to stop. Deirdre's upper-crust British family are against the match, as are members of the Nigerian clan, but Deirdre's determination can't be contained, setting off another colourful, chaotic journey to everlasting love.I have witnessed a number of scathing reviews about this movie – about how it does not make much sense and bull. These make me wonder about the level of intelligence of our Nigerian movie watchers. What did you expect?! The Wedding Party (1) had no proper story, depth or compelling leads for a sequel, but one was made which turns out to have an actual story and a myriad of depth. So what’s really the issue?

If it were more original, I bet a number of nice concepts examined here would have sat in more nicely.

In this movie, Sun City is nothing but a tourist city, and Monica (Mercy Johnson) and Falz are nothing but pointless fillers.
Stereotypes from past world movies, and AY’s as well.
Are these enough to say that this 2017 movie is nothing but mind-numbing?

That is, like, long before any of the better movies of Tyler Perry came into existence in this genre.
Without much ado, we shall see to it that this movie is properly broken down with the hope that we are able to come up with some real good....
Read full review here: http://filmscriptic.com/desecration/ - DirectorOmoni OboliStarsToyin AbrahamHalimar AbubakarOlu AdedejiChuks (aka Terminator) is an ardent player with the ladies. He enjoys the attention of women, including girlfriends from the past. He believes that once a man has had a woman, he forever has access to her. When challenged by his friends to see if he can prove the universality of that theory with three ex-girlfriends from his school days within 21 days, he accepts it. Turning on his best charm he sets off to try and prove himself, but his quest brings him to three women, Ifeoma (Ify), Tomi and Ejiro, whose situations in life have changed drastically since school days. This challenge of their various new statuses makes his quest to win the bet more and more insurmountable as he tries to prove the immutability of the age-old law, OKAFOR'S Law.Prior to watching Okafor’s Law, an industry friend had confirmed to me that he had watched the movie. He also had an interesting opinion of it, as he messaged me his observation: “It’s a clichéd mess of other clichéd messes that Matthew McConoughey did in the early 2000s”. Turns out, after watching this excessively hyped movie, that he is not far from the truth. But, hey, aren’t romantic comedies all almost like the same? A lot of them also dabble into this same concept of a guy and three girls and his final choice amongst them. Oh, how I love Definitely, Maybe (2008).
Asides these, the major impression Okafor’s Law makes for me is that it lives off already existing plots, which is fine anyway, but it fails to establish its own identity, despite the obvious attempt in branding it Okafor’s Law, and this is due to lack of story depth, and in some areas, sense....
Read full review here: http://filmscriptic.com/okafors-law/ - DirectorChris Eneaji EnengStarsMoses ArmstrongChristopher BasseyTheresa EdemRight off the bat, Ayamma gives the impression of being promising, especially as its opening scene is done in the same vein of that of The Sound of Music (1965). However, in no time, it loses its reputation as anything worth the while, as it, almost immediately, also appears to imitate another of this movie’s concept: Mother Superior’s complaints of “how d’you solve a problem like Maria”.
It also becomes increasingly glaring that this filmmaker makes no plans to situate properly ideas that appear to have been adopted from a number of legends.
Ayamma tries so hard to be something great, yet fails to be anything straight. It is so all over the place.

A story about the 1st oil well drilled in Nigeria and how the impact has affected a small Nigerian Delta Village( Oloibiri) and the lives of those involved.There is a noticeable effort with a part of Nollywood to create better scripts for ultimately better movies. These days, you now get to perceive, in movies, genuine intellectual efforts: the implementation of cultural clash and shock, and a sort of cause-and-effect technique, as can be seen in Oloibiri movie.
Only, this is a Western filmmaker, and should do better, right?
A screenplay is a highly technical material. Generally, the more you try to advance its quality, the costlier the mistakes you make – the higher you climb, the harder you fall, eh?
Funny, if one asked this filmmaker, he might claim that the script was deliberated upon for over a year. That would be quite disheartening, as the loads of left-over errors prove he might have only been patching a terminally ill baby for far too long.
Read full review here: http://filmscriptic.com/oloibiri-movie/ - DirectorAniedi Awah NobaStarsAdunni AdeOmobola AkindeShaffy BelloSeated silently, in the movie chart of every cinema is this unsuspicious, and surprisingly brilliant movie, It’s Her Day. Unfortunately, it reigns at a time when other overtly raved movies—unbefitting too—exist. It is a considerably well-thought-out movie undeserving of the miserly attention it has ever received from the Nigerian media.
Had this movie a better budget: finishing, picture quality, sound, lighting, camera angling and scene transitioning, it could get lucky at landing a swell international distribution deal. It’s that insightful.
It’s Her Day is not Nollywood’s breakthrough movie (hell no); it’s got many flaws as well, but the movie brings with it great hopes that Nollywood is getting closer to where it’s meant to be in terms of analytical creativity, and in the world map of movies.

It makes use of loads of conflicts, and Nse Ikpe Etim does a good job creating tension with her character’s multiple emotional meltdowns.
The movie sets situations that generally lead to a comic relief. But do these situations sit well on a theme based storyboard? Are they progressive, and do they contribute to the general well-being of the plot? Do the characters resonate with the audience? Would the spoken words be appreciated beyond the borders of Nigeria and West Africa? Does the movie just waste our time in some places, and is it worth the waste? These are important issues worth looking into.

The spiritual guru arbitrator seems to be more on Colleen's side but luckily Terry has retained a lawyer to protect his interests. Unfortunately his lawyer Ben Steel has started dating his soon to be ex-wife.Every writer/director/producer desires to be a part of the making of a complex movie—not your regular kind of movie: the kind that has its audience pondering what’s going on till they later discover the answers; the kind that intentionally leaves loopholes that it later ties up; the kind that suggests that geniuses are on board, and some research had gone down in pre-production.
Yes, The Arbitration movie certainly answers to these claims, however, it is only successful at achieving the “complicated” status, which is a no-no in film.
Complex and Complicated are not the same in film-making, and cannot be used interchangeably. The truth about story-telling is this: the storyline must be kept simple. What should make it complex is the multi-dimensional nature of the characters, and not the story itself. There’s no such thing as a complex storyline, and this movie’s shortcomings major in this aspect.

Rebels kidnap an American oil executive and demand that his corporation end the destruction.Seeing that Black November appears cut out for a more international audience (many American characters), the director probably deemed it fit to include a fact-file at the movie’s introduction. The catch? A probably intended shocker: how 90% of Nigerians live on less than $2 a day; and how the continuous oil spills make Nigeria the most environmentally devastated land in the world (how factual are these, though). It’s a no-brainer that the audience would immediately assume that this movie is going to be about poverty and its cause(s) in Nigeria, and it sure kinda is.
One thing’s certain about Black November: it is generally thematically focused; utterly focused, even. However, when dealing with an international audience (especially American), focus and intention in one area alone is never enough....

What starts off as cordial soon goes sour as they attempt to outdo one another to be named "The CEO."This film-maker is known to be a twists master to many of his Nigerian viewers, because he has always somehow managed to turn a perfectly decent scenario into something exciting and tension-filled. This brilliance in story conception and planning might be good enough for Nigerians so far, however, I think it’s time to break the ice, so that the upcoming film-makers, who idolize this sole concept and do not realize that there’s more, do not make the kind of mistakes that will inhibit their chances at landing prestigious distribution deals internationally in future....

https://wp.me/p9i19g-O - DirectorBiyi BandeleStarsChiwetel EjioforThandiwe NewtonAnika Noni RoseSisters Olanna and Kainene return home to 1960s Nigeria, where they soon diverge on different paths. As civil war breaks out, political events loom larger than their differences as they join the fight to establish an independent republic.I tried my best to follow through with the major messages that could be got from this movie. The more I tried to follow through, the more disappointments I got. A number of themes can be identified in this movie apart from War and its Effects: Love, Familial Expectations, Friendship, Wealth and Business Opportunities, Ethnic Bias, Charity, Academia, Death, and so much more. The script appears to be ambitious in its evaluation of theme, yet not encompassing in such a way that the audience feels nothing experiencing them....

You suspect it at first, are surer as the movie carries on, and are completely convinced in the end. Otherwise, it hardly would be so precise.

They've hung the boots on robbing the rich to give to the poor and focus squarely on running their businesses. AYO ALESINLOYE, the charming leader of the pack, prepares to wed EFCD field operative, DERA, the love of his life. Naz prepares to be a father, thrilled that KEMI, his wife and Ayo's younger sister, is pregnant. Amaju and Remi, well - they remain inveterate men-about-town, enjoying wine, women and the good life. But while on a short vacation in Lagos, each of them are besieged by vicious gunmen, led by four FEMALE MASKED BIKERS. After a chaotic struggle with the armed assailants, the Merry Men are overcome, and Kemi, Naz's wife and Ayo's sister, is kidnapped. DAME MADUKA, the corrupt politician who the Merry Men exposed, contacts the four enraged friends to reveal that she's behind the attack. She promises to release Kemi if the four friends destroy all incriminating evidence to be used against her in a hearing. They have 72 hours, failing which, Kemi will be murdered. Deeply enraged and highly motivated, the Merry Men must return to old ways to overcome Dame Maduka and rescue Kemi. They rush back Abuja where Kemi's been taken to formulate a plan of rescue. But the barriers before the Merry Men are tougher than they ever encountered. The evidence against Dame Maduka is in the headquarters of the EFCD, a government agency that's impossible to breach. Naz, Kemi's husband, is so inflamed by his wife's abduction, he gradually loses touch of reality and proves a risk to the team. Worst, the four LADY BIKERS who led the attack on the Merry Men are not just uniquely-trained and highly-skilled in weapon use, combat and infiltration, they are led by the deadly ZARA AMINU, who can predict any move and strategy the Merry Men makes because years ago, she was one of them. Merry Men II continues the adventures of Ayo, Naz, Amaju and Remi on another fast-paced and high-tension mission. This time though, they may be way in over their head, egged on only by their love for and desperate determination to save Kemi.

And, of course, he doesn't: pretending to be a prophet, Dada scams a woman out of a television and demands that another take off her clothes in order to perform an exorcism. After being reprimanded by the police, Dada attempts to avoid work by stealing his uncle's money and giving it to some "businessmen" on the street. When he returns to collect his profit, he finds out that he has been tricked.
