The most annoying is spending about 35mins playing a sad tune and showing the same scene from different angles. Like wtf is the director smoking And to worsen the whole thing that same fvcked up tune will play until the end leading to part 2... That made me give up on them. Too dull and they lack creativity in all aspects. Or another one they will be showing lovers eating a meal for half an hour with no audible convo just another dumb soundtrack while they play love with the cheap wine and food... makes me just want to shoot somebody angry

Poor grammar usage.

Hardly scientific, hardly enlightening, hardly intriguing.

...And that soundtrack



Everyone in their movies says "how do you mean" instead of what do you mean.

LMAO grin

Sometime last week or so, I was in the sitting room playing soccer with my guys on PS3. One game ended and I had to hand over the Game Pad to the next guy, so I decided to use the time to go check up on my girl who was in the other room watching African Magic.

I got in, sat with her to see the movie for a bit. But...

Lo and Behold, it was a blind girl who was using a walk-stick to find her way around AN EVIL FOREST ...and she was actually searching for the Igwe's Staff of Office so that the Community would be saved from Doom; as the story goes.

Funny thing is...out of the six other normal girls who went into the Evil Forest in search of the Staff, it was the blind girl amongst the seven maidens who 'miraculously' found the Igwe's Staff grin

At a point I just shook my head and tried to get up to go out, but she held my hands and started laughing (she knows i have no love for Naija films and I usually see everything they try to act out as BS)


...that trash they acted with a Blind girl in an 'evil forest' is just ONE of the many reasons I don't like seeing a Naija movie

I recently started watching nollywood movies.
I have lamented about lots of thing I found disgusting there but I continued.
I must say that few of them are very good.
I actually went back to watch 2 again. They were so good.

I think director, script and actors paired helps a lot in making a wonderful movie.

Will continue. At least the one I can't stomach, I will skip.

What I hate most is the make up. Everybody wears wig with nasty looking nails. And the ladies are always exposing their boobs or wear children's clothes as adult's

You all talk trash about our movies.
Don't forget that Hollywood is over 300 years and Hollywood is not even up to 60years.
Have you even seen our recent movies? If yes, did you see any of those trash you stated.
Please for own good, stop watching movies on E-STAR TV.
FINALLY, STAY BLESSED

Strike back? I'm sure you're talking about Damian Scott and Stonebridge.
They are spies/ Intelligence agents, and if you are smart enough, you'd know that the Defence Intelligence(DI) doesn't send all their agents on mission around the world, there are particular ones deployed around the world.
If you actually truly watched Strike back, you'd know that Damian and Scott weren't the only agents involved in shooting, the series was just centred around them, and you also need to work on your English as much as your understanding of Series.

Seeing one of the producers or camera men (I dunno which) through a glass window in the house eating eba hungrily and it just didn't occur to them that they should reshoot or edit that part did it for me.

There is Chidi Mokeme, the actor, not to be confused with the director/actor/producer/writer Tchidi Chikere

Tyler Perry does the same thing, only him will write, produce, direct and act
Sorry I remembered now.
Not a fan of Nollywood, so I barely know there names.
