speedyboi:
First tell me your own definition of 'nigerian movie'...maybe we can start from there.

I just had to say it cos you claimed in one of your post that it is a nigerian movie but not a Nollywood movie. So the post is to draw your attention to your own statement and not to affirm my stance that 'full of a Red sun 'is a Nollywood movie. I already said I'm done with that topic. whether na kenyawood or chollywood....*none of my biz* the argument is infact silly.
But note that I already said you should gimme your own definition of 'nigerian'
I must admit that your posts on nl are always responsibly made up and worth replying

Lol....most times when I visit nl, its on my laptop. So I just continue to type and type without realising that I have gone a long way.

@the rest, I haven't watched them and I will not cos they are not Nollywood movies but hustler movies. Why? Cos they didn't premiere at the cinemas, so I can't regard them as a movie. If you check my former posts, you Will understand my point. I don't even spend my money on them.
Such movies are not included in any awards (aama etc) cos they are not recognized. So I hope you know the difference now

Speedyboi: ........... movie fails, you might not even get your complete money back talkless of profit. Film business is quite complicated.*ah! Sorry, I don turn to an advice giver instead of posting,sorry*

Speedyboi: Why?

sisi_kill: I don't believe in spoon feeding adults, if Speedyboi didn't have enough sense to do his research,why do I have to be burdened with that?

sisi_kill: So tell me again. . .How is Half of a Yellow Sun a Nollywood Movie...............I'll say this though. . .for someone who knows NOTHING you are pretty good at prolonging a discussion.

Nollywoodlove:
@ villageboi, I hope I didn't just hear my name sha? Well, lemme pretend I didn't hear ;

stillwater: As much as I pity them, I really can't bring myself to defend nollywood . You people in their defense, are really trying.

Nollywoodlove:
Are you an investor yourself?

Reasons:
1. Hollywood: cos I can't sit my @ss for complete two hours to watch a repackaged version of a movie I watched 2 weeks ago...and to even think the movies don't always make sense and very predictable, I must say. I can't imagine myself leaving the cinema and start questioning the main point I grabbed from the movie I just watched.
Among what pisses me off the most is when they start chasing one criminal(the lead character) and they keep bashing the cars on the road. Abegi, if that's how police bash people's car in the name of chasing criminal, no one will own a car again.
Another thing is when they want to fight the notorious guy(which we all know they will not succeed), they keep coming one after the other. I'm always like, can't they just rush the guy at once? Mtcheew. No matter how hard they try, Hollywood movies don't move me with their suspense anymore cos I can tell you how it will later turn out to be. Spartacus is the most ridiculous of the recent TV series, with too many blood splashing everywhere like humans have blood bank in their inner skin/ or are their organs made of blood? Lols(that's just among many other unrealisms the movie entails) . Titanic is an exception anyway, it was very realistic and less predictable.

Nollywood: lols, I can't sit my @ss for 2 hours or more to watch ridiculous productions with bad execution of great stories. But just as you've said, I just have to shine my eyes. Cos though I don't watch movies, I can't deny that I got to watch Figurine, Phone swap, mirror boy, ije:the journey and I watched last flight to abuja this week. I was impressed with the movies, so as time goes on, I might get to stick to the nollywood movies; cos I prefer their own stories(the good ones) to Hollywood.

Nollywoodlove:

Lol...na u sabi..

Yea...I like British movies, they are more realistic too but I don't like novel movies...they are always boring

Novel movies?. . .as in movies like Jane Eyre, Alice in Wonderland, The Count of Monte Cristo, Wuthering Heights, Pride and Prejudice, The Last of the Mohicans, Dracula etc etc?

Nollywoodlove:

Lol...na u sabi..

Nollywoodlove: Like I said earlier.....I don't watch movies. Whether na Nollystick ooo abi na hollyghost abi chollyiron ........
My name is just for patriotism

But I watched few novel movies like Romeo and Juliet, Harry potter and a few others ....bt they bored me big time! Especially Harry potter(which is dragged unnecessary; I stopped at part 2).
Just my opinion. I've not really seen any movie from any industry that wowed me yet anyway. I always notice errors, so I'd rather not watch 'em.

ijebabe:
Another one I am looking forward to is Lions of 76 directed by Izu Ojukwu. It is still being shot so I don't know when it releases but I'm so looking forward to it. The movie website has no info besides "coming soon" and the pics attached.
The movie is set around the 1976 Nigerian coup, and it features Ramsey Nouah, Chidi Mokeme, and Rita Dominic. Ramsey Nouah and Chidi Mokeme both play army officers in the movie.

afam4eva: Since it was directed by Izu Ojukwu, i have to watch it. He's the best in the business.

That one be sey you go wait tire as you no dey go Cinema watch film as e nor go dey online or released on DVD for a long time

I no yab u, na wetin u talk o

WOW! Very impressive trailer.

Costuming on point, location & sceneries looked like it was really in the 70's, the sombre background sound was good too

Even the vehicles and interior decor of the offices, houses, jail etc were reminiscent of the period in which the film was set.

. . .and that scene were soldiers were chasing Ramsey Noah and he was meandering his way through the crowd in the carnival ground was very well done. Good use of extras there.

Still, I can't help but feel the trailer gave too much away. Looking forward to the movie eagerly sha

ijebabe: SMH

Genevieve Nnaji's small part in the big screen adaptation of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s novel “Half of a Yellow Sun” has been cut out from the finished film. It wasn't just Genevieve's scenes that were cut from the movie, a few other characters from the book didn't appear in the movie. Sources in the know say the producers may have cut Genevieve from the movie because her character wasn't important to the story and was dragging the storyline unnecessarily. Other characters didn't appear because there was not much time to tell everyone's story. Genny may appear in a scene or two but it will be very insignificant. Genevieve played the role of Ms Adebayo, a professor who develops a flirtatious relationship with her colleague Mr Odenigbo, played by Chiwetel Ejiofor.

Genevieve might not even know she's been cut from the movie.

I can't believe that Biyi Bandele will allow this. How can the role be unimportant, unless the script writer did a bad job. I hope this is one big joke!
