lanaVello1:KoiceReloaded, help out with the link. |
mekaprime:When someone insinuated yesterday that Searching was so boring he deleted it WITHIN 10 mins, it reinforced my earlier submission that many Nigerians cannot recognize an intelligent movie. I can bet my left testicle that if Upgrade had no action/fight scenes, some people would've rated it 2/10. ![]() |
newjosboy:Bro, I watched that movie mid last year, it's not possible for me to remember these two findings unless I watched the movie again, and frankly, I've many TV series to catch up on, for me to go re-watch the movie. Sorry, I can't be of help. I don delete the movie sef. ![]() |
JeromeBlack:I blame them and the FG because they're the biggest culprits. Who brought the Holocaust movies to our screen if not for Hollywood? So what excuses do we have? Are our movies even intelligent? The average Nigerian movie (except for the new ones) takes few weeks or even a month to produce, while scripting alone in Hollywood takes several months. In Dangal, the director read about the story, interviewed the family to get insight of the movie he's about to produce, then went on a diet for months to assume the role of the man whose family were being talked about. Spielberg took several months gathering information about the Holocaust story, reading the book, interviewing the man that told the story, getting the right script about the movie. He famously sent back one of the script writers when he found her script to be too short to infuse all the details he needed. He extended the "ghetto liquidation scene" because he had read the book and wanted that scene to convey the message of pain. This shows a man that's interested in story. How many of our directors can be this bothered about any story on slavery? Do they even read books on slave trades? Are there even books on slave trades from a Nigerian POV about what happened over here? The excuse of sponsorship is not strong enough. Genevieve Nnaji's latest Braveheart movie was not produced with her own money alone, she got other sponsors who invested in the movie. A top director like Kunle Afoloyan with connections to influential men in power can get sponsors if he's interested in such movies. Or maybe, just maybe, if they can write a good script worthy of adaptation and pitch it to these Hollywood companies, one of them may sponsor them. They don't need my meager cash to produce good movies. That's not an excuse. |

JeromeBlack:We both agreed that whites pioneered slave trade and caused extreme pains on us with it. I'm not arguing that. I'm not also arguing that the whites haven't done enough on the FULL details of our harrowing experience in that era. But what are we doing about it as Africans? What's stopping us from saying our side of the story? If the whites won't tell the full gory stories, why are we mum about it? These are the important questions to ask. Why weren't the FG trying to involve scholars and historians to interview people that survived the slave trades, the various families affected who lost their loved ones? The FG are busy looting our wealth to care about these things. Those bastards are more interested in taking our money abroad to bother. We're not helping matters. The whites will never tell the full story and the dumb Africans are too docile to act. Hotel Rwanda was a Hollywood production telling an African story about the Rwanda genocide. How many African-produced films have talked more on the genocide? Therein lies the problem. In Rwanda, the Tutsis genocide by the Hutus are being taught in schools despite the painful experience behind it, but here in Naija, History which has been massively edited by the whites was removed entirely. Why are we this useless? The whites are to be blamed but the blacks are aiding them cover up their atrocities. |
JeromeBlack:LOL. Our ratings will differ, you will never agree that it's a better movie than Infinity War, but I can assure you that you won't rate the movie anything less than 8. |
JeromeBlack:Bro, when I tell people that if there's ever a second coming, I still want to be black, but don't ever want to be born anywhere near Africa especially Nigeria, the emboldened is exactly why I do say it. The emboldened questions left me laughing because once again you're blaming the whites only and ignoring our dumb leaders. Read the link below, it exposes how useless, pathetic, backward and myopic our leaders are. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/03/history-ends-nigeria/ While the whites embraces the past and try to learn from it where necessary, in our case, our fellow blacks REMOVED History from our curriculum. The whites had absolutely nothing to do with why we don't learn or write History in our institutions. Your fellow blacks caused it. But here you go again blaming them. How did the whites stop us from learning or teaching History? Was a white man our president when we banned History subject in Nigeria? Our leaders scared of the atrocities and destruction of their past activities banned History so the next generations will not learn the truth. This is the 20th century and we're independent, what's stopping us from teaching slave topics in our school even though they are foreign curriculum? The excuse that we're using foreign curriculum doesn't hold water. We are just too foolish to realize histories are meant to be retold, preserved and passed down from generation to generation. Oyibos tell their stories, maybe hide the devilish ones, but we destroy ours and promulgate laws to remove any vestige of our past. Just like the slave masters wouldn't let go of their slaves without a fight, the whites may never tell the full stories, but it's up to the slaves to fight for their freedom, it's up to us the Africans to make it mandatory that our stories are published and brought to the screens for generations to learn of the atrocities of the whites. It's up to us to make it a part of History curriculum. The whites won't do that for u. The whites are pioneers of slavery, but they have tried at least to some good extent to tell the stories of our sufferings in over 20 movies. What have we done as Africans to show the evil the slave trade wrecked on us? By producing IQ-depeleting movies Like Blackberry Babes part 1 to 6. The whites owes us nothing when it comes to telling our stories, if we're too unperturbed to tell it, then let's shut the hell up and continue living in stupidity. I |

bidemz:It's not a trilogy and it's definitely not necessary to see them in a particular order. |
MJBOLT:No, he doesn't. They are not interlinked, they only share same actor and actor's name, but different plot. It's not a franchise. |
mekaprime:Cam fire!! I don't watch Cam movies. The clean version is out. Do you want the link in 480p or 720p format? |
Searching 9/10. I never thought there would be any movie THIS YEAR I'd rate above the 8.5 I gave to Avengers: Infinity War till I watched Searching last night. This movie along with Upgrade shows low budget movies still got it. Very simple but yet educative, suspense-filled, with enough shocks and twists along the fun ride. My world. Nah, I rate this movie as my best of 2018 so far. The concept is refreshing and new, the directing and storyline is top notch. This movie was close to perfection. I'm yet to find a single plot hole!! The guy that recommended this movie yesterday, you're the man of the week. Salute!! |
bidemz:Go ahead. It's worth every MB of yours. |
JeromeBlack:There have been many movies and documentaries that touched on the black slavery and what our forefathers/blacks passed through. For example, 12 Years a Slave, Selma, Amistad, 500 Years Later (a documentary), The Birth of a Nation (both that of 1915 and 2016), Rosewood (I cried as a kid when I watched the movie), Roots (mini-series), Sankofa, Killer of Sheep, etc. So many of them. We have movies on racism like Malcom X. Movies on apartheid like Sarafina and Long Walk to Freedom. But all these movies are Hollywood production, they may not be as much as Holocaust movies, or as detailed as them, but they're out there. Now the big question is, what are Africans doing to tell their stories? Nobody can tell it better than us. We're the ones that suffered yet foreigners are the one telling our stories for us. Do we even keep records of those pasts? How many novels have you heard of about slave trade survivors? Google Holocaust survivors stories and see how the survivors tell their stories in both paper and digital publication, and how the whites penned them down and brought them to the cinemas. The Amistad movie about black slavery was directed by Spielberg, a white man, who also directed Schindler's List, a Holocaust movie. Instead our African movie directors, especially Nollywood and Ghollywood, are focused on romance and voodoo movies that adds no intelligence to us. What are our movie directors doing to bring the harrowing and grotesque suffering of the slaves survivors to our TVs? We need to stop blaming the whites for everything, especially things we'd do ourselves. If they're telling the Holocaust stories more, then we do the same for slave trades. They're likely to be biased in telling slave tales, but at least they have tried to tell them. What have we the victims done to shed light on our travails? Instead I'm here watching Wedding Party, Kiss Me Quick, Osuofia in London and the rest of the Nollywood grade A nonsense movies. We're part of the blame, if not all of it. |
Ishilove:I misunderstood you. I thought you meant yours not another woman's. |
JeromeBlack:Explain. |
JeromeBlack:I swear down. Only Crews made me laugh because of his funny face not because he did anything funny. |
Viking007:It's a historical DRAMA movie. A genre a lot of people find boring. So, don't use my rating to judge, keep an open mind so that if you don't like it, you won't be disappointed. But for me, the movie was interesting. At the very least, a 7.5/10. |
Ishilove:If your man looks at your ass twice, it'll be disrespectful? |
TheKingIsHere:There's no special skill to it, I guess you didn't separate it enough. Just add more spaces, that'd be enough to help you escape Antispambot. |
TheKingIsHere:I've watched Cam movies just 5 times in my entire life, thrice during the DVD era, and twice when I was newly into movies downloads and hadn't quite grasp the knowledge of TS, Cam & CamRip being all dubbed versions. And 4 out of the 5 times, the emboldened in your post happened. Very annoying, made me almost quit the movie I was watching. |
TheKingIsHere:LMAO. I didn't even bother to click the link. I don't see any sense in uploading Cam movies. |

krattoss:If they add all the stories about them, the film will be up to 24hrs. They needed to focus on some life history of the group. They can't infuse every detail. |
