wow. You have a long way to go. I recommended the books so you'll truly grasp the extent of power the jedi and sith have. I never truly grasp it till I read the books.

Hope you know there are some cartoon series that go with the star wars franchise. You should also try and watch them.

His Joker portrayal gave me chills. Remember the iconic quote "Why so serious?" Damn! R.I.P. Heath, we miss you.

J2381:
try reading one of the books, you'll understand better.

I'm a star wars fan. But heck, they lost it all after Revenge Of The Sith.

J2381:
acted? Don't understand what you mean.

J2381:
there again, perception defers.

To me, I don't see her as the antagonist in the movie, her modafucking sisters were the antagonist and they lived, while she died. There advice made her divorce him. Even when she brought the 10 mill dollar cheque, you heard what her jealous sister told her: "cash the cheque before the bastard change his mind".

STEM is a dick, just like koice. But Jack is in a class of his own. Nollywood directors believe in happy endings so much. But still, not all Nollywood movies have happy ending.

Movie was terrible. I love Taraji, but she need better movies.

Tyler Perry movies tend to be reductive and moronic. Madea is one of the only movies I've noped out so hard I couldn't finish the movie. A feat also matched by Acrimony. I don't think I'm particularly unique in this viewpoint, but I have no plans to watch a Tyler Perry film ever again.

That said, I don't mind him as an actor in films that aren't his. He was solid in Gone Girl, and in Star Trek. He's decent enough actor, but a very uncreative script-writer.

J2381:
happy ending you say? I honestly don't believe the movie ended on a happy note. She died for crying out loud. If they later reconciled and got married, then can say it ended on a happy note, not the way it ended. Nope. bearing the scars of being shot in the belly and axed on the leg by your ex can't be said to be something that ended on a happy note.

as for Taraji gaining access into the yatch, well, I believe there's bound to be security breach regarding the crew on board. Remember it was the same yatch the talked about buying. So I believe she should know her way around it. Not that they actually hired professionals as private security guards though.

i've not seen this movie, so I really can't say anything about it.

sorry about this.

There is no role in football called disturbing

Its a figment of Hazard fans imagination
An attacker than cannot score is now called a disturbing midfielder

Who was disturbing for Madrid last 3 seasons when they won the CL

France won the world cup, who was the disturbance for them

raumdeuter:
Disturb defence? What kind of rubbish is that? In football the aim is to score, but when its Hzard thats when we have disturb defence

A Knight's Tale

I had great fun watching this medieval knight-themed movie last night. Great swashbuckling fun. Heath Ledger was fantastic, and so was the rest of the cast, and also, solid action. Every movie that starts off with a Queen song is all right by me. [We will/ we will/ rock you!] Sad that Heath has passed. Put a bit of a dampener afterwards. What a talented actor he was. 8/10

J2381:
can you compare the acting in acrimony to that of any nollywood movie? Beside, October 1st isn't really a bad movie.

Sometimes, I wonder why many of you believe your personal opinions about movies are absolute facts, when it's just what it is, your personal opinion.

Lawd!

The last thing I'll do is go to a cinema for the sole purpose of watching a Nigerian movie. I may as well give the money away to an homeless person.

Mehn, the shook me no be small! I was shocked!

J2381:
they also have action movies, therefore John Wick is Nollywood esque.

Did I also forget Nollywood also have horror genre? Have you seen Witch Doctor Of The Living Dead?

KoiceReloaded:
Lmao!

Nollywood also has 'action' genre, thus, Terminator 2 is Nollywood-esque.

KoiceReloaded:
Belonging to same genre doesn't often infer that movies or shows can be liken with one another. Often times, the primary themes/motifs/contents/subjects are completely different. Lemme ask you, do orange, grape, lime and lemon look/taste the same?

I've nothing more to add. I don't have the energy to argue right now.

KoiceReloaded:
Did I hear you right? Did you just compare Gone Girl with frigging Acrimony?? WTF dude?! Jesus. H. Christ!

KoiceReloaded:
It's an action telenovela. That's a thing.

KoiceReloaded:
Don't even compare the two, they're worlds apart.

Scofield doesn't have plot armor. In prison, he kept T-Bag and the rest of gen-pop sexual predators at bay, by currying protection from a mafioso. His intelligence never stopped him from making plot defining mistakes. He got caught multiple times, remember. His mistakes are relatable because it's the sort of mistake an average person would make in similar situations in real life, after all, no living being is infallible.


... unless, it's the professor, of course. Modaf**ka is ensconced in a 13 foot thick titanium plot armor. The f**ker is so untouchable, that no matter how him, Tokyo and friends manage to f**k things up, he always seem to find his feet, whilst conveniently turning the unfavorable situation into an advantage. Gimme a break.

KoiceReloaded:
Like I often say, if it quacks like a duck and walk like a duck, it's a frigging duck. The show has all the attributes of a typical telenovela.

- Spanish language. Check
- Romance. Check
- Melodrama. Check
- Plot sensationalism. Check

Contrary to popular opinion, I deem the professor the dumbest of the lot. In a real life situation, he's history. And to think some people were even comparing him to peak Michael Schofield of Prison Break fame? Truly mind boggling.

You no like am but you reach season 2?


The series is good abeg. The overdramatic ploy is the only letdown.

KoiceReloaded:


I'm laughing so hard at this. I feel your pain, Beorn. I've been there. I ranted, I cussed. Folks coming online to hype the show must have been watching the back of your TV/laptop/phone... whatever, cuz, that melodramatic fiasco is terribly mediocre. Suffice to say, season 3 will be beyond ridiculous.

raumdeuter:
How far, Shey you don watch this Jack Ryan on Amazon? Shey the thing sweet or make I no waste my time

KoiceReloaded:
Okay let's talk about the premise of the show: The supposedly "brilliant plan" is basically non-existent. The Professor has to run frantically around in every single episode to fix things, and all of it only works out because of pure luck, insane coincidence, and most of all, his infinite fuel of plot magic.

I totally get that TV shows don't have to be realistic in a real life sense, but c'mon. I know that some plot magic is always involved, even in good shows, but it's all about the amount of it and the way it's executed. And this is where Money Heist exposes itself as a low quality production in terms of writing.


Okay, I'm done venting. Venting is good for the soul.

More on Money Heist...

Why was Tokyo chosen as the main character and narrator of the story over the more stable characters? She was impulsive and a rebel, made a lot of bad decisions, and overall her story revolved around Rio. I couldn't root or connect with her at all. She had absolutely nothing to offer the crew, whilst everyone else had certain skills or traits that were key to their success.

So my final theory is she's just there to create melodrama. Without the melodrama, the show would have been dull, and hence, people wouldn't have hooed and haaed, and call the show best show they've ever seen.

Nigga please.

10 days hostage situation? Toyko, Rio and Denver started their nonsense on the first day. What's their excuse? You can make excuses for them all you want, but the truth is Toyko, Denver and Rio were emotional landmines: troubled, immature and lost. And yet the supposedly brilliant criminal mastermind known as the professor hired them for the heist anyway. If I don't know any better I would say he deliberately wanted them to f**k the heist up. The only characters I don't outrightly despise were Nairobi and Berlin. They were the mature ones.
