Finally tomorrow, we get see the worlds most loved serial killer once again😎

Broooo😹 I'm fckin' hypedd gee

Dark October 3/10
I can see the empathy and pain the real life event caused but this movie was so subpar that I couldn't feel any empathy towards the actors. I watched it with disgust.
The actors were very bad, I don't know where they got them from.
The directing was very bad, the cinematography na 'just manage', the camera work is nothing to write home about. The only thing that held up in the film is the rl story and nostalgia🌚😏

Baddestguyp:
wtf Oscar winning ko

Maybe na African magic he wan talk😹

Baddestguyp:
You don't need pills to sleep...
Just watch this movie

The only reason people went to watch this on cinema again is because of the death of Chadwick. The movie was worse than i imagined frs 😔. A very disappointing mess of a movie. People were saying it was emotional, but I didn't get any emotion from this movie at all, just a bunch of actresses crying and shit.

Sniper101:
This movie is still not on Netflix yet.
WHY?

I really don't understand.

Marvel is a Disney property, it will never drop on Netflix

Ishilove:
Her performance was very okay, so why the idiotic nomination?

Clout ofc. The Razzles aren't getting the buzz anymore so they made a lot of stupid nominations this year

neztar:
Who is she? I dont know her

She's the actress of Firestarter, she was given a Razzies nomination; 12 years old girl

IngeniousLeez:
As in.... You know the drill.

A24 is like the HBO of movies. They rarely miss. Only A24 film I've been bummed about was The Green Knight. The rest has been masterclasses.

Ari Aster is surely one director you can't joke with his films. This doesn't really look like the horror fare Aster is used to with films like Midsommar and Hereditary. It's looking like Everything Everywhere All At Once but with darker themes.

If A24 wins Best Picture with EEAAO, I'd be super excited. It's a complete underdog story.

The shocking thing about Aster's movies is the complexity of his movies and people can still understand and enjoy it nonetheless, he's like the Christopher Nolan of Horror Movies- complex and still understandable and interesting

OhBritannia:
Well saying it's the one of the best series finale ever is a bit overstretched, however in recent times from 2022 to 2023, the finale of shantytown is one of the best World wide except if you just want to look down on it because it's from NIGERIA.
The twist in the last episode was mind blowing and epic and no one saw it coming.
Who thought that ini Edo's twin was alive and that she wasn't the real one?
That twist right there was world class, kudos to the writers.
The scene where all the women used a knife to stab that guy called scar was epic too.
Even some top Hollywood series has never thought of such finale, they will usually just kill off scar in a normal battle but that twist of having the Ladies stab him to death was an epic twist.
The fight scene in the last episode was decent too.

Forget that it's NIGERIA, the last episode of shantytown is one of the best series finale world wide in recent times and i stand by it 100%. 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
Even the way the series ended with Regina Daniels was epic too and it gives room for a proper season two and unanswered questions like who are the girls?
Who was the last person shown in the last scene? .

The series finale is Goated ✌️✌️✌️

All because of nyash. The fight sequences were rubbish

Ishilove:
The Banshees of Inisherin-

Wow... That movie deserves the Oscar nomination. Very disturbing a feem

It was ok - the hand cutting was ingenious buh it was boring all the way

IngeniousLeez:
I enjoyed Hereditary.
Bro, that Beau is Afraid is one A24 film I'm really hyped about this year. The trailer was bonkers 😃😂. I thought I was the only one hyped about the film. I posted the trailer two weeks ago, nobody respond.

Bro, 90% of A24 movies are so good that anytime they release anything, I'm in

MJBOLT:

Best Picture belongs to Everything Everywhere at once

And Banshees of Inisherin was boring asf

MJBOLT:

Best Picture belongs to Everything Everywhere at once

We shall see then😂
I enjoyed Everything everywhere all at once but in a list where Tar and Triangle of Sadness is.....hmm

abduleez1:
Oscars sha finding a way to creep in Top Gun just cos of Tom Cruise. 😂😂 E sure me die say if no be am, that film no go smell this thing.
Prolly similar favouritism I'm seeing with Tar but that one still holds up and can defend its quality.

Prolly tactics to garner more viewership and audience interest back at the awards nominating hugely popular movies and blockbuster monsters in Maverick and Way of The Water, as well as top directors and loved actors.
I sha hope, Maverick receives NADA!!

Anyways, I try this year small sha. At least I'd say I'm 70-80% caught up on the Awards movies. Or at least have the rest on watchlist or downloaded. 🤨😎 Last year worse for me... 😰😢

Triangle of Sadness will surely win Best Picture sha

abduleez1:
I'm still struggling to understand how The Batman was totally snubbed for Best Score. 😰😱 Like WTF did it miss that.


The Banshees of Inisherin over The Batman?? Bruh... Awards bodies are just trying their best to nominate the film for every category and up it's win as possible.

Like it still buggles me,it should be in best cinematography

Don't tell me you did not enjoy Top Gun Maverick

abduleez1:
Feed me more..... 😎👌💪

You know it's never going to win when The Way of Water is there 🌚

abduleez1:
Lol, it's not my favourite horror movie.

It's a very weird movie like Aflix said and I don't see it as everyone's cup of tea. It's definitely gonna turn off most especially people who ain't familiar with that sort of trope and theme.
It's one of the weirdest horror films I've ever watched. When I was done watching it sef I was like what the fvvk did I watch. 😃
But the writing, directing and the acting most especially as well as the story as it's very different sets it apart from the rest. It's also prolly the movie that brought Florence Pugh to the limelight. Since it's from A24, there's a huge possibility of being mindfvvked. 😁😀
The weirdness of the film and why it's a townhall different from Bulaba is why it's mostly in top recommendations.

I wouldn't really recommend to anyone who isn't deep into horror movies and arthouse flicks.

Did you enjoy Hereditary? I can't wait to be mindfvvked with Aster's next movie Beau is something 😂🌚

Aflix:
Midsommar 4:/10

A very weird movie that I think its primary aim is showing a culture of the Swedish people. It does this pretty well (don’t know if the depictions are accurate) without following it up with a compelling story to balance things. The movie gives a sense of something better to come, so you hang on, expectantly only to end up disappointed at the end.

Everything about this movie is weird and I wouldn’t recommend it. The sex scene is something I have never seen. I have not been able to phantom it till today.

I wouldn’t advise anyone to go watch.

That's your point of view tho,if you don't like hereditary, you won't enjoy this movie. But I absolutely enjoyed watching the movie, its idea of horror was enthralling and I was hooked from beginning to end. You won't enjoy it because you may not understand its concept and style. Weird is not bad but original
Midsommar is a 9/10 for me. Cant wait for the next Ari Aster movie Beau something

a4turitoroman:
The funny thing about the Last of us, Is that those of us who have played the part 1&2 game already know what will happen next in the film

I'm glad I haven't played the game tho so it will be fresh in our minds

Baddestguyp:
lmao...
I don't fall for those kinda bait ...

When they say a series is so good just cos critics hype it...
But then nobody can tell you what is special about it...
People just rate it because critics rate it


Same reason why I haven't watched The Wire...
I've not seen a single review telling me what makes it one of the best...

It is just the usual "critically acclaimed"... "Critically rated to be one of the best" bla bla bla

Bro you're definitely right, critics and rotten tomatoes made me watch some films I regret downloading. Nowadays I just go for audience scores on rotten tomatoes instead of critics

What!??

Samuell2019:
Now if you summarize any series or movie like you did above, I don't think there's a movie or series worth watching.

Exactly, very stupid analysis. I'm sure his fav series this year might be Velma since he doesn't understand what a series is.

WriterNig:
🎥 The Last Of Us S01E02 (2023) = 7.8/10 ✔️

How's this any different from the walking dead?

Omo don't compare o, I loved these episode, it's very different when it comes to story. If you've played the game before like I did, you're in for a treat

Shanty Town Review - 7/10

The writing was off, but the characters did an amazing job.
The ending sequences were bad and I didn't enjoy the fight scenes at all and the score at the background for the fight scenes was bad
What carried the movie is the nude scenes and the quality of the actors, actresses and cinematography.
For a Nollywood series, it's a nice series 🙂

.

safarigirl:
Thank you for the compliment, I really enjoy writing reviews and positive feedbacks give me a serotonin boost.

I'd rather not make comparisons, but this is one of the best Nollywood productions I've seen in the last few months. You won't be disappointed.

Yes, Nollywood has been releasing a lot recently, probably to welcome us to a New Year, just take your time and watch at your own pace.

Truth be told, some are watching it because of brezz and nyash

abduleez1:
Like I said, NFL Playoffs was a reason Sunday debut was lower.
TLOU proving its mettle.

HBO don see mega franchises per year between this and HOTD.

I've watched the first scene and the car scene almost fifteen times right now. I never even knew there were zombie fungus before

FBS:
Don't care if he reach 2 gazillion, not watching this one.

I'm tired of Marvel shit, the only stuff I'm looking forward to from marvel this year is secret invasion

oyaskii:
"The Menu" is an absolute scrumptious delight ! (pun intended ), give it a watch soonest.


Mannn.... Knowing poverty is the ultimate enemy, is why i am up each morning to grind

Likkkkr
The first minutes, you won't even have a faint idea of will go down, I didn't even know it was horror sef till that gun in mouth scene

Nairaland has been my home for years, and I have met a lot of interesting people from this website. Most people have even gotten married because of this God-given website
But there are some things Nairaland are lagging behind when it comes to communication.
What I would love for Nairaland to do this year is creating a way for someone to communicate directly to another user privately without having to go through email
What would you love to be improved or worked upon this year?

Flamemignon1:
You obviously don't know what you are saying, it's getting to 1.9B on an almost 500mil budget so please get your facts right

Moreover,you don't have to push one down to uplift another,James isn't known for his stories as they don't quite require critical thinking,his stories are somewhat simple for people to relate to, he's rather known for visuals,Nolan on the other hand is known for his stories and how much depth they possess , there's room for both to thrive in Hollywood

Like how will someone a story from Nolan to Cameron. Cameron makes stories that can be understood by almost everyone and those kind of movies make a lot of money.
Nolan makes critical thinking movies like Tenet and Inception and Memento, Cameron makes movies everyone can understand easily like Titanic, Avatar, Terminator and the rest
