I just finished watching "Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief" again.
The movie should have been called Greek Mythology for Dummies.

Dawn of the Dead (1978)
Zombie Flesh Eaters (1979)

@Tcrack
I agree with you. In almost every foreign movie, arabs are usually portrayed as terrorists and suicide bombers.

@oníjògbòn
Its a Nigerian movie alright. And thats actually a toy helicopter.

This topic is in a way similar to this one: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-406160.0.html

@MzDarkSkin
Jeez!! Take it easy.

FL Gators:
I sincerely hope mentioning this in my resume will get me into MIT

@scala101
Ikenna?? Now you want to bring tribe into the matter because you are promoting some wack Nigerian movies.

I have nothing against you scala101. Its just that some of these Nigerian movies have failed to impress me. And what assurance are you giving me that these ones will be any better.

_{I no fight you scala101}

Nigeria is a country with a lot of messed up issues and the solution must start from within ourselves.

The number of "Avatar" topics in the TV/ Movies section is just too much.

Everyday someone post a topic about "Avatar".

@alias64
Which general trend? How about the depiction of "Colombians" and "Cubans" as drug warlords and criminals in foreign movies? Will you say because of that everybody in Colombia or Cuba is a criminal or drug pusher?

HUNTING LMAO

Just because Nigeria was mentioned in "Avatar" everybody is going berserk. The way it was done wasn't meant to insult Nigeria just like how "District 9" did. IMO, I don't even find the statement insulting at all.

With all these flaws, how can Nigerian movies compete in any film festival?
Will Nigerian movies ever get nominated for an Oscar award? "Black and White in Colour (1976)" - Ivory Coast and "Tsotsi (2005)"- South Africa are the two African films that has won an Oscar.

@jayjay4u
"Tears of the Sun" was a movie based on Nigeria's civil war. So, obviously Nigeria should be mentioned. Although the movie was never shot in Nigeria and no Nigerian actor was used.

What do you think will happen if the United States is disrespected in movies from other countries?
Why is it that in disaster movies (2012, Knowing, etc), the destruction usually starts from the United States?

- Saint Obi actually puts grenades and blows up his vehicle and in the same film tells the veiwers that he sacrificed HIS ONLY VEHICLE to meet our expectation. Eeyah!!!!!

You wicked O!!!

skymax:
Bro, you aint seen nothing yet, all these 3g/3.5 providers are rip offs. not much difference from gprs/edge

All these ISPs in Nigeria are pure money suckers and rip offs.
I don't think the 3G or 3.5G technology is fully deployed.

@arkinses
Don't mind those movie critics. They are ready to give a wack and boring movie 99%.

@justkunmi
Guy Ritchie had no hand in the movie. The director was just trying to emulate him.

So, it was Paul McGuigan that directed that wack film "Push".

When Nigerians were depicted as savages and cannibals in District 9, did it make the front page of Nairaland?

Nigeria was not the only country mentioned. Venezuela was mentioned as well.

You can't compare the way Nigeria was referenced in "Avatar" to "District 9". The reference of Nigeria in District 9 was just disrespectful. Nigerians were pictured as savages and cannibals in "District 9".

@spikedcylinder
Yeah! Heath Ledger won Best Supporting Actor as The Joker for "The Dark Knight". "The Dark Knight" also won Best Sound Editing at last year's Oscars.

Check out the new "Iron Man 2" trailer

@spikyn
What I was trying to say is that, if movie goers were given opportunity to vote from the movies already nominated for Best Picture or any other category, would "The Hurt Locker" still win 6 awards?
I guess the question has already been answered.

spikyn:
If it was up to 'movie watchers' et al you'd have had to pick Transformers 2 as well. GOD ALMIGHTY FORBID VERY BAD THING!

Transformers 2 was not even nominated for Best Picture. It was nominated in some technical awards but did not win. _{Thank you Jesus.}

spikedcylinder:
Looks like if you haven't done stuff in 3D these days, you are not worth your salt.

@spikedcylinder
Is this statement a typographical error?

dominique:
there's this old naija movie that came out when i was around six or seven, witch doctor of the living dead. i remember i had sleepless nights for days!!!

Na him dem dey call "Willy Willy" . It scared me as a kid as well but now, its hilarious.

@arkinses
"The Hills Have Eyes (2006)" and "Wrong Turn (2003)" are almost similar.

I can't wait to see "Clash Of The Titans (2010)" when it comes out in April. I heard its going to be 3 hours long and in stereoscopic 3-D.

Talk shows and reality shows are two different things
Talk shows base their topics on real life issues but they can't be considered as reality shows. While the reality shows presents purportedly unscripted dramatic or humorous situations, documents actual events, and usually features ordinary people instead of professional actors.
I prefer talk shows because most of these reality shows are totally pointless. _{Example: Keeping up with the Kardashians}

@mex004 & THE AMAKA
Stop fighting and give yourselves a big hug _{or kiss if necessary}

More reviews for "Lucky Number Slevin", please.

_{Maybe the next review will be "The Hurt Locker"}
