Ooh, that's bad then. I really didn't consider Lionheart a contender though when all it's Academy jamboree was being spread. I rated King of Boys ahead of it. It was far superior. Probably didn't get much promotion as Lionheart did.

Yea, if we were Spanish or Portuguese or even French it would have been favoured.

Exactly my point..never really caught up with the buzz of the movie i was just hoping it will get a fair hearing since it was considered.

Re: King of Boys..Kemi Adetiba had the right idea, Cast and Props but the character development and plot delivery was all over the place. Sola Sobowale's performance was the shining light and yeah was a better movie slightly than Lion Heart...but Nollywood is not there yet.

abduleez1:
How do you know they disqualified Lionheart. Have The Academy released the nomination list?

Well I think I heard the criteria for that category had to have it's language mostly FOREIGN (not much English) for it to be considered.

it's been reported by various media outlet that they have disqualified it, it didn't even get to the nomination stage as the movies to be considered for nomination are to be screened by the panel from today.

Well they did change the category from "best foreign film" to best international feature film to accommodate movie industries outside of the predominant ones. So saying the movie should be in a "foreign language" will put Nigerian movies out of it entirely because English is our primary language and also other smaller movie industries whose primary language is English... I am very sure the narrative would have been different if our primary language was Spanish orPortuguese

Bad boys forever trailer so fúckin lit
Will smith and martin lawerance baddest combo

Re: Bad Boys forever...1 washed up actor and the other one well on its way to been washed up combining to do a movie that should have been giving a rest....it will shock me if this movies comes out good.

So The Academy went ahead to disqualify Lion heart because "it was not culturally appropriate enough and it was in English" really? After changing the category from "Best foreign film to Best international feature film" to accommodate more movies outside of America, Latin America and Europe. So with English been our official and primary language these lots wanted the entire movie to be in Igbo...This is why i have never rated the oscars since for 2 years now..what a sham.

KoiceReloaded:
Me too, but apparently, a lot of viewers aren't fans of Netflix style season dump.

Am i the only one who thinks Appletv+ initial line up are questionable..like i don't even know who their target audience are...why not just stick with mobile phone and music streaming business and with a company already up to a trillion dollars in earnings, was a Video on demand/ Streaming business necessary?

Finally got on the "Train to Busan" and just wow...these Koreans sure do know thier craft...The end got me like solid 8/10 tho.

KoiceReloaded:
The Witcher trailer is fire! I'm hyped AF. December can't come soon enough.

This gladdened my heart tbh...Ambitious project but i am certain it will deliver.

henrydadon:
Apple TV have entered the chat


First two episodes dropped

This show ain't going anywhere... the plot is somehow and can't be sustained. If Appletv+ takes L with this and their other initial line up they should just forget making it in an already keenly contested streaming market.

KoiceReloaded:
Released yesterday morning.

I just saw it today and i can't wait to dive in...Season 1 was pretty solid i must confess.

Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan Season 2 out...we eating good this weekend.

Stonecoldstare1:
Name a film that you either shut off or you walked out of the cinema


Mine was Jupiter ascending, once I saw Tatum's ears... I zoomed off

Jupiter ascending up there as one of the worse movie ever created...a complete disaster but it still doesn't hold a candle to "precious cargo (2016)"...was actually shedding tears for this.

El Camino: A breaking bad movie put me to a sound sleep within the first hour...hope to have the will to continue sometime..which begs the question was this story really needed?

Reality11:
Please recommend some comedy series if you have. Series that can compete with these

Friends
Bing bang theory
Modern family...

Scrubs and Two and half men.

Progenix:
Lol, I purely gave it 7 cos of the performance from Anne Hathaway and maybe Rebel Wilson. The rest were just basic comedy. It's the predictable generic comedy movie we get these days. I would originally give it a 6 but that performance as stated above.

Of course RT is all but bullshit these days. That movie is definitely not worth the rating on RT. It's not that bad. It's watchable and not the terrible tag you are giving it. Well, it's each to his own opinion.

The IMDB is 5.4 or so which is swinging from medicore to bad to say the least, the plot was in the gutters and it was even far from generic...the performance from both leads was medicore too especially Rebel wilson...not a movie i will recommend to anyone.

mekaprime2:
I wish they left the ending unexplained, thus, leaving the viewers to choose for themselves a suitable explanation.

Exactly That End completely threw it out of the "mind bend" genre, and it was more of a thriller, good flick tho.

mekaprime:
Lolz, I wouldn't call it confusing. Thrillers are not meant to be tagged with the word "confusing" . The right word should be Cognitive stimulating movie . If you call it confusing, i wonder what you'd call Shutter island or Triangle . If you fancy the aforementioned movies, there definitely nothing to like in this flick, it not something you watch half way, otherwise the whole essence is lost.

True...Pretty straight forward imo, and the end pretty cleared everything up .

Progenix:
The Hustle ...... 7/10
Good comedy drama and has lots of laugh.



Inception ....... 7.5/10
After having this months in my phone decided to take a leap of faith in this Nolanverse.

Man this is a mind fuckery of a movie. Enjoyable action and Fantasy. Probably, Annihilation still holds it's crown as the most fvcked up fvcking fvck mind bending movie I've ever watched.

The Hustle 7/10?? That movie was beyond terrible..it was like 14% on RT..lacked any sort of direction or purpose despite having a fairly strong lead.

R2bees:
THE END OF THE FCCKKING WORLD... S1 EP 1

Season 2 out next month.

Logic007:
Terminator Dark Fate loading........

If this flops, they should dead this franchise once and for all although the trailer looks good.

Fractured (2019) wooooow....8/10.

KoiceReloaded:
Will Smith's Gemini Man bombed. It lost $75 million (and counting) at the box office.

Color me shocked.

Will smith is done out here if he doesn't switch up roles...Bad Boys for life another Box office bomb ticking.

We're barely 3 months away from bidding this decade goodbye. This decade has been a fascinating period for filmmakers. Emergent talents caught a break, veteran filmmakers rediscovered their X-factor, while some got chewed up and spat out by the unforgiving movie machine. From the old to the new, who amongst the top filmmakers impressed you the most this decade (2010-2019)? My top 6 are;


- Christopher Nolan (Inception, The Dark Knight Rises, Interstellar, Dunkirk)
- S. Craig Zahler (Bone Tomahawk, Brawl In Cell Block 99, Dragged Across Concrete).
- The Russo Brothers (Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame).
- David Fincher (The Social Network, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, Gone Girl).
- Denis Villeneuve (Incendies, Prisoners, Enemy, Sicario, Arrival, Blade Runner 2049).
- Quentin Tarantino (Django Unchained, The Hateful Eight, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood ).

1) Christopher Nolan (This man can't do wrong in my eyes, i only had a smirk with Dunkirk but he came through with a stunning cinematography)

2) Quentin Tarantino ( This man is always up to something good, his style and theme are a relish for me)

3) David Fincher ( Gone girl had me shooked!, and what a stunning performance by Rosamund pike..plot, direction and delivery were all on point.

4) Dennis Villeneuve ( Blade runner 2049 was soo dreamy...visuals was stunning and Sicario was dope too (pun intended).

5) The Russo Brothers ( Still of the opinion that Captain America Civil war is one of the best comic superhero movie ever made...my fav movie in the entire MCU).

6) S. Craig Zahler ( simply put i opened brawl in cell block 99 on 25th of December 2017 and i didn't pass the first scene and i haven't gone back to it since... Can't see Vince Vaughn in a different light if he's not doing a comedy flick)

DannyKoice:
Why? It's 7.6 and 93% on IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes respectively.

Google it's doing a number on me then...i saw 5.9/10 earlier..pls have you been able to see the pilot? How was it?.

Blackspider:
Can you ever forgive me - 2018

Slow burn but exciting

8.3/10

One of the best thing i saw last year... extremely slow burner but Melissa McCarthy came through, was even nominated for an academy award in a lead role for her efforts.

Raalsalghul:
I wonder when Will Smith will realize that his leading man schtick has ended.

Now Gemini Man has bombed.

Though not entirely his fault, but if I were this dude, I'd make some career changing decisions.

Not like he needs the money anyway.

Will Smith is done out here with movies tbh, Bad boys for life is another box office bomb ticking.

Risky005:
Yeah I've seen o brother Where art thou. Most directors take time before directing another movie and that's why they are always detailed. Have you seen Fargo?

Sure..classic

Big mouth S3 was so so wild and good no wonder Netflix has renewed it up till a 6th season. S1-S3 are a flawless 100% on RT so far.

realestniggah:
I need to see stick and stones.. From what have seen from the trailer it not your typical stand up comedy show

Dave Chappelle wild af, and he would say anything to anyone, sticks and stones was just like his previous specials.

Risky005:
The Coen brothers
I'm sure you know them
Christopher Nolan is great mehn, you and a friend of mine would be best friends based on your love for Nolan. I'm sure you'd have seen memento and the prestige

Yeah i know the Coen brothers, thier western themed movie appeal to me...see "oh brother, where art thou? If you haven't... Classic

Lol of course have seen memento and prestige and every other Christopher Nolan movie so far from "Following" to Dunkirk.. He has another movie out next year i think, this man problem is that he doesn't make enough movies!
