Children of men...6.9/10
Genre: Drama, Sci-Fi, Thriller


This flick starts up with an interesting, original & promising concept & also presents a convincing, depressing but realistic future reality, down to little details. It sure did have some strong political & moral undertone. Nevertheless, From a storytelling perspective, the movie presents a thin story, loosely tied scenes, and not enough character development & finally, It lacked momentum. For a flick that was Nominated for 3 Oscars & had another 48 wins, i kinda expected way more.

From your analysis, I don't think you understand the movie very well. Thing is, this is not a character or story movie at all. While Theo is the protagonist, he's very uninteresting as a character. He's just there for things to happen around him. That's the whole setup. The cinematography, the worldbuilding, the attention to details, and the visual representation of the world gone to_shit is why the film resonates with people.

The Upside - 7.5/10
Don't know why this has low reviews. Every film, remake or not should be viewed as what it is first, a film. Anyway loved the chemistry between Kevin Hart and Bryan Cranston.

Daphne & Velma...1/10
Genre: Action, Comedy


For the love of Scooby Doo, pls steer clear of this flick. Terrible script, bad effect, awful acting& 100% predictable. Sure, Scooby Doo is quite predictable, but with this flick, 5mins into the movie, you already knew who the mastermind was. Once again, for the love of your precious mb, pls steer clear of this flick.
Bros haba. You can spare a little bit more, at least for the money spent in making the movie grin

Guys what about Nollywood movies? Even the recent ones that make it to the cinemas, are there really none worth your attention?
Well of recent, Nollywood movies are really improving at least when compared to where they were few years back. Though, it's gonna take a lot of time to get to the Bollywood standard, talk more of the Hollywood standard, but I believe we'll get there eventually. You know, piracy is a big cog in its wheel of progress & that's what scares Producers and investors away. I've seen quite a number of 'em & i must confess, they weren't so great & were cliché, but I was quite impressed at the level of creativity & work put into them. Flicks like:
Half of the yellow sun(Don't really know if its Hollywood or Nollywood)
Lion heart
Wedding party 1
Royal hibiscus hotel
Isoken
10 days in sun city
House husband
Diary of a pregnant woman
Ego....
Though most of these flicks, I saw 'em either by chance or mistake but am glad I did. The only Nollywood flick i download with my mb are its comedies, they rarely make it to the cinemas though, but IMO, they are the best genre in the entire industry.

I have this ITK (Itooknow) friend.

I told my friend that I will recommend some movies which she can never guess the ending and she doubted if that was possible.

My friend first watched Shutter Island months ago and was impressed.

I recommended The Prestige next and she was blown away after seeing it last week.


My friend started watching Predestination around 6.08pm today and I haven't seen her online for the past 3hours cheesy

If she had understood the movie, she will be online right now discussing it grin grin grin

Ha! Predestination. That film prepared me for Looper. Predestination paradox is a sonovabitch.

John Wick- 8.5/10

Pure action. Simple plot.

This is how action movies should be.

The fights were also choreographed very well. I see some of my Asian martial actors there too grin


Nice movie.
