Seriously, I want us to meet England  Nothing pleases me more than Nigeria defeating Ghana, Cameroun, South Africa and England in a game of soccer. . .in that order. Super Eagles should also take a hint  |

| TV/Movies › Re: What Was The Last Movie You Watched - Part 2 by semid4lyfe(m): 11:43am On Aug 06, 2011*. Modified: 11:34am On Jul 29, 2012 |
THE FIGURINE - MY REVIEW Not your typical Nollywood movie and this was obvious from the first few scenes. . . i.e The bringing forth of the goddess to Earth by the Priest, the 7 years of prosperity & 7 years of misery, death of the priest and the subsequent burning of the shrine and the downpour of rain which was all done in a colour to reflect a period in the distant past was very impressive. Script & Directing: The script is the written form and template from which a movie is made and a good script does so much for a movie. The story is very believable and the dialogue & interaction between characters was very well scripted & potrayed on screen. . .although there was some ''forced'' dialogue in one or two scenes to promote/advertise the movie sponsors. eg the Miccom Golf Resort, Osun State & Lagos Park scenes. Despite the movie being a slow paced ''talk'' drama, it stayed interesting through-out, was evenly paced, never dragged or had a lull. Also, the transition between scenes was seamlessly done and all this is due to the excellent job done by the Director. Cast & Acting: Everyone cast in this movie was perfect for his/her role and performed very well except Funlola Aofiyebi-Rahman who played Linda and was guilty of ''overacting''. She overdid the whole ''single'', ''upwardly mobile'', ''rich'' and ''successful'' young lady trying to hook a man and settle down thing IMO. Her gesticulations, rolling of eyes, flailing of hands etc was exaggerated, annoying and irritating to watch. Someone needs to sit that lady down and tell her to stop overacting cos she does exactly the same thing in the MNET tv soap, Tinsel. Femi (Ramsey Noah) & Mona had maad chemistry and I really felt their vibes. However, I was most charmed by the man who played the role of Mona & Femi's lecturer. . .his performance was outstanding and he stole the show in the few scenes he appeared. Cinematography, Costuming, Set Location & Design: Figurine also does well in these areas. The village life scenes at the beginning of the movie, the NYSC orientation camp (the best depiction of it I've seen in any Nollywood movie) and all the other scenes were vey well done. The costuming of characters and design/decor of locations/sets used in the movie was very good too. Take for example the Lecturer's office and it's interior decor which was very artistic, afrocentric and stunningly beautiful. . .with all the posters of african art forms, deities, plaques, sculptures etc. . . .and the parrot which squeaked when Shola touched it's cage  Score and Soundtrack: The background sounds that accompanied the different scenes and the soundtrack (the araromire song. . .and thankfully it wasn't a rehash of the story) of the movie were low key and not loud like in most Nollywood productions. Also the background sounds kept fading in & out and was in sync with whatever was happening at any given time in the movie. All in all, the musical score and soundtrack provided very good transitions between the scenes and perfectly portrayed the emotional viewpoint for the scenes and the film as a whole. Language, Translation and Subtitling: I absolutely love the language used in the movie. . . .the combination of English, Pidgin and Yoruba spoken was perfect for a story set in 21st century Lagos and it wasn't misused at all in relation to the characters. As in, characters who were supposed to speak English to each other spoke English and those who were supposed to speak Pidgin or Yoruba spoke exactly that. For example, it would have being foolish for Shola to have conversed with his Lecturer in Pidgin or Yoruba. The translation and English subtitling was okay too as there was no ''tabons'' but I felt it could have been better and more specific as there were times the subtitled English translation conveyed the general meaning of what was spoken and not the exact meaning. Also there were a few parts in which Yoruba was spoken and there was no subtitled translation shown on screen. The Climax & Ending: This is what I like most about Figurine. When the truth unravels it'll shock you. Also, it's doesn't conclude it's self and has what I'll call an Open Ending. . . as in, it leaves you to draw your own conclusion and make up your own mind on what to believe. It's the kinda movie you see at the Cinema and discuss with your friends during the long drive home. . . and many days after. Overall, it's a very good movie and I'll score it a 7/10 |

Didn't really feel her voice on the ''lullaby'' track cos the instrumentation was too loud and kinda drowned it. All in all, not a bad voice but she's kinda overstretching it IMO. |

Lets do a comparative analysis of Michael Eneramo vis-à-vis the Forwards invited by Samson Siasia for the Ghana friendly. His he better than any of them? Obinna Nsofor Vs Michael Eneramo = Obinna Nsofor Victor Anichebe Vs Michael Eneramo = Victor Anichebe Ikechukwu Uche Vs Michael Eneramo = Ikechukwu Uche Osaze Odemwingie Vs Michael Eneramo = Osaze Odemwingie Ekigho Ehiosun Vs Michael Eneramo = Ekigho Ehiosun Emmanuel Emenike Vs Michael Eneramo = Emmanuel Emenike **Brown Ideye Vs Michael Eneramo = Brown Ideye Others players ahead of him on the perking list in my opinion (In terms of recent performance/form and ability) are: **Obafemi Martins, Michael Uchebo, Anthony Ujah, Kim Ojo & Simon Zenke. . .and the larter three never get Super Eagles invitation o Hell, I'll even pick home-based Uche Nwofor of Enugu Rangers and the Flying Eagles ahead of him. Michael Eneramo should ''mechionu'' and let his performance and goals speak for him jare. |

I wonder why he's lamenting when the door has not been shut on him. The best way to grab the headlines and get an invitation to the team is by scoring gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooals. He should concentrate on his club career, score loads of goals and the invitation will come |

It's a bot programmed to auto-send ''hot'' topics to the Frontpage and it seems it's priority is set for threads from the politics section If you observe closely, you'd notice the title of the threads moved to the homepage by the Frontbot are not modified at all unlike the threads moved there by the Admin or Super Moderators. It's quite intelligent and seems to be doing a very good job IMO |
