Movie Review:After the I dos

The movie mirrors the lives of three women Bella(Lilian Amah Aluko),Peace (Dakore Egbuson) and Lulu(Bimbo Akintola)
Peace is constantly abused by her husband Chike(Sunny Nneji) who is also a pastor and having an affair with his personal  assistant,Lulu has been infected with HIV by her husband Osaro(Ejike Aseigbu) and Bella's wears the trousers in her home yet her husband not appreciative of her efforts but rather calls her names to the hearing of their daughter.
Things change when Peace makes friends with Professor Mukhtar and her husband suspects she's  having an affair while he seized that opportunity to kill her yet pretending he did not know her whereabouts till Bella and Prof caught in the act of attempted murder.
NOT SO GOOD:The cinematography of the film looked odd and at some point especially with some of the shots as they looked like animation,the breaks in between the movie for music was a good one but was not implemented very well,the introduction of auto voice of some of the characters sounded odd.
GOOD:The movie mirrors the struggles of some women after marriage and how they survive.It also exposes women abuse.The acting was also okay(though i expected more energy)
At the end of the movie,Chike abuse was discovered and he was sentenced to prison,Lulu left her husband, Bella and her husband became a better couple and Peace married Prof after she finished her Masters.
OVERALL RATING:I rate the movie Okay simply because of the message it's trying to pass across.

Regina(Linda Ejiofor) a young female scavenger found a man (Tope Tedela)left for dead  but was still alive.She is compelled to take him home even when she has no clue about his identity.The Young man later wakes up from coma and now suffers from amnesia.

It is produced by Martin Gbados and directed by Frankie Ogar  and will be in cinemas from Oct 23,2015

Movie Review:Falling

Muna(Adesuwa Etomi) and Imoh ( Oyekunle Remi)were a  very happy couple till an unfortunate accident leaves Imoh in a coma for a long time.
During Imoh's coma Tina Muna's sister(Tamara Eteimo) introduced her to her doctor friend Yemi(Blossom Chukwujekwu) who continued to help to care for Imoh at his hospital and he also had eyes for Muna.
Muna refused all his advances till valentine's day when  the' two friends' got together and ended up sleeping with each other which led to Muna getting pregnant.Imoh later came out of coma and the
pregnancy news was not well received as expected but he was able to forgive her ,allow her to keep the baby and let their love continue.
The good:The acting was very good,  everyone's acting was good  from the lead to the minor roles the lead Muna  sure did justice to her role location,costume,make up,cinematography also okay. Mr Mba  (Koffi Adorjolo) gave us some comic relief.
Not so good:I expected more from the accident scene of Imoh, (not like it was badly done)I found the
placing of Quaker(raw) oats tin beside Imoh's hospital bed inappropriate(I know people take provisions to the hospital for their loved ones when are ill but seeing oats is a first here),At some point Yemi and the director's voice sounded auto tuned.The making up of Imoh and Muna towards the end kind of looked somehow and one could conclude it was done in a studio(even if it was not).
I  do not know who is to blame for this but at some point while watching at Silverbird Cinemas Ikeja,the audio  from the movie ceased like twice or more.
OVERALL RATING:The movie is a good one and if you like romantic movies you will surely enjoy it.
The movie is directed by Niyi Akinmolayan and produced by Uduak Isong Oguamanam.

Movie Review:Dowry Man

A young man Kevwe(Nonso Diobi) specialises in helping couples who cannot afford the bride price to be paid by the man and has been successful at it  until he gets a client Bolaji(Desmond Elliot) whose fiancee Nero (Iyabo Ojo)was and is still the love of his life.
The Dowry man 's job (Kevwe) becomes difficult as he had to mix business with pleasure.He plans with his cousin Uche(Yul Edochie) to have Nero around more frequently.
There are some scenes that did not go down well with me ,for instance when Kewve's guys Morris(Morris Sesay) and the other guy tried working on  Nero's aunt the combination of an Indian speaking going alongside with a guy singing in English looked obverse.I also felt uncomfortable with the classroom illustration it looked bare though it could pass for holiday seasons in some schools so it could fly.
The acting was very good from everyone,the movie is sure to keep you glued from start to finish,the waka pass people(minor roles) blended well into their roles,the makeup,setting good
The movie ended with Nero finding out what Kewve did for Bolaji though that did not stop them from getting married,Bukky(Monalisa Chinda) and Uche also ended up together.If you love romantic movie you will sure enjoy it.
Overall rating:Very good

Movie Review:Merciful

A little girl Joy (Victoria Mbagwu) is diagnosed with cancer which has no solution but death .The news came as a shock to her mother (Ufoma McDermott) who just got change in jobs from a prostitute to a singer.The  news shatters her but she still keeps going strong.One of Joy's elder friend was able to bring her father (Emmanuel Mensah) where they were able to derive support.
The singing scene when Joy and her mum sang was lip synced and it wasn't nice.Joy's mum make u,it could have been better.
The picture quality especially angles especially the
aerial views  is commendable,acting from Joy,her mum good .The movie has an emotional appeal and could make one  shed tears.
The movie ended with Joy's death and her mum getting married to Sophia's father.
My overall rating of the movie :'on the level'.

Hope's phone finally found in the bush!
NEXT:Ivie feels strongly Tony killed his niece(she is really paranoid)Tony announces Hope's phone has been found to the hotel staff.

Movie Review:Love Struck

Alhaji Umar(Alex Ayalogu) is believed to be in a syndicate and is being trailed  by EFCC (Economic and Financial Crimes Commission)operatives led by John Gana(Ademola Amoo )
Dj(Eyinna Nwigwe) works with his uncle Bob (Sunny Mc Don) on a painting job for Alhaji Umar where he ran into Yasmine(Precious Chikwendu) Alhaji's concubine and they both fall in love.
Trouble began when Alhaji was murdered and his 'precious' ledger goes missing  and Dj is the chief suspect as   this is what Sanni  (Eric Didie) tells his uncle Farouq(Lanre Falana)

The bad/ugly:The props used in some parts of the movie was not ideal,some parts of the EFCC office did not represent a proper office setting of that organisation,one of the officers costumes was also inappropriate,the chase scene between Farouq and John was not properly edited as one could see non actors watching,the hospital setting also looked shoddy,Dj fixed meeting place for the warehouse yet the face off took place on the street with people also watching(For an action film,it shouldn't be like that
na haba)
The Good:The chase between John and Dj was a good one,one could the energy and the action.The use of local languages also commendable.
At the end,it turned out Denise(Dj) was innocent and Sannui was the one that killed his father.The members of the syndicate arrested and Farouq charged to court ,John Gama also became director of EFCC.
The movie is produced and directed by Obi Emelonye
Movie Rating:Fair

Movie Review:Carpe Diem

A young man Sam(Bolanle Ninalowo) strives to be like his friends who have made it but all to no avail.On a certain day while at work he comes across a beautiful lady and decides that she is the perfect catch for him .He finds her out via her name Fedora Obasi(Ini Edo) and they start an online relationship based on deceit .Fedora finds out and later calls it quit,Sam seeks the help of his friend Micheal (Chidi Mokeme)  to win her back as had fallen in love with her but Micheal betrayed him by seizing the 'Carpedieming' Fedora for himself.
The movie is a simple romantic comedy ,the plot setting especially that of Sam's vicinity quite commendable,acting was okay, nothing over the top .and the character of Mustapha(Ay comedian) gave us  his dose of comedy  as usual.There were other funny moments like the neighbour who always told Sam to put off his 'i better pass my neighbour' generator for one reason or the other.
I didn't like the 'up nepa' chorus as it sounded kind of artificial  and some scenes were kind of confusing towards the end but a flashback tried to join the puzzle back and give the film a safe landing.
Micheal who is always the hunter fell for Fedora's scam who worked with  Sam as the suave con  Mike ended up being swindled of his belongings and his supposed catch after all it's all about seizing the moment!
It's a Denziot productions(Desmond Elliot) and directed by Robert Peters
My rating for the movie:Tolerable
