HMMMM

So in the early episodes of CH, before they began to develop the EunSoo storyline, there were certain looks he gave her that made me suspect that something was up. This is one of them from episode 3. But on another note, how fine was he in this role? Seriously!

Anyhoo, so after posting the Nollywood Fever blog, I decided to take a look and tada, I am watching something now. She highly recommended Naked Faces.

When I started watching, I instantly recognized it as a movie I'd X'ed out of previously. Basically, it's about three friends. One rich, one struggling and another who'd just been deported back to Ghana. Struggling guy lives with a girlfriend who's desperate to get married. The person playing the girlfriend is a horrible actress. The movie is being narrated by the "writer." Not only is that dude a terrible actor, he's highly annoying. The movie starts off with some bromance stuff but after the deportee moves in with the rich dude, rich dude's mom begins to seduce him.

I have no problem with cougar-love. In fact, I encourage it. But this lady just doesn't look sexy trying to seduce this guy. So after 50 minutes of watching this movie, I've X'ed out.

I know I said I was going to try Gumiho but I've changed my mind once again. lol. Now I'm trying another movie called Checkmate. We'll see how that goes.

Pimping Nollywood

I guess I should talk about Nollywood here too. It's been a few months since I've watched a movie but it's all good. The rest of the links can be found on youtube. 

Violated (mid 90s)

I really loved this movie as a child but I wonder if it's really as good as I thought/think or it's just nostalgia because I still love it. Gotta love RMD.

VHS to DVD to youtube so definitely not the best quality but such is life. The first scene is dark because it's night time but it gets better later on. This was for all the Anne Hartrope/Segun Kadiri fans of Checkmate. lol... but they really had good chemistry so of course it made sense for the pairing to make a movie together.

I wish I could find Keeping Faith (2003) online just so I can post it but no one's uploaded it (I've only found the first 10 minutes). Kinda sad but I have it on VCD so lucky me, right?

This one is ok but a good entry film for those not used to Nollywood. It's called Letters to a Stranger(2007).



Okay, I should totally start pimping the ones I enjoyed... and keep some kind of index so I know what to rewatch.

Sitanda (2006) is for those who want something different. Audio is off, though.



Youtube is always a good resource for Nigerian films but if you can't stand the bite-sized chunks, you can brave the pop-up friendly Nigeria Online (Google Chrome tends to block the pop-ups pretty well) or Bunibuni.

This blogger writes a lot of reviews so I often check her blog when looking for a new movie to watch. 

Hahaha... actors singing

I think this if from when all those Nollywood actors got banned (I might be wrong). Many of them started singing (Genevieve, Omotola etc) but this is a gospel song with some of them.

Men, some need singing lessons. And it looks like Stella Damasus thinks she's got more talent than she really has. But they are looking good, sha.
