Watch: Lionheart | A Movie With Heart
Nollywood…chai! Growing up in Nigeria it was essential viewing. The quality wasn’t always great but the stories, all of them regardless of culture, had one thing in common, heart. The narrative carries the movie through, poor production quality notwithstanding. Over the years the quality has improved and stories elevated and have become even heartier. There…

Black Panther | A Narrative Retaken
You’ve seen the movie (I have six times, once we bought tickets and did not even go to the cinema), and now that is is on DVD I have seen it near enough everyday with my friends, nieces and nephews, alone… because it is such a movie that resonates with me. You know the story…

50 Shades of Grey; The Movie
Overall, it was a nicely executed version of the first book, the cinematic element lifts the narrative, making each scene is immediately engaging.

Watch- Gone Girl
One of the most anticipated movies of the year finally hit the big screen after way too much anticipation and speculation. I remember reading this book and rocking in the corner for most of it, because it was such a lot of mind fuck going on. I went on a rant for the first half…

Chef, The Movie

Fifty Shades of Grey- The Trailer
Its here!! It’s here!! IT IS FINALLY HERE AND I LOVE IT!! It was a long time coming but the wait was well worth it. I’d heard tidbits that the trailer was rather swish still, I was nervous for it come out because of the very intense split opinions out there for Fifty Shades of Grey. Listen, its…

The Intouchables
A beautiful story of friendship is how best I can describe this movie. Adapted from a true story, Philipe, (François Cluzet), a rich quadriplegic and Driss, (Omar Sy) an ex-con migrant, find themselves tossed together when Driss is hired to care for Philippe. He would really rather not with the job but there are very few options…

Baggage Claim
I hate movies with clichés and Baggage Claim is a bunch of overplayed clichés. At times funny, but clichéd up to the hills. Montana, played by the bright and preppy Paula Patton, is a air hostess who has thirty days to find a date to her younger sister’s wedding. But she doesn’t just want a…
