Blood Vessel Movie Review

 



It started beautifully, no doubt about that. The beginning was engaging, howbeit, chaotic, which is understandable.


My wahala started with that scene Jidekene and his people threw that litted bottle. I expected a boom of fire. 


I didn't get that. Then they now showed fire burning people. And I am like 🙄🙄🙄🙄


For someone who served in Bayelsa state, I can't speak one word of it. But I enjoyed how the non- South South cast spoke the Ijaw language well. They got the accent and all.



So how did Bimbo Manuel know that the guy that he was looking for was going to be at the market buying something? It didn't make sense. The guy sef spent years picking money on the floor 


How in God's name did that shop start moving? How? 


Why is Jidekene still with his igbo accent? What is Nna doing in his vocabulary? Y'all don't work with these actors to learn and unlearn. 


That Oyin epistle about the python God is crap. Having another action going on at the same time just ruined that moment for her.


There is something about this movie. The continuity is silly. How did the get into those tube like things? How? What happened to the Hausa dude that chased them? 


How did Abbey' sister know where to find him? I didn't see a phone with which they communicated.


In this age and time, how can you lose your phone just like that? How Olotu lost his phone is annoying. 


That bonfire/snake fire scene is pretty annoying. Everything just drag.


The movie bored me.


It just wanted to get to the end 


No depth whatsoever.

This movie was supposed to take the viewers through an emotional journey. But if didn't deliver.


Language was beautiful.

The fact that it was actually a movie that depicted the South South struggle, is soothing.

I loved that it wasn't your usual Igbo or Yoruba movie. 

The storyline was great 

Props, great.


Directing? That's where Play Network always always get it wrong. 


Always.


Charles needs to get Kemi Adetiba or Biodun Stephen on his projects.


I'd give it a 3 for effort 



I read that the guy Tekana guy (the one who was amputated) passed away before the movie dropped. Rip to him.

Sista Movie Review

  The opening scene did me in. I read somewhere that the first few 5 minutes of a movie determines if it is worth it.  Trust me, Sista movie hooked me in less than 5 minutes. I loved the straight to the point opening. No show of the Third Mainland Bridge. No lazy show of Lagos traffic. Nothing. Also, the past/present sequence made crazy sense.  Seeing Kehinde Bankole in that role is refreshing, it's not what she is used to, but she did well. Chimezie was quite not in character, or maybe he didn't bond with Ade Herself. I don't know. He is better than what I saw him act here. As usual Aunty Ronke Oshodi Oke gave it her all. This Tope Owokoniran babe tried with her Hausa accent. I love it!!! I think this is the best of her I have seen so far. I'd say this is a movie Aunty Biodun Stephen put her everything to make. This is a beautiful work of art. I love every piece of it. The story line is dope. Directing is flawless. The fun part was that even though It was predictable f...

Ijakumo Movie Review

  Whatever this movie was set to give, it didn't give.  Even the stripping is not giving. Why is the Sharon girl sex talking like she is doing spoken words???  I liked the babe in "Listening Ears", but I feel she is not 'mature' enough theatrically for this role. Wait, what I noticed was that Toyin and her crew didn't know there was a girl who looks like the Sharon girl in his church. A very crazy error that no director should make. If they had come in with this, maybe the finding out they were twin bla BLA BLA suspense would suspense well. But as the director or script writer were very myopic, the twin shii didn't hold water. If they had said or showed that they picked the Ugandan girl because she looked like the Nigerian girl in his church, e for make perfect sense. Seriously, I am miffed. The only thing that thrilled me was Kunle Remi and his lines. O mard gan. 🤣🤣🤣 "Emi mimo ni kin gbenu sohun". 🤣🤣🤣 "So, idi Uganda lo Fe baye mi j...

FLAWS AND DENTS (Fiction)

FLAWS AND DENTS "Will you marry me? " he asked,  on a bent knee, a wide grin spread across his mouth. Fiona stopped sipping her margarita, her hand stuck on her straw as I gaze at him in shock. He gazed back at her , waiting earnestly for her response. She bent her head as tears welled up in her eyes. One, two they dropped and before she knew it,  the floodgates opened. Her shoulders shook as the tears came cascading down her face. He quickly stood from where he knelt and rushed to her side. "Honey,  why the tears?  Talk to me,  why are you crying?  You know you can talk to me about anything?  What did I do wrong? " He begged as he held her face and tried to wipe her face with his handkerchief. "Baby.... " She started as another bout of tears took over her. "Honey,  these tears are killing me.  I can't stand seeing you like this anymore. Please talk to me,  I beg of you. " She tried to steady her whirling emotions as ...
