So I want to share a list of my best Nollywood movies. And I put the best in italics because I meant it loosely.
But before I do so, please if you like what I post, do share the links to your contact list, your social media… Also like the post and leave your comments. Thank you ☺️.
So many of Nigerian movies, have great story lines, but what kills it is usually either the picture quality or video quality or cinematography, honestly I know I should have researched on what’s it called—but you get my point, I know.
Or the casting. Or mainly THE CASTING
I can not stand a good story being played out by the wrong actor. Don’t get me wrong, already this actors are really really good, but the image- of -an actor -has- to- match- the image -of the character -he or she is- portraying. ((ALL CAPS! ALL CAPS!! ALL CAPS!!))
Ah!!! It’s so infuriating. It’s like you’re giving me this person -that I Love- to hate.
I think cast directors, need to do their jobs well. Chemistry is very very important, so I believe that cast directors have the responsibility of making sure that the story is being told with accuracy, and with ease, by putting together the actors that can bring to life the characters, TOGETHER.
Ah¡ I think I have ranted enough. I’m going to share the list of movies. (Nollywood movies)
• 2 weeks in Lagos: this one I must confess, I am still in the process, I couldn’t go far in the movie because I can’t stand English speaking Toyin Abraham. She is such an amazing actor, but she has, what should I call it? A niche. Comedy. Yoruba. Pidgin. Razz girl or woman. Eniyan were – I hope I translated that right. So I think she should stick to that. Not hating (I love the WOMAN… Come on! Elevator baby… Hello!!!)
I can’t really tell about the other characters, because I haven’t gone far. I can’t tell if the movie is good, because I haven’t gone far. I can’t tell you or recommend the movie, well – because I haven’t gone far.
But it’s on Netflix. Other actors there are Beverly Naya, Mawuli Gavor, SHAFFY BELLO ((I LOVE THIS WOMAN))
• Namaste wahala: hm, well let’s not do this one, please I can’t.
Rattlesnake,The ahanna story: the casting of this movie, isn’t what’s putting it on this list, if it was casting, damn this movie((100)) if it was cinematography ((100)) if it was acting ((topnotch))
See eh, *scratching head* this movie had a good story, but that was just for the beginning.
My point of watching any movie is for entertainment and education, I need to be able to take something from that time spent, it could be a line said, like one line, of words put together, that caught me. Or it could just simply be that from the beginning to the end, I laughed, non stop, ‘cause there was something that tickled my fancy.
But this rattlesnake eh, this movie rattlesnake eh, I won’t lie and say that I did not understand where the movie was coming from and going to—
*kiss teeth* wo! It’s on Netflix and I’m pretty sure majority have seen it but if you haven’t— it’s, it’s on Netflix…
The set up: I don’t know why I even bothered watching this movie. I won’t lie, I’m not a huge fan of Adesua Etomi Wellington but she was good, and Dakore- A lister. Just like rattlesnake, I get the from where of the movie, I get the facts but that movie was 0 for me. Very pointless.
But the quality ((100)) the actors ((100)) the locations ((nice. nice.)) The story ((how?))
Hire a woman: nothing anyone says, will make me stop regretting that I watched this movie. Like I sat down and took an hour plus of my time to watch hire a woman. *Tears*
You see these actors, Alexx ekubo, Belinda effah… I have never understood their acting, never. So when I saw the both of them, *LOL*.
And why on earth was Ifu-Ennada there? *SMH* I, honestly watched because of Uzor Arukwe and Mike Godson.
The casting was terrible, the chemistry 0, obviously because of the casting.
*blows out air*
I don’t know if it’s on Netflix.
They’re a few more, but I’ll stop here for now. But if you have a list of good Nollywood movies, terrible casting, do share in the comment section below.
Read you 😉 in my next share.
