Wicked Intentions

Featuring: Stephanie Okereke, Desmond Elliot, Nadia Buari, Susan Peters, Muna Ibekwe

Supporting Characters 

Muna = Desmond's BFF

Nadia = Stephanie's BFF. 

Susan Peters = one of the long string of girls whose heart gets broken by Desmond (she is Desmond's victim of mistaken identity - will make sense when you watch the movie)

Main Characters

Jim (Desmond Elliot) - a philandering, sexist, gold-digging SOB (literally)

Charlene (Stephanie Okereke)- independent woman, the real boss lady. Estranged from her father who hates her because she was born a girl. Has difficulty trusting men and so cant commit to any relationship. Wants to have only a female child (yes that's how much she dislikes men). Her super-cunning father tries to hook her up in this political marriage but she detests the man so clearly that was a no-go area. She is basically anti-men, doesn't want to marry anymore but definitely wants to have a child. She decides to make her desires come true except she needs a sperm donor and goes to hunt for one (Nope not sperm bank kind of donor but sperm-donor-with-benefits excluding marriage lol)

Plot:

so what happens when boss man-hating lady meets philandering, gold-digging man??? Ghen Ghen! watch to find out.

Possible SPOILERS Ahead - Continue at your own risk

What I love:

* Interesting storyline

* Father - daughter scenes were hilarious to me

What I hate:

* Kamsi (Nadia) and Charlene's friendship seemed so fake (no chemistry between them as characters playing best friends)
* The phonetics in this movie made me want to barf, choi so annoying -- this IS African movie for crying out loud!!!!!

* Jim and Charlene's love scenes ( I understand why the scene was in the movie) but worse love scene ever! No chemistry at all (not that i blame Stephanie, Desmond is not really that hot anymore)
* Some scenes ere unnecessarily long  thereby making this movie pretty long (well no surprise there, just fast forward)

Trivia:* Who do you think shot ... at the end?? I some people in mind, just wandering what you guys think.

Recommended?

Holding Hope

This is another great movie I saw recently. It had its moments for the most part and the few moments I could do without a simple forward click solved the problem.

Featuring Desmond Elliot, Uche Jombo, and Nadia Buari.  

Desmond Elliot plays the spoiled,conceited, narcissistic (... need more adjectives :P) rich moma's boy who is used to having  everything his way. He is a managing director in his mother's very successful business empire but he doesn't take work seriously - comes in late, parties all night, comes in some days, doesn't come in when he doesn't feel like it ya da ya da ya da. Anyway, his mum gets tired of her son's mismanagement of funds and decides to hire a new financial director (played by Uche Jombo). The new financial director introduces a lot of financial restrictions that begin crafting Desmond's plans - so, he and his greedy employee-girlfriend (played by Nadia) hatch a plan to get rid of Uche Jombo. Somewhere during the main plot, we find out his mother has terminal cancer and that's the main reason she hired the financial director. She wanted to leave her company in capable hands upon her death and she stipulated that the only way her son would get control of the company upon her death would be to get his shit together and also marry Uche Jombo (with Uche's acceptance of course). Seeing as she was highly fond of Uche, she definitely did not mind willing her firm solely to Uche.

Am going to stop here because I do not want to spoil the whole movie for you all - believe me the plot gets a whole lot better from here. 

Trailer:

I recommend this movie because it's really touching and it is the epitome of "you don't know what you have until you lose it". Desmond did not appreciate Uche and what she stood for throughout this movie and by the time he came to his senses, it was pretty much too late. Please watch this movie guys, you wont regret it. But "ahem ahem" it's a Nollywood movie ooo, so have your hands on your mouse (or remote control) ready to fast forward, yes you read right.

Ok that's all for now.

The movie is on www.irokotv.com, it's free and it only has two (2) parts so that's a blessing! Anyway, enjoy guys and drop comments to let me know what you think.

Mrs. Somebody

LOL! Yes I am still laughing, I can't help it. 

My people, I have definitely fallen in love with Uche Jombo and will watch more of her movies. I know in the past I've said she is not all that in the acting department but I can honestly say she has come a looooong way. She did an awesome job in this movie. Yup! she definitely delivered. I haven't laughed this hard in a Nollywood movie in so long (well actually I haven't seen one in a long while - school problems)... but anyway, where do I begin?

Featuring Uche Jombo, Yemi Blaq and Kenneth Okolie, this movie right here = Commedrama LOL. The basic gist is that this young lady (played by Uche Jombo) is so desperate to get married after her numerous failed relationships that nothing was going to come in the way of her current boyfriend marrying her. She goes to church one day and her pastor delivers this amazing, thunder-striking, fire-lightening, bolt-off-your-sit-and-shout-ALLELUIA sermon that gets our lovely lady all fired up with new found faith and hope. So she proceeds to do the following (from Bellanaija Article):

Become His Mother’s Best Friend 

Attend Every Family Function 
Cook Your Heart Out. 
Let Him Win most Arguments 
Minimize Your Outings 
Always Look Smashing 
He Must be Your Plus+One For all Weddings. 
Catching The Bouquet. 
You Don’t need an 18-carat Diamond Tiffany& co Engagement Ring. 
Buy your wedding dress and deposit for a reception venue! 
PRAY PRAY PRAY! Cast out those demons against your marital bonding and sweep them out with broom 

LOL just kidding - She didn't really do all that was listed above but you have to watch to find out which ones she did do. This movie is hilarious and comes highly recommended. Kudos to Uche Jombo for a job well done. 

You can watch the movie at irokotv.com and its free!
