Shanty Town (2023)
GOOD VFX, BAD STORYLINE
Seeing that Shanty Town is a six-part series, one would have expected better character development and an ending that was worth it.
These and more were not gotten from the six-part series recently released to Netflix.
The series opens well, and I believed that I was in for a treat, but not really.
A combination of good makeup, mediocre sex scenes and ok vfx were this series selling points, because the story was riddled with plot holes.
Female extra characters are degraded and objectified, and the excuse of it being true to the story of the life of the average sex worker.
Chidi Mokeme was the stand out actor in this series, He brought his A-game and basically carried the series on his shoulders. The remainder of the main cast were giving what was expected. Peter Okoye's Yoruba accent... wow. He could have done with a trainer.
The plot of shanty town is shabby cacophony of stories that just lengthens the run time.
The ending was abrupt and totally unsatisfactory. For a six-part series.
The story could have used with a better ending but the producers had probably either run out of ideas or funding because the ending did nothing but add to already lingering bitter taste in our mouths.
In conclusion, the movie shanty town is a perfect example of having your heart in the right place but executing with the finesse of a toddler playing a piano.
Blood Sisters (2022)
Refreshing
Finally, after serving us a bunch of bad movies with great posters (kudos to graphic designers) Blood sisters is a breathe of fresh air,
Though there could have been more intrigue and suspense as it was a crime drama, it still shows that Nollywood is moving in the right direcction.
The only issue there for me was Kate Henshaw, her acting was absymal to say the least.
Stand out was Nancy, she did an impeccable job.
THough some scenes didnt stick the landing, the movie was still good, and it is something i would recommend.
This movie shows that they still may be hope for nollywood afterall.
Glamour Girls (2022)
Great Poster design, plotless movie
Kudos to the graphic artists that created the poster design for glamour girls.
Now to the movie... Glamour girls is meant to be a remake of the 1994 classic but it falls short in every ramification.
The acting is so over the top that they make William shatner look normal.
No character arc
What seems to be a plotpoint fails woefully in hitting its mark
I have no idea what the film is trying to show or portray, maybe that Nigerians too have flashy things.
So, if yiou wanna watch because of the nostalgia of the 94 classic then go ahead, if not, its better to spend your time doing more productive things.like washing the beach or sweeping the forest.
Chief Daddy 2: Going for Broke (2022)
A WASTE OF TIME
Title: Chief Daddy 2: Going for broke
Year: 2022
Wow... Chief daddy 2 is way worse than chief daddy 1, and I would rate chief daddy 1, a good 0.5/5.
This movie is bad... Very bad
Story line is incoherent, plot was non existent, actors were below par.
I am shocked that this came from Ebonylife studios. A star studded cast did nothing for the movie... Except make it obvious that the director Niyi Akinmolayan has no idea what he was doing.
I am also shocked that Mo Abudu is the writer.
This movie is worse than appalling
It was a waste if 1hr and 50 mins.
This is the first disaster of 2022.
If I would beg for one thing...
DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE!
Rating: E better to fast than chop nonsense (-5/5) 😠😠😠😠
