Corporate Maid

2 Comments / Reviews / By

It’s Mercy Johnson again! This time she’s a three-dimensional character in a convoluted story. She plays Miss Rose, a straight-jacketed English maid who has a lesbian affair with the lady of the house; then she sleeps with the husband of the house and tops it off by sleeping with the house cook in her quarters. Corporate Maid explores comedy, tragedy, and lesbianism. In this African film, the whining wife of Chris (Van Vicker) is never satisfied with the services of the maids in […]

Sins of Rachael

  Sins of Rachael Director Emeka H. Umeasor takes a close and personal look at Sins of Rachael. You can find it so in the composition of the shots as they interpret on screen.  The excessive use of extreme close-ups and medium close-ups bring even viewers closer to the events and characters on screen. Beautiful shots befitting beautiful story. Screenwriter, Andy Nwakalor weaves a beautiful drama here too for our viewing pleasure. He tells the story of Rachael (Joy Torty), a fountainhead character and a straight-faced born-again

My Story

    My Story My Story is a hybrid form of Fatal Attraction. Vickey, a married woman, introduces Stanley to her elegant pad like a lion lures a prey to his den. Once in the den she eventually succeeds in seducing him with a kiss (I nominate this kiss as Nollywood’s on-screen kiss of the year) and Stanley’s innocence is deflowered. He has eaten of the apple and like Adam before we are left corrupted. His entire world revolves around this married woman.

Caught in the Act

3 Comments / Reviews / By

    Caught in the Act The proverbial ‘caught in the act’ suggests sexual impropriety. My libido flares at the connotation of the meaning. Imagine an enraged husband bursting into a flea-infested motel room, catching his wife and his driver making out. Choosing Caught in the Act wasn’t a choice based on the star-studded lineup, but rather was based solely on the title. It is a thought-provoking title that anybody might snatch off a store shelf. I admit I’m a victim!

Warriors of Satan

Leave a Comment / Reviews / By

A movie shot on a budget of $15,000 or less cannot show many of the elements that it takes to make a film a commercial success. It could be graded more on essence; but filmmakers don’t usually achieve their purpose when such elements are either absent or compromised in films. Desmond Elliot pulls a fine performance here as Eva in this cultic flick. His limping and confident smooth talking makes him all the more believable. He costars with Emeka Ike

  Onyeze Holdings Presents Onye Eze Akirika (Chiwetalu Agu),Larry Coldsweat (Emeka), Nkiru Sylvanus (Ego), Romanus Amata (Okeke), Nonso Diobi (Ugonna). Director Of Photography, Tola Chukwu Agienoji; Producer, Okey Billy Boniface; Executive Producer, Martin Onyemaobi; Director, Amayo Uzo Philips. C2006 I have never had the time to sit through Nollywood movies. Reason is, either most of the themes are watered-down or exploitative, or the movie is just too long for this viewer. I managed to sit through Pastor’s Blood 1 & 2 and
