One on One

One On One The first love between two adolescents is so powerful and pure. It’s the kind of love without reason, for they’re blind and innocent, virgin to the true intricacies of living a life.

With time, partners grow from adolescence to mature adults, and love is stricken by outside forces, then limitations and reasons set into their hearts and this time, not

Caught in the act Nigerian African movie scene with dramatic characters.

Caught in the Act

I admit I’m a victim!

Warriors of Satan

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
