An armed robbery takes place and a prominent politician’s son is murdered in the process, but at the scene of the murder another popular and prominent student’s passport is found. Now the police and the dead boy’s mother accuse Mike (Van Vicker)  who happens to be the best friend of the murdered student as a suspect, and he goes into hiding. The small world […]

A Miracle Film Presents: Mr Bob (Psalm Ajeteio), Abi Adatsi (Monica), Morris Owusu (Charles), Nadia Buari (Akua), Van Vicker (Abusei), Emma Dickson (Mama Jane). Story, Samuel Nyamekye; Screenplay, Fred Asante Kotoko; Director, Samuel Nyamekye. On a serious note, if there’s a movie that’ll tickle you to death, that movie will be “American Boy.” It’s down right funny. The kind of funny that will not impose itself on you, because the characters are too serious about their roles, but  kind of

There’re really guys like this: wise guys, fast talking, tough-talking, smooth-talking and confident- building guys who can present before you a heaven on earth. They’re not your 9 to 5 kind of guys. They live by scamming, pilfering, lying, deceiving and robbing, peddling guns and drugs. They’re the best dressed, they hang out with big shots-governors, ministers, bank managers,

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

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.
