Best and Worst Nollywood Films in 2017



OJUKOKORO
I never miss an opportunity to tell people how much Ojukokoro is one of my best Nollywood films ever! The best thing about the movie was how the story was told and how the cast brought life to it. I wish they would show it in the cinemas again because more people need to see it. Read my review on Ojukokoro HERE

ISOKEN
Isoken was another Nollywood Romantic comedy but they got every thing right about it. The cast, story, acting and characters were amazing. It explored the themes of friendship, self confidence, love and family and it was fun to watch. Dakore Egbuson did a fantastic job as the the titular character. Read my review HERE
CATCH.ER
Catch.er was a case of whodunnit that was filmed in a very beautiful way with the camera capturing the right angles. It was gripping and filled with enough suspense to keep me going till the credits rolled. We need more movies like Catch.er in our cinemas. Read my review on Catch.er HERE

PICTURE PERFECT
I still can't believe how much I loved Picture Perfect. It was genuinely hilarious and I hope Bolanle Ninolowo get an award in the comedy category for his role as "Jobe" because he was amazing. Picture Perfect wasn't a perfect film (no pun intended) but it was very entertaining to watch. Read my review on Picture Perfect HERE



WORST
THE GUEST
After watching the trailer for this Psychological Drama which starred Rita Dominic, Femi Jacobs and Somkele Idahlama, I literally predicted how the film would go and hoped they would prove me wrong but they didn't. The Guest had so many flaws that made me wonder if they did it on purpose or just didn't know what to do to make it better. Read my review on The Guest HERE

THE WOMEN
The Women starred some of the best female actresses in Nigeria including Omoni Oboli and Kate Henshaw but it felt like a low budget film that you forget about immediately you leave the theater. It had a good story line but a poor execution and some of the cast members weren't really the best choice for their roles. Read my review HERE

10 DAYS IN SUNCITY
Once again, AY gave us another cringe worthy "comedy" with a super thin plot filled with mediocre jokes. It was no different from A Trip To Jamaica and 30 Days In Atlanta but Nigerians still flocked to the cinemas to watch it. I really wish he would stop making such movies. We don't need another adventure from Akpos. Read my review HERE

MR AND MRS: CHAPTER 2
Mr and Mrs Chapter 2 is a follow up to the 2012 film starring Nse Ikpe Etim and Joseph Benjamin and it's no doubt one of the worst Nollywood films I've seen in a while. The storyline was very poor and some of the cast members made the whole experience worse than it could have been. It was a waste of the amazing actors like Rita Dominic and Chidi Mokeme and I wish I didn't see it. Read my review HERE

IDAHOSA TRAILS
The faith based film about the late Benson Idahosa was very flat and very boring. I still don't know how I was able to sit through it till the end. I literally almost dozed off a few times but I persevered till the end. This is another film I wish I skipped. Read my review HERE

"Who Killed Julia Montague?"- Bodyguard Finale

BBC's Bodyguard has been one of the most satisfying series I've seen so far, this year. Over six episodes, they delivered a Limited Series that kept you on the edge of your seat and wondering what was next for Richard Madden's David Budd. David meets up with Julia's PA, Chanel, who was fired in the first episode because he was suspicious of her involvement in the bombings and he was right. She had a hand in it. Chanel set David up and he ended up getting ambushed and kidnapped by the leader of the criminal group, Luke Aitkens. The police are finally  able to piece the puzzle and they findd out that the ex-soldier who tried to shoot Julia was David's friend and this raises an alarm. They're convinced that Budd was indeed behind the bombing. Budd wakes up alone and realizes that he is strapped to a bomb vest with his thumb taped to the activating button. He is unaware that he is currently being investigated by the police and uses someone's phone to call for...

Goodbye Mike & Rachel- Suits' Seventh Season Finale Review

  Suits is one of my favorite Legal Drama's and for some reason, I'm still very invested in the show after 7 seasons. I don't think they've had any bad season and they've done such a great job with the growth and development of the major characters but the time to say goodbye to Mike and Rachel was finally here. Due to the fact that Meghan Markle would be getting married to Prince Harry, I guess it was a good time to wrap up her love story with Mike and they do this with the fairy tale wedding we've all been waiting for. Mike and Rachel have been an item since the first season and have been engaged since the fifth. They would have been married a season ago but were not able to because of Mike's time in prison. I always loved their chemistry and I was so sad to see them say goodbye and more than anything, I loved Mike and Harvey's relationship. It was so genuine and pure. The two final episodes of the final season of Suits aired back to back and...

SUITS: Season 6 finale

        The 6th season of suits has been quite an emotional one with Mike's would be wedding with Rachel, his going to Prison and Rachel's death row case. Death row cases can get really sad especially if the suspect is innocent which was the case of Leonard Bailey (Glenn Plummer) who was accused of murdering two people. After staying behind bars for 12 years, Leonard Bailey was finally exonerated with the help of Rachel and Jessica (Gina Torres). During this episode, a major character said goodbye to the show. Gina Torres decided to leave Suits to film another TV Show 'Catch' and it was quite emotional. This episode showed a different side of Jessica Pearson, she put her pro Bono case first before the firm and fought for the freedom of Leonard Bailey.          Gina Torres will no longer be a series regular and I was happy her character wasn't killed off like Will Gardner in the Good Wife, (I c...
