Review - Crazy People (2018)

Ramsey Nouah stars in Moses Inwang’s “Crazy People” as a famous Nollywood star who returns to the limelight after a one year hiatus to track down his imposter. Together with his manager, Lucinda (Chigul) they try to find this imposter and stop him from taking more jobs from the real Ramsey. After seeing the trailer for this film, I wasn’t hyped in any way to see it even though Nouah is one of my favorite Nollywood actors. Recently, he hasn’t really been in movies worth talking about. The last was 76’ with Rita Dominic and I haven’t been impressed since then. I have been disappointed time after time with Nollywood films but I’m not ready to give up, so I gave Crazy People a try.



The cast was alright and they gave a solid performance but they were a lot of unnecessary scenes I wish stayed out of the film. It was also too long for such a thin plot. There were a few issues with the sound in the beginning and a lot of scenes were very unrealistic. Lucinda is in a psychiatric facility and she has her nails and lashes fixed. Does this happen in psychiatric homes? In a way, I liked the plot. It was original and they did an awesome job with the cinematography. It still felt a bit empty and almost half the theater left before the end. I almost did too, but I had to see where they were headed. There was nothing particularly special about this film, it had a good story but I don't think it was perfectly executed.  I won’t recommend you see this except it’s from your TV screen. 


RATING 3.5/10
DIRECTOR Moses Inwang
STARRING Ramsey Nouah, Sola Sobowale, Ireti Doyle, Monalisa Chinda, Chigul, Ben Touitou

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...

"Don't Tell Mama"- The Shocking Sharp Objects Season Finale

   Sharp Objects easily tops the list of my all time favorite TV Series. The HBO Limited Series aired it eight and final episode last night and it's something I'll probably never forget. I'm trying so hard to find the right words to describe this amazing show and the phenomenal acting from Amy Adams, Patricia Clarkson and Eliza Scanlen. They were just too perfect. Throughout the season, we've all been trying to figure out who the killer was in this whodunnit and I had so many theories. I never believed it was John Keene because most times, it's always the person you least expect that'll end up being the perpetrator. My first suspect was Alan (Henry Czerny), Adora's husband and Amma's father. I thought the only reason he would venture out to killing teenage girls was due to the fact that he was no longer as had a bond with his daughter and his loveless marriage but I was so wrong. Then I thought it was the Police Chief, Bill who was in cahoots with Ado...

Chicago Justice: Series Premiere/Crossover Episode-"Fake"

Image via imdb.com I looked forward to seeing Chicago Justice after it was announced because I love the One Chicago universe even though I'm yet to see the other shows, i'm very familiar with their stories and characters. I'm a crazy fan of Chicago PD so I'm going to binge watch all the episodes of Chicago Fire, but I don't think I'll be able to see Chicago Med. Medical shows are too emotional for me. With Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, I don't know where to start from, but I'll binge watch from season one to eighteen whenever I can for sure.  The four part crossover started with an episode on Chicago Fire and concluded in the season premiere of Chicago Justice. There is a fire at a warehouse and the Chicago Fire crew think it's an accident but Severide (Taylor Kinney) finds metal wedges shoved under the door which means whoever started the fire wanted everyone trapped inside, so its arson. Image via nbc.com The warehouse was a spot...
