Diary of a Movie Lover

After so much anticipation, " Rattlesnake: The Ahanna Story" which is a remake of the 1995 classic "Rattlesnake" premiered on November 13th. The Ramsey Nouah film follows Ahana Okolo (Stan Nze) who decides to steal the life he had always wanted. He does this by assembling a team consisting of Nze (Bucci Franklin), Amara (Osas Ighodaro), Bala (Efa Iwara),  Egbe (Odera Adimorah) and Sango (Emeka Nwagbaraocha). Together, they plan and execute heists but when their biggest heist turns deadly, they all have to decide who and what they stand for.      I only saw Amaka Igwe's "Rattlesnake" a few days before seeing Noah's and it was almost impossible not to make comparisons while watching the remake. 1995's Rattlesnake had a storyline I found very interesting and with this remake, it lacked greatly in the writing department. The screenplay was very poor and you could literally tell what the actors would say in most of the scenes. They were so many po

  When a pill that gives its users unpredictable superpowers for five minutes hits the streets of New Orleans, a teenage dealer Robin (Dominque Fishback) and a local cop Frank (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) must team up with an ex-soldier (Jamie Foxx) to take down the group responsible for its creation. I was so excited to see Netflix's Project Power most especially because it starred Jamie Foxx, Dominique Fishback & Joseph Gordon-Levitt. The trailer looked great and I expected some edge of the seat action but I was let down by the poor execution.       Project Power had so much potential. A good story backed up by an amazing cast that could have probably done so much better with a better director. The dialogue was horrible and the action scenes were poorly executed. There were so many unnecessary one liners and the characters were annoying and even though the actors did their best with the material they were given, it wasn't enough to make this movie worth my time. The character
