Remember last week when I put up a movie review about Tyler Perry’s Temptation: Confessions Of A Marriage Counselor. Well, I was going through my Google Reader when I came across a post on Single Black Male. The author, Dr. J did not like the movie – who can blame him – and he listed five reasons for not liking the movie. One of the reasons was: “Tyler needs a lesson about rape.” Apparently, the first sex scene between Judith {Read More}
The actual movie title is Tyler Perry’s Temptation: Confessions Of A Marriage Counselor. I saw the movie on Easter Sunday with my friends, and well, I was disappointed. Read on, no spoilers, I promise. So there was quite a hype and an excitement with this movie, and who can blame them? The preview looked good. I really feel bad for saying this because I do like Tyler Perry and I especially respect his story (the way he came from nothing {Read More}
I wish I was here to talk about the awesomeness that is Nollywood, but not today. It may not seem like it, but once upon a time, I used to actually be an avid Nollywood movie fan. I watched almost every single movie I came across. And at one point, I actually considered doing reviews of Nigerian movies on my blog. When I first started The Verastic Show on Blog Talk Radio, I did a Nigerian movie review at least {Read More}
The Golden Globe Awards is coming up this Sunday, and I am quite excited! Igwe is more of a Grammy Awards person, while I’m more of a Golden Globe Awards, Emmy Awards, and of course, Oscar Awards type of person. That’s where all the fun stuff is. I think this is the first time I have watched quite a number of the nominated movies. And I am doubly excited that funny ladies, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler will be hosting. {Read More}
I did not realize until we saw the movie that the name is actually Django Unchained. Everyone (or most people) just call it Django. First of all, how was your Christmas? On Christmas Day, Igwe and I did not do much. It was a lazy day, felt like Saturday. There was no work, stores were closed, eyes were drowsy. You get the point. He managed to cook some potatoes for himself that morning, and he has not let me hear {Read More}
Igwe and I recently discovered the awesomeness that is Homeland, a series on Showtime. I mean, it’s freaking awesome!! Talk about a great story line, suspense, drama, intrigue … you know, all the things that Nollywood doesn’t have, but doesn’t know that it doesn’t have. The show is centered around Carrie Mathison (played by Claire Danes), a CIA Agent and Nicholas Brody (played by Damian Lewis), a rescued POW. Just when we think we have figured it out, bam! they {Read More}
Lifetime’s much anticipated television movie, Liz & Dick will premiere this Sunday at 9pm EST (2am GMT / 3am Nigerian Time). I am no fan of Lindsay Lohan, and the only thing that comes to mind when I think of her is disaster. I cannot remember any movie I’ve watched with her in it. Ironically, the only movie of her I remember is Mean Girls, and I did not even watch that. She’s famous for being infamous. We know that. {Read More}
I might get my head bitten off for this one (by both sides of this post), and that’s fine. But I made an observation, and I cannot help but write about it. On Friday, April 20th, Igwe and I went to see the much publicized movie, Think Like A Man, which was inspired by Steve Harvey’s self-help book, Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man. I still have not read the book. I typically don’t like self-help books, but {Read More}
Steve Harvey’s popular book, “Act Like A Lady; Think Like A Man” is being turned into a motion picture with a cast that pretty much includes the regulars: Taraji P. Henson, Michael Ealy, Meagan Good, Regina Hall, Kevin Hart, and Gabrielle Union. The movie will be in theaters on Friday, April 20th 2012, and I’m personally looking forward to it. I’ll try to read the book before then. I’m not making any promises. Also, Jennifer Hudson sang the soundtrack for {Read More}
