I'M TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED

I got a copy of Pretty Queen! Post a review in a bit.

Well, I really didn't like this film for a few reasons. The storyline appears to be taken straight from Eddie Murphy's "Coming To America", so it didn't seem new and fresh. The story is very similar to Passion Of The Soul, Mumy's Daughter and Beyonce! (apparently the roles are just being reversed in terms of gender and the featured actors) Also, in the films I've viewed lately, I've noticed something...bad skin! And in this film, I really noticed it. Now Jackie Appiah is gorgeous, but I observed some skin blemishes on the upper part of her neck (as if on the bottom and side of her jaw). This did not look appealing, especially with some of the close-up shots. It may be due to the type of camera used during filming, digital cameras tend to pick up the most tiniest details.

The movie is directed by Lancelot Oduwa and stars Kofi Bucknor as King Prempeh, who seems to resemble a lion in the face (look at his eyes). Ecow Smith Asante gives an unusual performance in an unusual choice of role (it's my first time seeing him cast this way). Majid Michel gives another solid delivery, but I expected more of this film...so it's not totally on him (though he plays an eminent character in Pretty Queen). Actors must be very mindful of the roles they do & do not commit themselves to, particularly as they become more successful. Majid is cast as King Prempeh's son, Prince Nabiya, who is to wed the Empress (Jackie Appiah).

Vashti Jones has a significant to minor role in the film, and does a fine job.

Another thing, you may notice that throughout the entire film,Sanga Entertainment will be promoting their local and toll-free telephone numbers. They must figure Pretty Queen will be a big seller, and I would agree (but it may be due to prior work). The way the film ends there's bound to be a sequel, so part 3 & 4 should be out soon!

In closing, I would not recommend this film solely because the storyline has been done before and in much more interesting ways. Coming To America is a film I would recommend because it is much more entertaining, and though it released in the 80's...it's a certified classic! Hopefully the sequel to Pretty Queen will be much more innovating.

i told you.m
stay away from venus, AA, movie africa, miracle and all the other local kumasi productions. you want a good ghana film look out for revele films, sparrow, calabash images, GAMA, hush hush or eagle o Jake Aernans work

observers are worried

Yeah,

This movie sucked. I was truly dissapointed because with the great cast it could have been better. I would give it a 3/10..Majid's performance was substandard so I could not even enjoy his performance or say he carried the film. On a different note, the costume in these movies is getting outrageous. The matching outfits, big earings, outrageous makeup needs to be reigned in.

So I rewatched the movie again last night and it looked better than before. I guess when judging it I had "Life and Living" in mind and the standards Ghanaian movies can reach if they put the effort. The movie is alright-similar to Beyonce/Playboy kind of entertainment. I guess I need to take a break from these kind of movies because it is all becoming the same...




















Off to watch life and living again (for the 5th time

Life and Living Again, I came across that movie yesterday, and almost picked it up! The packaging reminded me of the American films The Best Man and The Brothers. I decided on My Idol, starring Genevieve Nnaji, and a few other films.

Can you tell me a little bit about Life and Living Again, ghanaiangyal?

someone HAS got to do something about the outfits these actresses wear.

what was that hot mess that jackie was wearing the first time she was going out with majid? she is a beautiful woman but sometimes, her choice of outfits is just crazy.

i mean, there's majid, just looking absolutely scrumptious and delicious and she comes downstairs in that?

let me try and finish the movie, i'm just mad right now.
