You are welcome, make yourself comfortable and enjoy.

They already warned us about the movie, i'm sorry you spent money and time for that nonsense. Even if it's free i won't watch. That Nonso Guy too is really beginning to **** me off.

Overall I actually enjoyed ass on fire, although it had a stupid title. I loooove Nonso so Iw ill watch anything he is in.

One thing that was really stupid though was the portrayal of drug abuse. Him calling the cocaine "my cracks" was funny but ridiculous. Crack is the rock version of cocaine. The film makers really need to start doing research before they do these films.

Also stupid was the way he was sniffing the cocaine in a big pile and just running his nose in it. Cocaine users chop cocaine into lines and use rolled up paper or money to sniff it up. Just making these minor alterations would add so much more realism to the film.

How come you know so much about the "art" of cocaine sniffing. Talking from experience are we?

On a more serious note, Nollywood very often gets it wrong when they try to portray drug addicts, doctors (who come across as quacks), children sent to the US OR UK (they come back with really bad accents and a drug habbit), the mentally insane and so on. This is because the actors stick to stereotypes and cliches and no attempt is made to research a role being portrayed................ I guess the fact that most Nollywood movies are made in about 2-3 days, does not help matters one bit!!!!!!!

I saw MASTER STROKE and to God it was a master stroke of imbecility. It was a "genius" of improvisation. It felt like each actor said their lines and acted out the plot as it came to them in front of the camera. The "home" of Justice Esiri's (Sitanda) character seemed empty and uninhabited. in fact, their voices echoed as it would in an empty house.

Engagement Night (Production was ok but the story didn't even make sense. How can your roomate for however many years and best friend never have met your girlfriend... FAKE! The producers also need to think about timelines when they do when they do this "5 years later, 10 years later" stuff)

Mass Destruction (I just couldn't get with the supernatural stuff and the AWFUL special effects. It was unbearable)

True Romance (I loved Rita before I saw this film, suddenly she was rubbish in everything, this film is a WASTE OF TIME... totally!)

Back from America (Another piece of trash with Rita in it... and those two small boys Osita and Chinedu... They kept doing this awful rapping... it was truly atrocious)

Night in the Philippines (Where can I even start? HEeeeeeeeeeeey!)
I paid my hard earn money for that piece of garbage BROKEN PIECES and I was sorry for it. Some of these movie pple just dont have it. Wasting pple time in watching their rubbish.

I remember watching Jim Iyke in Jealous Lovers. HE came back from the US with a drug habit, and all of a sudden he is on the floor shaking and growling like he has been possesed. He does this til his friend comes round and injects him (kudos to them they at least made the friend "pop" the vein instead of searching aimlessly and digging the needle into the skin). anyway the needle had barely touched him and all of a sudden he jumped up laughing and joking, "man what took you so long?" It was like watching Jekyll and Hyde. The producers should have at least watch ONE drug documentary to make it a bit realistic!

Watched 'Life in New York' on OBE over d w'kend. And it's painful trying to watch d first 5 mins of it. I know it's been written here in d past dat it's bad but meeeen didn't know it's dat bad. Can't believe Chico Ejiro would produce/direct a film like dat.

I hear you O my dear, howeva, I do not need to watch a documentary on drugs to know that to inject anything into the body (drugs included), you need a vein first. After all we all go for routine blood tests or have had IV drips. Also how can you start feeling the effects of drugs immediately???? Afterall, when you take a headache pill do you feel better immediately?????.

I am seriously beginning to think that our Nollywood actors/actresses and directors lack common sense O! Or is that they are so focused on being overdramatic that they miss out the simplest things??????????????????????????

Maybe they just rely on people being ignorant enough to not challenge the stooopid images they portray.

Has Chico Ejiro ever produced a good flick?

Most of his films are crap........maybe Silent Night was ok, but I'm not sure if it was Chico or Zeb that directed that flick
