Letters to a stranger---loved the dialogues and the characters were well developed, their lines stayed with you long after the movie was over.

Unfinished Business------Not sure if it is this year or last, but I just watched it, soo..again good chararcter development, loved that Genny and the girl that played Dessy's wife didn't hold back in the love/kissing scenes. Chemistry btw Des and Gen was palpable

He lives in me--------(Only part 1 and sans Gen's mom's scenes---arrrgh) Very fresh in idea and made u at least think a little and ofcourse those kissing scenes with Muna

Haven't seen WHITE WATERS but I'm pretty sure it will be on my list based on the director(Izu Ojukwu and the producers (Amstel)) cos they sure know how to do a thorough professional production!

Ok, all of the above, together with faithful betrayal, of which, I'm still waiting for the other parts...I can't get over Unfinished business cuz I love the whole genny/dez thing.
A piece of flesh, I don't know what year that one's from but its managable...wud've been berra without Dez's girlfriend and best friend.

Lastly, I appreciate nollywood's new craze of parts 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10.

I bow!

II have watching some good nollywood movies lately and if not for the part 3- 4 part of movies that I am fed up of it has not been too bad this past few months.

White Waters has to be the best movie I have seen so far from nollywood, this movie need to win an award for best movie from nollywood and I pray that it happens because they deserve an award for such a good and professional production, everything was on point I mean the storyline was good and different from the usual crappy movies I hope other nollywood movies productions learn form this movie because it will help them a lot to make good professional movies to take nollywood to the next movie. To all the cast and crew of this movie that make this movie what it is you deserve a good award and thumbs up for such a good work.

Letters to a Stranger is another good flick very different from the usual stuff everyone did a good job, with good picture and sound quality good performance from the cast you guys also deserve and award .

My Idol and good flick I loved it the storyline is not the usual love story is quite different from the usual love stories, Genny and Yemi pulled this movie with their outstanding performance, good production quality well done to the cast and crew.

Where Oceans Touch another movie that I enjoyed it has to be one of the best of ini's movie her acting was on point very natural, her friend and children did well, well done to the cast and crew of the good effort.

Blood Apart - I like this one it was a very good storyline I have seen this situation in real life I can relate to it very emotional movie the cast and crew did a good job.

The number 1 got to be White waters cuz it relates to the truth about struggle; its very inspirational..... im still searching for the faults in the movie. The struggle of Melvin cant be forgotten

Letters to a stranger is another classic! though I saw faults in the movie like Jemima using a glo phone while MTN where the sponsors, Kemi wuz too serious that I knew she was acting, Sadiq wuz trying too hard on his exhausting diction..... yet I loved it cuz it never been done before. The movie have me wondering what the chemical formula of Egusi soup is

Wud also recommend Broken tears cuz its very realistic; the predicament of the African woman shown though it could have been better. Liked the ending cuz African woman are very absorbed in marriage even when there is more bitterness

Player No. 10 is also recommended cuz its an edutainment. The msg was clear- people live with AIDS but do not discriminate cuz they can have a normal life like negative guys as me (dunno about u). Though some scenes were absolute time wastage

Smokes and Mirrors is also recommended though its not yet out but its never been done. Just the Ad is keeps me awaiting it

Have been looking forward to 30days but no longer am I. The movie can kiss my ass for all I care. The suspense on release is driving me mad. But I go still buy am when they release am, thats the painful thing

Stronger than Pain...superb acting
