Black Panther Wakanda Forever Review [Spoiler-Free Review]

Is Black Panther Wakanda Forever worth watching? Not many movies can pull off a series of deafening silences in a movie theatre. This is not because it is boring or people are distracted, but because they are so absorbed in their emotions that they almost forget to breathe. That was my experience watching Black Panther Wakanda Forever. Everything you loved in the first movie, you’d get again, so…

The Woman King Movie Review - A Love Letter to Nigeria's Past and Present Heroes

The Woman King Movie Review – A Love Letter to Nigeria’s Past and Present Heroes

Is The Woman King worth watching? I remember how I felt after watching Amina: a movie about the woman warrior that I’d read about while trying to understand why Nigerian University Halls were named after her and others like Queen Idia. While reading her abridged story online, I felt a sense of pride knowing that we had such a warrior and commander once upon a time in this country. The movie, on…

Bolanle Austen-Peters’ Collision Course fits nicely in the latter. It’s…

Lockdown Movie Review

When a mysterious new virus enters the country, a group of unsuspecting citizens find themselves locked inside a hospital together for an isolation period of 21 days.  I remember when I saw the trailer of this movie.
