Movie Review: Mamba’s Diamond
Follow two amateur thieves who mistakenly bite more than they can chew. Mamba’s Diamond is a fast-paced action comedy that drags you to the edge of your seat and demands your full attention from the get-go.
Movie Review: Mama Drama (2020); available on Netflix in 2021
Osas and Shaffy were in their elements in this beautiful movie of love, pain, cultural integration, societal pressure, and medical issues. Mama Drama delivers on great performance, among other good things.

The Wait is a story of pain, waiting, and hope, but it is sometimes confusing. Continuity is also often iffy and off. This is a long wait.
Movie Review: Suga Suga – Richard Omos Iboyi (Director), Ayo Adesanya. Wole Ojo
Suga Suga introduces some new faces whose acting skills still need a lot of work, but the featured stars are not at their best either. Coupled with a weak script, it leaves a sour taste in the mouth.

Movie Review: Eagle Wings (2021) raises the bar for NollyWood War/Military movies
The War/Military movie genre is not one that we get to see often from Nollywood. Eagle Wings is easily the best we have seen so far, much better than any others. We would easily give it 4 stars but for some sour spots.
Under The Carpet (2021): A Movie Of Wasted Potentials (The NollyRated movie review)

Easy Gold (2021) movie review: The slap did not stick
The storyline of Easy Gold did not slap. Neither did the comedy stick. At the end of the movie, I wasn’t the only person who thought a refund of ticket fees was in order.
