As in. Yeye people.

abduleez1:


The English to indigenous Language ratio was like 85% : 15%

That's why I was confused how it was heading for Foreign film consideration.

The people wey submit am, their head no correct

oyaskii:
Rules stay the same.. Best international feature film but with movie predominantly not english...if not movies from UK, Australia and even canada will be considered and movies from Nigeria wouldn't stand a sniff chance.

oyaskii:
No bro.. But i follow a Web animated series on youtube titled "Malika: Warrior Queen" by Youneek studios (Founded by Roy Okupe)loosely based on the Queen Amina Story and it's really good. Roy Okupe btw has created an entire comic universe of African heroes....my point been there are many independent filmmakers in Nigeria ready to do wonders but NO FUNDS!!...Aljeezera recently ran a story of some boys in the north that shot a short sci fi clip with just a phone..A Nigerian Filmmaker also won the best VR film titled "Daughters of Chibok" at the Venice film festival and CNN recently ran an expose on it...so this country is budding with talents in filmmaking but the way the country is set up it will be hard for them to make serious headway.

oyaskii:
lol crase people... Omotola is in that committee right...they should stick to AMAA awards and the likes o

DannyKoice:


Use Chrome or Dolphin. Opera dey craze.

abduleez1:


Omotola?? Which committee be dat?? Oscar??

oyaskii:
Still don't think the treatment meted to it was fair all things consider ed, because that's the only category it had a real shot..imagine been a English based film competing against a Hollywood movie..

Well there are film awards within africa and Nigeria and i don't think they really need an oscar validation...Bollywood have filmfare awards and could care less about the oscars.

Andersonjr:
Oh you haven't seen it yet?

So they should break the rules to accommodate Lion heart? I agree with you, we don't need Oscars for validation, we just need to appreciate our own awards the more and keep improving. The likes of AMAA and AMVCA are great platform. However, there is nothing wrong with putting out our works for foreign awards. Even with Filmfare in India, India still submit movies for Oscar consideration almost every year. The lesson from this is that those who want Oscar nomination now know that they need to shoot more native language movies ( at least 60% of native language).

toluxe0075:


There is nothing wrong with shooting our movies in pidgin, Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa and any other Nigerian language. Yes, English is our official language, but do we all speak English in all the time in our every day interaction? The rule clearly stated more than 50% of foreign language other than English. Do you think Mokalik would have been Disqualified if nominate? Hell no. Those who want Oscar nomination should shoot their movie in indigenous language to stand a chance.

oyaskii:
Yup..she's a voting member.

oyaskii:
Re: Bad Boys forever...1 washed up actor and the other one well on its way to been washed up combining to do a movie that should have been giving a rest....it will shock me if this movies comes out good.

DannyKoice:


I don't follow or watch Nollywood, so naturally, I haven't seen Lionheart, so lemme ask, what's the ratio of English dialogue track to Igbo dialogue track? If the english language dialogue track has a higher ratio, then disqualifying Lionheart was the right decision.

Remember, remember, the fifth of November. The gunpowder treason and plot. I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot!

Happy V for Vendetta Day

Terminator: Dark Fate

Saw this over the weekend, and forgot to drop a review - that's how forgettable it was.

I enjoyed the movie for the most part. Action wasn't terrible, albeit didn't like the way the story ended with them changing nothing. I agree with Jeromeblack's rating. It's more of the same story that we've seen multiple times in the past.

6/10.

JeromeBlack:

DannyKoice:


I was expecting a more freshed out story, going by the fact that it was advertised as the real sequel to Judgement Day, and for the most part, yeah, it was indeed a true sequel, but the themes were largely the same, and poorly executed at that.

JeromeBlack:


It seems repetitive at this point. They should have tried something new with the plot. I loved the action though....

oyaskii:
Exactly my point..never really caught up with the buzz of the movie i was just hoping it will get a fair hearing since it was considered.

Re: King of Boys..Kemi Adetiba had the right idea, Cast and Props but the character development and plot delivery was all over the place. Sola Sobowale's performance was the shining light and yeah was a better movie slightly than Lion Heart...but Nollywood is not there yet.

The action scenes were the best part, but the cynic in me couldn't help but notice that they were sometimes big, boomy and boring - basically Michael Bay-esque. You know, an action style that does a lot and nothing simultaneously.

mekaprime:


Funny enough, I just pointed out the bolded as a reply to your earlier post.

mekaprime:


No wonder it bombed heavily at the box office, same old s.hit. The director better use his tongue to count his teeth & just dead the franchise already, since it's quite evident they've got nothing new to tell storywise. The fact is that movie goers are no longer into that Michael Bay kind of flicks anymore, flicks with poor or repetitive storyline & excessive action & explosive scenes. Am just going to see it for seeing sake though.
