Butterfly

Movie Trailer:

I saw this movie sometime in January (wrote a draft review but never posted it lol) ...

A romance flick featuring Ramsey Nouah, Genevieve Nnaji, Clem Ohaneze. Basically, Ramsey uses and dumps girls who are introduced to him by his cousin (i.e. his cousin arranges girls for him ...ps: a female cousin ooo smh). Anyway, he meets Chelsea (Genevieve)and falls madly in love with her (I know so typical lol). He then decides he has had enough of random girls, and turns a new leaf for her with intentions of marrying her. But as it turns out, Chelsea ain't having any of his sappy love. She is in love with another man Ray (Clem Ohaneze) who cares more about his work than he cares about his girl. So it's basically a sort of love triangle: Ramsey wants Chelsea, Chelsea wants Ray, Ray wants his Work lol...

I know whatchu y'all thinking, I already told the story so what's new huh? Well y'all have to watch it to find out who ends up getting his or her heart's desire and before you jump to conclusions, there is a nice twist in the story ;)

Pros:

No soft porn scenes, and the acting was good

Cons:

Some fast forwarding necessary.

All in all:

An Average movie, but I recommend.

..... the full movie is available on OnlineNigeria.com

The Other Side of Love

This is an update on one of the movies from this post: OMG! 3 Movies That Redefine Stupidity!!!

Cast: JJ Bunny, Ramsey Nouah, Pascal Atuma, Rex Otuka

So this is the second movie that I originally couldn't get myself to watch --> out of boredom I decided to give it a chance and here goes:

• am pissed that onlinenigeria would not let me fast forward the movie so I had to mute some scenes and watch something else until those scenes are done -->Yes, it was that frustrating.
• am pissed that i actually decided to give this movie a chance
• am pissed that Ramsey Nouah took part in this tomfoolery called a storyline
• am pissed at the portrayal of Nigerian lawyers in this movie! am not a lawyer but damn am so pissed about the lawyer's role in this movie!
• am pissed at the portrayal of the FBI in this movie! how ludicrous! In fact the FBI should sue the producers for defamation of character! 

Unto the "supposed" true life story:

• basically, the movie is about 4 girlfriends that are supposedly successful except for one who is a housewife with 3 kids (in her misconstrued mind, that isn't success). The latter (Buki) went to nursing school with the successful home health care owner (Stella) but didn't pass her board exam (NCLEX).  Stella's health care center became very successful. Anyway during one of their girlfriend gatherings. Buki became jealous of Stella and set out to destroy her. and what does she do? she calls the FBI and reports Stella for defrauding medicare and IRS via an anonymous tip and the rest of the movie basically involves the FBI investigating Stella and the IRS sending her letters about how much she owes them and medicare trying to sue her and what not. Anyway, Stella goes to see her lawyer (who in my opinonu should be disbarred!) and the yeye lawyer advises her to send money to Nigeria before the federal gov' freezes all her accounts and he connects her to this unknown guy who she would drop the money off with and the guy will then send the money to Nigeria to anyone she wants the money to go to (I haff died of lafta here! that's one helluva trust to bestow unto a total stranger, in this day and age of 419). Anyway, she only communicates with this guy via a safe and secure chat line (na so!) the same chat line that the FBI easily hacked and a 419er also hacked and duped her of her money ... hehehe. I don't want to tell the whole story (not that there is much left to tell) but let me conclude by saying the rest of the plot unraveled on the same day in a park (that is where both the 419er, the legit money transfer guy, the FBI and Stella all collided :D)

My "WTF!" Moment!

• Please if IRS and medicare are investigating you, is it a good idea to suddenly start withdrawing large some of money from your account? (My people biko help me comprendre)
• I don't understand how the FBI was supposedly investigating her and tracking her every move and yet they didn't act on the money withdrawals or even bring her in for questioning about her chat conversation on money transfer (cos recall the FBI could see the chat). By the way, the FBI knew someone else was monitoring the chatline and in every scene, the FBI agent says "track down the other IP address", yet they never did track it down :-S
• Towards the end of the movie, it turns out that her love interest in the movie - Michael (Ramsey Nouah), was the same as the invisible money transfer guy -->  he was actually legit in doing the transfers (because it was a 419er that hacked into her chat line with Michael and duped her of 1mil). Oh and it also turns out that Michael is her on of her bff's brother.
• After the park scene above where the FBI arrested them all, the movie fast forwards 2 yrs later and we see Ramsey and Stella on couch, Buki on the street begging for money and the movie ends (clearly I exaggerated this last summary but that's pretty much it)
• We never did find out what happened to the 419 guy
• Somehow Ramsey survived being shot at the park and didn't go to prison
• Stella who was arrested was somehow released without explanation. what happened with her case with the IRS, medicare etc? did she get back her 1 mil? what  conclusion did the FBI reach in their investigation
• Buki somehow lost her home and husband to beg on the street???? how did that happen? and how did Stella find out it was Buki that reported her to the FBI?

So many hows??? In conclusion this movie is very stupid! They claimed it is a true life story! Na So! This tori no make sense joh! rubbish... 

Here are the links to the movie if anyone still wants to go ahead and watch it (no sa I no warn una shaa) -->
