MY EXPERIENCE AT THE KING OF BOYS MOVIE PREMIERE

There are a few movie premieres that I have attended and this one has been my best so far.

When I got the invite to this premiere, I went straight to check out the dress code for the event because I know my Lagos people; they do not joke when it comes to dressing to events. The dress code said ‘Gangster Royalty’. For a split second, I was blank… ‘Gangster what?’ I thought to myself and headed for my wardrobe to see if I could make out anything that spoke ‘Gangster and Royalty’ at the same time but no, I couldn’t.

Long story short, I decided that dressing safe was better than dressing wrong, so I went in for a big white shirt, slightly ripped sky blue denim trousers and a black plum heel; made up, grabbed my white purse and off I was to the premiere.

                                 TATU.

TATU is a well told African epic adventurous story, with a little bit of horror in it. The movie is an adaptation of the book, Tatu, written by Abraham E. Nwankwo, produced and expertly directed by Filmone Production and Don Omope respectively. Abraham presented a very relatable tale of the humiliation and desperation that comes with a woman’s childlessness, in an intriguing way.

Her determination pushes her to enter into a pact with the god of her land, Gburu, to bare a daughter, Tatu, and then sacrifice her for the forgiveness of the sins of the people.

Movie Review:

    Roti…

The movie “Roti” is a suspense filled drama that would keep you fixed to your seat, eyes wide open, calls and messages totally ignored till the very end. Award winning director and producer Kunle Afolayan, as usual, proved that he is no ordinary Nollywood film maker with this one (he must have read my last review). He teamed up with Sola Dada to address a question that unconsciously lingers in the minds of most of us: Does reincarnation truly exist? This movie, however, reminds me of Rihanna’s third album, Good girl gone bad; it was a splendid movie that went sour.
