I’m tired of Turning Red slander. Movie goes hard and is genuinely one of the most enjoyable Pixar movies. https://t.co/lcVUmzGoYm pic.twitter.com/kvrMKec4ue

As promised...

Lions and tigers and bears...oh my!  


Scarecrow: Did you hear that? He'll announce us at once. I've as good as got my brain. Tin Man: I can fairly hear my heart beating. Dorothy Gale: I'll be home in time for supper. Cowardly Lion: In another hour. I'll be king of the forest. Long live the king! (Singing) If I were king of the forest. Not queen. Not duke. Not prince. My regal robes of the forest. Would be satin. Not cotton. Not chintz. I'd command each thing. Be it fish or fowl. With a woof! And a woof! And a royal growl. As I'd click my heel. All the trees would kneel. And the mountains bow. And the bull kowtow. And the sparrow would take wing. If I... If I were king. Each rabbit would show respect to me. The chipmunks genuflect to me. Though my tail would lash. I would show compash. For every underling. If I... If I were king. Just king. (Dorothy, Scarecrow, and Tin Man roll down the rug then they wrap him in rug like a royal cape. Tin Man breaks the flower pot with his axe making it look like a crown and placed it on Lion's head) Monarch of all I survey. (Chuckling) Monarch. Of all I survey. (Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin Man bow to him.) 

--

Dorothy Gale: Your majesty, If you were king, you wouldn't be afraid of anything? Cowardly Lion: Not nobody, not nohow! Tin Man: Not even a rhinoceros? Cowardly Lion: Imposserous! Dorothy Gale: How about a hippopotamus? Cowardly Lion: Why, I'd trash him from top to bottom-us. Dorothy Gale: Supposing you met an elephant? Cowardly Lion: I'd knot him in in cellophant! Scarecrow: What if it were a brontosaurus? Cowardly Lion: I'd show him who's king of the forest! Dorothy Gale, Scarecrow, and Tin Man: (Together) How? Cowardly Lion: How? (Removes the rug) Courage! What makes a king out of a slave? Courage! What makes the flag on the mast to wave? Courage! What makes the elephant charge his tusk in the misty mist or the dusky dusk? What makes the muskrat guard his musk? Courage! What makes the spinkx the Seventh Wonder? Courage! What makes the dawn come up like thunder? Courage! What makes Hottentot so hot? What puts the ape in apricot? What have they got that I ain't got? Dorothy Gale, Scarecrow and Tin Man: (Together) Courage! Cowardly Lion: (Smiling) You can say that again.(Confused) Huh?

Indian Movies - Dharam Veer

Remember these musical interludes?  And the subtitles, anyone? 









I know, there's more, there's more. Watch the movie.
Funny thing is - while I remember all the songs from watching it a hundred and ninety-nine times in the eighties (like you did too, tell the truth)...I can't really say what happened overall - it's complicated, no wonder - like why were they fighting on the pirateship at the end.  Guess I need to watch it again.  Beautiful thing, this film.  Fantastic music by Mohammed Rafi and others.

Video: In Conversation with...
leading actress Genevieve Nnaji  and leading filmmaker Kunle Afolayan at the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival (City to City, featuring Lagos and the Nigerian film industry)
It's a lovely and insightful hour-long interaction.  Watch and share. 

Remember Ebola? #93Days in 2014

There's a film, 93 Days, about Nigeria's brief encounter with the contagious disease.
Excited?  

When Patrick Sawyer a Liberian American collapses upon arrival at the Murtala Mohammed International airport, Lagos - Nigeria, he is taken to First Consultant Hospital, where he is admitted with fever-like symptoms.  Against his denials of contact with any Ebola victim in Liberia, the team at first consultant led by Dr. Ameyo Adadevoh quickly deduce there is more to his case than malaria. Their vigilance leads to an early detection that Mr Sawyer indeed had the Ebola Virus disease. 

--

Now it’s a race against time to contain a deadly disease from breaking out and infecting an entire city population and beginning what could be the biggest deadly disease outbreak the world has ever known.
The scare is palpable across the country. The doomsday scenario imagined is here. Over a 93-day period from when Sawyer comes in men and women from Nigeria, WHO and MSF do battle with this deadly disease. 

--

At its core, 93 Days is a compelling human story of dedication, sacrifice, resilience and survival.

NOLLYWOOD at its finest

Everybody still talks about Osuofia.  And "Living In Bondage" is said to be THE classic.

I slept through 30 Days In Atlanta and Two Brides and a Baby.  Was very pleased, pleasantly surprised, with Inale.  I still really want to see Confusion Na Wa (Help?)

Flower Girl (I got a pirated 1/2-film) seemed like such fun.  And I really liked Tango With Me and even Anchor Baby.  This cohort is quality stuff, relatively.  Which one should I watch next?

I've seen four of five.  The Meeting's the best.  Jenifa is hilarious.

Again here I've seen four of five.  The crowd loved Mr. and Mrs. I did not.  I really need to see Phone Swap. 

 There are many good films from Nigeria not on this list.  Care to add them in the comments?
