Sucker Punch

Dear Friends, Hope you’re having a fantastic week? This happens to be the last week in April and we should all be delighted and give thanks to God for seeing us through another month. The Easter holidays are finally over thanks to our entire loyal guest for all your support and Easter prayers, despite all the troubles in the Northern part of the country you all came out to celebrate in the spirit of togetherness as one nation. As we also approach the last day of the election we pray all goes well as planned and to all our youth coopers out there a big thank you to the efforts and hard work you all have put in towards a positive change and a new Nigerian, all we can do now is sit back pray and hope that all that has being promised to us will be fulfilled and to all those that have lost their loved ones please accept our heartfelt sympathy.

Over to this week’s movies: topping the list is “Sucker Punch” this an all packed Action, Adventure, Fantasy/Thriller starring Emily browning, Vanessa Hudgins and Abbey Cornish, it’s about A young girl (Baby Doll) who is locked away in a mental asylum by her abusive stepfather where she will undergo a lobotomy in five days time. Faced with unimaginable odds, she retreats to a fantastical world in her imagination where she and four other female inmates at the asylum, plot to escape the facility. The lines between reality and fantasy blur as Baby Doll and her four companions, as well as a mysterious guide, fight to retrieve the five items they need that will allow them to break free from their captors before it’s too late…i am actually looking forward to seeing this movie “why” you might ask… well lets just say i have seen a sneak preview of the movie and “I just cant wait to see it all” Ooohh!!! Did I happen to mention it’s in 3D well.. I just did. So make a date with (Me) this weekend at your number one 3 Dimension/Digital Cinema at the Palms Shopping Mall BIS way Lekki.

I must confess one of the BEST movies I happen to have seen this year is no other than our own Nollywood production by one of Nollywoods gifted Directors Daniel Ademinokan from movies such as OMO IYA KAN. “Ghetto Dreamz” This movie is FANTASTIC!! IN EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD!!!. A few months ago, the Nigerian Entertainment Industry was faced with the shocking demise of the a popular rapper Da-Grin, Ghetto Dreamz is his story, to honor his legacy and impact on Nigeria’s music. It is said that the sole aim of producing the movie is to preserve Dagrin’s legacy for posterity, to raise fund for his family and most importantly to finance the Ghetto Dream foundation in order to help aspiring young artiste to achieve their dreams. I think this is worth booking a seat for as well. The movie features Doris Simeon Ademinokan and Kunle Afolayan and has with scenes from Dagrins final burial. still showcasing at the cinema are “No Strings Attached”, “Battle Los Angeles”, “Rango”, “Hop”, “Red Riding Hood”, “Mars Needs Moms”, “Hall Pass” and “Bent Arrow”, “Just Go With It”, and “Tomorrow when The War Began”

Still showcasing this week, is our Nollywood superstars: “Tango with Me” starring Genevieve Nnaji, Tinsel’s Joseph Benjamin, Joke Sylvia and Bimbo Akintola. It’s a family drama/romance about a newlywed couple who got entangled with mistaken identities during their honeymoon and as a result had to face a lot of challenges, which they could overcome only through self discovery and forgiveness. So, as I often say! whatever the case may be, however the week is going, everyone needs a little relaxation time as often as possible and it remains our pleasure to offer you that and so much more, because your comfort remains our priority. Until next week stay blessed and give thanks to the Lord.

Enjoy
