Media at its best.

  • Perfect Days

    I’ve always thought Asians were an interesting variety of people. Namely the Japanese. Their mannerisms, attention to detail, and endless creativity have held my attention for years now. They are the only people to recover from nuclear warfare and regular giant lizard attacks. Godzilla!!! Lol. They are a resilient people. Further, how they’ve managed to Read more

  • Faat  Kiné

    The Senegalese film Faat Kiné is an honest look at the fine line women walked in society. Can’t be too naive and you can’t be too frank. I’m not sure how much things have changed for women around the world since then, but by American standards, Faat Kiné has become the rule. The average American Read more

  • Arab Blues

    This week’s movie was a long time coming, and finally, that day has come. The adage that if there’s a will there way is true- at least in this case. Welcome to another weekly TV or movie review. If this is your first time, join the discussion by leaving a comment and/or like. If you’re Read more

  • Amores Perros

    This week’s movie was especially well-written, but not for the faint-hearted. I was squirming in my seat the whole time. Full of death, violence, blood, and gore. I hated it. And the worst part is I knew it would be bad. That film is none other than Amores Perros. The opening scene ushered in Octavio Read more

  • Black Tea

    Hello and welcome back to another edition of movies or TV reviews by yours truly. If you like the conversation don’t hesitate to like and leave a comment. Now this week’s film was rather disappointing and I wasn’t sure what to make of this clusterfuck. As you know I’m a sucker for a good romance- Read more

  • Kandukondain Kandukondain (I Have Found It)

    Welcome to another weekly review by yours truly. As promised I picked something upbeat. In fact, the beats from this oldie but goldie are still rattling in my head. The film is none other than I Have Found It or its original name Kandukondain Kandukondain. I first saw the film when I was a kid. Read more

  • My Perfect Roommate

    I can’t imagine not having parents and I wouldn’t want to. No matter how bad my parents were to me, I still appreciate them- not to say I wasn’t a bad kid too. Lol. Only as an adult observing the parent-child dynamic between my niece and nephew and their parents can I truly see what Read more

  • Split

    Mavo! That means how are you in my native tongue of Urhobo. It’s not as common as Yoruba, but I digress. This week I decided to travel to Africa and see how my countrymen have progressed. I can say with great satisfaction that, “Ninja we made it!” Gone are the days of the village huts Read more

  • The Policeman’s Lineage

    I’m Batman!I always thought it was interesting how Joker is able to return to the streets after Batman put him in Arkham Asylum. Of course, he did his allotted time, but did he really pay his debt to society? My question is why not give him the chair? He’s obviously unrepentant and will continue to Read more

  • I Am Not Madame Bovary

    This week’s movie up for review is I Am Not Madam Bovary. I went in blind with this one. I didn’t read the reviews and didn’t consider any ratings. I didn’t know what to expect, so I held all judgment for the end. Now let’s get it! The story takes place in modern-day China, where Read more
