AfrikCinePedia Hype: May 2010
http://afrikcinepediahype.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 16, 2010. The Hype: Nollywood hustlers. As I mentioned in my last entry, the movies this year have been soooo bad that I have no incentive to review them. Its horrible. My reviews, when they return, will be of the older movies. Nothing good has come out of Nollywood this year, and it seems that with the exception of Shirley's movies, everything Ghana produces now seems to be soft porn! Today, we start with the satire/comedy Nollywood hustlers. Uche Jombo ex mathematician (impressive huh?

AfrikCinePedia Hype: November 2009
http://afrikcinepediahype.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 24, 2009. The Hype: Mind Game. So, although Van Vicker from Ghana is the hottest thing in Nollywood at the moment, no movie of his has ever made it to this blog, mostly because I am not enamored of his acting, producing or directing (yes, he does the last two! In addition, I am curious as to what a Ghanaian, Nigerian, Haitian combo will look like. The movie is Mind Game, directed by Nigerian director, John Uche. The movie stars Nigeria's sweetheart Omotola Jalade Ekeinde, Ghanaian heart...

AfrikCinePedia Hype: The Hype: IJE
http://afrikcinepediahype.blogspot.com/2010/01/hype-ije.html
Thursday, January 28, 2010. For some Hollywood high-flyers late last year, and there have been a few private screenings as well. The few available reviews have been effusive - Omotola and Genevieve were said to have knocked it out of the park! I just cannot wait to see this one. Just even look at the production quality of that trailer! And check out the music - she used Asa! Honestly, I am so excited! You can learn more about the movie here. And also keep up with new developments on this thread.

AfrikCinePedia Hype: December 2009
http://afrikcinepediahype.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 15, 2009. The Hype: A sting in a tale. This is the latest movie from the stable of my favorite Ghanaian producer Shirley Frimpong-Manso's sparrow productions, the lady who gave us such hits as life and living it. And the perfect picture. She also made scorned. Which was not as good as the other two in my opinion. A sting in a tale. Stars Lydia Forson, Majid Michel, Adjatey Anang, Doris Sackitey, Abeiku Acquah, Joselyn C. Dumas and others. Hope it lives up to the promise. Showcases the a...

AfrikCinePedia Hype: October 2009
http://afrikcinepediahype.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 25, 2009. The Hype: The Figurine ( Araromire). Kunle Afolayan, son of the late Yoruba movie legend Adeyemi Afolayan(aka Ade-love) is apparently living up to his legacy with his new movie The Figurine. Kunle used to work in a bank before quitting in 2005 to attend NEW YORK FILM ACADEMY in London to study Digital Filmmaking (source). I suspect that website of his is really old, so I will update it if something more current shows up). The movie stars Ramsey Nouah, Funlola Aofiyebi-Raimi.

AfrikCinePedia: April 2010
http://afrikcinepedia.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Documenting African cinema one movie at a time! Friday, April 30, 2010. And AMAA on CNN. But there are quite a few movies coming up that I am excited about, so I guess my return will be all about the hype feature for now and perhaps reviews of some of the older movies. For some reason, Nollywood is back in the doldrums. Hopefully things improve! To the fact that most stars did not show up. Also weird was the fact that three people won best actress. For the movie Perfect Picture. Yeah, strange huh?

AfrikCinePedia: The Hype: Tango with me
http://afrikcinepedia.blogspot.com/2010/12/hype-tango-with-me.html
Documenting African cinema one movie at a time! Saturday, December 11, 2010. The Hype: Tango with me. I have decided to be a little more selective about the movies I hype nowadays, but this one, I could not resist! What a gorgeous, gorgeous trailer! The story line appears to be really similar to Perfect picture,. Another movie I need to review soon), but hopefully there are plot differences. Its a star studded movie, featuring the lovely Genevieve Nnaji, newcomer Benjamin Joseph (hawt! But it will be rev...
