The Review Man

“OLUKOYA” REVIEW

To start with, I find some of the PR done for “Olukoya” impressive. Most people would likely think it was the biopic of Dr D.K Olukoya, the General Overseer of Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries. The publicity team therefore remarkably clarified this with the hashtag #NotABiopic. Similarly, the first frame of the movie carriedContinue reading ““OLUKOYA” REVIEW”

“ACTS OF BELIEVERS” REVIEW

“Acts of Believers” is a title that whetted my appetite. It immediately reminded me of the ‘Acts of the Apostles’ in Scripture. Naturally, I expected something along the lines of the greater works Jesus said His disciples would do. The movie turned out quite different, however. Quite literally, I believe it focuses on the worksContinue reading ““ACTS OF BELIEVERS” REVIEW”

“PROGNOSIS” REVIEW

“Prognosis” is a movie that addresses the vital issue of moral ensnarements — particularly those that entangle youths — and their attendant consequences. It is always important to have productions like this that not only portray the problem, but also offer hands-on, step-by-step guidance toward a solution. The story begins with Gaius, a young manContinue reading ““PROGNOSIS” REVIEW”

“DNA” REVIEW

When you talk about creative movie titles, DNA is certainly one. Of course, not many people actually know what the popular acronym stands for (it’s deoxyribonucleic acid, by the way), but in this case, it stands for “Deceit Never Age(d).” Its grammaticality is questionable though, and I’m left to guess or assume what the titleContinue reading ““DNA” REVIEW”

“MARRED POT” REVIEW

“Marred Pot” is a thoughtful picture of parenting, particularly from God’s point of view. The title is drawn from Jeremiah 18, and it reminds us that children are like clay in the hands of their potters: parents. And what’s more, no parent can truly parent well except by God’s help. I pray for those trustingContinue reading ““MARRED POT” REVIEW”

“UNDER SIEGE” REVIEW

Mount Zion Film Productions breaks new ground with “Under Siege” — a bold and compelling musical that blends heartfelt storytelling with powerful gospel themes. With standout performances, stirring songs and high production value, this film is a landmark moment for Christian cinema in Nigeria. Here’s why it’s worth your time.

“HOPE” REVIEW

“Hope” is another compelling short film from the joint efforts of Mount Zion Film Productions and True Talk with TED. This new collaboration feels like a vision from the Lord, particularly targeted at youths, singles and young adults navigating the tricky terrain of emotions, courtship, faith and marriage. I’m genuinely grateful for the consistent releaseContinue reading ““HOPE” REVIEW”

“I RECEIVED HIM” REVIEW

From the stables of Mount Zion Film Productions and True Talk with TED comes “I Received Him“. It is a short film that explores a familiar scenario in Christian circles: when someone “receives” a life partner from the Lord and decides to act on it – and that someone is a lady. What follows isContinue reading ““I RECEIVED HIM” REVIEW”
