Review
Dangerous Twins was a different pace in the Nigerian Movie Genre for me. This movie was exciting and unpredictable, although part 2 was a ridiculous waste of tape, part 1 and 3 were very attention grabbing and absorbing. Part 3 was by far my favorite in this trilogy because of the twist that is sure to leave you stunned.
Verdict for Trilogy: 4/5 Glossy Kisses

Review
Although this is a chic flick, I totally enjoyed it. My favorite aspect of this movie is the transformations of the different characters and the way that they make your feelings transform for them throughout the movie. The end is definitely icing on the cake and yes I'll admit it I found myself getting sappy.
Verdict: 4.5/5 Glossy Kisses

Review
By far this is one of my favorite Yoruba movies, don't worry it is subtitled and the subtitles are accurate translations in English. Tony Tetuila makes a guest appearance in the movie and surprisingly is a very good actor and fits naturally into the storyline. This movie has all the elements of drama, humor, surprise, sorrow and reality that makes the audience feel like it is their story that is being told.
Verdict : 5/5 Glossy kisses

Reviews
Hmmm, this movie was very predictable and unimaginative. Though the storyline managed to keep my attention for the duration of the movie, this is not a movie worthy of my brain memory. This movie has no uniqueness and falls into the stereotypical love story mold. Although it wasn't horrible, its certainly not something that I would call up a friend for and demand that she leave her house at 3am in the morning to go get and watch, even if she was extremely bored.
Verdict: 1.5/5 Glossy Kisses

Review
This movie had me rolling!!!!! There were parts where I seriously could not breathe, this was one of the funniest Nigerian Movies I have seen to date! I think the funniest thing about this movie is that we all know we have an uncle, aunt or family friend that acts just like Osuofia and it is so comforting to know that we are not the only ones with such family members, I know it comforted me. Part 2, though funny on its own, in no way compared to the humor and interest of Part1 but was a decent ending to the tale.
Verdict : 3.5/5 Glossy Kisses
