One of the pioneers of the Ghana Movie Industry, Hammond Mensah of H. M. Films is ready to premiere and release to the general public it’s latest action packed thriller movie with the title ‘Who Own Da City’.

Watching the movie with fellow entertainment journalists with an eagle eye, it was clear why Mr. Hammond Mensah had invested so much in the movie, it was because he needed to make an impact after several years of being on the quiet.

Also, I believe it was a call to his other producers that, indeed movies such as ‘Who Owns Da City’ can be produced down here in Ghana.

Body Enhancement Issues: Who Is To Be Blamed, Lack Of Self Confidence Or The Media?

Following the articles that Ghanacelebrities.com wrote regarding the death of Claudia Aderotimi (for those of you that are not familiar with the story click here), I have been thinking about what would drive an already beautiful young woman to die in such tragic circumstances. I know that she wanted to be a ‘hip-hop video girl’, but I truly do not believe that this was the only factor that caused her to get cosmetic surgery, ultimately leading to her death.

As a 21-year-old young woman, I am well aware of the pressures faced in contemporary society by both men and women- women more so than men. Not only are we faced with an onslaught of how to make ourselves look younger or better, but our eyes and minds are barraged with images of celebrities who appear to look like Gods and Goddesses, making us disillusioned enough to believe that our bodies will never reach such ‘perfection’.

Readers’ Mail: What Is This Hollywood Stupidity I Am Reading, Are We That Retarded? Educate Me Please!

John Dumelo
John Dumelo

Hey Chris,

I just came across the article below published on PeaceFm, Ghana Nation and other Ghanaian websites.

Please help me out and tell me what is the definition of ‘Hollywood’ movie.  There are thousands of movies produced per year here in the USA and more than half of them are not considered ‘Hollywood’ movies.

Is it me or are some people in Nollywood and Ghallywood  are so stupid as to believe that when someone comes from America to make a movie it is suddenly “Hollywood”?  I get so damned aggravated when I read these foolishness.

Do they know the number of movies made in Miami alone because some drug dealer wants to launder his money? Believe me they are not “Hollywood” movies and will never be considered as such.

I think it is high time Ghanaians stop being delusional about this Hollywood thing and get educated about the facts.

Regards,

Kath xxx

POOL PARTY – Yet Another Copied Hindi Movie?

New Movie: Pool Party
New Movie: Pool Party

One niggling thought which would not go away as I slouched in my seat at the Silverbird Cinemas watching the second screening of Frank Rajah Arase and Abdul Salaam Mumuni’s new work, Poolparty, was that “the plots in these movies are awfully familiar…I hope they have not being shamelessly remade with very little creativity for us”. Forgive me folks, but have we not seen one-too-many movies in this country over the past few years which have been so blatantly copied that the only difference between those and the originals are the cast and perhaps title! True. The Game, is an example. Sometimes it seems creativity in our industry is dead in the water. Truth be told.

Celebrities’ Donations In Ghana, A Genuine Cause Or Just A Mere Gimmick?

Jackie Appiah Celebrates Birthday With Underprivileged

All over the world, celebrities are “species” of mankind with strong love for attention; they continuously seek for media coverage when it is favourable to them. The fame of almost every celebrity is heavily embedded in PR strategies which are fully dependant on the media.

Believe it or not, the media play an indispensable role in making and unmaking a celebrity in every part of the world. In fact, celebrities to a greater extent owe their existence to the media and this is evident from the intertwined relationship between the two, leaving the former without any private room to operate.

Weekly Discussion, Let’s Get Talking: Does It Really Matter That He/She Is Not Educated?

blank

I was engaged in a hot debate with my “single” friends yesterday (Val’s Day). What else would single ladies do on Val’s Day apart from debating and fantasying about our ideal men?

Ideal Men! Do they really exist? I guess the men also have their ideal women. Education or the level of education really matters to some people including my two female friends with whom I was in a heated debate with yesterday.

According to Abena who has a masters degree, she will not go for any man with an educational level below what she has obtained.  This means, if you have not had a university or an equivalent education, do not bother to even talk to her.

Tish’s Corner: Chit Chat With Actress Vicky Zugah On Producers & Directors Turned Pimps In The Ghanaian Movie Industry, Trading Movie Role For Sex…

Celebrities like all other human beings have mysteries that cannot be unravelled, secrets that are impossible to divulge and stories that make it hard to comprehend their lifestyles.

I have realised most actors and actresses share the same ‘cock and bull story’ when questioned about how it all started for them. “I accompanied a sister or friend for an audition, a producer spotted and encouraged me to give it a shot and eventually came out as an actor”.
