Yvonne's Tears Part 1 - 4

2011
-Story: [0 out of 5] Considering the synopsis, I thought the movie might actually have a storyline and actually be headed somewhere. Yet, after twenty minutes of extremely annoying scenes, the viewer is accosted with a haphazard arrangement of scenes that really won’t make any sense in any particular order. The movie makers attempt at creating suspense was disastrous and the only thing he/she ended up creating was a desire within me to knock him on the top of the head with my heel.
-Originality: [0 out of 5] Ha! It was originally useless if that’s what you mean by original, lol. In the beginning, judging from the synopsis, I was getting a “Eve Esin, Mercy Johnson and Van Vicker in ‘Room Service'” vibe from the movie then it started going the suspense route and then I was getting a “Frank Rajah production, Chelsea, starring Nadia, John and Majid” vibe from the movie. After part 2, I could care less and gave up. All in all, this movie was a cheap attempt at a remake of the Bollywood movie “Raaz 2 – The Mystery Continues” a 2009 Bollywood movie starring Emraan Hashmi and Kangna Ranaut
-Predictability: [1 out of 5] It’s really hard to predict a story-less movie
-Directing/Editing: [0 out of 5] Who was the mongo park responsible for writing this script? (wrong question) Was there even a script for this movie or was everyone just winging it? I honestly suspect that after reading the script, even the director was aware of the level of uselessness of this movie. Hence, his decision to fill the entire movie with ridiculous sex scenes.
-Acting quality: [1 out of 5] The only person wey try for this movie was Yvonne Nelson. Khareema was not bad and James Gardiner was not an absolute disaster in its entirety (that was Prince David). See! This is the reason why I dislike Prince David movies: no head, no tail, just unending rubbish. Notice the irony of the situation, Yvonne Okoro teams up with Prince David Osei in “Please Marry Me” and they produce a semi-hit. Yvonne Nelson teams up with same man and they produce the cacophonous monstrosity.
-Setting: [2 out of 5] 2 utterly ridiculous scenes: 1) Prince’s office. 2) The secret cult… I mean.. really?
-Costume/Make-Up: [2 out of 5] The ashawos were just taking whoring to a whole new level with their look (especially the zit faced one that was incapable of buttoning up her shirt). Only Yvonne could actually dress in this movie
-Props and Graphics: [1 out of 5] Two scenes.1) The secret cult scene (again!) 2) The so called painting of ‘Yvonne Nelson’ by James Gardiner that looked like every other female but Yvonne Nelson from what I could make out in the ridiculous lighting
-Video Quality: [2 out of 5] Ok
-Audio Quality [3 out of 5] Ok
-Soundtrack: [1 out of 5] Mostly a mash of stolen American songs for which credit was not given at the end
-Musical Score: [1 out of 5] Again! Stolen songs but not only that… somebody tell me the significance of Monica’s – Still Standing in a love scene or the significance of R.Kelly – Hands of time in a scene where Prince David is driving to work? No sadness… no depression… yet, they play a sad song.
