South Africa’s Quizzical Pictures has commissioned eight-part crime series “Murder By The Sea.”
The series is set in Blaasgat, a fictional coastal town named after its giant blowhole. When Lennart Cato, a local man-made-good, is found dead inside a papier-mâché whale on the opening night of a new Whale Museum that he’s funding, the locals turn to town resident and retired old-school thespian Lawrence Mantooth for answers. Once famous for his 80s TV show, where he played detective Pericles van Breda, Lawrence has found that few locals see the line between actor and character and often call on him to help with their little mysteries. Now, with this crime on their doorstep, he’s viewed as the obvious person to find out whodunnit? However, the real detective in Blaasgat is the woman behind the man – Lawrence’s keenly observant wife, Dawn Mantooth-Solomon.

A Sunday Affair is a Nigerian romantic comedy movie directed by Walter Taylaur starring Dakore Egbuson, Nse Ikpe-Etim and Oris Erhuero.
A Sunday Affair is a classic romantic comedy that if you are trying to seek solace in the comfort of familiarity… this might do the trick. If you are looking for something a little more novel… carry on searching.
Sentimental, not much comedy and lots of sentiment in dialogues more than in situations, which don´t have much rhythm making the thing bog down before it has even started.
About the Movie
Netflix is an international company and this is what we like about it. We have in recent times, had the chance to see plenty of movies from Nigeria and there are better and worse ones and this one, unfortunately, is not one of the good ones.

February is for lovers. But with its list of new releases for February 2023, Netflix is unveiling another season of arguably its least romantic show.
That’s right: Joe is returning in You season 4 part 1 on Feb. 9. This time around our central stalker played by Penn Badgley is across the pond in jolly old England, living an unassuming life as a bearded professor and looking for his next target. If you don’t get your fill of You this month, stay tuned for the second part of season 4 in March.

The inaugural Jbx Content Market kicks off Feb. 1 in Johannesburg with a program focused on emerging trends in the African screen industries, as the new event looks to establish a foothold on a continent that has seen both its production and its ambitions steadily rise amid continued global demand for content.
Running parallel to the 5th edition of the Joburg Film Festival, which takes place Jan. 31 – Feb. 5, the two-day showcase will host a series of events with a range of South African, African and international guests, as well as a market area where exhibitors can present both finished content and projects looking for partners.
The goal, said Joburg Film Festival executive director Timothy Mangwedi, is to create “a new voice and a new platform for African filmmakers,” while offering international executives access to “fresh talent” that has its eyes set on the global market.
