Ugandan-Dutch journalist and director Michiel van Oosterhout takes us back to the turbulent 70s through the music documentary film Bwana Jogoo: The Ballad of Jessy Gitta. The major subject of the film is Jessy Gitta Kasirivu, a charismatic musician who was in a love triangle with Idi Amin Dada and Sarah Kyolaba-a queen dancer. 

The film follows the Primm family as they relocate to New York City, but their young son, Josh (Winslow Fegley), struggles to adjust to his new surroundings, particularly school and making new friends. But everything changes when he meets Lyle (Shawn Mendes), a singing saltwater crocodile who lives in the attic and enjoys baths and good music.

Our curiosity is piqued by the Uganda Christian University mass communication students’ film, The Art of Teamwork and Sleepless Nights.

A short movie titled “My Degree” has been released by journalism students from Uganda Christian University (UCU). The film is a brief, captivating work whose central message emphasizes the value of humility in moral character and virtue, both of which are lacking in the majority of university students.

There are plenty of big, dumb action movies out there that can deliver thrills without taxing the mind. And then there are films that are so outrageously stupid that they transcend guilty pleasure and become a danger to themselves and those around them. Bullet Train is in the latter category. It’s so stupid that you wouldn’t trust it to cross the street alone, let alone navigate Japan’s Shinkansen high-speed rail network.
