I like kumawood movies because of the moral lessons. Movies like Kumasi Y)nko), As)reba, and )tanhunu are examples.

The producers need to invest in it by buying modern digital cameras. The ones that the hips life musicians use. Like dogo yaro music video for instance.

Yes, majority of us would watch kumawood movies 10 times over than these so called ghallywood movies with their fake accents, horrible acting and ridiculous costume. You find Jackie Appiah dressed in dinner outfits and 8 inch heels whilst at home.. Who wears high heels at home? Kumawood actors are natural, no fake acting and costume. Instead of looking them on the local language film industry the so called 'enlightened' and 'sophisticated' fake accent English speaking industry should learn from them to identify what they are doing right.

The kumawood. Movies gat some Amaizing. Story lines. They just deal with real grassroots. Problems in our life n. Culture. Whoever writes these stories r just. Genuinely genius. Sometimes. I believe they r true stories. N their. Actors. R good n. Funny. The. Hate men n their. Outfits. my only. Problem is. Spreading. Of. Voodoo parts in their. Movies its rediculous l. Hate those parts. They could. D replaced with. Pray for me. Consulting. Too much voodoo stuff it. Portrays negative image of Akans like every time they have problem they should use a fetish priest which l doubt. Is true. Most. Akans. R Christians n this's parts r insulting. I do skip those parts l don't want my children. Exposed to that voodoo. Shit
