Most people would suspect that Ebele would be terrified living in the same house with a dangerous mobster…to their surprise, this kid is the only person that can get away with being snarky with Anselm. Only them.

Ebele attends a prestigious school academy, and since word got out of them being adopted by Anselm, most of the rich kids in the school began to make fun of them because they assumed that Ebele was a charity case.

When Anselm heard of this, he was ready to unleash hell but he soon calmed down when Ebele told him what they said to those kids.

“I’m here because I’m on a scholarship. The school wanted me, y’all on the other hand had to use your mummies and daddies money to get in.” (Anselm has never been so proud before.)

Due to a concerning amount of disposing bodies, Ebele makes sure that Anselm murder streak isn’t always ongoing. So they try their best to intimidate guests to keep them alive…though the guests feel like they’re just being intimated by a kitten trying to roar at them so they laugh it off. (They soon regret it when they feel a certain someone glaring daggers at them.)

Anselm owns a theater room in his mansion, so sometimes when him and Ebele aren’t do anything, they’ll be binge watching old Victorian movies together while calling out some of the historical inaccuracies.

You know those videos of kittens/puppies struggling to stay awake…yeah that’s Ebele when they try to stay up watching a movie with Anselm late at night. They get super snuggly too.

It’s precious for Anselm to watch his little one try not to doze off, their eyes half-lidded and cheeks probably squished against his shoulder. They both sleep in the theater room for the night. (It’s a habit.)

Even after getting adopted, Ebele still kept their all of their old clothes, it didn’t matter how worn or torn they were or how many times that Anselm insisted to buy them new ones. Ebele declined his favors, if it was still wearable, they were keeping it.

Anselm doubles the maids payment for them to knit Ebele’s old worn out clothes with pretty star designs because he knows how much his kid hyper fixates on constellations.

Ebele has a large collection of old stuffed animals, pretty miscellaneous knick-knacks and charms that they hoard in their room.

Yes, they do have names for their stuffed animals. Anselm knows them all by their first and last names.

Anselm watches every fencing match that his kid attends in. He’s their loudest cheerleader. His security guards hold cheering posters for them in every match. Ebele tries not to get flustered easily and focus on their opponent. (They appreciate their papa’s support.)

These two try to the take time to learn each other’s native language. Ebele struggles with some words in German while Anselm struggles with rolling his r’s in Latin Spanish. It’s the thought that counts. (Ebele is mixed, they’re Nigerian/Ghanian & Dominican.)

Anselm mostly calls Ebele, ‘little one’, but his nicknames for them is baby bird, sweet one, Schatzi, dove, angel, his little Liebchen.

Ebele calls him, Vog, overlord, wheezy (their way to poke fun at him.), Apa, Pai, and Papa or Vati but only when they’re really tired.

Anselm adores Ebele with his entire body and soul, he doesn’t care if they are his blood or not. They’re his treasure.

Just found out about Ghanian Movie Posters which were fully hand painted posters designed to advertise movies. Artists had a lot of freedom to chose what to paint, so a lot of scenes are changes/added in just to make the poster look more interesting! Here's one for the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

NB Review

Ok, first confession, this is a Ghanian film which I only discovered after I started watching the film. What attracted me to the film was Kimberly Elise who is one of my favourite actors. ’Ties That Bind’ starts with Buki arriving at at a small village to start a practice as a doctor. She incidentally runs into Adobea (Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde) who happens to be an ex-school mate. My initial reaction to the opening sequence was 'oh no, its only going downhill from here’ but was impressed it did not descend into a waste of time. My only criticism of the story is that the male characters could have been given a bit more to do rather than just be there as spouses. The film deals with some heavy issues through out the film and I was quite impressed with the story (given my first impression). The two main characters had depth and were beautifully played Ama Abebrese and Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, the one place I felt let down was with Kimberly Elise’s character, she had very little to do in the whole film other than mover the story along. Yes she had a bit of emotional torment but when you bring an actor of that calibre to screen with little or nothing to do, it feels more like a cameo role, which is not bad in itself, except that she was top billed on the poster. My guess is she was there for bums on the seat rather than for her part which is a shame. Omotola on the other hand was a revelation for me. I have not seen her much (if at all) on screen and I was wowed! Her acting was beautiful, well paced and not at all on the surface. (SPOILER ALERT) There is a scene when she is told to undress in front of her inlaws, she takes a glance at her husband and looks straight on into the lens of the camera, it was a cinematic moment, I will definitely be looking out for more of her work. This leads me to the directing. It was mostly good but I would stop shy of saying it great. The film had good rhythm, and had a subtly nice, though unexplained, touch to the end. In all I enjoyed it, nothing quite stood out (apart from Omotola’s acting) but nothing as quite bad either and would say its worth a watch. http://nollywoodboulevard.com/movie/ties-that-bind/
