S?x in a wrong context is like pornography but if it is in the right context, it becomes an art. These are some of the little things which are lacking in our films,\u201d he told KMJ.<\/p>\n<p>Nana Obiri Yeboah argued that one of the surest ways to improve the quality of movies was proper scripts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the whole downturn of this Ghanaian film industry is all because of some of the movies we put on screens\u2026 Sometimes I\u2019m not able to watch our films. The dialogue is like the talking plot. You don\u2019t write the script as a plot,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The Cursed Ones\u2019 won three awards [Best Director, Best Cinematography and Best in Production Design] out of thirteen nominations at the 12th edition of the AMAAs held at the Obi Wali International Conference Center in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>The movie tells the story of a disillusioned reporter and a young, reformed pastor\u2019s attempt to save the life of a child accused of witchcraft by bravely fighting back against corruption and false prophets.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 31 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Friday, 7 October 2016 Source: abrantepa.com 2016-10-07 Nana Obiri Yeboah Nana Obiri Yeboah, director of award-winning film, \u2018The Cursed Ones\u2019 has noted with concern the use of s?x scenes anyhow in Ghanaian movies.
