It can be hard to tell orcs apart at first. The fictional
giants of the "Warcraft" video game franchise all
have mean faces, protruding tusks and muscles so
massive, they make The Rock look puny.
So it may take a while for non-gamers to figure out
who's who in the battle of orcs and humans at the
center of the "Warcraft " film, which complicates an
already dense mythology. Once it becomes clear
that there's a civil war within the orc race about
whether to eliminate or align with the humans, the
big-screen adaptation from director and co-writer
Duncan Jones is a little easier to understand.
For anyone unfamiliar with the fantasy game's
characters and story lines, "Warcraft" is little more
than eye candy, a visual spectacle with a backbone
of well-trod genre tropes. There's just no way to
become as invested during a two-hour movie as a
gamer who's spent years, maybe even decades,
immersed in the rituals and traditions of the worlds
of "Warcraft."
Plus, the humanoid orcs rely on so much digital
animation to come alive that at times the whole
movie looks like a video game, which obviously
suits the material here but can still take a little
getting used to visually. (This critic's screening was
in IMAX 3-D.) And it is certainly a spectacle, with
elaborate castles, armies of angry orcs and a villain
who dramatically sucks the life from his victims,
leaving them shriveled and deformed.
Voiceover at the start of the film explains that
humans and orcs have been at war for ages. The
orc planet is dying, so they're out to colonize new
territory, which they access when their ruler,
Gul'dan (Daniel Wu), uses his powers to open a
magic portal. The escaping orc clans storm in and
kill everything. One clan leader, Durotan (Toby
Kebbell), is a rebel. He questions Gul'dan's
destructive approach and suspects he may be
relying on evil forces, which, of course, he is.

Orcs are invading the world of Azeroth when the
leader of the humans, King Llane (Dominic Cooper),
gets word of their imminent arrival. He turns to his
top warrior, commander of Azeroth's military forces
Lothar (a smoldering Travis Fimmel), and top
wizard, Guardian Medivh (Ben Foster), controller of
Azeroth's magical powers.
They capture an orc-human hybrid, Garona (Paula
Patton wearing disturbing prosthetic teeth), who
serves as a bridge between the two species — and
instantly catches Lothar's romantic eye.
Meanwhile, young magician Khadgar (Ben
Schnetzer) endears himself to the operation when
he discovers evidence of an evil force lurking in the
human kingdom.
Containing this powerful energy is ultimately the
theme of film, as it is of so many fantasy, superhero
and sci-fi stories. It's like the Force or the Ring or
the Infinity Gauntlet or the Allspark. Only the force
in "Warcraft," called "the fell," is purely wicked, so
evil it can consume the good — perhaps an allusion
to Biblical notions of "the fall."
The "Warcraft" mythology is extensive and rich, as
it would have to be to sustain five video games and
a series of novels. That's a lot of lore to pack into
one movie, though this film is clearly set up for a
sequel should the audience demand it.
Without the franchise backstory, "Warcraft" is a
big-budget fantasy-action film with lots of large-
scale, epic fight scenes between Mr. Olympia-sized
aliens and regular humans. When an orc throws a
horse at one point, it's almost more painful than
when a character dies, since the moviegoer's
connection with the characters is so superficial.
As escapist summer fare, "Warcraft" works
because the action is ample and the orcs look cool,
with pierced tusks and spiked armor evoking a
"Mad Max" aesthetic, even if it isn't always easy to
tell them apart.
"Warcraft," a Legendary Pictures release, is rated
PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America
for "extended sequences of intense fantasy
violence." Running time: 123 minutes. Two stars out
of four.

Popoular Nollywood actress, Patience Ozokwor,
popularly known as Mama G, is now born again and
now goes about, preaching in various churches and
crusades.
She became famous in the entertainment industry
as a result of how well she plays her roles
especially as either a wicked mother-in-law or
stepmother.
Following her new found faith, Patience Ozokwor
has abandoned her old ways of dressing. No more
make-up, trousers, dreadlocks and even her
popular name Mama G. Against the backdrop of her
renewed zeal for God, many of her fans are afraid
that she may take a bow from the movie industry.
Starttells caught up with the actress at a crusade
organised by St. Marks Anglican Church in Eziobodo
Village of Imo State, where she shared her salvation
experience. According to her, she normally
organised a personal retreat for herself in the first
few days of the new year.
When it was time to have her 2016 retreat, she
heard the voice of the Holy Spirit telling her to fast
for 21 days, she complained that she had so many
projects to handle, endorsements and movies to
shoot within that period, and the Lord extended it to
a 30 days fast due to her complaints.

Patience Ozokwor, aka Mama G, Now Born Again
During this fasting period, The Lord revealed to her
how she will be a voice for him all over the world,
how people’s attention will be channeled from her
image on Nollywood to the Gospel. She said one of
the things God warned her on was her dressing and
appearance.
She said that putting on makeup, wearing jewelry
and putting on trousers as a lady is wrong, and she
also said that she has been preaching to colleagues
in Nollywood, but God told her to put off her dreads,
to stop wearing jewelries and trousers, that she
could have gone to hell, if she died December 31,
2015 despite the preaching she’s been doing, just
because of her appearance.
She asked the Holy Spirit to prove to her, give
strong reasons why that was a sin, and Spirit of God
replied that she should browse about it, that
testimonies of personal revelations God gave to
people are all over the internet, and all of them are
saying virtually the same thing, that she should find
those information to help her life.
When asked if she will quit Nollywood, Patience
Ozokwor explained that the Holy Spirit has not
specifically directed her to quit or to not quit. She
said that she has not shot any movie since that
encounter in January, that she used to get an
average of N1.5 million weekly, but that God has
miraculously been providing her daily bread.

Punishing Ibinabo For Her Wickedness”
She warned that it will be harder for her colleagues
in the movie industry, with permanent tattoos and
eyebrows when they eventually encounter Christ.
She also said that she should stop being referred to
as Mama G, as that name was for when she was in
the world.
A look at Mummy Patience will tell you that really,
something has happened!
Two gunmen disguised as ultra-Orthodox Jews
carried out a terror attack in a Cafe at Tel Aviv,
Israel yesterday killing four people of which one
was a four year old girl and injured six others.
Israeli police have described the shooting as an
apparent attack aimed against Israelis.
CCTV footage revealed the moment customers
desperately ran for their lives to escape the
gunmen, who opened fire at random with machine
guns at the Max Brenner restaurant in the centre
of the Israeli city.
The attack has prompted the Israeli military to
declare that they will revoke all permits for
Palestinians to visit Israel and travel abroad during
the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.
After the attacks the leader of Hamas, Ismail
Haniyeh took to Twitter to express his delight over
the deadly shooting in Tel Aviv. Posting from
Gaza, he wrote: 'Glory and salutations to the
Hebronites'. He followed the post with the victory
sign emoji.
One of the suspects was caught and stripped off
his clothes to be sure he wasn't wearing
explosives, while another suspect is believed to be
on the run.
