The Person on the Other End of the Line

January always feels like a fresh start, so why not add some new movies to kick things off? This January, Showmax has lined up a mix of dramas, thrillers, and emotional movies that will keep you hooked from start to finish. Here are five unmissable picks to kick off the new year:
THE LAST RIFLEMAN| STREAM NOW
The Last Rifleman, inspired by true events, stars Pierce Brosnan as a WWII veteran who escapes his care home to journey to France for the 75th D-Day anniversary, confronting his past with courage.
Featuring Clémence Poésy, Jürgen Prochnow, and the late John Amos, the film earned Brosnan and Prochnow Irish Film and Television Award nominations for their powerful performances.

DUNE: PART TWO| STREAM NOW
The epic saga continues with Dune: Part Two, the fourth biggest box office hit of 2024.
Paul Atreides embarks on a mythic journey of revenge, uniting with Chani and the Fremen to fight those who destroyed his family. Torn between the love of his life and the fate of the universe, Paul must make a choice that could change the course of history.
With a 92% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes, The New York Times commends the palpable chemistry between Oscar nominee Timothée Chalamet and Emmy winner Zendaya, stating, “They humanise the story, giving it the necessary personal stakes and a warmth that helps balance the chilling violence.”

ONE LIFE | STREAM NOW
One Life is a powerful historical drama based on the true story of Nicholas Winton, a London broker who rescued hundreds of Jewish children from the Nazis during WWII. Decades later, he faces the emotional weight of those he couldn’t save when a TV show reunites him with survivors.
Starring Anthony Hopkins, Johnny Flynn, Helena Bonham Carter, and Jonathan Pryce, the film holds a 90% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The Guardian calls it “an extraordinary true story” and a deeply moving watch.

Classic Car Club of Nigeria Marks 10th Anniversary with ‘Nostalgic Lagos’ at Lagos Polo Club

        The Classic Car Club of Nigeria has celebrated its 10th anniversary with Nostalgic Lagos, a classic car exhibition held on October 1 at the Lagos Polo Club, Ikoyi, as part of activities marking Nigeria’s Independence Day. The event brought together classic car collectors, enthusiasts, families, friends and distinguished guests for a celebration of vintage automobiles and the memories, history and heritage associated with them. Organised around the theme of nostalgia and heritage, the event featured an impressive collection of classic automobiles, alongside a drive and showcase, fashion and style, and family-oriented activities. The celebration provided guests with an opportunity to view some of the country’s cherished vintage vehicles while connecting with the stories behind them. Speaking at the event, Yomi Badejo-Okusanya, a classic car collector and one of the event’s sponsors, said the vehicles represented more than their physical and mechanical value, noting that many were connected to personal memories and significant moments in people’s lives. “For some of us, it’s nostalgic. We carry fond memories of some of those cars. Some of them took us to school, some of them were driven by our parents, some by our uncles, and some of them we owned when we started. So every car has a history and tells a story. That’s the most important thing.” Badejo-Okusanya, who described himself as a storyteller and public relations consultant, stressed the importance of preserving the history represented by the vehicles. “You must treasure heritage, treasure tradition. There can’t be a future without a history. So this is the history that we carry here.” He added that every vehicle at the exhibition had a story, pointing to his own Mercedes-Benz, which he described as “Obokun,” and recalling its significance during the period when it was introduced in Nigeria. “Every single one has a history and I can tell you the history, the story. Every single one has a story.” According to him, the appeal of classic cars extends beyond ownership, as the vehicles provide an opportunity for people to reconnect with different periods of Nigeria’s history and share experiences across generations. Dapo Otunla, Chairman and Co-founder of the Classic Car Club of Nigeria, said the Club’s activities have continued to bring together people who share a passion for classic automobiles, including enthusiasts who do not own vintage cars themselves. “It’s the kind of thing where we come together with our cars, friends and affiliates. Even people who don’t own cars join us. We just enjoy the time, admire the cars and share experiences,” Otunla said. Founded in 2016, the Classic Car Club of Nigeria has grown over the past decade into a community of more than 120 members, organising classic car drives, exhibitions and social gatherings that promote the appreciation and preservation of vintage automobiles. The anniversary celebration also highlighted the role of classic cars in preserving Nigeria’s motoring heritage. Many of the vehicles displayed at Nostalgic Lagos were once familiar sights on Nigerian roads and remain associated with different generations and periods of the country’s social history. The Club has also continued to advocate for greater recognition of classic motoring as part of Nigeria’s cultural and tourism offering, with Otunla previously calling for increased support to develop classic car exhibitions and activities across Nigeria and the wider West African region. Nostalgic Lagos was particularly significant as it coincided with Nigeria’s Independence Day, providing an opportunity for guests to reflect on the country’s journey while celebrating vehicles that have formed part of its history....
