BENG! BENG,!BENG! like Femi Kuti sang, is the new trend in the Ghanaian movie industry.
A series of moans and groans, oohs and aahs, naked bodies, caressing and thrusting are the highlights of these productions.
We all agree that sex sells as has been proven by the success of Hollywood, but Ghanaian movies are more brazen than any hollywood production we have seen.
In a series of latest blockbuster releases, it seems that Ghanaian directors are veering from African norms with ranges of homosexual scenes and one movie that is entirely based on men in love.
Now we are not talking about the backstreet 'shamefull' variety but about real mainstream movies. but to be fair to Ghana, there are quite a number of Nigerian actors in these movies.
Nollywood which is ranked no.3 after Hollywood and Bollywood, is largely assocoated with Nigerian movies, but with this new genre in Ghana, all we can say is "watch out Nigeria!' With changing trends and Africa succumbing to the call of wild abandonment, Ghana just may become the Kings of Nollywood.
It all boils down to this: Sex sells...and If sex sells, then that's what's going to be served!
