          The third season premiere of the Shonda Rhimes produced show, How to get away with murder starts with a body in a stretcher and we're not sure who it is. They waste no time in telling us that Frank is possibly the one who shot Wes's dad and he was on the run.          Fast forward four months to the beginning of the school year, Annalise's minions are back in her class and through flash backs, we are told how they all spent their summer. Laurel went to Mexico in May to visit her mother and Annalise believes she's going to see Frank which she swears she isn't. In the present day, Laurel is shown dialing Frank's number (those two can't let each other go) but he doesn't pick up.  Annalise Keating (Viola Davis)             In June, Connor is shown having some (very much needed) down time at the pool and he's joined by Annalise. He makes her p...

Spoiler Alert: This post contains details about Power's season 3 finale      Okay people, can we just pause for a few minutes and talk about the finale of Power? The finale titled "In my best Interest", comes with deaths, a kidnap and an arrest. Yes people, Ghost was finally slipped into handcuffs and I'm pretty sure we saw this coming, if not now then probably in the next season by his ex lover Angela Valdez (Lela Loren). After coming off as crazy to his colleagues, Greg Knox (Andy Bean) finally found out who killed Lobos and Ruiz but this ultimately led to his death. But can we all admit that we've seen this sort of scene in a lot of other movies, where someone finds out the truth about another person who is in his apartment at the same time and then tries to convince the guilty person that he knows the truth and that everything would be fine when the said guilty person knows it won't be fine for sure. This is exactly what happened to Greg, who ...

Release Poster It's her day is a movie about a couple from very different backgrounds on their way to tie the knot at the alter. The groom (Bovi) wants a simple wedding but the bride (Ini Dima-Okojie) wants an extravagant fairy tail wedding. I must admit, Bovi did a good one with this movie because it definitely surpassed my expectations. I expected it to be funny but not as hilarious as it was. The movie theater was filled with laughter from the first scene up till the credits rolled. In my opinion, the cast did a great job with their roles and delivered superb performances. It's her day is a total comedy package, one of the bests I've seen in a while from Nollywood and I have no doubt that it'll grab a lot of awards. Its her day is worth the time and money and i guarantee you wont have any regrets after seeing it. Director    Aniedi Anwah Writer       Bovi Ugboma Starring    Bovi Ugboma, Ini Dima-Okojie, Shaffy B...

Theatrical release poster The first time I saw the trailer for When the Bough Breaks, I was more than excited to see two of my favorite actors star in a suspense filled thriller, but I honestly felt like the movie wasn't what I expected (maybe I expected too much), but i didn't feel as excited as i was after seeing the trailer. John (Morris Chestnut) and Laura Taylor (Regina Hall) When the bough breaks is a movie about a couple, Laura (Regina Hall) and John (Morris chestnut) Taylor who after struggling for years to have kids finally decide to get a surrogate only to discover that the said surrogate, Anna Walsh (Jaz Sinclair) was a crazy person who became obsessed with John and wanted to kill Laura. Anna Walsh (Jaz Sinclair) and Laura Taylor (Regina Hall) I enjoyed this movie to an extent (even with the cliche story line) but I honestly felt like the writing and directing would have been better. The actors were totally on point (in my eyes ...

The miracle on the Hudson Theatrical release poster Sully is a biographical drama based on US Airways flight 1549 which had an emergency landing on January 15,2009 by Captain Chelsey Sullenberger on the Hudson River. Barely three minutes into the flight, the two engines failed after being hit by a flock of birds. To be honest, i never knew about this story until I saw the movie. I had goosebumps while watching it, realizing that it was a true story of how 155 people escaped death. Tom hanks portrayed Captain Chelsey Sullenberger while Aaron Eckhart played Co-Pilot Jeff Skiles Sully experiences PTSD after the landing of the plane in the Hudson coupled with the investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board who were against the fact that both plane engines failed mid air.
