Mr & Mrs: Chapter 2 (2017)


Image via medianigeria.com
        Mr & Mrs: Chapter 2 finally hit cinema on April 21, 2017 and it really didn't live up to expectations. The first installment starring Nse Ikpe Etim & Joseph Benjamin graced our screens in 2012 and everyone loved it, I saw it like three times. The story line together with the impeccable acting of the cast members made this movie worth watching over and over again. The same cannot be said for Chapter 2. It starred Chidi Mokeme and one of my favorites, Rita Dominic. Directed by Teco Benson, this movie has a totally different story line and involves three couples. Although, it still had the marriage theme just like the first one. The first couple Kobi (Chidi Mokeme) and Sharon are trying to save their marriage while having financial issues. Their kids are also getting involved in dangerous activities. After his father's issue with the EFCC causes all their assets to be frozen, the family starts depending on the salary of Sharon. Kobi eventually tells her to quit her job to take care of her family. The second couple Zola (Munachi Abii) has been in a relationship with her boyfriend Timi for five years and just after he proposes to her, she finds out that he has a seven year old daughter with a baby mama in Ghana. Then there's Kobi's father, Senator Dede who gets married to a much younger woman after divorcing Kobi's mom, Ranke. Ranke comes up with different lies to try and get her husband back. 
     This movie has so many issues, I don't think I'll be able to write down each of them. The fact that it had very little publicity was already a huge problem. The production of this movie was really poor, why do they cut the scenes after a few seconds ? It seemed like the characters were not done talking. There were also a lot of 5 second scenes which were very questionable and completely irrelevant to the plot. One example is of Zola and Timi talking about their wedding and all of a sudden they are shown running upstairs with a tablet. There was no build up to the scene, they literally just skipped from one scene to the other. The movie also talked about the issue of lesbianism and drug abuse but left the viewers hanging by not exploring these topics properly. What was the whole point of including it in the story line? I can't help but compare this movie to the first one and even with the soundtrack, it still didn't feel the same. A few of the cast mates weren't totally great with their scenes but Munachi really did well considering the fact that this is one of her first movies. It was a total waste of amazing actors like Chidi Mokeme and Rita Dominic. Immediately the credits rolled, literally everyone in the theater kissed their teeth. I was a bit surprised because I thought I was the only one not feeling the movie. I don't think they would have bothered making this movie, it didn't live up to the first one in any way.

SUITS: Season 6 finale

        The 6th season of suits has been quite an emotional one with Mike's would be wedding with Rachel, his going to Prison and Rachel's death row case. Death row cases can get really sad especially if the suspect is innocent which was the case of Leonard Bailey (Glenn Plummer) who was accused of murdering two people. After staying behind bars for 12 years, Leonard Bailey was finally exonerated with the help of Rachel and Jessica (Gina Torres). During this episode, a major character said goodbye to the show. Gina Torres decided to leave Suits to film another TV Show 'Catch' and it was quite emotional. This episode showed a different side of Jessica Pearson, she put her pro Bono case first before the firm and fought for the freedom of Leonard Bailey.          Gina Torres will no longer be a series regular and I was happy her character wasn't killed off like Will Gardner in the Good Wife, (I c...

"Don't Tell Mama"- The Shocking Sharp Objects Season Finale

   Sharp Objects easily tops the list of my all time favorite TV Series. The HBO Limited Series aired it eight and final episode last night and it's something I'll probably never forget. I'm trying so hard to find the right words to describe this amazing show and the phenomenal acting from Amy Adams, Patricia Clarkson and Eliza Scanlen. They were just too perfect. Throughout the season, we've all been trying to figure out who the killer was in this whodunnit and I had so many theories. I never believed it was John Keene because most times, it's always the person you least expect that'll end up being the perpetrator. My first suspect was Alan (Henry Czerny), Adora's husband and Amma's father. I thought the only reason he would venture out to killing teenage girls was due to the fact that he was no longer as had a bond with his daughter and his loveless marriage but I was so wrong. Then I thought it was the Police Chief, Bill who was in cahoots with Ado...

Chicago Justice: Series Premiere/Crossover Episode-"Fake"

Image via imdb.com I looked forward to seeing Chicago Justice after it was announced because I love the One Chicago universe even though I'm yet to see the other shows, i'm very familiar with their stories and characters. I'm a crazy fan of Chicago PD so I'm going to binge watch all the episodes of Chicago Fire, but I don't think I'll be able to see Chicago Med. Medical shows are too emotional for me. With Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, I don't know where to start from, but I'll binge watch from season one to eighteen whenever I can for sure.  The four part crossover started with an episode on Chicago Fire and concluded in the season premiere of Chicago Justice. There is a fire at a warehouse and the Chicago Fire crew think it's an accident but Severide (Taylor Kinney) finds metal wedges shoved under the door which means whoever started the fire wanted everyone trapped inside, so its arson. Image via nbc.com The warehouse was a spot...
