Guardians of The Galaxy:Volume 2

Poster via imdb.com
I'm not crazy about science fiction movies, but I liked the first installment of Guardians of The Galaxy. I particularly like Chris Pratt as Peter Quill and Bradley Cooper as Rocket, so I was a bit skeptical about the sequel because I know most sequels aren't as good as their first films. Just like the first one, James Gunn focuses on the theme of friendship and family with a bit of humor. This time, the story focuses on Peter Quill as he meets his long lost biological father Ego, played by the fantastic Kurt Russell. Peter feels like he finally knows what exactly happened to his father and why he left, only to realize that Ego is evil and only needs his genetics to be able to rule the world. Together with Gamora, Rocket, Drax, Mantis, Nebula and Yondu, they eventually defeat Ego.

The movie had great sound effects and CGI which I felt was a bit too colorful, like it was designed by little kids. The cast had fantastic chemistry and each of them played important roles in the story. Nebula and Yondu played larger roles than they did in the first one. Guardians of The Galaxy is fun, exciting and filled with a lot of action to keep you on the edge of your seat. The whole story with Ego was just plain weird and crazy, but fun to watch. I wouldn't say it was better than the first one, maybe just as good. James Gunn, who wrote and directed the first and second installments has been slated to work on the third movie both as the writer and director.

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 cried for two episodes straight) which means

Review- Who's The Boss (2020)

Directed by Chinaza Onuzo, "Who's The Boss" follows Liah (Sharon Ooja) , an Advertising Executive who struggles to climb the cooperate ladder while juggling her mean and vindictive boss Hauwa (Funke Akindele- Bello). She takes the advice of her best friend Jumoke (Ini Dima-Okojie) and enlists her friend Lekan (Blossom Chukwujekwu), a known play boy into posing as her boss but ends up falling for him. It doesn't get any more cliche than this. After watching the first teaser for the Inkblot comedy, I was a little intrigued and looked forward to seeing how they were going to pull it off but sadly, it fell short in more ways than one. The biggest issue I had was the lead character and the actress cast to play it. Ooja has been typecast and I thought seeing her as the lead would show us a different side to the actress but my perception of her acting skills are worse than before. There's nothing worth remembering about this story and her acting did nothing to el

"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
