Slow Country is an Action movie starring Ivie Okujaye as Kome, a single mother who gets trapped in the world of drug trafficking and prostitution. After 7 years of working for Tuvi (Sambasa Nzeribe), she decides to quit and live a better life but isn't able to because of the threat on her life by Tuvi. She crosses  paths with her son's father Osas (Tope Tedela) after losing contact 7 years ago and together try to stop Tuvi and his thugs.

Thumbs up to Nollywood for producing a good action movie which didn't seem as fake as the others. The gun shots looked and sounded real, the explosions seemed real and the blood also looked real. Although, I had a problem with the cinematography which was extremely dull and looked like it was produced in the early 2000s. Maybe it was lack of funds or they were trying to make it look a certain way but it didn't work out. The plot wasn't something so spectacular, because you could predict the end 15 minutes into the movie so don't go into the theater expecting to be blown away by a fantastic story. I'm a fan of Sambasa Nzeribe but I'm note sure how I feel about his role as Tuvi which won him and Africa Magic Viewers Choice Award for "Best Actor In a Drama". He seemed like he was counting his words sometimes and the gangster act looked too fake. Brutus Richard's Brasko even played a better gangster than him.

I think we need to talk about the use of the F word in Nollywood movies. It sounds weird and feels like they are doing too much. I wish Majid Michel had a more serious role instead of being a supporting actor. I don't think he was seen in up to ten scenes. Although Slow country wasn't as good as good as I thought it would be, it was a good movie.

Goodbye Mike & Rachel- Suits' Seventh Season Finale Review

  Suits is one of my favorite Legal Drama's and for some reason, I'm still very invested in the show after 7 seasons. I don't think they've had any bad season and they've done such a great job with the growth and development of the major characters but the time to say goodbye to Mike and Rachel was finally here. Due to the fact that Meghan Markle would be getting married to Prince Harry, I guess it was a good time to wrap up her love story with Mike and they do this with the fairy tale wedding we've all been waiting for. Mike and Rachel have been an item since the first season and have been engaged since the fifth. They would have been married a season ago but were not able to because of Mike's time in prison. I always loved their chemistry and I was so sad to see them say goodbye and more than anything, I loved Mike and Harvey's relationship. It was so genuine and pure. The two final episodes of the final season of Suits aired back to back and...

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...
