He and his team of lifeguards Stephanie Holden (IIfenesh Hadera), Summer Quinn (Alexandra Daddario), CJ Parker (Kelly Rorhbach) and Ronnie Greenbaum (Jon Bass) work together to save lives on the beach.

I think all the actors did excellent jobs, I particularly loved watching Priyanka Chopra as the villain. Each character developed as the movie progressed and it also had a few funny scenes. With Seth Gordon (Horrible Bosses, Identity Thief) as the director, I actually expected it to be funnier and more entertaining. The cinematography was perfect and almost everyone in this film is seen with a swimsuit except Priyanka Chopra who looks amazing as usual in all her scenes. I wish she had more screen time. There's a cameo from original Baywatch casts David Hasselhoff and Pamela Anderson. Hannibal Buress also has a small role in the film. This movie wasn't made for the critics to love, it's a feel good comedy film which I enjoyed watching.

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
