Behind The Wheels (2017)

When I heard about this film and the plot, I felt it was something a lot of people needed to see but after watching, I can't say I feel the same way. Behind the Wheels follows the story of Jimoh, Elijah, their tanker driving crew and how they are constantly maltreated by those in authority while they take their trips. It also talks about how little they are paid and how things need to improve for them. When the first scene rolled in, I knew this movie wasn't going to be what I expected it to be. First, the plot had a very terrible flow. I understand that the writer was trying to pass across a message but it ended up being muddled up into one big pile of confusion.

They didn't need to go with the flashback technique. They tell us what happens to the main character 2 minutes into the film which would make almost anyone not interested in this movie. I'll confess, I almost left the theater 15 minutes in, but I was determined to stay till the end to see if it'll get better. News flash: it didn't. The main character, Jimoh didn't do justice to his role. I think another actor would have done a better job. The constant slow motion made everything annoying. The sound wasn't good in any way and it had poor visuals, although they did a good job with the fire stunt. Behind the Wheels had a good story but maybe with a better cast and script, it would have been better.

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
