Game of Thrones Season Seven Episode 1 Review: Dragonstone

After so many months of waiting, the seventh season of HBO's Game of Thrones premiered last night, July 16. Personally, I've been anticipating the return of this show and I couldn't be more excited to see The Lannister's, Starks, White Walkers and The Mother of Dragons back on my screen. So as we all know, Winter is finally here. Since the first season, most of what the characters talked about was the arrival of winter. The last season set in motion the activities that took place in the premiere. The opening scene, which included Arya murdering those involved in The Red Wedding, was very very shocking and satisfying to watch. It's obvious that Arya is out for blood and back on her kill list. She looked really bad ass walking away from the bodies.

Jon Snow is now the King of The North with Sansa by his side, Bran is now The Three Eyed Raven and Sam works in a Library at The Citadel. Sam has not been one of my favorite characters but he might be a part of something big soon. That creepy hand in a cell already confirms it. I kind of feel bad for Jamie because it seems like he doesn't agree with what his sister is doing. This is definitely going to be a problem in the near future. 
Euron Greyjoy, who killed his brother and took over The Iron Islands last season really seems like a crazy person. He has no remorse whatsoever killing his brother. His scene really cracked me up and I think he'll make a perfect team with Cersei.

Brienne and Tormund Giantsbane might have a sort of relationship soon but how does this benefit any of the characters? I guess we'll find out soon. I'm happy with the fact that The Hound didn't actually die and I'm really curious to see where his story line leads us. Did we catch that Ed Sheeran cameo? Amazing right? I thought we would see more of Daenerys since the episode is named "Dragon Stone" but it was not so. She, her entourage and her Dragons have finally crossed the Narrow Sea to the ancestral home of The Targaryan's. The episode ended with her saying "Can we begin?" and we know what she means by that right? There are few questions that need to be answered this season. What is Little Finger up to? Will Cersei murder more people? Will Bran get to Jon and Sansa? Game of Throne's will come to an end after the eight season and there are discussions for a possible spinoff. A new episode airs on Sunday, July 23.

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

The movie starts with us meeting Mike Williams (Mark Wahlberg), his wife Felicia (Kate Hudson) and their daughter.

They all board the helicopter and are taken to Deepwater Horizon. At the rig, there's a lot of talk and conversation about the condition of the rig. Caleb Holloway (Dylan O'Brien) and Mike Williams (Mark Wahlberg)  The BP executive, Donald Vidrine (John Malkovich) doesn't support the tests ordered by Mr. Jimmy and some of the employees including Jason Anderson (Ethan Suplee), Caleb Holloway (Dylan O'Brien) and Andrea Fleytas (Gina Rodriguez) are also very concerned about
