Spiderman:Homecoming (2017)

Going into the theater, I knew Homecoming was going to be really good and what I watched matched my expectations. Tom Holland replaces Andrew Garfield as the new Spiderman who is trying to balance his life as a high school student and a superhero. After fighting with the Avengers, Peter goes back to his life as a student but he wants to prove to himself and to his mentor Tony Stark/Iron Man that he can fight more dangerous crimes instead of just being the friendly neighborhood superhero. He comes in contact with The Vulture (Michael Keaton) and he looks for every means necessary to bring him and his organization down.

This new film takes us back to when Spiderman was just a regular innocent and naive teenager.

To be honest I was a bit skeptical about Tom Holland playing the iconic superhero, but he delivered on every level. He was born for this role. Michael Keaton is such an amazing actor, he played his role as the villain Vulture so well even though I kind of wished he was more evil than he was. This course worked well because it was Keaton playing the role of the villain. I doubt it would have been better with another actor. Robert Downey Jr as Iron Man was awesome as usual. We see just enough of him to make the film more interesting and not look like he's taking the spotlight away from Holland. The action scenes and the CGI were amazing, but I didn't expect anything less from a Marvel movie.

The way this film was written makes it stand out from every other Spiderman movie. It's different, but in a good way and I enjoyed watching from the first scene till the credits rolled. The humor, which I think was one of the best things about this film wasn't forced in any way by the characters. I loved everything about this film and I definitely can't wait to see the next one. Stop reading and go see it now if you're yet to.

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
