Review- Snatched (2017)

After her boyfriend dumps her on the eve of their exotic vacation, Emily Middleton (Amy Schumer) persuades her mother, Linda (Goldie Hawn) to travel with her to Ecuador. While on the trip, they get kidnapped and they realize that working through their differences as mother and daughter is the only way to escape the jungle adventure they have fallen into.To be honest, I never felt like this movie was going to be fantastic but I saw it with an open mind. The jokes were recycled and hearing the same vagina jokes from Schumer got really annoying. I've honestly never found her funny. I won't deny, I had a few laughs here and there but it wasn't anything worth remembering. It was also difficult to relate to the duo mostly because of the poor writing.

Even if Schumer was replaced with another actress, it still wouldn't have made the movie better. Hawn hasn't been on the silver screen in about 15 years and she ends up doing this? Everything about the film was poor and I struggled to sit till the end because there was really nothing exciting about the film. Hawn & Schumer had good chemistry but it was overshadowed by the poor script and plot. Save your money, don't bother seeing "Snatched" except it's from your laptop screen.

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
