Review- Geostorm (2017)

The governments of the world unite to create a program named "Dutch Boy" which surrounds the planet and is designed to save earth from natural disasters. After three years of protecting the planet, something goes wrong and it's left to two estranged brothers to solve the problem before a world wide geostorm occurs. After watching the trailer for Geostorm, I already knew what was going to happen. It's the same with most disaster films, but I saw it anyway. It's filled with so much CGI that I started having headaches from all the lights and explosions. Although, I'll admit that the special effects were really good. I don't think there's any point making more disaster films because they all end up being the same, nothing new or out of the ordinary. The worst thing about Geostorm was the storyline which was filled with really terrible dialogues that would only make you laugh out loud and wonder why they made these actors star in such a film. The reason for blowing up the planet didn't make any sense and the conspiracy sounded so ridiculous.

Geostorm is the same with every disaster film. The good guy has a daughter that doesn't want him to leave, there's a bad guy in the government, there's an Asian tech guy, a lot of explosions, buildings collapsing and a lot of casualties. At some point, the good guy decides to do something that could kill him but save the planet and he goes ahead with it. He saves the planet and almost gets killed but is surprisingly saved by someone and of course he lives. The heroes never die. There's a really cliche love story somewhere in the story too. I forgot to add that the US & China were leading the program. Surprise surprise! There's also a Nigerian with a terrible accent. It's not compulsory you see Geostorm because you'll definitely leave the theater not as excited as you were an hour 49 minutes earlier. Save your money or see it from your laptop or TV 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
