Review- Idahosa Trails (2017)

Image via imdb.com
Idahosa Trails is a faith based film about an American journalist, Thomas Book (David Schifter) who set out to interview the deceased preacher Benson Idahosa in Benin City, Nigeria. This journey leads him to a few discoveries about himself and the archbishop. I was actually looking forward to seeing Idahosa Trails mostly because it had to do with Benin City but it fell flat in more ways than one and I wish I never saw it. It was boring and filled with so many unnecessary scenes that lasted longer that they were supposed to. I didn't like the cast and I don't think David Schifter was the right person for this role. role. It also felt like Kunle Idowu was doing too much. I love Osas Ajibade but there was something really off about her acting because she looked really stiff. It seemed like she was counting her words.

I liked the fact that they used a lot of Benin songs in the soundtrack but the film still felt really dull. I kept looking at my watch because I couldn't wait to leave the theater. Although, I'll commend director, Stanlee Orjk 
for interviewing the real people that experienced the miracles. That must have taken a lot of time and resources. I really wanted to like Idahosa Trails, by unfortunately I didn't.

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
