Review- Justice League (2017)

Image via imdb.com
    Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) enlists the help of Diana Prince (Gal Gadot) to face an oncoming invasion. Together, they recruit Aquaman (Jason Momoa), Cyborg (Ray Fisher) and The Flash (Ezra Miller) to help take down Steppenwolf and stop him from destroying the earth. So, I was really looking forward to seeing Justice League and hoping it wasn't going to be as terrible as Batman Vs. Superman. To be honest, I didn't really like Wonder Woman so I wasn't expecting too much from this film. The acting was really good and the chemistry between the cast was superb. I was mostly into Jason Momoa as Aquaman and I can't wait for his solo film. There was nothing remarkable about the action scenes but they were  entertaining and fun to watch. I loved every scene with Superman (Henry Cavill) although, it was obvious that his mustache was digitally erased.

   Ezra Miller as The Flash was alright, but I found most of his jokes flat and just silly. At some point, it felt like he was doing too much. Gal Gadot is flawless as Wonder Woman and Ray Fisher does a good job as Cyborg. I'm not the biggest fan of Ben Affleck because he usually seems so stiff and uninterested in the movies and characters he plays. It was no different here. No movie is perfect and Justice League had its flaws. The plot was a bit weak and very predictable. How awful was the villain? I can't be the only one who feels that way about Steppenwolf, there was nothing scary or exciting about him. Justice League was a CGI fest with some action scenes looking like a weird video game. I guess they listened to the critics because the cinematography wasn't as dark as Dawn of Justice and I was happy with it. Some of the dialogue was terrible and we know how cliché superhero movies can be but the dialogue could have been better. The final battle isn't the type that would bring you to the edge of your seat or have you heart racing and I was underwhelmed by the score. Even with the flaws, Justice League was an entertaining film and it might just save the DC Universe. There were two post credits scenes which I absolutely loved so don't be in a hurry to leave the theater. I'm actually looking forward to the sequel which may premiere in 2019. Well done DC!

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
