Review- Memoirs Of 4 (2018)




Memoirs of 4 follows Teni (Adesua Etomi), Mariam (Linda Ejiofor), Sholape (Keira Hewatch) and Chika (Christine Godfrey) as they try to balance their friendship and relationships while struggling with the pressures from the society. I never saw a trailer or any form of promotion for Memoirs of 4 but I decided to see it anyways and to be very honest, I was completely disappointed. Etomi, Ejiofor and Hewatch did well with their roles but even their acting couldn’t bring life to this film. The acting from some of the cast members looked forced and the cinematography was a bit poor. The sound was terrible because it kept going off almost after every sentence. The entire film lasted 2 hours but it felt way longer than that mostly due to the fact that they had a lot of unnecessary scenes with a some of them being longer than they should be. 


It also had a very horrible flow. It’s like they jumped from A to G then C and back to A. A lot of these scenes were very unrealistic and confusing. The character development was one of the worst things about this film and the time jumps didn’t make it better. It’s not just about throwing in a few popular faces into a film, the story, cinematography and the general flow of the film plays a huge role in making a film worth watching. Unfortunately, this is one film that failed to deliver in a lot of ways.


RATING 3/10
SCREENPLAY Arinola Odumayo 
DIRECTOR Alex Mouth
STARRING Adesua Etomi, Linda Ejiofor, Blossom Chukujekwu, Keira Hewatch

"Who Killed Julia Montague?"- Bodyguard Finale

BBC's Bodyguard has been one of the most satisfying series I've seen so far, this year. Over six episodes, they delivered a Limited Series that kept you on the edge of your seat and wondering what was next for Richard Madden's David Budd. David meets up with Julia's PA, Chanel, who was fired in the first episode because he was suspicious of her involvement in the bombings and he was right. She had a hand in it. Chanel set David up and he ended up getting ambushed and kidnapped by the leader of the criminal group, Luke Aitkens. The police are finally  able to piece the puzzle and they findd out that the ex-soldier who tried to shoot Julia was David's friend and this raises an alarm. They're convinced that Budd was indeed behind the bombing. Budd wakes up alone and realizes that he is strapped to a bomb vest with his thumb taped to the activating button. He is unaware that he is currently being investigated by the police and uses someone's phone to call for...

Goodbye Mike & Rachel- Suits' Seventh Season Finale Review

  Suits is one of my favorite Legal Drama's and for some reason, I'm still very invested in the show after 7 seasons. I don't think they've had any bad season and they've done such a great job with the growth and development of the major characters but the time to say goodbye to Mike and Rachel was finally here. Due to the fact that Meghan Markle would be getting married to Prince Harry, I guess it was a good time to wrap up her love story with Mike and they do this with the fairy tale wedding we've all been waiting for. Mike and Rachel have been an item since the first season and have been engaged since the fifth. They would have been married a season ago but were not able to because of Mike's time in prison. I always loved their chemistry and I was so sad to see them say goodbye and more than anything, I loved Mike and Harvey's relationship. It was so genuine and pure. The two final episodes of the final season of Suits aired back to back and...

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 c...
