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

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...

"Don't Tell Mama"- The Shocking Sharp Objects Season Finale

   Sharp Objects easily tops the list of my all time favorite TV Series. The HBO Limited Series aired it eight and final episode last night and it's something I'll probably never forget. I'm trying so hard to find the right words to describe this amazing show and the phenomenal acting from Amy Adams, Patricia Clarkson and Eliza Scanlen. They were just too perfect. Throughout the season, we've all been trying to figure out who the killer was in this whodunnit and I had so many theories. I never believed it was John Keene because most times, it's always the person you least expect that'll end up being the perpetrator. My first suspect was Alan (Henry Czerny), Adora's husband and Amma's father. I thought the only reason he would venture out to killing teenage girls was due to the fact that he was no longer as had a bond with his daughter and his loveless marriage but I was so wrong. Then I thought it was the Police Chief, Bill who was in cahoots with Ado...

Chicago Justice: Series Premiere/Crossover Episode-"Fake"

Image via imdb.com I looked forward to seeing Chicago Justice after it was announced because I love the One Chicago universe even though I'm yet to see the other shows, i'm very familiar with their stories and characters. I'm a crazy fan of Chicago PD so I'm going to binge watch all the episodes of Chicago Fire, but I don't think I'll be able to see Chicago Med. Medical shows are too emotional for me. With Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, I don't know where to start from, but I'll binge watch from season one to eighteen whenever I can for sure.  The four part crossover started with an episode on Chicago Fire and concluded in the season premiere of Chicago Justice. There is a fire at a warehouse and the Chicago Fire crew think it's an accident but Severide (Taylor Kinney) finds metal wedges shoved under the door which means whoever started the fire wanted everyone trapped inside, so its arson. Image via nbc.com The warehouse was a spot...
