LOOT EP. 4

Image
  There’s a disaster on TV. People at a theme park in the Philippines are stuck upside down in one of the rides because it was built shoddily. Everybody is watching and even Molly is insulting the corrupt owners of the park, until they announce she is the owner. Apparently, it’s one of the companies she got during the divorce but because she was weeping and partying and eating chocolate throughout and her lawyers handled everything, she didn’t know. While they are settling that, she decides the charity’s accountant should go to through all of it and they find a few shady businesses and a few they need to check to decide. Meanwhile Nicholas (her secretary- very proud fellow) and Howard (office IT guy- all round nice guy) hit it off earlier, kind of, when N gave H advice for his relationship 8 th year anniversary. H finds out N is an aspiring actor who lacks the confidence needed. He convinces him to audition and they practice together.   N chickens out at the audition plac...

LOOT EP. 3

  Molly’s husband does an interview (remember Meghan and Harry with Oprah- that kind) with his new wife and you know all these people who smile and insult you with very kind words, he’s that kind of person. She gets angry and decides to do one, sorry, ten too.   She preps for the interviews and all but on the interview day, gets scared and cancels. She decides to do a YouTube interview instead, the Hot Table Talk. You eat peppery food and talk. There are 10 levels. You can cool down with beer or milk. From the first bite, our aunty started drinking. You know that sweating and dripping nose, she was experiencing everything. She couldn’t sit. She was just gulping beer, Mixing it with milk. It was bad. Then she started getting angry- after she was drunk. She told them she could buy the studio and burn it down – as she was hopping around. She also told them she could kill them and nothing would happen. It was quite the interview.  She got 8 million views, with a lot of co...

LOOT EP. 2

Image
  Molly decides to get involved in the day-to-day work at the charity and first day, she’s almost fainting at 10:04. They only get 5 minutes to talk about their weekend and there’s a lot of work to do. I know she sounds spoilt but after they got rich, she became a stay at home, go to lunch, the spa and cocktails kind of wife, you get. The movie gives an inkling into the lives of rich wives who are not WAGs, what do they do? Her friends who are currently in Miami call her but she can’t go meet them because she doesn’t want to seem unserious so she takes everyone at the office to Miami for a “bonding trip”. They were already a bit peeved about being kidnapped, then there’s a thunderstorm and they have to land in Oklahoma where they get stuck for hours.    They head back to the office but Molly goes to Miami, which she hates because her friends are fake people and it was not worth it. She apologizes after getting back to work and just invites the work people to the res...

LOOT EP. 1

Image
  Welcome to my new happy place! I love this series so much – thus far. I started by downloading one episode to test it out, then downloaded the remaining once I was done with the first. It’s a little less than 30 minutes per episode and while there’s 10 episodes in the season, only 6 (now 8) are out for now. All episodes are standalone though. Story starts with Molly’s 45 th birthday. She’s married to a billionaire and they started out poor together. She got a boat- think Titanic size - for her birthday but at the party later, discovers her husband is cheating on her with his secretary (who was 1 year old when they graduated college). She gets a very painful divorce and 87 billion dollars. Apparently, she didn’t do anything but live rich once they became rich because she doesn’t know she has a charity organization. She gets called in by the very scary but pretty lady who heads the charity because her post traumatic divorce lifestyle is disturbing their reputation and decide...

Cinderella (2021)

Image
  Cinderella Poster Cinderella In this Camila Cabello Cinderella, the Cinderella story becomes a woke story. I don’t like it, but it is manageable. Cinderella is an activist/non-conformist of sorts, her stepmother has a nice side, the fairy godmother is a man, the Prince is an idiot, the prince has a sister who is eyeing the throne and they even touched on the king and queen’s love story.  In original Cinderella, Prince Charming is the only child because his mother died while giving birth to him and he is actually quite intelligent because he came back from travelling in other kingdoms to learn. That was when his father said he should marry and there would be a ball, blah blah blah. And Cindy's dress was blue.💙 I’m actually tired of filmmakers adding a dumb character to movies, and even worse, to remakes, just for laughs. A very good example of this is Nickelodeon. If you want it to be current, then just make everybody be normal people. Why is the prince dumb - did it mak...

QUEENPINS

Image
7 out of 10. 💸💰  I don’t know if you saw the video of that man that wouldn’t leave the window seat for a child, who said he paid for it and if the mother knew her child would like a window seat, she should have bought a window seat ticket for her child? It's from this movie. The first thing is, how could this movie - which is made of legendary stuff - be a box office bomb (that means it didn’t do well, not that it blew up)? Maybe they didn’t do enough publicity or something, because you need to watch this movie. Totally recommend. C, a stay-at-home wife who was a 3-time Olympic racewalker (this is an actual Olympic sporting event - you basically walk very fast) does nothing but coupon clipping and rearranging the house after she had a miscarriage and they don’t have enough money for another round of IVF. She is best friends with her neighbor, T, who is in the beauty business but had her identity stolen by Tempe Tina (Bebe Rexha) and now everybody thinks she’s a fraudster. The...

Doctor Strange into the Multiverse of Madness (2022)

Image
  If I said it once, I said it a thousand times, the Marvel Universe without Stan Lee is nothing to write home about. If only people don’t die. No Way Home was still manageable because of the 3 Peter’s, but I should have known they were losing their way. At least the titles are correct. They are lost so they have no way home and now they’ve found themselves in the multiverse of madness, whoever the writer is. And before they started trekking, they must have drunk all these Russian alcohols, because they are wandering like lost sheep. Actually, the movie may not have felt that bad if I wasn’t expecting a superhero movie. If you want to watch a superhero movie, this is not the one for you. You will like Eran Iya Osogbo or Awon Iya Meta. It is almost the same, a witch causing problems and killing people, bringing demons around and a couple of people running around trying to stop her and rescue the person who made her angry. The only thing missing is Odunlade Adekola. Story lin...

Jayeshbhai Jordaar (2022)

Image
  Okay, hello people. 👀I really need to start posting the Korean series I said I would. But whenever I want to start, I get overwhelmed and don't know where to start😭😭. Welcome to Chandigarh. You see, this world is strange. In some parts of the world, women are fighting for the right of the choice to abort when they want. On the other side, some women are fighting, even running away from home, getting beaten up and murdered, to prevent their babies from being murdered, remember Secret Superstar ? Am I also the only one that noticed that depending on the side of the divide you are, it could be a ‘baby’ or a ‘bunch of cells’? Talk about interpretation, meaning and value. In this movie, there’s a couple. When they were children, the families agreed to do an arranged marriage custom for when the children are matured. Family A’s son, Dave marries Family B’s daughter, Sarah and Family B’s son, Nick marries Family A’s daughter, Lolo. Then whatever happens to any of the children wil...

Girl Cops (aka Mrs & Miss Cops)

Image
  Hallo! Hallo! Como Estas? Some of the people you might recognize if you decide to watch this movie are: 1)       Wi Ha Joon – The cop from Squid Game and K (not pronounced gay) from Bad and Crazy . I’ll give a review of the above once I watch them. He was also the baseball superstar from 18 again (which is the Korean Series version of Zac Efron’s 17 again – I haven’t watched that one). That leads us to person 2. 2)       Yoon Sang-hyun – the older Hong Dae Young from 18 again . 3)        Lee Sung-kyung – aka our darling Kim Bok Joo (Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo) . Anyways, this movie made me scared of Korea. A bit. But I guess there are psychos everywhere. The movie starts with a female officer arresting a drug dealer. She does that cool scene Vincenzo (in Vincenzo ) and Lee Min Ho (in City Hunter ) did where they dumped all their bullets except one and kept shooting blanks till the person conf...

Chief Daddy 2: Going for Broke (2022).

Image
  Well, I can say – I did not esperred it. What is this movie? I’ll tell you what it is – A flamboyant, Broda Shaggi sprinkled, Falz’s music advertising joke. You know, the closing credit should have been accompanied by “We Are Family” as sung by Sexual Chocolate in Coming 2 America. The acting was great though. You would know these guys were all veterans, but that storyline was a mess. I don’t even know where to start from.🤷🤷 The Beecroft family is broke (and I guess the producers were as well – the movie looked so cheap, they spent the barest minimum making it - no offense), and Lady Kay can’t celebrate her birthday in style. Big Money Famzy has been chased out of the studio, The therapist is now doing YouTube vlogs about her own family, Tinu and her sister are chasing the same man (and he is not that fine) while their boutique with the therapist’s mum (the therapist is one of their half-siblings) is not making sales. The footballer son has a racist P.A. with an attitude ...

Mood of the Day (2016) - Movie Review

Image
  Hello! Day 2! How are you doing? Finally, a Korean movie.👀 The lady in this one was the wife in Flower of Evil, while the guy was the lead doctor from Romantic Doctor 1. He was a pervert there too. The girl is in a 10-year relationship with a clot pole (get the Merlin reference?), her friend is getting married to her high school boyfriend after dating him for just 3 months, she is a boss at an advertising agency and her secretary is the ghostess from Oh My Ghostess. She used to be a pious woman until she met the male lead. He corrupted her within one day. Moral lesson: Avoid womanizers. The guy is a womanizer who will probably get AIDs last last, if he doesn’t change his ways. He is also a top basketball scout/agent whose charge has run away and he has to go all over Korea to find him. They spend the day (and night) together and say goodbye, she decides to break up with her fiancée of many years. The girl then had lunch with her friends and badmouthed the guy (even thoug...

Father of the Bride (2022)

Image
 I know, I promised Korean stuff. And here I am with 2 non-kdrama stuff. I'm sorry😭. I still love you tho.  Well, once I saw Isabela Merced in the cast, I knew I was going to watch it. I'm supporting my baby all the way, fellas. Note: She wasn’t the bride. She was the bride’s younger sister and a fashion designer.  I don’t know much about Cubans or Mexicans and I didn’t feel some parts of the movie were practicable if they had been Nigerians, so I’ll give it a 7 out of 10. (Edit: Now that I think about it 6.5 out of 10). The movie felt very American to me. I couldn’t connect to it and I was like yikes! Most of the time. It’s an okay movie though, if you like that kinda story. Couple going through problems in their marriage but still in love? Sometimes it felt like just the father was in love and I kept rolling my eyes at the mother. They are upper middle-class immigrants, with one perfect NYU Law grad daughter and one college dropout fashion designer daughter. The ...

Rise (2022)

Image
  This is one of the most inspiring movies of the century. Seriously, I love Disney but I didn’t know Disney still made movies like this. It’s the story of the Adetokunbo (Antetokoumnpo) family, from Charles and Veronica a.k.a. Vera (the parents), to Francis, Thanasis, Giannis, Kostas and Alex. Originally from Nigeria, they moved to Greece for a better life, passing through Turkey. They couldn’t get resident status because they didn’t have passports and were illegal immigrants, even though all the children apart from Francis (left behind in Nigeria) were born in Greece. Charles worked odd jobs and the rest of the family sold stuff to tourists. And ran from the Europe police on their off time. The father used to be a football player in Nigeria so he taught them to play ball but Thanasis and Giannis fell in love with Basketball in 2007 and there was no looking back. They trained hard to have a chance to be drafted for teams but most teams wouldn’t touch them with a 10-foot-lo...
