Jurassic World and Guardians Of The Galaxy Star Chris Pratt shares the best nine important lessons ever

Image
While accepting the Generation Award at the recent MTV Movie And TV Awards, Chris Pratt (a.k.a Star Lord) gave a standout speech that I couldn't help but share. Why do i feel the need of posting this? I use to have a picture of Pratt in my head that screamed "Bad Boy." But seeing this, especially learning that he's Godly and wants other people to know, I am awed. He started off funny - if he didn't, he wouldn't be Chris Pratt, would he? I've learnt a lot off this... you should. "This being the Generation Award, I’m going to cut to the chase and I am going to speak to you, the next generation." he started off after thanking his loved ones. "I accept the responsibility as your elder. So, listen up." "Nine Rules from Chris Pratt, Generation Award Winner" (1) "Breathe. If you don’t, you will suffocate." (2) "You have a soul. Be careful with it." (3) "Don’t be a turd. If you are strong, be a

Movie Review: 'Proud Mary'

This post was originally published on Facebook on June 12, 2018 What is Proud Mary? It is a movie about Taraji P. Henson with a gun and a boy to protect. Because, boy, that was a terrible script that wouldn't be made into a movie if Taraji wasn't involved. After Empire, people will watch any movie with Taraji on the poster. Even if it's a movie about an alien ghost virgin, Taraji is that good. She isn't Cookie Lyon on this one. She's Mary(i didn't catch the last name). She's an assassin or a hit woman... whatever you call a female badass that can walk into a house and take out over a dozen men and walk back out(no, not Wonder Woman). The story isn't film-worthy, no, not in 2018. But it's the year for women uhn, and Taraji has never been the lead woman in an action movie so * In Screen Gems' voice * " Let's put 30 million into it." and beg Danny Glover to come be the side villain. It was so 1980. You hear and see thing

Movie Review: 'A Quiet Place'

Image
This post was originally published on Facebook on June 8, 2018. A Quiet Place is definitely the best movie I've seen this year. It meets all the expectations of one who knows it's the story of a family that lives in a future, not too far from this one,where alien creatures have invaded the world and have turned it into a silent place - a quiet place - because they are blind and attack anything that produces sound. Although it is in the "horror" genre, A Quiet Place deserves all the praises it has been getting and even an Oscar nom for Best Original Screenplay for extraordinarily depicting a quiet world with just one family. The family uses sign languages to communicate - subtitles provided - but the opening tragedy steals all hearts away as much as the closing one. A Quiet Place didn't attempt to be the usual horror flick that ends with the 'heroes standing tall' or the 'Wrong Turn' type of 'everyone dies at the end' movie. It h

Understanding 'Falz- This Is Nigeria' Music Video

This post was originally published on Facebook on June 6, 2018. The problem starts from the fact that 'This Is Actually Nigeria' and we will always look for chaos in places that are peaceful. As Nigerians, only few understand the concept of the song and the music video... the latter which is actually the most important piece of this saga and perhaps the most important piece out of the entertainment industry. "Do you know 'This Is Nigeria' is a parody to 'This Is America,' a song accompanied with a more provocative music video by American artist Childish Gambino???" I throw this question to Nigerians every now and then and it's sad that Nigerians and, apparently, the bodies clamouring for the takedown of the music video don't even know who Childish Gambino is. The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has requested Falz to take down the video, tender an apology or face legal actions.(Lol,it's time like this you remember that Falz's f
