Movie Review: Gringo

Image
Isn't it crazy? David Oyelowo, Charlize Theron and Joel Edgerton in one movie... I yelled in excitement when I saw the poster last year; extra-smiled after seeing the trailer and seeing Gringo, from the delectable Nash Egerton, well... let's just say this is the most fun movie of twenty eighteen, uhn? *ducks Ready Player One debris* "Hey." Fasten your seatbelt, like Harold Soyinka (Oyelowo) would and let me take you through this 'Not-America' ride of the movie Gringo. So how do we do it? Spoilery or Spoiler Free?? I believe this is more for the people who haven't seen it yet so ama be a lil on the border fence. It's a traditional theatrical display of sex, money, drug lords, corruption, lies, heartbreak, disloyalty and a black man. Harold thought he had a friend in Richard(Edgerton) but he was being played by Harry and Elaine, the raunchy co-president who is played by the great Charlize Theron of all people. I mean, the acting wreaks awesomeness co

Song Of The Moment

I don't know why I felt writing the shortest review on an old song, that I feel many haven't heard, is worth a blog post. But it's my blog right? I can do whatever I want with it. LOL ... settled.

TITLE: Another Writer's Diary: June 27 WRITTEN BY: Okiki Adeduyite PRODUCED BY: Kester Kanayo DESCRIPTION: So a break from all the entertainment talk. Giving you a rare insight into a writer's mind. Basically tore a page outta my diary. Which of'em you feeling??? 1 EIGHT A.M. You know it's saddening. As writers we never get to be happy. We are bogged down with thoughts of how to break new grounds and stand out from the rest. "It's okay for you to be depressed, you're a writer," they will say. "You can't have too much fun and still be efficient." It's not fair. Even the little moment of happiness(which comes from success) we have gets intertwined with thoughts of the future and how to beat that success because the moment you try to live on past glory, you're on your way to the land of depression. Endlessly trying to not give away too much, hold back too much, celebrate too much, brood too much,
