the little things review.


 note: there are little spoilers in this review...
anyone that's a fan of good thriller and drama would be hyped to see what our movie leads - Leto, Malek, and Washington - would bring to the scene. the movie is set in 1990 and a serial killer is on the loose, killing females gruesomely. his trademark? - a nylon over their heads as the dead bodies bleed out. the detective on the case, Baxter (Malek), teams up with deputy sheriff Joe Deacon (Washington) out of what seems like respect for Joe's back story.

i thought this was funny.

the acting is exceptional as you'd expect (or not). the role of deputy sheriff isn't anything out of the ordinary for Washington given his track record and performance in The Equalizer. Leto's act as Sparma is a dazzle - the strides, accent, looks, creepy details. it almost makes one worry where he's been all through the first hour of the movie. that said, the movie is an overstretch given the ending. with good cinematography, there's enough dust and rust to remind us of the twentieth century.

this scene - elite!

"it's the little things that gets you caught" and one would expect little details to lead to the killer, maybe a missed slip, yet all that's to see is one man messing with two agents of the state and getting a boner from pictures of dead girls. no matter how you view it, Deacon has no sensible reason to be obsessed with the case. there's no actual motive and Baxter becomes the man he shouldn't. 
the promising plot falls on its face making one question if two hours hasn't been wasted and Deacon lies to allow Baxter have a good night sleep; to able him father his two little girls. why? you'd have to watch to find out.

Severance: An Unforgettable Thriller

Written By
Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you didn't remember the stress of your workplace when you get home? From the mind of Dan Erickson, directed by Ben Stiller and Aoife McArdle, Severance offers an answer to the aforementioned question and pushes the limit by asking " when your consciousness is spilt into two, which one is the real you? " The series follows a severed employee at Lumon, Mark who has recently been promoted to the Head of Microdata and Refinement Department after the sudden resignation of his boss and the recruitment of a new employee, Helly Riggs. Plot Severance has a unique plot, while the execution of a series without a definite blueprint can prove difficult, it does not fall into this hole. The series answers (almost)all the questions it poses in the first few episodes but ends on a note that will leave you spiraling and brimming with inquisitiveness.  Characters For every character, we follow two distinct ...

Enjoying music (on your own)

Written By
Music is not for the English or French,  or Italian, or anyone at all.  Music is the simple or complex cluster of sounds that sound pleasing, acceptable to the ear. Needless say, almost every person appreciates good music and some have mistaken this appreciation as an avenue to create something. Some succeed at it, and others - a whole bunch - don't. Music isn't just something you create on a whim, unless you're Labrinth 🐐 Seriously, creating music is difficult, complex and very stressful. But there's an easier part and it's called LISTENING - not like Wizkid FC and Tiwa Savage's gladiators sha.  People oft imagine music to be "better" when the speakers are going like the drums of judgement day and uhh... no. Don't do that. Music inflated by volume is noise. [Unless it's metal, then KPK👍] There are 5 simple ways to enjoy music when step 0 - good speakers/headphones - is achieved. - First, music is best enjoyed in a peaceful environment, not a...

SENSE 8: A SHORT LIVED MASTERPIECE

Written By
Sense 8 was a slept on underground Netflix show that had a large underground fan base,and I say underground because they never promoted the show. And honestly,promotion is really what matters on networks like Netflix because they know the shows they have are good but when the numbers aren ’t backing up the belief then it’s bye bye to that show. Although the show ’s budget is extremely high. It was quite complex,the concept was very very dope…the ability to be; in lame man’s term,telepathically linked to seven other people who you can share things like,feelings and skill sets with.  These people are spread round the world and that’s where the matter of budget comes in. I do not know how but the Wachowski’s(show creators) managed to shoot in about 5 different countries in order to capture and make it even more realistic.. For a very ambitious show that has several mind boggling plot points,sense 8 manages to focus more on it’s characters and initially I hated ...
