Film Review: The Man from Toronto (2022)

The Man from Toronto (2022) Columbia Pictures, Bron Creative, Escape Artists Netflix Release date June 24, 2022 #whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif) The Man From Toronto is a decent action flick.  I must say Kevin Hart and Woody Harrelson work very well together in this action-comedy film. Basically in this movie, you have a case of mistaken identity. Let's just say that Teddy Jackson (Kevin Hart), an out of work gym membership salesman, walked into the wrong room and now everyone thinks he is the world’s deadliest killer,  “The Man from Toronto”. (MFT)  What will happen when "The Man from Toronto" (Woody Harrelson) meets Teddy?    The other cast members (Kaley Cuoco, Jasmine Mathews, Lela Loren, Pierson Fode, Jencarlos Canela, and Ellen Barkin) really add some excitement to the storyline.   Let's hope Hart and Harrelson can team up again on another adventure. Directed by Patrick Hughes Screenplay by Robbie Fox and Chris Bre...

TV Review: The Neighborhood

The Neighborhood Mud, Blood & Beer Productions/A Bird and a Bear Entertainment/Kapital Entertainment/Trill Television CBS Studios/CBS #whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif) "The Neighborhood on CBS is about a friendly Midwestern couple (Dave and Gemma Johnson) and their son Grover (Hank Greenspan) who move to a neighborhood in Los Angeles. Gemma (Beth Behrs) got a new job as a school principal in L.A. Dave Johnson (Max Greenfield) is just about the friendliest guy in the world.  I don't think anyone can dislike him.  Well one person can... They have a pretty opinionated next-door neighbor, the grouchy mechanic Calvin Butler (Cedric the Entertainer).  He has a wife named Tina (Tichina Arnold) and two sons Marty (Marcel Spears) and Malcolm (Sheaun McKinney).   Dave is desperately trying to fit in with the community.  Will the Johnsons be accepted by everyone?   The series is quite amusing.  Tina as Calvin's wife is fun as she keeps...

TV Series Review: The Tinder Swindler (2022)

The Tinder Swindler Raw TV Netflix Ratings My Rating: 7/10 #whatonwhatsgood Fan Club Rating: 75% #whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif) An interesting true-crime documentary that shows how conman Simon Leviev swindled women out of millions of dollars by using dating app Tinder.  One of the dozen women conned by The Tinder Swindler is Cecilie Fjellhøy. She explains what happens to her in this film. Director Felicity Morris’ flick really showed how someone can convince others online that they are someone they are not.  Leviev made an estimated $10m from deceiving women worldwide.  I must say after watching The Tinder Swindler you may think twice about dating apps.  That one swipe to the right could change your life. Release date  02/02/2022 Social media #TheTinderSwindler #Netflix #SimonLeviev Directed by Felicity Morris Starring Kristoffer Kumar as Self Cecilie Fjellhøy as Self Pernilla Sjöholm as Self Ayleen Charlotte as Self Erlend Ofte Arntsen...

The Good Nurse Protozoa Pictures, FilmNation Entertainment Netflix Release dates September 11, 2022 (TIFF) October 19, 2022 October 26, 2022 (Netflix) #whatonwhatsgood Express Review Nurse Amy Loughren (Jessica Chastain) finds out that her colleague Charlie Cullen (Eddie Redmayne) has been poisoning their patients.  She works with the police to figure out who he is, what he is up to, and why he is committing these horrific crimes. Cullen killed over forty people over a fifteen-year period across several hospitals.  The question is why is he doing it?   Overall, I liked The Good Nurse.  Great performances by Jessica Chastain and Eddie Redmayne.
