#whatonwhatsgood Express Review

In 'To Catch a Killer', 29 people are shot and killed on New Year's by a sniper. 

Special agent Geoffrey Lammark (Ben Mendelsohn) recruits a young police investigator Eleanor Falco (Shailene Woodley) to help profile an unstable serial killer.  She is also joined by McKenzie (Jovan Adepo). 

Eleanor has a history of addiction and has failed at joining the FBI...but Geoffrey Lammark has a good feeling about her.

Overall, "To Catch a Killer" is a decent movie.  The opening sequence is quite good.  The mass murderer is a madman rather than a terrorist which I guess is a bit different than your usual action/crime/drama films.  The actual identity of the killer is kept secret until the end of the film making you wonder who is doing these killings.  It's definitely worth a watch.

Description

Eleanor (Woodley) is a modern-day Clarice Starling, a young investigator wrestling with the demons of her past, when she’s called to the scene of a brutal crime—the work of a new and terrifying mass murderer. The police and FBI launch a desperate nationwide manhunt but are thwarted at every turn by the killer’s enigmatic, unprecedented behavior. Despite her relative inexperience, Eleanor is drawn deeper and deeper into the case, as she and her colleagues realize that she may be the only person, given her own tortured psyche, who can understand the mind of this singular killer and bring him to justice.

I feel like audiences are going to love Jesus revolution because it has this sort of retro.  Feel the music is going to be amazing. The costumes are amazing.  The hair is amazing.

TV Series Review: Bel-air (2022)

By

Bel-Air Season 1 No. of episodes: 10 #whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif) Bel-Air is a dramatic version of the '90s comedy sitcom 'The Fresh Prince of Bel Air'.  It's about a young Will Smith who has to go to L.A. because of some issues happening in Philadelphia.  Just like in the original series, Will (Jabari Banks) has to get used to his new surroundings with his wealthy family in Los Angeles.  The series is interesting and they made some adjustments to the characters. Uncle Phil (Adrian Holmes) is slightly different in this show.  He's strict but fair.  He also has a few secrets. Aunt Vivian (Cassandra Freeman) plays a similar role to the 90's sitcom where she helps everyone try to accomplish their goals and become successful.  The only difference in this show is that she used to paint and she stopped doing it to help Uncle Phil with his political career. Carlton (Olly Sholotan) was a bit of a shock to me.  I was so used to his ...

What was supposed to be a celebration of love, peace and great music turned into riots, rage and mayhem. Why did it happen? Some blame the promoters, others believe it's the attendees.

The Tourist Two Brothers Pictures/Highview Productions/All3Media/South Australian Film Corporation/BBC Studios/HBO Max/ZDF/Stan #whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif) "Essentially a man in the Australian Outback gets into a car accident and can't remember anything. He has no ID and no memories.   The real questions are...  Who is he? Will he be able to figure it out? Why are people trying to kill him? I think you will find Jamie Dornan quite interesting in this series. A few funny moments include when his character gets angry when he can't remember Simon & Garfunkel, wondering if he's an alcoholic because he loves the taste of beer, and of course finding out what makes him happy is eating a burrito."
