35 years after the shocking murder of three teens, the infamous “Sweet Sixteen Killer“ returns on Halloween night to claim a fourth victim. 17-year-old Jamie (Kiernan Shipka) ignores her overprotective mom’s (Julie Bowen) warning and comes face to face with the masked maniac and on the run for her life, accidentally time travels back to 1987, the year of the original killings. Forced to navigate the unfamiliar and outrageous culture of the 1980s, Jamie teams up with her teen mom (Olivia Holt) to take down the killer once and for all before she’s stuck in the past forever.

Nahnatchka Khan discusses Totally Killer
"It's Back to the
Future, but with a serial killer twist, and getting to go back in time and do some of those kills, eighties-style, I thought it was so smart and clever. And I knew I wanted to bring in the sort of true crime craze that's been going on, where people would have dedicated podcasts to the Sweet Sixteen Killer and crime timelines."
"The movie is a fun rollercoaster for everybody"
"It's communal, something that's fun to experience with friends, family, however you watch."
"There's something for everybody in there, it's a good time. Hopefully, people enjoy this because we definitely enjoyed making it."
Jason Blum discusses Totally Killer
"The time travel element makes this unique and really fun"
"There’s 80s easter eggs like the fashion and music in the movie for people like me who lived through those years, but also for that generation who have seen the John Hughes movies, and movies like Heathers, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and Back to the Future or watched them with their parents.
Kiernan Shipka discusses Totally Killer
"The script was so fun, vibrant and lively, kind of that popcorn candy-type of movie where you want to be strapped in and attached to these characters"
"Jamie's a modern teenager, but also flawed and not thinking about the big picture of her life quite yet. She's smart but spends too much time on her phone, listens to a ton of music, but is in that floaty sort of space in her life where she's not thinking about things on a grand scale, and then this tragic, life-altering thing happens. I really loved that she has a real arc and awakening throughout the movie as to what really matters."
Kelcey Mawema discusses Totally Killer
"I loved the way they wrote Amelia"
"She's a science nerd but she's cool, not a stereotype. She's a really good friend too, selfless. I was the biology kid in school, so I had a little me in there for sure."
Missing: Dead or Alive? Blast Films Netflix #whatonwhatsgood Express Review Missing: Dead or Alive? follows a female-led missing persons unit as they work on cases from 2019 to 2021. The missing person cases included Lorraine Garcia, Amirah Watson, David Taylor, and Sierra Stevens. Overall, the show is decent. It felt a bit staged at times. It wasn't my favourite true crime series of the year, but it's worth watching if you need something to watch. Description Follow officers from a South Carolina sheriff’s department as they urgently search for individuals who've disappeared under troubling circumstances.

Chloe (2022) Mam Tor Productions, Amazon Studios BBC One, Prime Video Social Media #Chloe #PrimeVideo Release date Friday, June 24, on Amazon Prime Video #whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif) Chloe is an interesting drama.

Samaritan Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Balboa Productions United Artists Releasing Amazon Studios Release date August 26, 2022 #whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif | What On What's Good) Is it just me...I feel like Stallone's character Joe Smith was a lot like Bruce Willis’s character David Dunn in Unbreakable... In this action-thriller film, a gang led by Cyrus (Pilou Asbaek) gets a bit out of hand and someone needs to stop them. Can Joe (three-time Oscar nominee Sylvester Stallone), who plays a garbage collector, use his powers to save the day without 13-year-old Sam Cleary (Javon “Wanna” Walton) and the rest of the Granite City finding out his secret? Stallone was pretty decent in this one. The movie had a 90's feel to it. Can the old guy come out of retirement and beat the bad guy? Will justice prevail? Directed by Julius Avery Written by Bragi F. Schut Based on Samaritan by Bragi F. Schut, Marc Olivent, Renzo Podesta Produce...
The Dropout Elizabeth Meriwether Pictures/Semi-Formal Productions/20th Television/Searchlight Television Disney Platform Distribution/Hulu Genre Drama #whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif) 'The Dropout' tells the story of Elizabeth Holmes (Amanda Seyfried). The series basically explores the rise and fall of Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos. Her goal was to create a blood diagnostic technology that will be able to run hundreds of tests on a single drop of blood. Her technology never worked. I must say, Amanda Seyfried does an amazing portrayal of Elizabeth Holmes. The story allows you to see Holmes in high school, as a college freshman, and eventually a businesswoman. If you like Netflix’s “ Inventing Anna " or Showtime’s “ Super Pumped ” you will definitely like "The Dropout". If you want to learn more about the story, make sure to check out the HBO documentary 'The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley' (2019) dire...
