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."

Film review: The Last Tourist Born Explorer Films, Skin and Bones Film Elevation Pictures Release date The film is releasing in select theatres on April 1 and across all digital and on-demand platforms on April 5. #whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif) "'The Last Tourist' tackles overtourism and how it disturbs wildlife, the earth, and vulnerable populations. Holiday hotspots are reaching a breaking point in terms of numbers. The film mentions that travel rates have increased from 25 million people annually in 1950 to 1.6 billion in 2020. The documentary conveys that tour operators, travel companies, and cruises are persuading you on how to spend your money. This leaves the local communities that heavily rely on the tourism industry with nothing. Social media could also be a reason why individuals need to go to certain places. They also need that "selfie" to prove it. But what will we do to get that photo? There is foo...

The Black Phone Universal C Robert Cargill discusses the kids in The Black Phone at Hollywood Premiere "The kids are so good in this movie. We're so proud of what they did. You know you write kid characters, and you hope that it comes up to the screen. Then you get these great actors who come in and they get it, and they nail it, and they do it better than you ever imagined it.

"If COVID doesn’t kill you, they will." In his mind, he plans to save the world by wiping out the homeless with his buddies. I don't think you really need to watch this action/thriller film.

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...
