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."

It is set in a town called Deadloch, Tasmania. In the first episode, Trent Latham (Barry Wheeler) is found naked and dead on a beach. The question is can Sergeant Dulcie Collins (Kate Box) and Det. Eddie Redcliffe (Madeleine Sami) work together to solve the mystery? It's a whodunnit. Enjoy! Description Deadloch is an eight-part crime comedy.

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...
Untold: Jail Blazers Release April 14th, 2026 I watched the documentary, and it really made me think. I kept wondering if the NBA players were actually as bad as people said, or if the media made them look worse than they were. Some players did have real problems off the court. Rasheed Wallace sometimes got into trouble, and Damon Stoudamire also had issues, including marijuana charges. That’s why the team got the nickname “Jail Blazers” during the late 1990s and early 2000s. The name came from a lot of off-court problems like drug possession, legal issues, and heated moments with referees. There were serious incidents, too. Ruben Patterson pleaded guilty to attempted rape in 2001, and Qyntel Woods was involved in an animal abuse case. There were also problems inside the team. At one point in practice, Zach Randolph punched Ruben Patterson and broke his eye socket. The team was very good, but there was a lot of fighting and problems with control. Even with all this, they were a strong ...

Weird: The Al Yankovic Story Funny or Die, Tango Entertainment, Ear Booker Productions The Roku Channel Release dates September 8, 2022 (TIFF) November 4, 2022 #whatonwhatsgood Express Review His mother Mary (Julianne Nicholson) didn't mind that Al wanted to be a musician but his father Nick (Toby Huss) thought it wasn't a good idea. Al Yankovic (Daniel Radcliffe) nonetheless decided to follow his dream and create polka songs by changing the lyrics to well-known songs. Did he make his dream come true and at what cost? In one segment, you learn how Al came up with the song “My Bologna” which quickly got the attention of Dr. Demento (Rainn Wilson). Where the story got weird was his "relationship" with Madonna (Evan Rachel Wood). It was very unrealistic... yet funny ... Imagine if it really happened ... The movie also mentioned “Eat It” was Al’s biggest hit and that he created it before Michael Jackson's "Beat It". “Ami...
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...
Christmas in the Square 2019 By: Jovin Tardif November 30, 2019 I love the holidays, but I also understand the bigger picture. We are all extremely blessed this time of year. We are making our list and checking it twice. Everyone is running around on Black Friday looking for the latest gadgets, new fashion, great deals, and gifts for the family. It's the most wonderful time of the year. However, there are others that aren't as fortunate. They could be in a tougher situation and they need your help. After meeting the Salvation Army at Hope in the City, I was informed of another event that was happening in our city on Friday, November 29th, 2019 at Yonge-Dundas Square, 1 Dundas St E, Toronto. Starting at 11:30am, you can head over to Yonge-Dundas Square, enjoy the festivities, a warm cup of hot chocolate and hang out with your friends at CTV and the Salvation Army. You had the opportunity to participate in sing-alongs to Celebrat...
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 ...
