Killer Heat

John Stark

Killer Heat (Amazon) Joseph Gordon Levitt Is Looped Into This Murder Mystery Once again, I’d love it if you checked out my review of Killer Heat, and let me know your thoughts in the comments of the video, or on here. Likes and subscribes are awesome too. Killer Heat is kind of a waste of Joseph Gordon Levitt, who already has a pretty solid release this year with the entertaining Beverly Hills cop: Axel F, and has previously nailed the noir detective angle in Brick, and even Looper has a bit of that element.

The Fallout

John Stark

Starring: Jenna Ortega, Maddie Ziegler, Will Ropp, Miles Fitch, John Ortiz, Julie Bowen, and Shailene Woodley. Directed By: Megan Park Where I Watched It: HBO MAX English Audio Description Available?: Yes The Plot: Vada (Ortega) is your average high schooler, with a normal life, whose life is forever changed when a fellow classmate walks into her school with a gun and opens fire. While the movie spends most of the time not during this incident, the given plot description is vague enough that you might think its about teen suicide or something. So, you’ve been warned about the actual content … Continue reading The Fallout
