Totally Killer: A Time Travel/Slasher Mash-Up That Was ALMOST Perfect

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

A mash-up between genres is always difficult. Most fail, but a select few find a way to make it work. Totally Killer was SO close to being one of those select few. It’s billed as a slasher movie, but with a time travel element mixed in. For most of the movie, it was great. It checked all the right boxes and hit all the right notes.

Then, in the final 10 minutes, it lost its chance at cinematic perfection with one unnecessary last-minute twist.

Small Soldiers: A Forgotten 90s Gem With A Relevant Message

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

In the late 90s, artificial intelligence was still the domain of movies and sci-fi. Around that time, a movie called “Small Soldiers” came out in theaters. It was a minor success with an interesting plot, having a line of toys come to life due to being installed with an AI chip meant for weapons. But years later, with the subsequent rise of AI, this movie feels a lot more noteworthy and relevant.

Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender – The Movie (And Franchise) Paramount Tried To Destroy

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

Avatar Aang was a beautiful, ambitious movie that continued saga beloved by many. But after a mix of scandals and short-sighted decisions, Paramount decided to cancel the theatrical release and put the movie on their streaming service, Paramount Plus.

But despite the quality of the movie, the poor handling of the studio has set a dangerous, destructive precedent for Avatar: The Last Airbander and any other franchise owned by Paramount.
