RKS Film: “Nocturna; The Great Old Man’s Night” (Side A): Perhaps a Different Type of Horror Film? : The Horror of Dementia?

Gonzalo Calzada has a double feature for us. There is “Nocturna Side A The Great Old Man’s Night” and “Nocturna Side B Where the Elephant’s Go to Die”.

RKS Film: “They/Them/Us”: A Deservedly Happy Ending

When I received “They/Them/Us” for review it sounded somewhat like “Cheaper by the Dozen” made in 1950 followed by a 2003 remake. Yes my fear was cheese and a “Leave it to Beaver” squeaky clean film sanitized for all to see! Thank goodness most of the cheese was sanitized out of this film and itContinue reading “RKS Film: “They/Them/Us”: A Deservedly Happy Ending”

RKS Film: “A Grand Romantic Gesture”: Thank You For Sparing Me From A Cheesy Romantic Film!

You have probably seen too many cheesy romantic films with a perfect and happy ending. I would rather eat two bags of Cheesies than watch a telescreen generated Harlequin Romance Film. Harlequin films are designed for whom? A cholesterol nightmare would be preferable to suffering through a formulistic romantic film. So with a degree ofContinue reading “RKS Film: “A Grand Romantic Gesture”: Thank You For Sparing Me From A Cheesy Romantic Film!”

RKS Films: “The Jump”: A Man’s Quest For Freedom Reminds Some Americans About How Lucky They Are!

I travelled extensively in the 1970’s to countries behind the “Iron Curtain” namely the USSR and the countries in its captive communist orbit. I have experienced the lack of political freedom, lack of food and consumer goods and of the repression. I also had some political background as the Iron Curtain was the focus ofContinue reading “RKS Films: “The Jump”: A Man’s Quest For Freedom Reminds Some Americans About How Lucky They Are!”

RKS Film: “JonBenét’s Tricycle”; Compelling and Chilling

Many of us may remember the murder of JonBenét Ramsey in Boulder Colorado years ago. The murder has not been solved and as we progress through the documentary there is a strong assumption made the crime scene was contaminated by inept police not used to investigating murders in Boulder.
