RKS 2025 Film: “The Legacy of Cloudy Falls”: Quasi Infinite Parade of Oddities

“The Legacy of Cloudy Falls” is set in Niagara Falls, Canada, you know the “better side” of the Falls! They say the best part of Las Vegas is leaving it. The same may be said, but in a more compelling fashion, about the town Niagara Falls, Ontario. Tacky and seedy may be a polite descriptionContinue reading “RKS 2025 Film: “The Legacy of Cloudy Falls”: Quasi Infinite Parade of Oddities”

RKS 2025 CANADIAN Film: “Anacoreta”: A Movie About Attempting to Make a Horror Movie

“Anacoreta” is a movie about attempting to make an experimental horror movie. I can’t discern any horror or mockumentary flavour to it. I attended the 65th Annual Thessaloniki International Film Festival in Thessaloniki, Greece in early November 2024 and watched 23 movies and posted reviews on 20 of them in 10 days. Three of theContinue reading “RKS 2025 CANADIAN Film: “Anacoreta”: A Movie About Attempting to Make a Horror Movie”

RKS 2024 Film: “Daughter of the Sun”: Cruel, Bizarre, Mystical and Biblical

“Daughter of the Sun” combines biblical references, “2001 A Space Odyssey”, “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” and “Bonny and Clyde” making this one the best Canadian movies in modern times. Ryan Ward as writer, director and actor has quite an accomplishment on the screen. Please don’t hold it against the film that it isContinue reading “RKS 2024 Film: “Daughter of the Sun”: Cruel, Bizarre, Mystical and Biblical”

RKS Film: “Tales from the Gimli Hospital” (Redux)

Gimli is a small town in Manitoba, Canada. In 1983 an Air Canada flight from Toronto to Edmonton ran out of fuel and miraculously coasted from 41,000 feet to an airfield in Gimli Manitoba. So I was piqued in seeing “Gimli” as part of the title to “Tales from the Gimli Hospital”. Written and directedContinue reading “RKS Film: “Tales from the Gimli Hospital” (Redux)”

RKS Films: “On the Fringe of Wild”: The Viciousness of Homophobia

“On the Fringe of Wild” is nothing but a masterful take on the pain and suffering caused by homophobia. Quite frankly it is a vicious movie and take that as a compliment. The film was shot in North Bay, Ontario. Peter (Harrison Brown) is a quiet and sensitive young man finishing off high school. HeContinue reading “RKS Films: “On the Fringe of Wild”: The Viciousness of Homophobia”

“Come True”: Possibly a Canadian Classic Horror Thriller?

“Come True” initially moves slowly and gains in suspense and explodes with an unsuspected brilliant and provocative finish. You think you are finally beginning to figure everything out until an unexpected finish turns you on your head spinning with WTF just happened. A great film brimming with creativity that may leave you with a gaspContinue reading ““Come True”: Possibly a Canadian Classic Horror Thriller?”

“Violation”: A Canadian Gem?

I have watched this film twice and it took the second view to say this Canadian film is a gem. Personally, I would advise you to watch it more than once. It is one of those films that beg for interpretation. The elements to keep an eye and mind on could be sexual assault, PTSD,Continue reading ““Violation”: A Canadian Gem?”
