RKS 2024 Film: “All You Need is Blood”: A Bloody Interesting Targeted Audience Comedy

I returned two days ago from 10 days at the Thessaloniki International Film Festival where I watched and reviewed 20 movies. Three were Greek films about making a movie about a movie. They weren’t comedies as “All You Need is Blood” which is a movie about making a movie about making a movie. Bucky (LoganContinue reading “RKS 2024 Film: “All You Need is Blood”: A Bloody Interesting Targeted Audience Comedy”

RKS 2024 Film: The 65th Thessaloniki International Film Festival: “She Loved Blossoms More”

“She Loved Blossoms More” is a film difficult to categorise as to genre and the best I can suggest is “psychedelic horror”. Consider it a combination of “The Wizard of Oz”, the blue pill from “The Matrix”, “Back to the Future”, “Mad Max” and the LSD trip in New Orleans in “Easy Rider”. The plotContinue reading “RKS 2024 Film: The 65th Thessaloniki International Film Festival: “She Loved Blossoms More””

RKS 2024 Film: “Don’t F* With Ghosts”

In the film “Don’t F* With Ghosts” Stu Stone and Adam Rodness are two Canadian filmmakers without commercial success. They visit studio executives to pitch their “Bigfoot” project but instead are steered towards producing a film that will prove there are ghosts as after all that is where the international interest is according to theContinue reading “RKS 2024 Film: “Don’t F* With Ghosts””

RKS 2024 Film: “Zombie Town”: Don’t Be Sucker Punched by Rent a Star

If you aren’t zombified by the time the final credits roll you are a superhuman and perhaps ready to star in the 467th Marvel movie. Not being attracted to zombie films I watched “Zombie Town” because Dan Aykroyd and Chevy Chase were featured actors. Their screen appearance was minimal all for the better as theContinue reading “RKS 2024 Film: “Zombie Town”: Don’t Be Sucker Punched by Rent a Star”

RKS 2024 Film: “Night of the Harvest”: Psycho Sisters Enjoy the Big Halloween Party

Just in time for Halloween “Night of the Harvest” is available digitally. I never understood the penchant some movie goers have for slasher films. What fun is there with blood, guts and body parts flying all over the screen. As far as slasher films go this is true to the genre with a tad ofContinue reading “RKS 2024 Film: “Night of the Harvest”: Psycho Sisters Enjoy the Big Halloween Party”

RKS 2024 Film: “In a Violent Nature”: Horror on the Screen and in the Screening Room

As a journalist I have learnt over the years that you never know when your next story can jump out at you while in the midst of working on your target story. Years ago I was doing a sociology project which took me to a large theatre on St. Catherine Street in Montreal by theContinue reading “RKS 2024 Film: “In a Violent Nature”: Horror on the Screen and in the Screening Room”

RKS 2024 Film: “Place of Bones”: The Good, Bad, Ugly and a Taste for the Finer Things in Life: Canadian Film Fest

I can’t think of any Canadian westerns I have encountered so I snapped up the opportunity to watch “Place of Bones” set in 1876 Canada. In many respects it is a traditional 1950’s and 1960’s western. Good god-fearing sodbusters Pandora Meadow (Heather Graham) and her daughter Hester (Brielle Robillard) living a marginal existence in aContinue reading “RKS 2024 Film: “Place of Bones”: The Good, Bad, Ugly and a Taste for the Finer Things in Life: Canadian Film Fest”

“Reggie The Egyptian Rescue Dog”: The Final Cut: Reviewing the Script of a “Dog Saved My Life” With Nicole Kidman: Paco Saves Nicole Kidman: Mr. Gordon Lightfoot’s New SMASH HIT: Chapter Sixty Three (63)

Before the big cast BBQ tomorrow Nicole (we are on a first name basis) convenes a cast meeting. To relax the atmosphere Mr. Gordon Lightfoot grabs his guitar out and sings “The Wreck of The Edmund Fitzgerald”. Bosco, Dylan the Westie, Penny and I are so pumped up! Are we dreaming? Mr. Gordon Lightfoot playsContinue reading ““Reggie The Egyptian Rescue Dog”: The Final Cut: Reviewing the Script of a “Dog Saved My Life” With Nicole Kidman: Paco Saves Nicole Kidman: Mr. Gordon Lightfoot’s New SMASH HIT: Chapter Sixty Three (63)”

RKS 2024 Film: “The Omicron Killer”: A Film Trying to Discover Itself

I am uncertain how many viewers want reminders of COVID triggered by “The Omicron Killer”. The Omicron Killer is a New York City serial killer preferring kills of the bashing as opposed to the slashing method. I can’t find any scenes that remind me of New York City. Outdoor scenes could be in New Jersey!Continue reading “RKS 2024 Film: “The Omicron Killer”: A Film Trying to Discover Itself”

RKS 2024 Film: “There is a Monster”:  I Have Seen This Monster

Jack Terry (Joey Collins) is a successful commercial photographer. He is on the verge of an enormously successful series of shoots. Everything is going his way except his relationship with his wife Carol (Ena O’Rourke) which hit the skids after a brief drunken fling with a model he was photographing. Jack frequently sees a monsterContinue reading “RKS 2024 Film: “There is a Monster”:  I Have Seen This Monster”
