I heard Bob saying to Fay DylanContinue reading ““Reggie The Egyptian Rescue Dog”: The Final Cut: Our Second Disney Promotional Tour: Reggie Goes to Australia to Screen Test for Nicole Kidman’s New Movie: Reggie Prays with the Ayatollah in Tehran: Chapter Sixty One (61)”

RKS 2024 Film: “Sometimes I Think About Dying”: Triple Captivation
“Sometimes I Think About Dying” offers viewers triple captivation. Daisy Ridley as Fran captivates. The offbeat musical score captivates. The inventive and tight directing and writing captivates. Fran is a most uncaptivating woman. Awkward, isolated, lonely and seemingly unable to make any meaningful human connection. In the midst of fellow workers at a small officeContinue reading “RKS 2024 Film: “Sometimes I Think About Dying”: Triple Captivation”

RKS 2024 Film: “Come Lie with Me” (Arrête avec tes mesonges): The Torture of Remaining in the Closet
I take issue with the translation of “Arrête avec tes mesonges” which in my French means “stop with your lies” far more appropriate than “Come Lie with Me” given the path and plot of the film. You see Stéphane Belcourt (Guillame de Tonquédec) is a gay novelist who is quite out of the closet. OnContinue reading “RKS 2024 Film: “Come Lie with Me” (Arrête avec tes mesonges): The Torture of Remaining in the Closet”
