WHO IS KK DOWNEY


DAY 5 part duex,


Short film The bumblebee man by Ryan Caven well think ballet Shakespeare English and that's the bumblebee man. Musical and weird dancing short not so scary which is why it went so well with who is KK downey..

Darren curtis and Pat Kiely directered the interesting film indeed, part thriller, seemed semi autobiographical ala docu-fiction, but the acting totally bring the hysterical laughter to this film.. I want the novel Truck Stop Hustler to be real but atlas it is just a great prop.. Think the famous words by Andy wharol 15 min but instead the 2 main characters get 90 min of fame.. what makes it so horrifically funny is satire on the hipster crowd something we Canadians can so identify with especially if you live in the queen west, parkdale or Roncevelles area...


Music used in the film you bet your bottom dollar and no soundtrack to boot..

Hey producers one other way to get the film marketed to the public is if possible cut a your own self C.D that you can sell or send out to drum up publicity for the film the other side could have been fictitious reading of the Book Truck Stop Hustler by the real KK downey books on tape sell man..

DAY 5

Vampire theme through out.
Short film : Ending The Eternal Justin McConnell 14min short all about a vampire who does not want to wake up anymore and finally really eternally sleep.. The killers for hire screwed up and ended in funny tragedy.

Next first person narrative comedy romantic horror vampire office style or takeoff or rip off depending on which side you are on.
Cast of known and un-known SNL Darell Hammond, KINTH Dave Foley, Clerks Jason Mewes, BFC Judd Nelson and small cameo by Robert Wagner round this cast of comedy made me wish I got to see the Swedish vampire movie.

4BIA (PHOBIA)

ALL THE WAY from Thailand we got 4 films put into one first one text, broken leg isolation and day of the dead all come together to start the audience off my self included screaming. The second cgi driven was just as scary but might not have been a fan favorite because the cgi was not scary enough for the audience..
Vengeance was heavily portrayed and revenge was severed scorching hot story simple school gang bullied and killed the wrong kid and he took out his anger in the most killing fashion.
the third film was laugh horror release 4 friends go camping white water rafting and tell ghost stories and what would happen if one of the four is killed or dies on the trip. Laugh and small dose of scare explode from this story and it prepares us for the last in the 4BIA betrayal murder? thriller or just jealousy don't know on this one story steward must accompany the princess back home. Last short in the 4 part series and the most confusing could not really get why the spirit of the princess was haunting the young stewardess..

The short lucky 10 was short sweet but hardly remember able but except for the fact the entrounge group who came to see their son family or friend's film on the big screen.. I'm sure all were proud of Manny Kargov.

next who is kk downey.

Toronto after dark day 4 -5

Red

So Monday first film thriller in small town RED by Trygve Diesen and Lucky McKee Cast Brian Cox Tom Sizemore under used Robert England and Amanda Plummer. Revenge, anger and finally a pay off in the end is how I would describe this film..

I want to read Jack Ketchum books it's seems his stuff is being made into films ala Stephen king. and this film was interesting indeed, what should you do when your dog is killed by the town's bully.. Every thing Brian Cox's character did was something we all would have done.. The difference is the quiet seething anger Mr cox portrayed is spectacular..

Even though there was no blood guts and gore in this film it was still interesting entry in to the festival this year, Oscar buzz well we see what happens through out the year but it surely should be a contender. The story was simple and well acted by all involved the audience could feel the main character's pain and the simple not realized love story between Av Ludlow and the reporter was a nice surprise..

Morality tale with a twist I hope all learn a lesson from this cautionary tale about revenge and seeking justice by any means necessary..

The short for the this film was VENGEANCE BY a Female Director Lanan Adcock hip hip hooray finally a female voice in the Horror, Sci-fi, action and cult genre. Peter Kuplowsky the programmer for short film found a gem in Ms Adcock's 5 min film.. about a women a crab and the sea went well with the longer film Red.

Almost forgot the use of music, colour red in both films were stylistically great way to portray anger or pure hate. ONE more thing Ms. Adcock come to T.o. to represent your film it would have been great to talk to you at the Pub After Dark..
