NIBS ▶ RUTH ROSE (PAINTER / SELF PROCLAIMED PSYCHIC / LOST BOYS MYSTERIES INC ● 27 ● VICTORIA PEDRETTI ● TAKEN) 

Fran never wanted to have kids and had her whole life ahead of her. She was not going to waste her teenage years changing diapers when she could be partying with her friends. And so as soon as baby Ruth was delivered she left her in the hospital for someone else to deal with what she called the greatest inconvenience of her life. 

Saul and Stella Rose always wanted a girl, so they decided to give Ruth a home and take her on the road with them. Her childhood was not the most conventional one since she spent most of it moving from one end of the country to the other while her parents performed their magic act. It was when she was seven that they started incorporating the children in their act and Ruth was more than happy to dazzle people with her “psychic abilities”. She was a smart kid and she knew that it was all make believe and that they were all tricking people in order to get their money. 

Life on the road was fun but her parents eventually decided to settle down and buy a house on the outskirts of Grimmbrook. Ruth was not all that happy for this change because she loved traveling and performing. Out of her siblings she was the one who found it the hardest to get used to their new life, the new school, friends, etc. When the discovery that their house was haunted Ruth was not scared, but excited. Finally, her life was back to being interesting.

It had been her brother’s idea to start investigating the paranormal and what began as a silly idea for a club grew into an actual business. Because of her long experience pretending to be a psychic, Ruth found it easy to jump into that role again. Sometimes she does feel bad that she is making people believe that they are talking to a loved one, or that their house has a poltergeist but at the same time she believes she is helping people move on and get some closure. 

With everything going around in Grimmbrook lately she has convinced Riley to focus more on the events happening in town than play pretend. 

CONNECTIONS ▶

RILEY & REGINALD ROSE: Her family. They’re both her favorite people and she’ll fight anyone who does anything to hurt either of them. Forever the little sister, she adores them both and loves to learn from them but also isn’t a pushover. She’s been known to resist certain ideas when it comes to Lost Boys Inc and to pursue others until they’ve convinced of it. They make a great team, balancing each other out perfectly. 

JAMIE HSI: Ruth saw an advertisement for one of their acting class, and she knew she just had to go. She’d never had any professional experience or training, but she’d been acting all her life. She had no plans and went to check the class out. Instantly, the two bonded. With a flare for the dramatic, they demonstrated a scene together and it flowed so well. It was like they were born to be acting partners. The two got to talking after class, and Jamie was surprised to learn she had no training. They were fast friends, and she’s even dragged her siblings to their classes. 

LEON BERNARD: He made an appointment a few months back, said he wanted to know how his club would do and though Ruth told him she didn’t work like that, he was willing to pay quite a bit of money so she gave him the session anyway, claiming something about franchising and making sure to keep his brother by his side for success. She doesn’t feel so bad about that part, with two brothers of her own, she knows they can be the most important people.

ALICE SUMMER: She thinks Alice is bit of a kindred spirit – the woman is a bit...odd too. Ruth has been called a lot of things her life so when she heard someone telling Alice off for asking too many questions at a book signing Q&A at Tale As Old As Time, she stepped in. Ruth threw on the old hat trick and pretended to have a vision right in the middle of the signing, one that told of the rude individual’s impending doom. After, she caught up to Alice and told her to keep asking questions or no one else would.

FRANCESCA FITZGERALD:  The woman recently asked to do a mini docu-series on Lost Boys Inc., something about expanding her portfolio. She approached Ruth about it at a coffee shop and while she’s not sure how she feels about it, she told Frankie she’d ask her brothers and let her know. With everything going on in town, she’s not had a chance to but Francesca keeps checking in so Ruth plans to bring it up to them soon.

THE SON OF KONG (Dir: Ernest B Schoedsack, 1933).

How would the makers of Son of Kong manage to top the groundbreaking, blockbuster original King Kong (Merian C Cooper & Ernest Schoedsack, 1933)? Short answer: they wouldn’t. But neither did they try. Ernest Schoedsack returns as producer/director but Merian C Cooper, his collaborator on the first movie, bowed out when RKO slashed the budget. Scriptwriter Ruth Rose also returns, as do cast members Robert Armstrong as Denham and Victor Wong as Charlie the Cook.

A month after the disastrous events of the first movie, beleaguered showman and moviemaker Carl Denham escapes his creditors by chartering a ship to Kong's Skull Island, in search of mythical hidden treasure. Joined by an animal trainer cum singer (Helen Mack) and shady ships' captain (Frank Reicher) and faithful cook Charlie, the gang are cast overboard by a mutinous crew and arrive on the island via rowboat. After a hostile encounter with the native islanders they encounter the ape sinking into quicksand. Denham and the singer rescue pint-sized Kong who then befriends the pair as they battle a cave bear and brave a massive earthquake in their search for riches.

Although this movie lacks the grandiose special effects set pieces of the original King Kong, Kong Jr is still an impressive beast. Smaller than his pa at 12 foot, as opposed to Kong’s 20ish foot, Kong Jr is also more anthropomorphised than his father. The stop motion ape is, once again, beautifully animated by special effects genius Willis O’Brien. Yet with more human like expressions he is less menacing than his dad, but likewise less sympathetic.

Son of Kong adopts a much lighter, more comic tone than its predecessor and a result the movie is, sadly, less impressive, less poignant and less engaging than the original King Kong. But it is by no means the disaster it was initially perceived to be. Its special effects are still superlative; the performances are strong and at barely 70 minutes it doesn’t outstay its welcome. Lower your expectations (slightly) and you will find The Son of Kong a highly entertaining time waster.
