A Note...

... to our loyal readers.

Guy is in Sweden, currently, and Girl is in Canada. No, we did not split up, as one of you has commented, but we do come from different sides of the world and this tends to happen when you are stupid enough to get involved in a long distance relationship.

So! To those of you who are expecting this website to be kept up to date on a regular basis (even after the fact that this has never happened so far), you will be disappointed.

But! We will try to watch the same movies, and we will try to write reviews about them at some point, then try to post those reviews on a semi-timely basis... maybe.

Some of you may call this a stilted promise, but we just call it reality. Unlike Lindsay Lohan, we have our feet planted firmly in it.

THE BOONDOCK SAINTS II: ALL SAINTS DAY

Guy’s blah blah blah...


I saw this documentary a while back called “Overnight”. It’s pretty much a movie about Troy Duffy the writer and director of the “Boondock” franchise. It shows you how a regular guy turns to a complete asshole after gaining some sort of fame. He had it all and pissed it away. I like the first “Boondock Saints” movie, but this... I don’t know.


This one starts off with a killing of a priest. The father is killed the same way as the boondock brothers kill. They now live in a little house in Ireland with their father. Well, they find out about the killing and go back to clear their names. On the boat back to America, they find a Mexican dude to team up with that is almost as insane as them. After a couple of days they show up, find out that it’s an old rival to their father that is behind all this shit and then kills everybody.


“All Saints Day” is not as good as its predecessor, not even close. The dialogue is stupid, the actors, director and the script. There is nothing saving this and I think it they should have left this movie alone. I guess Troy Duffy had to make this though knowing that this was the only card he was holding. On another note, what has happened to Sean Patrick Flanery’s face? Is it botox or just a broken nose? Either way now he looks like post surgery Kenny Rogers.


Guy’s Rating: Pick up the first one instead.


Girl's crap...


Horrible! That mexican guy made this movie slap-stick and more similar to a B comedy than an action-packed thriller. Whoever gave the A-OK on the script obviously did not read it. They were banking on the following from the last film, but the last film was a fucking movie! Not a shit-show.


It wasn't just the dialogue or the characters or Sean Patrick Flanery's face, it was the music, the choreographic, the costumes. It was like everyone involved in this project went "Fuck it!" The only time saying that works is when you are on set of a Terry Gilliam movie, because chances are it'll make just as much sense as if you were to take it seriously. This is no Gilliam's creation, so they should have taken it seriously! I mean, come on! A mexican and two Irishmen? You've got to be kidding me... That would never happen!


Girl's Rating: Shit. I'm not even going to waste time uploading photos.
