Chow Yun Fat to Let the Bullets Fly

The Long, Strange Odyssey of Troy Duffy and Boondock Saints II

I will admit to being a fan of Troy Duffy’s 1999 movie “Boondock Saints” (made for $6 million, the film has gone on to gross over $40 million so far), and yes, I’m even looking forward to the sequel, “Boondock Saints: All Saints Day”. This, despite the fact that I...

Mad Max 4 with Charlize Theron? Tom Hardy? WTF?

See, this is why I don’t think they should even bother making another “Mad Max” movie without Mel Gibson. It just ain’t gonna turn out so good. Sure, like every warm-blooded American male, I wouldn’t mind seeing Charlize Theron in skin-tight black leather running around...

The Tournament (2009) Movie Review

Scott Mann’s “The Tournament” looks and feels like an ‘90s action movie, the kind that relies on an overly simplified premise that is supposed to pass for a storyline, but is really just an excuse for a whole lot of wanton bloodshed. Mind you, not that that’s a bad thing. In this case, it just...
