Californication Review: "So Here's the Thing..."
8 November 2009 8:15 PM, PST | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
Welcome to the mid-season slump! Talk about a boring episode! In the most recent episode of Californication, "So Here's the Thing," Hank almost breaks up with all of his campus affairs, but he doesn't succeed at all... so the 29 minutes of the show is pretty much a bunch of failures in communication - but not at all funny. There weren't even any witty one-liners this episode! Snore!
And iconic actor Peter Fonda made a cameo as one of Sue Collini's most important clients. There really was no story line here - he threatens to join another agency, and then concedes within 5 minutes - all within the same scene. Zzzzz...
Ah, yes! There was one redeeming moment of the episode! During Hank's unsuccessful break-up lunch with Jill, she sees her ex boyfriend who wasted years of her life (and most importantly, her reproductive golden years) in a relationship with her and »

The Blu-Ray Review: Easy Rider
4 November 2009 8:59 AM, PST | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
While I definitely acknowledge that Easy Rider is a classic film, that doesn't mean I think it's very good. Confusing? Perhaps, but it doesn't have to be.
To me, a "classic" is anything that stands the test of time and remains enjoyable after many years or that made a significant impact upon the genre. I'd argue that Rider doesn't qualify in the former category but that it certainly meets the latter criteria. When I watched the original DVD, it was the third time I saw Easy Rider. I first viewed it on VHS about 15 years earlier and I absolutely loathed it. Since I didn't really experience the Sixties firsthand - I only lived through two and a half years of that decade, so for some strange reason, my memories of it remain few - I have to rely on the media's depictions to give me knowledge of it.

Expected: ‘Boondock Saints II’ to open in more cities
4 November 2009 8:26 AM, PST | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »
It was only a mater of time.
Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day will expand to more theaters across the nation after the sequel to the 1999 cult hit performed well in limited release. Film distributor Apparition will open the movie in more cities including San Francisco, Dallas, San Diego, Chicago, Detroit, Atlanta and Houston on November 13th.
Boondock Saints II nabbed $500,000 last weekend in Los Angeles in New York. Using a tactic most recently used by Paramount’s Paranormal Activity, producers set up a web page asking fans to “demand” that the film be shown in their area.
Directed by Troy Duff , the Boondock sequel stars Norman Reedus, Sean Patrick Flanery, Clifton Collins, Julie Benz, Judd Nelson, Robert Cochrane Marley Jr., Brian Mahoney, David Ferry, David Della Rocco, Peter Fonda and Billy Connolly.

Jack Nicholson, Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper smoked real cannabis during a scene for movie classic Easy Rider.
Fonda has confessed the trio used "real pot" to capture the moment Nicholson's character tries the drug for the first time.
But he refutes longstanding rumours they took Lsd on the set of the 1969 movie.
Fonda tells Extra, "We did not take Lsd, no matter what the rumours say. You can't make a movie when you're ripped like that." »

Exclusive Video: Sean Patrick Flanery and Norman Reedus Are Back in The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day
30 October 2009 10:55 AM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Way back in 1999, a film unbeknownst to practically everyone, was released in a miniscule theatrical rollout before it hit the shelves on DVD, then only available at Blockbuster. As the word-of-mouth kept growing and growing, the DVD was finally available for purchase in 2002 and not long after that, Troy Duffy's The Boondock Saints became a cult phenomena, the likes of which are rarely seen in the movie biz. Now, a decade later, Troy Duffy is finally able to round up the Saints once more for the highly-anticipated sequel The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day, which will be released in theaters on October 30.
Of course, the Saints themselves, Sean Patrick Flanery as Connor, Norman Reedus as Murphy, and Billy Connolly as their father, Il Duce (or Poppa M) have returned for the sequel, but we also get some new faces in the mix as well. Clifton Collins Jr., a »
'The Boondock Saints II': Sloppy Second, By Kurt Loder

Director Troy Duffy does it again. Why?

Having been unable to sit through the 1999 "Boondock Saints" in its wretched entirety, I've been surprised to watch it become a massive "cult hit" on DVD. Blockbuster-stoked fan enthusiasm has propelled it into the top 20 of all catalog titles currently on sale, and to number 12 in Blu-ray unit sales. So shut my mouth.
Now comes director Troy Duffy's flatulent sequel, "The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day." Ten years in the contemplation! It doesn't feel quite that long to sit through in its wretched entirety (which I did this time), but I still can't imagine any but the most easily entertained being willing to do so.
The new movie opens where the last one left off, more or less. Twin brothers »
Troy Duffy Still Packs a Punch
29 October 2009 10:22 AM, PDT | ifc.com | See recent IFC news »
There are really two reasons why you'd recognize the name of writer/director Troy Duffy. One, you're a member of the energized fan base who can recite every line of his 1999 debut, "The Boondock Saints." A John Woo-styled crime thriller that first trickled out in a perfunctory release, Duffy's blood-soaked tale of Irish Catholic twins who go vigilante on some Boston mobsters slowly grew into a monstrous cult hit on home video. But if you haven't seen it, the only other way you'd know Duffy is from the 2003 doc "Overnight," a behind-the-scenes chronicle of the "Boondock" production, in which the novice filmmaker is depicted as an arrogant jerk who shoots his mouth off, alienating his golden-boy relationship with the Weinstein brothers, who pulled out of financing the movie before shooting started.
Finally getting the multiplex treatment, Duffy returns with "The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day." Norman Reedus, Sean Patrick Flanery »

The film catches up with the McManus brothers in the emerald countryside of Ireland, five years after they stormed the Boston courthouse to assassinate a local Mafia don.

Demand to See ‘Boondock Saints II’ in Your Town
26 October 2009 8:21 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Apparently, there is a new and developing trend in Hollywood and it all started with the breakout hit Paranormal Activity. You see, a few weeks ago Paramount wasn’t planning on giving Paranormal Activity a wide release, but then word started spreading about the film and its popularity grew. What happened next was nothing short of a miracle. The director and producers put a link at the end of the trailer where moviegoers across the nation could “demand” the film be shown in their town. The viral marketing worked and this weekend Paranormal Activity dethroned Saw VI to become the reigning Halloween champ.
The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day, Troy Duffy’s long awaited sequel, opens in New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Rhode Island and New Jersey this Friday, October 30th, which is great news for fans living in those New England states - however the rest of us are out of luck. »

'Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen' Rolls Out, 'Blood' Leaks And More, In The DVD Report For October 20
20 October 2009 3:00 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
It's big, it's loud and now the bonafide monster film of the year is rolling out on store shelves. Michael Bay's "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" made gobs of money at the box office and now it almost singled-handedly owns the release calendar this week. But a few other titles do manage to break through the shape-shifting pack, and we'll cover them all in this DVD Report for Tuesday, October 20, 2009.
There's not much purpose in rehashing the plot to "Revenge of the Fallen," the follow-up to the bombastic intergalactic war between the Autobots and the Decepticons. Anyone interested in the DVD and Blu-ray has already seen the film, so the only thing really worth discussing are whether the presentation and special features make it a must-own. Well, if you count yourself a fan of the robot-friendly franchise, then it's a definite yes. Like the first film's home video release, »
