MTV Movies brings us a new poster and a few “exclusive” official stills from the upcoming Boondock Saints 2: All Saints Day, and, unfortunately, the poster is far less than impressive. For one thing, the MacManus brothers have adopted the same pose as Angelina Jolie’s Wanted character poster. Also, this praying-with-guns shit is nothing new [...]

Oh, that Lars von Trier is just so edgy. Such a calculated stance often creates an (arguably) unjustified interest in one’s work, but it also creates certain unavoidable difficulties.

So, when von Trier admits that his latest offering, Antichrist was a “type of therapy” for his own depression, this should be ample warning that the [...]

Appropriately straggling in after Saint Patrick’s Day is the news that a Boondock Saints sequel, All Saints Day has been greenlit by Sony Pictures Studios and shall commence filming this summer. Director Troy Duffy has already posted a YouTube announcement to this effect. Now, I have mixed feelings about this, which sort of reflects my [...]
