Over The Top Doesn't Get Any Cooler

I know I'll get an eye-roll from at least one person for posting this, but oh well. I'm sure it will be better than the Shanghai Noon sequel.


I guess I overlook the Catholic minstrelsy and juvenile male fantasizing in a few scenes so as to enjoy the roller-coaster ride. I mean, come on—who hasn't thought about how cool it would be to kill a Russian mobster with a toilet?

  2. I didn't see "overnight", which I've heard explains why this movie has basically been 10 years in the making. But I've watched enough of Troy Duffy's youtube videos to get the profile down. He's a real nut. His films are in your uber-male zone for sure, along with 300, which looks to have become an influence for All Saints' Day (e.g., stop action, then speed up). This is appropriate since the Boondock Saints is really comic book material.
