'Boondock Saints' makes unwelcome return

Full story: HeraldTimesOnline.com

Norman Reedus, left, and Sean Patrick Flanery are shown in a scene from "The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day." Apparition Films Cult classics - like Ed Wood's films and "Showgirls" - are often defined by their flaws as much as their merits.

Call me a neanderthal barbarian, but I thought the original was funny.

It seems to be the inner myth that all Irish men thrive on, but will never admit to. I'm reminded of James Joyce's "oh the dreaming. the never ending, never satisfying dreaming" The need for heroics, no matter how inappropriate. Now that's one movie I want to see!

My wife and I thuoguhly enjoyed watching a rental of "II" today, it was excellent and I can't wait for "III" to come out.

We'll be watching the original, we own a copy of that, tomorrow for the second time.

10 years off may have been a little too much...

Daily Horoscope for June 4

Aries

Take care today Aries, because the emotional landscape in your neighborhood will be full of pitfalls during the coming fortnight, as it has been since the Solar Eclipse on May 20. The more convinced you are that you're right, the harder it will be to navigate your way around forthcoming events. If you feel resentful of someone, perhaps a neighbor or sibling, you need to get your feelings out in the open, rather than burying them deeper, where they'll fester and lead to more problems in the long run.
