My friend and I have this gag going on that we each buy horrible DVDs for eachothers birthday. Well, this was my present. We watched it together and could not stop laughing at the terrible acting. It even came to the point where we had to rewind and repeat a portion of the movie when the terrorist(whatever?) is in the back of the cop car and the cop calms him down by pointing a finger at him and scolds him telling him to stay calm and wait there. You must see the scene to realize the pathetic atempt at any sort of story. The dinosaurs appear to be on wheeled carts. The filmwork is absolutely pathetic and to a point funny. Adding special effects for no reason other than the movie is horrible. IT was quite a gag gift... but don't ever rent this with the expectations of seeing something that won't make you laugh.

Caught in the wonderful war of Blockbuster trying to run a monopoly on some movies (see Pi), Boondock Saints will never get the publicity it deserves. There is something for every decent movie fan in this wonderfully directed (first time director Troy Duffy) film. We can start with Duffy. He was a bartender who wrote the script, was wooed by Miramax and then dumped because he didn't want to play by the Hollywood rules. (See Oliver Stone Platton and Kubrick). I have respect for men who want to do movies the way THEY want to, not the way people tell them to do it. Next move on to the pure comedy of the movie. I laughed as much in this movie as i have in any Tarintino movie, and comparisons, other than the time segments is not fair. The movie can stand on its own without any comparisons made. The numerous jokes made about Vigilantes and Charlie Bronson were also an excellent add in. The pure violence in the movie was smooth, not too excessive but there was enough to make it not fall into that boring/too fake violence era known as the 80s. The plot is simple enough, two brothers becomming vigilantes by accident and finding themselves strangely good at it. "We're good...YES WE ARE." But not TOO good, pretty much it seems as if The Hand of God IS guiding them and getting them out of trouble. Its not too religious, its not too much bullshit, its a great blend of action and comedy. The question is WHY NOT can't this happen? A great added bonus to the movie is the interviews at the end, perhaps poking fun at the american public and the media. There are some good comments.

Conclusion: This is one the best movies that will never make it to theaters....because Hollywood didn't let it.

Bio-Dome is a stupid comedy about two goof-offs who get trapped in an environmental project. (Once again casting Pauly Shore as his usually *&@#-up self). Its funny, it is funny, one his better movies(not saying any of them are that good). Anyone who looks for more than a few laughs in this movie is an idiot. The key to liking movies is finding something in each of them that entertains you, they aren't all going to be Schindler's List and move you emotionally. Think of each movie as a conversation a writer has with the audience. Do you say earth-shattering things all the time? Neither does this movie. This movie is the 'you're drunk around the campground saying some things funny but never really making a point' of movies. Take it for that and it does just fine.
