Okay I'll admit, I'm in love with McManus brothers. I think every girl who has ever seen The Boondock Saints would agree with me that Irish guys seem a lot hotter now. And who doesn't think that they're tattoos totally kick ass? I once went to a "word on your arm" party....yep, "veritas." Yesterday, I watched about the first half of the movie with my friend before I had to go leave to watch some intense ACC basketball (UNC>Duke, 79-71 btw). And while I love pretty much everything about Boondock Saints, including that exceptional score, I started to wonder about the actual theme of the movie. The idea of everyday citizens taking the law into their own hands when the local law enforcement fails. If would be nice if cops were successful at their jobs and not corrupt all the time (Departed anyone?), but well this isn't Camelot. It's more like Notthingham (Robin Hood is just all over this blog). Sometimes ordinary citizens can get the job done better then the police, well in the case of a movie.
That was sort of a rambling, but that's how my head works. And for all you Boondock fans out there, All Saints Day is POST PRODUCTION. That means Troy Duffy won't run out of money while filming because it's already done! Woohoo! No release day announced yet, but I'll be waiting....http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1300851/

Its funny you're writing about this movie, my room mate and I were watching The Usual Suspects (another fantastic crime movie) the other night and some how Boondock was brought up. Easily one of my all time favorites.
