Iffy ‘Saints’ come marching back review

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 05:00:00 GMT

Cult classics are often defined by their flaws as much as their merits. “Boondock Saints,” the 1999 film that achieved cult status on DVD and now has spawned a sequel, certainly had plenty of flaws.

Seriously good review

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 05:00:00 GMT

We’ve come to expect drollery and eccentricity from Joel and Ethan Coen. With works like “Blood Simple,” “Miller’s Crossing” and the Oscar-winning “No Country for Old Men,” the filmmakers have specialized in ruthlessly comic, often mercilessly bleak anatomies of the foibles of ordinary men.

Faces take on musculature, expression and detail.

Meet some masters of the spoken word

Sun, 01 Nov 2009 05:00:00 GMT

Master of ceremonies Joe Reggie draped a thick black chain around the podium to set the mood. Then, thanks to a few quick costume changes, he treated his audience to a forest-ranger hat, a viking mask, a Rip Van Winkle mask and various other disguises.
