Indeed it was, but I have a soft spot for this movie for some reason.

Probably the idea of taking the law into your own hands and killing scum.

This was definitely a "put your brain in park for a couple hours" show.

** all the news footage in "Boondock Saints", especially the montage of people at the very end. it's so dumb and so poorly done that it lowers my opinion of the entire movie. i'm convinced the studio added it.

if you watch the movie commentary with troy duffy (writer/director) he talks about how he interviewed his friends, neighbors from his apartment building and random people on the street to get the fake news footage shots.

really? b/c that scene is one of the worst things he could have done there, doesn't fit the rest of the film, and shows a complete lack of knowledge of how news is filmed.

Rounders - seriously...how mad would you have to be to turn down a horny-for-you Famke Janssen? I mean...I don't even think it's possible for me to get so distracted that I would not go straight into the bedroom.
Also...the read at the judges' game is simply ridiculous.

Man on Fire - the one scene that keeps this movie from greatness is the end scene. Without giving it away, let's just say that I think there was a better way to handle it, rather than just getting into the car...why not on the bridge?

Revenge of the Sith - Wait a minute...Count Dooku is able to hold his own against Yoda but Anakin beheads him in under a minute now? So...is Anakin already better than Yoda? I highly doubt it.

Hoosiers - Gene Hackman and Barbara Hershey hate each other...so they make out.

*I would also like to mention that nearly every romantic comedy is comprised of people acting improbably.

*Also...I love'em, but at some point, size would become an issue for Rocky...especially against Drago. Sly is, at most, 5' 10", and Dolph Lundgren is 6' 4" or more...six inches of difference in a boxing match is almost ludicrous to overcome.

In the James Bond movie "Goldeneye" I thought it was pretty ridiculous when he jumps off a cliff riding a motorcycle and then somehow he and his bike fall at a faster rate then the plane and he is able to skydive into the door of the plane.
