Hello!
and welcome to another day of the DeFranco Movie Club thing
where we watch a new movie everyday,
it's coming close to an end
after today, we only have three more days
three more movies
all the the things we've gone through,
of course if you are new to the DeFranco Nation Movie Club,
we've been watching a new movie everyday
there are tons of ways to watch them
thank you to those of you that have shown support
in manys ways,
some of you doing it through netflix.com/phillyd
when you use that url,
you get a free month trial of instant streaming movies,
like the one we're going to watch today
which is the Boondock Saints
the Boondock Saints is described as:
Sensing a God-given mission to cleanse the earth of all evil,
twin brothers Conner and Murphy set out to rid Boston of crime.
But instead of joining the police force,
these Irish Americans decide to kick criminal butt their own way.
Willem Dafoe co-stars in writer-director Troy Duffy's
crime thriller as the openly gay FBI special agent
who's assigned to investigate the siblings' activities.
So I will admit I got excited when
a bunch of you guys recommended this movie because
it's actually one of my favorite movies
but it has been a while since I revisited it,
so I'm going to do that,
you're going to watch a 15 second trailer,
then we're going to come back
and we're going to have a chat.
And back!
Like I said before,
the Boondock Saints is easily one of my favorite movies of all time
just because I love
I love me a good revenge movie
the will of the righteous smiting evil
so essentially, you start off, you have these two Irish brothers
they're just guys, until one night,
they say God visited them, sure, I'm down for that
so they decide they're going to be the angel of death
and they start taking out people
and the way they do this is through
really fun time management
usually going to the crime scene after it's already happened
then Willem Dafoe using his amazing Willem Dafoeness
to figure out how the crime actually went down
and then the director takes you thorugh what happened,
and usually it's some like crazy
far out way,
far out man,
now I will say this is one of those movies
that you either love or you hate
that's usually the case
this is one of those movies I saw in college and high school
and I was like *** yes!
my two favorite movies in high school,
such a cliche, was the Boondock Saints and Donnie Darko
and I like Donnie Darko more
before they released the extened cut,
but this movie is kind of fantastic
because it goes into the nature of crime
and you kind of just enjoy it
because you're just like "Ah swift justice!"
it's not going to be one of those things
were like a scumbag gets off
through like his scummy lawyer bribing somebody,
and it's just one of those movies where you're like
rooting for them the entire movie,
then enter in the idea of the trinity
and their poor Italian friend
I loved him, he was so classically flawed
"You shot the *** cat, man!"
I love this movie so much I've purposely
not seen the sequel
I've heard terrible things about the sequel
I refuse to watch it,
I would watch the Human Centipede seven times in a row
before I'd watch the sequel to this movie
just because I hate that it could possibly ruin a classic for me,
of course, I'd love to know what you thought about the movie
you're favorite kill scene, what stood out to you
things and such and words,
but we're switching it up a little bit
but only little, because tonight you're movie watching homework is
to watch Law Abiding Citizen
of course, if you've already seen it,
or after you watch it,
send a video reponse to this video giving
your opinion/review/whatever you thought about that movie,
you might be in tomorrow's show,
I can't believe only three more days,
but guys I'm going to leave you to it
of course, thanks again to all of you
