Overnight

Having seen this documentary several times I am still struck by the sheer idiocy and mania of the subject, Troy Duffy. For those of you who don't know, Troy Duffy was the overnight sensation who wrote Boondock Saints and sold it to Miramax for a cool $1Million + the bar he was working in...that's right, Miramax threw in the deed to the bar! He then wormed his way into directing the film and secured a huge recording contract for his band "The Brood".

Then he pissed it all away.

The film is a case study of paranoid maniac being indulged until no one can take it anymore. He pisses off everyone around him and sinks his career while trying to control every tiny aspect of everything around him...all the time thinking his shit don't stink and everyone else on the planet is an idiot deserving his derision.

The doc is not great. It's hardly Errol Morris quality, but the story and subject are truly one of a kind.

ANYONE wanting to work in Hollywood needs to see this film. It should be required viewing in all film schools.

9/10

Wild Hogs. John McGinley could have had a bigger part, but cool movie.

So I actually watched The Descent last night and I think it may just be my new favourite. Very well done and made me quite jumpy. I thought it was a very fun movie :)

Go watch it if you haven't.

Pretty much. I liked the Special Edition ones just for the fact that it had slightly better graphics on the ships and a few of the characters. Other than that, the original versions were better.

I didn't really care for this movie, but maybe it's because I feel safer in small places.
