The first time I watched the cult classic action film The Boondock Saints, I was seventeen and immediately fell in with the 93% fresh rating from audience members on Rotten Tomatoes. A certified rotten, 17% rating from critics? Psh, I didn’t care.
Years later, I now know the truth. This is a terrible movie. It’s beyond even laughably bad and into the realm of just plain outright bad. As I re-watched it for this column, I couldn’t help but keep saying things like “this doesn’t make sense. This – this, it – this movie doesn’t make any sense! What’s going on?...

“Just that it’s happening, and it’s going to be bigger,” Norman Reedus told ComingSoon when asked about the third film. “Yeah, it’s the group that did the John Wick stuff, so they’re making a big thing of it. Yeah, the opening scene of it, I think they’re keeping the original script idea, which is awesome, you know. So there’s obviously we have to break out of jail. We’re in jail, you know.

Quentin Tarantino‘s 1994 sophomore feature Pulp Fiction wasn’t just a major break out hit. It changed the face of cinema in the 1990s, both by helping bring attention to indie and foreign films, and by inspiring a host imitators. When audiences lined up to watch Tarantino’s bloody, whip-smart movie, studios rushed to fill theaters and video stores with more stories about loquacious hitmen, monologuing bank robbers, and foul-mouthed gun molls.
In most cases, these knockoffs provided cheap thrills, heavy on the violence and pop-cultural references but low on Tarantino’s sense of composition and ear for unique dialogue. In the best cases, Pulp Fiction‘s success made way for other great movies to get made, oddball films ignored by the studios until Tarantino convinced them that they could make money.

It won't be Harrison Ford, but another icon has stepped up to fill those very big shoes.
Troy Baker will be the man tasked with bringing Indy to life in the much-anticipated game. Ford, for his part, left the role behind with his final turn as the character in last year's "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny." Now, it falls to Baker, who will get to put his stamp on the hero during his classic era,...

Television archaeologists take note: you don’t need to dig deep into the medium’s origins to uncover a diamond in the rough. Treasures can be found in the recent past. And one of those treasures involves the greatest fictional archaeologist of them all, Indiana Jones.
On March 4, 1992, ABC premiered the two-hour movie pilot of “The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles” in its 8 p.m. slot to much fanfare. The show’s titular hero was a younger (and older) version of Harrison Ford’s blockbuster icon, who at 10, 17, and yes, 93, had his own set of primetime adventures. Since the series was the brainchild of filmmaker and franchise-builder George Lucas, outlets like USA Today, The Washington Post and The New York Times covered it extensively. Lucas wanted his “Chronicles” to do what movies couldn’t: tell one big story over 20 to 40 hours of programming. In today’s streaming landscape, that sounds perfectly conventional,...

After five feature films, Indiana Jones may be finally hanging up his fedora.
“Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny,” which opens June 30, will be Harrison Ford’s last outing as the thrill-seeking archeologist.
Ford first played Indiana Jones in 1981’s “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” but did you know that 1984’s “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom” (the feature film debut of Oscar winner Ke Huy Quan) is set before “Raiders”?
Ford isn’t the only actor to play Indiana Jones. Sean Patrick Flanery played Jones in the aptly titled prequel series, “The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles,” which aired on ABC for two seasons in the early ’90s, followed by four made-for-tv films.

New York based actor, producer, filmmaker and former Capetonian – Stelio Savante – has joined thousands of South Africans in celebrating the South African Supreme Court’s ruling on citizenship. The court summary declared that it was constitutionally invalid for South Africans to lose their citizenship when acquiring those from other nations. The ruling comes after the Democratic Alliance (Da) appealed a high court order that originally dismissed the party’s application that the legislation was inconsistent with the South African constitution. However this new ruling reinstated Sa citizenship for all those who lost it.
Stelio Savante B – Photo Credit – Gene Silvers
Savante – who has 135 international credits to his name – described the elation that he and other South Africans were experiencing – “I gratefully wake to celebrate with the tens of thousands of fellow South Africans who’d unnecessarily and inadvertently been deprived of their citizenship courtesy of a flawed and contradictory law that violated international human rights.

Back in the early '90s, television audiences were treated to "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles" — which have now been retitled "The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones." These adventures explored the earliest adventures of everyone's favorite archeologist, long before he chose that as his profession.
The series is split with two actors playing Indy. The youngest, Corey Carrier, gets to examine Indiana Jones in his school days, whisked around the world by his parents with a tutor in tow. Those episodes put him in contact with everyone from Theodore Roosevelt to Pablo Picasso and were nothing short of charming. Sean Patrick Flanery took the role of Indiana Jones during his late teens and early 20s, a sliver of the part that was originated by River Phoenix in "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade."
Originally, each episode was bookended with an intro and outro from a one-eyed, 80-year-old Indiana Jones played by George Hall.

You may have heard the news by now that there's a new "Indiana Jones" movie set to hit theaters later this year, bringing Harrison Ford's decades-long portrayal of the famous archaeologist/part-time professor to a fitting end. After all these adventures involving punching Nazis, wrangling snakes, narrowly escaping judgment at the hands of the Almighty Himself, tussling with Russians and extraterrestrials, and punching some more Nazis (that seems to happen quite a lot), I think the good doctor has earned himself a nice long retirement, don't you?
But the end of the road isn't quite here just yet, luckily, and that gives fans just enough time to prepare accordingly for the upcoming "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny." Of course, that can only mean using these precious few months before release to marathon the entire "Indiana Jones" collection. And we mean the entire collection. Lucasfilm certainly isn't messing around,...

With James Mangold’s “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” making its out-of-competition Cannes bow on Thursday, the good people at Lucasfilm are offering up a compensatory prize to everyone suffering from Fomo. To get you ready for the June 30 release of the new film, the previous entries of the Indy canon will soon be available on Disney +.
True heads already know the movies can be viewed on Paramount+ but, no diss to our friends at that fine institution (especially everyone involved with “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds”), it’s fair to say that Disney+ has a bigger market share.
The big day is May 31. Home viewers will be able to watch Harrison Ford in the O.G. “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” (which is now called “Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark”), the 1981 masterpiece with the single greatest action sequence in all of cinema.

With the fifth Harrison Ford-starring period piece actioner set to premiere in Cannes on May 18 and worldwide on June 30, the platform will host the previous four Steven Spielberg-directed and George Lucas-produced “Indiana Jones” films and the decades-old television episodic beginning May 31.
“Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark,” originally titled just “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” will join “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom,” “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” and “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.” Alongside those Lucasfilm-produced and Paramount-released blockbusters will be “The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones.

Remember “The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles”? No, not the opening sequence of “The Last Crusade” starring River Phoenix as a teenage version of Harrison Ford’s iconic archeologist. We’re talking about the short-lived ’90s series starring Sean Patrick Flanery as the title character. The two-season curiosity has been mostly left behind in its decade, but now Disney has acknowledged it — and is putting it on Disney+, no less.
The news was announced out of The Walt Disney Company’s Upfronts Presentation on Tuesday afternoon.

A scene from Young IP Man: Crisis Time. Courtesy of WellGoUSA
I’ve enjoyed many of the films based on Ip Man, the eponymous actual Chinese martial arts hero of the last century – especially the batch starring Donnie Yen. Young IP Man: Crisis Time is set in 1917, when Ip Man came to Hong Kong as a teenager to further his education. Unfortunately, his upper-crust school is targeted by a big time criminal who’d just escaped from prison to occupy the whole place, holding the entire student body for ransom, aided by a small army of hench-persons.
Ip Man, of course, is compelled to rise to the occasion despite overwhelming odds, diminutive stature and a couple of other personal complications. In structure, this one more closely resembles a Bruce Willis Die Hard ordeal than most traditional martial movies. I wanted to like this film more than I could. The production is lavish enough,...

Nefarious tells the tale of a convicted serial killer waiting on the day of his execution. On that day he has a last minute, court-ordered psychiatric evaluation. The doctor then needs to decide if this man is who he claims to be – a demon, Nefarious, who quite happily wants the execution to go ahead.
Much of the movie, possibly about 70% of it, is just the serial killer, played by Sean Patrick Flanery and the doctor (James Martin), played by Jordan Belfi, talking to each other across a table in an otherwise empty room. It’s a battle of wits and character, as the doctor believes he can’t be fooled into calling this man crazy, until he’s not...

The Boondock Saints became a giant cult hit when it hit home video and, indeed, is a movie both loved and hated on this site. The film seemed to come out of nowhere. No one seemed to remember its theatrical run, but word of mouth soon made this film a huge underground hit. Why was this film so unknown? A multitude of factors played into the film’s mystery. Bad timing for the release, possibly bad word of mouth from a very famous studio head, and the biggest problem with the whole thing, the writer/director.

Even though “The Boys” Season 3 streamed almost a year ago in June-July of 2022, this is my friendly reminder to TV academy members that it’s eligible for the upcoming 2023 Emmy Awards. “The Boys” is a classic example of a television show that continues to build momentum year after year, and it shouldn’t be discounted when marking your ballots in the coming months. After all, the third season was better than ever with new characters, deathly twists and naughty orgies.
The first season of the Amazon Prime Video comic book adaptation only nabbed a single Emmy nomination in 2020 for sound editing. But the show rebounded in 2021 with five bids for Season 2: drama series, writing (Rebecca Sonnenshine for “What I Know”), music & lyrics (Christopher Lennertz and Michael Saltzman for “Never Truly Vanish”), sound mixing and visual effects. After taking off the 2022 Emmy cycle, will “The Boys” be back in town...

"He got in your head, didn't he?" Believe Entertainment has unveiled an official trailer for Nefarious, a wonky psychological thriller opening in select theaters this spring. This is actually strangely another religious propaganda film made by the guys behind films like The Book of Daniel, God's Not Dead 1 & 2, and Do You Believe? - an important detail to point out. But it's still an interesting premise, as long as you can look past the ulterior motives. On the day of his scheduled execution, a convicted serial killer gets a psychiatric evaluation during which he claims he is a demon, then further claims that before their time is over, the psychiatrist will commit three murders of his own. Starring Sean Patrick Flanery, Jordan Belfi, James Healy Jr., Eric Hanson, and Stelio Savante. They're good about covering up the religious aspects, but this seems to be all about "you cannot say his name...
