Just as good as original

Duffy didn't lose a beat in his sequel to one of the greatest movies ever made. Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day is ever bit as entertaining as the original - laughs, action & never a dull moment. GREAT surprise at the end - it was nice not having it spoiled. Story picks up where the first movie left off & even for those under a rock for the past 8 yrs, there is plenty of recapping to catch everyone up. Julie Benz's southern drawl was a little over the top but her character, Eunice Bloom, was a perfect match for the brothers. Anyone that thought this movie was less then satisfying was looking for too much. When does a sequel ever surpass the original-never, but All Saints Day was very entertaining & I look forward to seeing it again soon.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Good adaptation for low budget

I thought Catherine Hardwicke did a great job with the adaptation of the Twilight book to screen. For those that criticize consider the following: 1. did you even read the book? If not the perhaps a lot of what happens (or doesn't, i.e., lack of fangs) disappoints, 2. Hardwicke was only allowed $36 million to make this movie. Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, etc are given a considerable much larger budget. I thought Catherine did an excellent job with what she was given. I believe New Moon and Eclipse (the sequels already planned for production) will be on a much larger scale with the success of Twilight and thus those movies will be more visually stimulating for those that can't be imaginative on their own.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
