Tale of two mongrels: me and my dog

IN ONE of his famous monologues, Billy Connolly had a go at Ronald Reagan, then President of the good ol' US of A. It seemed Reagan was of similar vintage to Connolly's dad and thus merited a comparison of their respective abilities and privileges.

review

"The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day" gives so much a bad name: Irish pride, clumsy sequel titles containing colons, ethnic slurs, homophobic un-wisecracks, Judd Nelson's inability to say "when" as an over-actor, and the inevitable shot of men walking toward the camera, in sunglasses and slow-motion, just before murdering someone.
