Boston – Deep Sand

Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day – A Movie Review

January 2, 2010January 2, 2010 John Action, Billy Connolly, Boston, Clifton Collins, Drama, Julie Benz, Norman Reedus, Patrick Flanery, Sequel, Troy Duffy

When a priest is murdered in Boston, the MacManus brothers abandon their secluded life in Ireland to look into the case. Don’t let the lack of promotion for “Boondock Saints 2” fool you. The plot picks up in Ireland where brothers Connor (Sean Patrick Flannery) and Murphy (Norman Reedus) McManus are hiding out after the events of the last movie. A priest shot in Boston, in the same style the brothers are known for, makes them the prime suspects. Writer/ director Troy Duffy is going for the old-school Charles Bronson-style vigilante movie, and achieves something pretty close to that.

Boston’s Big Dig–Top Secret Stuff

April 2, 2007 John Big Dig, Boston, Homeland Security, MA, National Security, Transportation

In Boston, the state is trying to shut down a lawsuit brought by the family of Milena Del Valle, who was killed last July when 12 tons of Boston’s Big Dig tunnel fell on her husband’s car. The excuse they’ve given this time is that if they turn over relevant documents to the family, the nation’s transportation security could be compromised.
