Jared Hess, writer/director of Napoleon Dynamite, appears to be sticking with that works for him = unfortunate geekery. An awkward teen gets his sci-fi story ripped off by his novelist idol.

I was never really a fan of the original Boondock Saints , so Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day is pretty low...

With a couple of exceptions, I pretty much took the month of October off from arranging screening, but November is going to be much busier.
