Fun Facts:
 
-Tagline:                 “Cops or Criminals. When you’re facing
                                   a loaded gun, what’s the difference?”
 
-Translation:           “When you’re confronted with this much
                                   Boston, how can you not want a bowl of
                                   chowder afterwards?”
 
-Review Starring:    Everyone! Which includes not one, but TWO
                                   girls!
 
-Movie Starring:      Also everyone! But only one girl (we win!)
 
-Directed by:            Oh, what was his name? Sco…ski…skipped
                                   over for the Oscars? Eh, it’ll come to me,
                                   I’m sure.
 
-Written by:             William Monahan (shhhhh…it’s a remake!)
 
The Good:                Umm…everything?
 
The Bad:                   It ends.
 
The Rating:              0 out of 5 shots
 
The Bottom Line:    After a tepid previous two outings, Martin
                                  Scorsese brings his mobster mentality to the
                                  mean streets of Boston, and the resulting film is
                                  the best work he has done in the last fifteen
                                  years. Intense, witty, passionate and bloody as
                                  all hell; you’ll pay for a full seat, but you’ll only
                                  need THE EDGE! Yeah... we went there...
 
An all-star cast, well, stars…in this review! Matt alone felt he could not sing the praises of this movie enough, so he enlists the help of all the players from previous Same Night episodes to make a triumphant return to the very small screen. SEE as they trade racial hatreds! AMAZE at their lack of proper grammar! FIND the lying bastard among the once so trustworthy crew. TASTE the beerfaroni! That doesn’t make any sense! Oh, it will, trust me…it will.
