What’s it take to succeed? Well, sitting around in your ketchup-stained boxers in front of a computer is apparently not going to get it done. Which basically means I won’t be famous any time soon. (Sad sigh.) For guys like Troy Duffy, director of “The Boondock Saints” movies, though, that’s weak shit. Duffy says as much in the new documentary by Jeff Santo called “Off the Boulevard”. It’s not just about film directors trying to make things happen, though, it also follows two musicians, two actors, and a comedian. Check out a trailer for it below. Off The Boulevard is a story of art and heart; and the dedication it takes to achieve your dreams.

If someone created a Macho Film Festival devoted to cinematic curios suffering from testosterone overload, "Liar's Poker" would win major awards. Such a festival would, however, constitute the only potential venue for this silly, swaggering film. Even the most macho male is likely to giggle at all the absurd posturing and menacing glances that proliferate in this negligible film.
"Liar's Poker" played this year at the Nortel Palm Springs Film Festival before finding its way into a few Los Angeles and Orange County theaters this weekend via self-distribution. The Chicago commodities traders-turned-film producers who backed this venture will soon learn the harsh truth: This is a film without a market. And its sole hook is that this marks the "biggest film role to date" for Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
It's hard to say what the film is about. At the beginning, four men take a solemn and mostly silent car ride into the countryside for a "fishing trip." It's clear that not everyone is going to survive this particular fishing expedition.
Flashbacks reveal duplicitious action and double-crosses among these smarmy characters, whose real business is hard to decipher. They appear to deal in cars and a nightclub. Everyone grunts cryptic, mostly monosyllabic dialogue while staring at one another with hard eyes.
Richard Tyson spends the movie puffing on stogies and issuing arrogant orders. Jimmy Blondell sullenly takes those orders between repeated trips to the bathroom. (He has a nervous bladder.) Caesar Luisi uses his beefed-up bulk to loom menacing while saying little. And Flea mostly looks like an anxious rabbit.
Debuting writer-director Jeff Santo films all this in tight shots within sterile environments that reveal actors with few resources beyond squints, stares and sneers.
The film ends in a bloodbath that is as predictable as it is ludicrous.
