...Left with an absurd amount of plot leeway, “All Saints Day” busies itself engaging in a self-referential elevation of campiness. While a great deal of the humor in the original hinged upon the brothers’ bungled attempts to recreate old action movie scenes, “All Saints Day” makes a conscious attempt to churn out fantastically outlandish fight scenes and hard-boiled, quotable one-liners. Murphy kicks off a killing campaign by cheekily remarking to his brother, “Let’s do some gratuitous violence...
...first film left off with the brothers, Connor (Sean Patrick Flanery) and Murphy MacManus (Norman Reedus), aided by their fresh-from-prison father (Billy Connolly), and a slick, sharp-tongued FBI agent, Paul Smecker (Willem Dafoe), killing off the head of the Yakavetta crime family in a courtroom. Though they lost their buddy Roc (David Della Rocca), a bumbling, Mafia delivery boy, in the process, they seemed well on their way to completing their mission of eliminating Boston’s “scum”: mobsters, pimps, drug dealers, in short, anyone who offends their sense of right...

Bill Owens, an attorney with left-of-center views, was the choice of the Democrats, while Dierdre (Dede) Scozzafava, a moderate state assemblywoman from the district, was the pick of the local GOP. Doug Hoffman, an accountant living over the district line in Lake Placid, then declared his own candidacy with the backing of the state's Conservative Party leaders, who had opted not to endorse Scozzafava. Now Scozzafava...
...Based on the most recent polls, it seems Scozzafava has little chance of winning; her support is trending downward, while Hoffman is gaining ground, putting him in a tight race with Owens with only four days left until voters go to the polls. The newest television ad on Hoffman's campaign website attacks Owens, now perceived as a bigger rival than Scozzafava. And on Thursday, Representative Pete Sessions, chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, told Politico that Hoffman would be welcomed "with open arms" into the GOP caucus, no doubt to the dismay of the party's official candidate...
