Six minutes of "Ana" in Guadalajara

Last weekend, Mexican Film-maker Carlos Carrera ("El Crimen del Padre Amaro", "Traspatio"), winner of the Golden Palm Award for his animated short film "El Heroe", showed a 6 minute-long scene of Ana, his first 3D animated feature movie at the International Film Festival of Guadalajara. As of April, everyone will be able to enjoy the 6 minutes-long scene of "Ana" at the official webpage of its film production company, www.locolocofilms.com. In May, it will be screened in 3D at the Cannes Festival.

Ana represents a landmark project in Mexican 3D animation. It is expected to compete with the stunning productions of renowned studios such as "Pixar" and "Dreamworks". We will be able to enjoy more than one scene until 2012 when the Locoloco Film Team is expected to finish making this costly production.

The Boondock Saints

Directed by Troy Duffy. Sean Patrick Flanery and Norman Reedus play the Catholic Irish brothers Connor and Murphy MacManus. They live in an Irish-American neighborhood in Boston. They live a common life working at a meat packing factory.

The story gets started when the brothers are celebrating Saint Patrick's Day (Irish celebration) in a friend's pub. Suddenly, three Russian mobsters show up in the pub. Aggressively, they threaten the pub owner and order him to shut his business down. The brothers try to talk with the mobsters but it only caused a fight to break up.

The next morning, the mobsters go to the brothers' house in order to kill them. But the brothers fight back and kill them.Upon getting rid of the Russian mobsters, the brothers have a sort of "divine revelation" which makes them hunt down and eliminate mafia members, killers, rapists, pedophiles...summing up, all kind of human scum. People start calling them "The Saints" and gradually , they gain more and more supporters. As their killing spree goes on, FBI Agent Paul Smecker (Willem Dafoe) is designated to arrest "The Saints". But, Smecker can't help but wonder if "The Saints" doings are right or wrong.

The Boondock Saints was screened in US theaters for a short time (it only lasted on for about a week).Also, the film was severely criticized for being very violent. Nowadays, in spite of the aforementioned circumstances, The Boondock Saints is considered as a cult movie. A sequel to this movie entitled "The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day" was released on DVD last year.
