i searched and didn't see a thread

caught it tonight, surprisingly a lot better than i thought it'd be, and longer too. it was worth a watch though

3/30/2007 11:24:20 PM

it was a liberals wet dream, aside from children of men of course. but yeah it was a decent action flick

3/30/2007 11:47:50 PM

^how bout runaway jury?

3/31/2007 12:03:38 AM

that too

3/31/2007 12:31:35 AM

^ Three way tie. Haha

3/31/2007 12:32:50 AM

I've had a hard time watching Mark Wahlberg since his role in the Departed. He just seemed corny as hell.

3/31/2007 1:08:54 AM

mark whalberg has been corny since italian job

3/31/2007 1:11:52 AM

are we forgetting marky mark?

3/31/2007 1:27:25 AM

I just thought his character in the Departed was cheesy because he managed to curse more than the entire cast combined in the span of about 5 minutes. Who actually talks like that?

Actually I guess the screenwriter is to blame.

3/31/2007 1:37:50 AM

shooter was entertaining as hell

snipe someones arm off .... bad ass

3/31/2007 2:13:09 AM

it was a good action flick, the plot was kinda dumb

3/31/2007 2:16:12 AM

I think his brother is a much better actor

3/31/2007 7:18:50 AM

^^^^Have you ever met someone that grew up in Southie? His lines and accent were spot on in The Departed.

On topic - The trailers made me think Shooter was nothing special but I may check it out now based on your reviews

did that guy have his gun taped to his hand? that seemed kind of weird

i read the book, i may have to check this out

3/31/2007 7:57:33 PM

OH NOES ITS TEH LIBERAL CONSPIRACY

4/1/2007 12:41:39 AM

Every time I see a commercial for this, I think of Happy Gilmore.

TOO true. I have to listen to that kind of shit when I ride the T.... especially during baseball season.

Yes, he did. Its a common thing in hostage situations. Basically you, as the hostage taker, tape your hand to the trigger, and the gun to your hostages head . That way, if they shoot you, apparently most of the time your downward fall will make you pull the trigger. Atleast thats the jist of it. Not sure how good those things work, but I suppose good enough to where the cops wont shoot you as the hostage taker if you have that rigged up. However, the arm off with a sniper rifle/disabling the shotgun with a sniper shot, prolly dont factor in too often.

It was done a few years back.

4/2/2007 8:11:46 PM

^ yeah i said that same thing, however shooter is much better than that

4/2/2007 8:56:48 PM

about 30 minutes into it right now...good flick

6/17/2007 1:10:53 AM

anything with wahlberg is prolly gonna be decent enough to finish watching but the commercials for this didnt look too great

6/17/2007 1:12:26 AM

somehow it got about a 7/10 on imdb.com which is fairly strong

I will say its definitely not a corny sniper movie...Wahlberg is basically a badass sniper who retired and the govt wants him back to try and prevent a presidential assassination...surprisingly good so far

i cant remember what movies Donny was in...was he in Basketball Diaries? I know both of their music sucked but 'Good Vibrations' wasnt as bad as some NKOTB crap

6/17/2007 1:14:17 AM

solid flick (even though one of my .VOBs had a few issues)

concise synapsis: ex marine pro sniper gets called back into action to stop a presidential assassination...gets betrayed and becomes a patsy...seeks revenge...definitely a good movie

donnie wahlberg was the damn man in Band of Brothers as Sgt. Lipton


come onnnnnn the wahlbergs got it goin on. Shooter = awesome

6/17/2007 12:07:49 PM

the ending part with the snow sniping was pretty cool

6/17/2007 6:17:01 PM

when did glover get a lisp?

6/23/2007 11:08:25 PM

^ my wife and I wondered the same thing

she actually wonders if he had a stroke -- seems like a valid question, it was pretty bad

6/23/2007 11:50:13 PM

or it could have been the acting

6/24/2007 3:09:32 PM

donnie wahlberg was great in Southies

6/24/2007 11:36:18 PM

i havent seen Southies and didnt watch Band of Brothers, so that at least explains why I dont know him as anything other than Donnie, the bad boy of NKOTB fame

we wondered the same thing when i saw it with my friends. I noticed he was wearing what looked to be bottom braces or a retainer or something. So it may have been that he had dental issues.

some interesting things about this movie that i'm glad didn't happen..
