Marky-Mark
« on: March 28, 2008, 04:53:45 AM »
What is wrong with me? I can't help myself from liking Mark Wahlberg movies.

He's not a great actor. He falls somewhere in the Kevin Costner range of playing himself over and over. His range is more narrow than the gap in a gnat's butt. But Lord help me, I really like his movies. Boogie Nights, Three Kings, The Yards, The Big Hit, Invincible. He's done a great job as producer as well with Entourage and In Treatment.

In a metal mood indeed.

He is far from the worst of the B actors thats for sure. He played well in Three Kings.

I'm watching Invincible for the umpteenth time and I hate The Iggles. Really, I do... but I'm hooked on this flick.

I think it's more of the underdog that pulls it off.

Papale at the 40. He's at the 30, the 20, the 10...

You know, the only movie I've seen him in where I thought he was out of his acting league was in The Departed.  To me you could really tell he was intimidated by the actors around him.  He didn't seem his usual cocky, confident self.

 I believe it was Donny that was in "The Departed".  I think he's a better actor than Marky Mark, but I like Mark too.  Though honestly I think it's more because I'd rather have them in movies than making albums :lol

It was Mark in the departed - and he was fine....he wasn't acting intimidated - he was one of the better ones

even tho he is a little tiny guy like the majority of the new actors..

He plays manly a lot better.   he pulls it off better than say decrapio or that damon guy.

My girlfriend was telling me during our viewing of "the departed" that they were not that tiny...  I told her.. "see that gun he is holding?  that great big huge cannon?... thats a walther ppk.. a tiny little gun."

She seemed doubtful so I paused it and got one out of the safe.. a stainless interarms one.. I could palm it like some cheap magician.  it was positively tiny in my hand.  In most guys hands.
