Did a double-header movie night. Just watched Shooter (IMDB 7.1 (?!?), so I gave it a shot), I knew it would be bad and it didn’t let me down.
Anyone know how many “super human, amazing military man retires but is then convinced to return for one last mission” movies there have been? Is no one embarrassed about pitching these movie “ideas” in Hollywood? Who writes these things? Do the actors read it and go “Wow, this is AMAZING, how did you come up with this?”, I have got to be the guy who talks him into coming back from retirement. Oh please! please please please please.
It has a small completely predictable twist, but it also has slow motion sequences, the unbelievable and some really bad facial expressions. I think it was custom built for two audiences:
1) American “Deer Hunter” types
2) JFK Conspiracy Nuts (I mean that in a nice way)
If this was Marky Marks first movie, I would have suggested he stay with the Funky Bunch…
My ice cream was great though, Australian Home Made Belgian chocolate…confusing eh?
P.S. Oh yeah, and Mark, I always liked Heavy D & the Boyz better.
P.P.S. Yes, in future I will blog all my movies, that way I can search my blog to work out if I have seen them before or not…yes, my movie memory is THAT bad…
How many helicopters were in the film?
The CRAPness of any movie is directly proportional to the number of helicopters in it.
Love and kisses.

Actually that is an awesome question, from memory, and frankly a lot of it has now been blanked out, there were two helicopters with significant parts. Both of them, incredibly, we shot down by a man with a sniper rifle.
I guess anyone can shoot ducks….
