The Building Blocks of Mark Wahlberg's Block Building

For starters, I am dealing with the Marky Mark not Mark L. Walberg; although, I was a huge fan of him on “Russian Roulette.”

Here are four random moments in Mark Wahlberg’s chemical analysis, that will determine analytical things about his manly chemistry.

Only picking four……

The Lovely Bones
Jack Salmon



People who have read the book, told me this movie was terrible. However, I thoroughly enjoyed this film. One reason was the eerily striking performance of Stanley Tucci (former s/s award winner), and the other was the subtle grieving nature of Mark Wahlberg. This role had something so honest. He was a father in mourning, and he played that well, but also, there was an intriguing almost mystic quality about his character that he brought into the world(s).

The Italian Job
Charlie Croker



To be honest, I despised this film. I thought it was cocky and smug. I even created a word to describe it, “smocky.” I just felt it was so synthetic, and so many disagree with me, but Mark Wahlberg put on a character that was full of hot air.

Boogie Nights
Eddie Adams/ Dirk Diggler



When I took Business Writing at Edinboro, I pretended to write my project letters to Paul Thomas Anderson, who makes some awesome movies. He and MW went well together. This is a high floor for Mark Wahlberg, and if I called his character in the Italian Job hot air….this role was all HOT DOG. It had depth, and it had strength. He almost made every man on Earth seem incapable.

Fear
David MacCall


I saw this movie in 1998 or 1999. I was around 10 years old, and I knew nothing of the subject material. At the time I thought his freaked-out inner demon character was so righteous. I just remember being in awe of his bizarre madness. I saw it several years later as a teenager, and I didn’t really remember the same level of fascination, but I guess if I ever have to show a movie to preteens, it would be this one.

Other notes:
In 2013 he will star in the “The Brazilian Job,” which as many say sounds more like a wax.

More notes:

Unlike some, I enjoyed “The Other Guys” to an extent.
I did not enjoy him in “The Happening.”
“The Perfect Storm” could have been better.
I have never seen “Invincible” and many others.
He had an awesome scene at the end of “The Departed.”

QATFYG:
Who wants to throw around some more Mark Wahlberg moments?

"Mon Soleil" - Ashley Park

If there's anything people take away from my piss-poor legacy, I hope it's what a huge, unabashed fan of "Emily in Paris" I am and will continue to be. People love "90 Day Fiancee," "The Bachelor," and other garbage - allow me "Emily," which is at least harmless, kind of goofy fluff (which does, unfortunately, lean into some stereotypes, as the country of Ukraine knows ). I have already watched Season 2 twice. And honestly my favorite part of this show (despite my crush on Camille Razart and Lily Collins channeling Audrey Hepburn hardcore ) is Ashley Park. This woman has superstar written all over her. She's a bona fide Broadway star, and "Emily in Paris" has served as her pivot into the zeitgeist.  "Emily in Paris" is also showcasing her vocal prowess front and center this season, with her covering BTS, "All By Myself," "Sympathtique," and Marilyn Monroe. But the real standout performance is th

Appropriate Holiday Gift Ideas for the Single Lady

While some people may see it as a drag, there are plenty of benefits to being single during the holiday season. During this time of the year, there are tons of parties you can attend that you may not have had the opportunity to if you were in a relationship. There’s also not as much stress on you as a single gal during the holidays because you don’t have to shop for your partner and extended family members  or  stress over where to eat Christmas dinner.  Not everyone sees the bright side of being fancy free during the holidays, and, tragically, they aren't afraid to let us single ladies know. Not only are single women subjected to even more harassment and ridicule during the holiday season, they’re also given the most obnoxious gifts by those who can’t comprehend how anyone can be both happy and single. Whether it’s a self-help book (desperately) trying to reinforce how great is to be single or the gift of a year-long subscription to Match.com , single women are presented with

Give JR a Break

Recently, I've been reading some sites that have criticized James Roday, the lead actor on the USA show PSYCH for an apparent weight gain. But you know what? Who gives a flying fizzle stick if James Roday is slightly larger than he was 4 years ago. Apparently, it wasn't enough to scare away his current girlfriend/ co-star Maggie Lawson. (Who is one hell of a Catch!) And NO they are not engaged. That seems to be nothing more than a rumor, but there is a very high chance of it happening in the near future. Anyway, as long as PSYCH continues to entertain I don't mind about James Roday's waist. He, and Dule Hill, and Corbin Bernson too, can eat all the fried broccoli they want. The last episode of PSYCH wasn't so smashing, but I don't blame it on dietary issues. QATFYG: Are you keeping up with Psych? And who is hotter, James Roday or Maggie Lawson? (Trick Question but idk why) PS: If you have heard any more news on Roday and Lawson becoming Roday-Lawson, send it
