I haven’t settled on a style for post titles but I’m not into wordy/unstructured post titles for reviews – it’s one of the things that makes the Engadget feed harder to skim through; so for now I’ve made it clear that this is a movie review and what the movie is vs. something like “Wahlberg hits the mark from a mile off”.
So The Shooter starring Mark Wahlberg came out this weekend. A military marksman is quickly set up to take the blame for an assasination at a presidential appearance and of course has to work to clear his name while uncovering how high the conspiracy goes…
It also features the now raspy Danny Glover. His character really didn’t ramp up enough on the side he ended on. Mark Wahlberg carried the hero role well enough but didn’t exhibit too much emotional range. The plot resolution was a little unsatisfying but the revenge quotient worked out just fine.
The movie makes a few direct digs about global war and oil. My favourite TV show, Boston Legal, does this fantastically (and with occasional gut busting humour) through the closing arguments of lawyer Alan Shore (played spot on by James Spader). Rhona Mitra is a supporting character in the movie and an ex-cast member of Boston Legal – she was under-used in the movie.
It’s an entertaining enough action movie, though perhaps a little long at 125min.

I agree with ya about the titles, I like “review” to be in there somewhere to make it easier to read/ignore.
There’s the decision between baiting mystery headline on one end and specific subject title on the other.
I think I’ll still with “Movie Review:” for movies because although I’ll probably have about one a week it’s not the main thread – I just think plenty of technology folks could also be movie goers which is why I’m including it.
I’m not sure about gadget reviews – perhaps I’ll title them with the main functionality and/or product name.
