Kate Mara: The Tummy Edition
I am really fascinated by Kate Mara, but especially her tummy. What is going on with that tummy? It’s flat enough, not exactly muscular, but there are some strange curves happening there that I’ve never seen before. Which should thank “Shooter” for introducing the world to Kate Mara. Sure, the Mark Wahlberg action movie was a major flop at the box office (I couldn’t begin to tell you why, I loved it), but it’ll be remembered as the movie where people first noticed Kate Mara and her irresistible tummy. I still don’t know what it is about her that fascinates me, but Kate Mara is just so fascinating.
“Shooter” star Kate Mara
All things being equal, it would be nice if the Mark Wahlberg action movie “Shooter” turned Kate Mara into a viable big movie heroine. Not only because it’s been a while since we’ve had a really sexy redhead to ogle, but since her guest starring turn in “24″, I’ve become a fan of any actress that can out-twitch the twitch factory, ala Mary Lynn Rajskub. So catch “Shooter” when it comes out, or at least trick your girlfriends into seeing it. Trust me, she deserves to be tricked. Think of all the crappy movies she’s dragged you to; now it’s your turn! (But don’t tell her it’s my idea…)
Movies I’m Looking Forward to: “Shooter”
Antoine Fuqua’s “Shooter”, the big screen adaptation of Stephen Hunter’s “Point of Impact”, is one of the few movies I’m looking forward to that isn’t called “Transformers” or “300″. It’s got an intriguing premise, Mark Wahlberg is great in this type of physical action roles, and for some reason, movies about snipers and the art of sniping gets me all giddy, which is probably why I’ve seen all three “Sniper” movies with Tom Berenger when 99% of the population has no idea there were more than 1. The trailer for “Shooter” also rocks all kinds of ways, with the lovely Kate Mara playing Wahlberg’s love interest and Rhona Mitra in badass babe mode.
Kate Mara and Mark Wahlberg in “Shooter”
Mark Wahlberg and Kate Mara (Remember her? The wacky redhead from Season 5 of “24″ who crossed paths with our beloved Chloe O’Brian?) teams up to bring down Washington political scumbags in “Shooter”. The movie is a contemporary reworking of the original novel “Point of Impact” by Stephen Hunter, about an ex-Marine sniper who is tricked out of retirement, set up by some political scumbags, and then must clear his name as a nationwide manhunt for him begins. The narrative sounds a lot like “The Bourne Identity” minus the amnesia and France, but don’t let that stop you from watching it anyway. The film has some promise; not only does the plot sound good, but Wahlberg has gotten some major creds coming off his insanely good role in “The Departed”. And Kate Mara is curiously very appealing to me.
