It's so crazy to think that growing up, we were scolded for swearing. It's still discouraged in so many situations, yet here we are seeing celebrities making millions in movies with those perfectly-placed curse words.
This is why the Mark Wahlberg family left an estate with 12 bedrooms and 20 baths, a guest cottage, full basketball court, multi-level grotto style pool, 5-hole golf course, spa, tennis court, home theatre, 5,000 bottle wine cellar, and more.
Welcome to the 90210 and 71 Beverly Park, a 30,500 square foot home owned by Mark Wahlberg. But for how long, who knows? Maybe he'll move back here to the Boston area and make it his home base.
When it comes to making “true story” movies, there’s always a certain sense of pressure on everyone involved to be as true to the real events as the movie allows. That’s what Mark Wahlberg and co. were most concerned with when it came to making Patriots Day, but it appears their attempt to “do it right” still left some people in the dust. Now, Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s widow Katherine Russell says that the movie’s portrayal of her is unjust and “unfair.”
When making a movie about any real historical tragedy, especially if it’s recent, there’s an onus on the people behind the project to be true to the material. No one in Hollywood, save for maybe the Afflecks, loves Boston more than Mark Wahlberg, and he’s said before that his prime concern with making Patriots Day, a drama about the Boston Marathon bombings, is “getting it right.” A new trailer before this week’s release of the film hammers that point home even further, with footage from the movie intercut with statements from the real people who were there that day.
When you make a movie about any sort of national disaster, especially one still so far in the forefront of the American consciousness as the 2013 Boston marathon bombings, it’s important to treat the film’s subjects with respect. You can’t sacrifice the truth just to put in some fictional drama, and director Peter Berg knows this, opting instead to involve as many people as possible in Patriots Day who were there on the day of the bombings. A new featurette, which came out today, shows how Berg and his associates, along with the film’s stars, did everything they could to provide a sense of authenticity to the film.
The Patriots defense came up big, now two weeks in a row, and saved the offense's butt yesterday. To make matters worse, Mark Wahlberg left Mr. Kraft hanging on a high-five.
First it was Tom Brady who was left hanging as he tried to high five his teamates, now Patriots owner Robert Kraft got shunned by Mark Wahlberg (the former Marky Mark) after Gronk's TD yesterday.
