  2. Lone Survivor was awesome, glad to you have it ranked so high. Ted was not funny. The best parts got shown in the trailer.

    1. Hey Stile…I have not seen Lone Survivor yet…but it is high on my list of movies to watch. I also agree with you about Ted…I thought it was ok…..but not too many laugh out loud moments.

  3. Hey, I really enjoyed this web site. I thought he played a good role in The Shooter – have seen that movie a few times. Thanks for all the great news – I understand that he has four children. I like his brother Donnie playing Danny in Blue Bloods on TV. ANOTHER GREAT WEB PAGE COGERSON. WAY TO GO. I CANNOT SEE WHAT PART DONNIE PLAYED IN THE SIXTH SENSE – ANOTHER GOOD MOVIE.

    1. Hey BERN1960….Donnie Wahlberg played the crazy kid that broke into Bruce’s house….shot Bruce and them himself. Shooter is a movie that many people like. It is ranked in the middle of his movies on the Cogerson Movie Score table.

  4. Interesting page. I do have one question for you. What does George Clooney play in The Truth About Charlie? Thinking you have a mistake there.

    1. Hey Charlie….yep I missed that one…but thanks for the heads up. Sadly my web servor is down and I can not update the page….but I will be doing it soon.

  5. Excellent work as always Bruce. Good to see Ted hasn’t beaten The Departed on the moviescore. 🙂
    I’ve seen 22 of the 34 films you’ve listed. 10 from the box office 10 and 7 from the critics 10. I still have not seen Lone Survivor. There was a girl on my movie forum who was crazy about Wahlberg, she would get annoyed whenever I referred to him as ‘the frowner’.

    1. Hey Steve….thanks for the visit and comment. I have seen 27 of the 32. The Lone Survivor is one of the few that I have seen. I wonder how many people survive that one? The “frowner” has put together a pretty impressive movie career. He is probably a Top 10 actor now….as almost every movie he makes generates some box office heat. That being said…I am not looking forward to Transformers 4….but it will make a ton of money.
