Redeption and Revenge in DVD

In Black Snake Moan, a young girl is forced to redemption from her wicked ways. Christina Ricci and Samuel L. Jackson are an interesting pair, this film worked for me.

In Shooter, a man is out to avenge being wronged by the government, and he's pretty bitter. Explosions galore, this will be a strong rental.

Black Snake Moan worked for me as well, although I was a little surprised as I wasn't so sure going into the theater.

And I always feel that Wahlberg is stronger in supporting roles (Three Kings, The Departed, I Heart Huckabees, etc) than as a leading man. We'll see about this one.
