Fool's Gold...My choice of the week



This week I’ll talk about what is my top choice for the movie that will be shown for the week or the movie that I’ll predict to rule the box office.

We got a lot of choices for this week, but let me trim it down to four.

If you’re looking for a black comedy, there is Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins, which tells the story of Talk-show sensation RJ Stevens, who left behind his modest Southern upbringing and family name to transform into a self-help guru dispensing his "Team of Me" philosophy to millions of adoring fans. With a reality-TV-star fiancee and money to burn, there's no piece of the Hollywood dream RJ hasn't achieved. After his parents request that he come home for their 50th wedding anniversary, that’s where the wackiness of this film come flourishing. It stars Martin Lawrence.

If stand up comedy is the one thing that makes you laugh there’s Vince Vaughn Wild West Comedy Show. It chronicles Vince Vaughn stand up comedy show over the U.S. in 2005.It’s kinda sort of documentary along with the funniest jokes thrown in the tour

If you’re a fan of Paris Hilton or who just like to look or admire her body, then her new film is for you, The Hottie or the Nottie. It tells a story about that started in puppy love that grows as years goes on.

My top pick for the week is Fool’s Gold, the second team up of Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson. Their first team up is the romantic comedy How to Lose a Guy in 10 days. This time they are teaming up for an action adventure movie. Matthew stars as Ben Finnegan a surf bum-turned-treasure hunter who is obsessed with finding the legendary 18th century Queen's Dowry--40 chests of exotic treasure that was lost at sea in 1715. In his quest, Finn has sunk everything he has, including his marriage to Tess Finnegan and his more-rusty-than-trusty salvage boat, "Booty Calls." Just as Tess has begun to rebuild her life, working aboard a mega-yacht owned by billionaire Nigel Honeycutt, Finn discovers a vital clue to the treasure's whereabouts. Certain that his luck will change with the newfound information, Finn maneuvers himself aboard Nigel's yacht and, using his good-natured charm, convinces the tycoon and his Blackberry-wielding, celebutante daughter, Gemma, to join him in the pursuit of the Spanish treasure. Against Tess' better judgment, the search rekindles her love... of discovery. But they are not the only ones after the treasure. Finn's mentor-turned-nemesis Moe Fitch has also set out to claim the prize. Let the treasure hunt begins

This is more like National Treasure on a water. Go out and choose. The choice is yours.

a touchdown by....WE ARE MARSHALL


Football. The game almost everybody loves mainly to its body smashing and emotions every game. Based on a true story the film “ We Are Marshall ” depicts the flight of the 1970’s football team of Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia.

After the plane crash that wiped out Marshall’s beloved football team, The Thundering Herd. The entire town of Huntington was in grief losing sons, brothers, fathers and mothers. With the death of almost the entire team, the University’s Board of Director plans to suspend the football team. But with Nate Ruffin, one of the remaining football player, and some students drive to keep the team, the University President Don Dedmon finally decided to keep the team and the program.

With no one willing to coach the team, Jack Lengyel portrayed by Matthew McConaughey came to their feet to coach the team and build the team from scratch with the help of Assistant Coach Red Dawson played by Matthew Fox.

They had some difficulties recruiting players, most of the players they recruited are from different various field of sports. University President Don Dedmon had a hard time appealing to the NCAA to make some exemption to allow them to play college freshman after what happen to their team, but got rejected each time he appeals. Until Jack told him to approach to them personally because like what he always says, there’s a first time for everything.

The film keeps you cheering for the team against their opponent who are much more experienced, stronger and older. Teaches us how to overcome adversity to our life, if you get knock down, you have to get up just like football. Winning is everything for the Thundering Herd before the fatal crash. But when Jack came, it’s not about winning or losing, it’s not about how you play the game, but just playing the game and keeping the program alive.

This film is a beautifully crafted drama directed by McG, scores one big emotional touchdown, keeping the school spirit alive. You’ll also hear some great songs from the 70’s.

If you like football and drama, NBC’s Friday Night Lights and Remember the Titans, this one’s for you. We Are…. Marshall!!!!!
