Fool's Gold (2008)
Entertainment
I am not sure which film some of the "reviewers" saw or what expectations were set for them but I have a different slant on the film.
If you are looking to escape into the movies, all the while being entertained, then this is a great example of a funny action film in the true Hollywood style (Formula).
It will make you feel good, laugh, and simply enjoy the breathtaking film locations. The chemistry between the stars is very obvious and is fun to watch.
The bottom line is that the movie brings entertainment to the movie watcher. If as a movie watcher, you require intellectual stimulation, I would suggest something like "There will be Blood" or read a book. 7/10
Follow the Sun (1951)
Great Golf Story Movie
I have seen this movie several times since owning it and I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in history, golf, Ben Hogan, or generally being entertained.
Upon creating any movie about a real person, Hollywood may choose to cast a light in a certain manner and in the vein of entertainment, what is the harm? Some may indicate that Mr. Hogan was not as cheerful and compassionate as Glenn Ford's version but that is simply opinion. The bottom line is that Follow the Sun is very well made and acted and if you are a fan of Ben Hogan, you will love it as I do.
I am looking forward to a DVD release.
