Fool's Gold (I) (2008)
1/10
The worst movie I have EVER seen!!!
17 February 2008
I can honestly say that this movie was one of the worst I have EVER seen at the theaters. Matthew and Kate had not as nearly as romantic chemistry in this waste of a film like they had in How to Loose A Guy in 10 Days. In fact, they seemed like one of the worst movie couples ever in that movie.

Fool's Gold's plot was stupid and drawn-out. Nothing made sense and I was consistently confused throughout the movie. I hated the whole cheesy treasure-hunting theme; it was all so ridiculous to me, and I wanted to leave forty minutes into the film, willing to wait outside for the person who dragged me into the stupid movie.

There was WAY too many cheesy clichés in the film, like the dumb bimbo daughter who was supposed to make you laugh- keyword, SUPPOSED, because she will NOT- but really sucked up the movie even more (something I didn't think was remotely possible) and made me want to throw up; and of course the villain, a pimp named "Big Bunny" who was retarded enough to make the stupid rub off onto the audience.

Overall, this movie was god awful and so terrible I felt like throwing up. The only party I even giggled at was when Kate hit Matthew over the head with a golf club, because that's what I wanted to do to him.

DON'T SEE THIS MOVIE!!!!!

27 Dresses (2008)
7/10
Cute and romantic
17 February 2008
27 Dresses is a cute, funny chick flick. I enjoyed watching the movie with my friends; we were all laughing and having fun seeing who Katherine's character would end up with in the end.

There were many funny, romantic scenes in the movie that would make you laugh and sigh, like when James and Katherine sang "Bennie and the Jets" at a random bar when they were stuck in the rain, and the romantic twists that occurred throughout the film.

Although the movie was a bit predictable, the plot was pretty much good. I enjoyed seeing a chick flick with a classic "boy meets girl, girl falls in love with boy, other boy tries to get girl to fall for him" with another twist- the main character has been a bridesmaid 27 times! This is a fun movie where you don't really have to think, like you would have to in complicated movies like "There Will Be Blood". Anyone who likes chick flicks like "The Holiday" with Jude Law will have fun watching this. It was worth the money for me!

Moderately fun film
17 February 2008
"Step Up 2 the streets" is a movie that is for a fun, "no-thinking" outing. The sequel to the popular "Step Up" was obviously not as good as the first (sequels and prequels never really are) but it was a fun film to watch.

There was a few good comedic scenes, and the street dancing really was incredible, especially at the end of the movie. This kind of movie is obviously going to be a little bit predictable and cheesy, but still- it's fun to see with some friends on a Saturday night.

Also, the soundtrack really helped improve the movie; there were many excellent, cool songs playing throughout the film, such as "The Way I are" by Timbaland and "Low" by Flo-rida ft. T-Pain.

If you give it a chance, you may enjoy it. It depends on whether or not you enjoy feel-good, funny dance movies. If not, then don't go see it! The final verdict: Step Up 2 is a moderately fun film.
